 WITNESSETH: 

WHEREAS, the Company, the Prior Co-Issuer and the initial Subsidiary Guarantors have previously executed and delivered an indenture,
dated as of April 27, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), with the Trustee providing for the issuance from time to time of one or more series of their Debt Securities (as defined therein); 

WHEREAS, Section 9.01(i) of the Base Indenture provides that, except as provided in the proviso thereto, the Company, the Prior
Co-Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into an indenture supplemental to the Base Indenture to change any of the provisions of the Base Indenture in respect of one or more series of Debt Securities, and in that connection the
Company, the Prior Co-Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors wish to provide that Finance Co (in lieu of the Prior Co-Issuer) shall be the co-issuer with the Company of any series of Debt Securities that may be issued from time to time on or after the
date hereof; 
 WHEREAS, Section 9.01(k) of the Base Indenture provides that the Company, the Prior Co-Issuer, the
Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into an indenture supplemental to the Base Indenture to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01, 2.03 and 9.01 of the Base Indenture; 

WHEREAS, the Issuers are entering into this Fourth Supplemental Indenture to, among other things, establish the form and terms of the

 (d) Each Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof and shall bear interest from
the date of original issuance thereof or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. 
 (e)
With respect to the Notes (and any related Guarantees) only, the Base Indenture shall be amended and supplemented pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.03 and 9.01 thereof to establish the form and terms of the Notes (and any related Guarantees) as set forth
in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, including as follows: 
 (i) the provisions of Articles I, II, III, IV, V,
VI, VII, IX, X, XI, XIII and XIV of the Base Indenture are deleted and replaced in their entirety by the provisions of Articles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture; and 

(ii) the Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. 

To the extent that the provisions of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture (including those referred to in clauses (i) and
(ii) immediately above) conflict with any provision of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be controlling solely with respect to the Notes (and any related Guarantees). 

(f) Unless otherwise expressly specified, references in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture to specific Article numbers or Section numbers
refer to Articles and Sections contained in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, and not the Base Indenture or any other document.

means a Global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto bearing the Global Note Legend and the Private Placement Legend and deposited with or on behalf of, and registered in the name of, the Depositary or its nominee that will be

 ARTICLE 2 

THE NOTES 

Section 2.01. Form and Dating. 
 (a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of
this Fourth Supplemental Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage in addition to those set forth on Exhibit A. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The
Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and
the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with
the express provisions of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 (b) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.01(b) shall only apply to Global Notes deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary. Participants and Indirect Participants shall have
no rights under this Fourth Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as the custodian for the Depositary or under such Global Note, and the Depositary shall be treated by the
Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuers, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuers
or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants or Indirect Participants, the Applicable Procedures or the operation
of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. 

  
 21 









 (c) Definitive Notes. Except as otherwise provided herein, owners of beneficial
interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Notes. 
 For greater certainty, the
provisions of this Section 2.01(c) are subject to the requirements relating to notations, legends or endorsements on Notes required by law, stock exchange rule, or agreements to which any Issuers are subject, if any. 

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. 
 (a) One Officer shall sign the Notes for each Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. 
 (b) If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. 

(c) A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that
the Note has been authenticated under this Fourth Supplemental Indenture. 
 (d) The Trustee shall, upon a written order of each
Issuer signed by one Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue. 
 (e) The
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Fourth
Supplemental Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuers or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

 Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 (a) The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuers may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term
“Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuers shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Fourth Supplemental Indenture. If the Issuers fail to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuers or any of
their Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar other than in connection with a Legal Defeasance pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Article 11 hereof. 

(b) The Issuers initially appoint The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global
Notes. 
 (c) The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee. They also initially appoint the Trustee to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes, and the Trustee hereby initially agrees so to act. 
 Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 
 The Issuers shall
require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any
time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuers or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If either Issuers or a
Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuers, the Trustee shall
serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.05. Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the 

  
 22 









 
Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such
form and as of such date or such shorter time as the Trustee may allow, as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders, and the Issuers shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). 

Holders may communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Fourth
Supplemental Indenture or under the Notes. The Issuers, the Trustee, the Registrar and any other Person shall have the protection of TIA Section 312(c). 
 Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. 
 (a) Transfer and Exchange of
Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request: 
 (A) to register the
transfer of such Definitive Notes; or 
 (B) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of
Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations, 
 the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its
reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Issuers and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 (b)
[Intentionally omitted.] 
 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Subject to Section 2.06(j), a Global
Note is not exchangeable, except for one or more Global Notes of the same aggregate denominations. The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Fourth
Supplemental Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. 
 (d) [Intentionally omitted.] 
 (e) [Intentionally omitted.] 

 (f) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have
either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned to the Depositary for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial
interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee
(if it is then the Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, to reflect such reduction. 
 (g) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. 
 (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s request. 

(ii) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. 
 (iii) The
Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of (a) any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article 3, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (b) any Note
for a period beginning 15 Business Days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed (except for the portion of any Note that is being redeemed in part that is not being redeemed) or between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date,
as the case may be. 
 (iv) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuers,
the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or 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 on such Note and for
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuers, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 23 









 (v) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of
this Fourth Supplemental Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Fourth Supplemental Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

(h) No Obligation of the Trustee. 
 (i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the
records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the
Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall
be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note in global form shall be exercised only through the
Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial
owners. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 
 (ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Fourth Supplemental Indenture or under applicable
law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including, without limitation, any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates
and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the
express requirements hereof. 
 (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 2.06, the terms and provisions
set forth in the following clauses (j) through (r) shall also apply to the Notes. To the extent that any of the terms and provisions of the following clauses (j) through (r) conflict with the express provisions of the foregoing
paragraphs of this Section 2.06, the terms and provisions of such clauses (j) through (r) shall govern and be controlling. 
 (j) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary
or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuers for Definitive Notes if: 

(i) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as
Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuers within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; 

(ii) the Issuers in their sole discretion determine that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged
for Definitive Notes and deliver a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; provided that in no event shall the Regulation S Global Note be exchanged by the Issuers for Definitive Notes prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period;
or 
 (iii) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes and the
Depositary notified the Trustee of its decision to exchange the Global Note for Definitive Notes. 
 Upon the occurrence of any
of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections
2.07 and 2.10 of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 of this Fourth
Supplemental Indenture, shall be authenticated and delivered in 

  
 24 









 
the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(j); provided, however, beneficial interests
in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(k), (l) or (o) hereof. 
 (k)
Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the

interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the
Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(k)(i);

Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(k)(i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the

	 	(1)	a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or
cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and 

  

	 	(2)	instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or


 (B) both: 
  

	 	(1)	a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to

	 	(2)	instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the
transfer or exchange referred to in (i) above; provided that in no event shall Definitive Notes be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note prior to the expiration of the Restricted
Period. 

 Upon consummation of an Exchange Offer by the Issuers in accordance with Section 2.06(o) hereof,
the requirements of this Section 2.06(k)(ii) shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon compliance by the Holders of such beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes with the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal for
exchanging such beneficial interests for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in the Indenture and the Notes or
otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(q) hereof. 

  
 25 









 (iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global

interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(k)(ii)
above and:

redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee in

 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee. 
 If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.08 hereof, they shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business Days (unless a shorter period is
acceptable to the Trustee) before the date of giving notice of the redemption pursuant to Section 3.04, a written notice setting forth (i) the clause of the Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption
date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (iv) the redemption price and (v) whether they request the Trustee to give notice of such redemption. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to the mailing of
notice of such redemption to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. 
 Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be
Redeemed. 
 If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption as
follows: 
 (i) if the Notes are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, in compliance with the
requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are so listed; or 
 (ii) if the
Notes are not so listed or there are no such requirements, on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Notes in global form, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption based on the Depositary’s method that most nearly approximates a pro rata
selection). 
 No Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. 

If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note shall state the portion of the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption without any
condition precedent become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption unless the Issuers default in making such redemption payment. 


  
 35 









 Section 3.03. [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 Section 3.04. Notice of Redemption. 
 Notices of redemption shall be
mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date
if the notice is issued in connection with a Legal Defeasance pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof. Notices of redemption may not be conditional, except that any
redemption pursuant to Section 3.08(c) hereof may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to completion of the related Equity Offering. 
 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers) and shall state: 
 (i) the redemption date; 
 (ii) the redemption price, if then
determined and otherwise the method of its determination; 
 (iii) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the
portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original
Note; 
 (iv) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(v) that Notes called for redemption (other than a Global Note) must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the
redemption price; 
 (vi) that, unless the Issuers default in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes
called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (vii) the paragraph of the Notes
and/or Section of the Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 

(viii) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice
or printed on the Notes. 
 If any of the Notes to be redeemed is in the form of a Global Note, then the Issuers shall modify
such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the procedures of the Depositary applicable to redemption. 
 At the
Issuers’ request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ names and at their expense; provided, however, that the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee, as provided in Section 3.01, a written
notice requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 
 Section 3.05. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 
 Once notice of
redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof, Notes called for redemption without any condition precedent become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. 

Section 3.06. Deposit of Redemption Price. Not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuers shall deposit
with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary thereof is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04 hereof) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and
accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to
pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. 
 If the Issuers comply with the
provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the
related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest
not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

 Section 3.07. Notes Redeemed in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuers shall issue and, upon the Issuers’ written request, the Trustee shall

 Section 3.10. Offer to Purchase by Application of Net Proceeds. 

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof, the Issuers shall be required to commence a pro rata offer (an “Asset
Sale Offer”) to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the Net Proceeds
of sales of assets to purchase Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness, it shall follow the procedures specified below. 
 The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 30 days following its commencement but no longer than 60 days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the
“Offer Period”). Promptly after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuers shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof (the
“Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered and not withdrawn in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments
are made. 
 Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuers shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee
and each of the Holders. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the

interest; 
 (d) that, unless the Issuers default in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset

 (e) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased
pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuers, a depositary,
if appointed by the Issuers, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 
 (f) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuers, the depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receive, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a
telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 

(g) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuers shall select the Notes
to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuers so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 above such amount thereof, shall be purchased); and 

(h) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes (accompanied by a notation of the Guarantees duly
endorsed by the Subsidiary Guarantors) equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

properly withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes so tendered and not withdrawn, shall deposit by 11:00 a.m., New York time, with the Paying Agent or
depositary an amount equal to the purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment
by the Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.10. Upon surrender and cancellation of a Global Note that is purchased in part pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, the Trustee shall make an endorsement thereon to reduce the principal
amount of such Global Note to an amount equal to the unpurchased portion of such Global Note. The Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of
the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuers for purchase, and the Issuers shall promptly issue a new Note (in each case, accompanied by a notation of the Guarantees duly endorsed by the Subsidiary Guarantors), and the Trustee, upon
written request from the Issuers 

  
 38 









 
shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly
mailed or delivered by the Issuers to the Holder thereof. The Issuers shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.

Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation
agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; 
 (B) any securities,

the invoice creating such accounts receivable. 
 (b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale
(or within 90 days after such 360-day period in the event the Company enters into a binding commitment with respect to such application), the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds at its option: 

(i) to repay senior Indebtedness of the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries under the Credit Facilities;

 (ii) to satisfy all mandatory repayment obligations under the Credit Facilities arising by reason of such
Asset Sale; 

  
 42 









 (iii) to make a capital expenditure in a Permitted Business; 

(iv) to acquire other tangible assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or 

(v) to acquire all or substantially all of the properties or assets of a Person engaged in a Permitted Business or Equity
Interests of a Person engaged in a Permitted Business so long as such Person or the Person to which such properties or assets are transferred is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary. 

Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit
borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. 
 (c) Any Net Proceeds
from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.07(b) above will constitute “Excess Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Issuers will make an Asset Sale
Offer to all Holders of Notes and, at the option of the Issuers, all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be
purchased out of the Excess Proceeds; provided that Notes tendered shall be given priority over any such other Indebtedness unless such other Indebtedness contains provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers
to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets in which case the Notes and such other Indebtedness will be purchased on a pro rata basis. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Purchase Date, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may use such Excess Proceeds for any
purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture, including, without limitation, the repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness of the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is subordinated to the Notes or, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor,
the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds allocated for repurchases of Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer for Notes, the
Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of notes in global form, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased based on the Depositary’s method that most nearly approximates a pro rata
selection). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (d) The Company
shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset
Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with Section 3.10 or this Section 4.07, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to
have breached its obligations under Section 3.10 or this Section 4.07 by virtue of such compliance. 
 Section 4.08.
Restricted Payments. 
 (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly
or indirectly: 
 (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the
Company’s or of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or
indirect holders of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than distributions or dividends payable in Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Equity) and
other than distributions or dividends payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary); 
 (ii) purchase,
redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the Company, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the General Partner or
any other equity holder of the Company (other than any such Equity Interests owned by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries); 
 (iii) make any principal payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Subordinated Indebtedness or Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness, except a
scheduled payment of principal within one month of its Stated Maturity; or 
 (iv) make any Investment other than
a Permitted Investment 

  
 43 









 (all such payments and other actions set forth in Sections 4.08(a)(i),(ii),(iii) and (iv) above being
collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, no Default (except a Reporting Failure) or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
would occur as a consequence thereof and either: 
 (A) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s
four most recent fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available is equal to or greater than 1.75 to 1.0, such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries during the quarter in which such Restricted Payment is made (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by Sections 4.08(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) (to the extent paid to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), (v), (vi), (vii),
(viii) or (ix)), is less than the sum, without duplication, of: 
  

	 	(1)	Available Cash from Operating Surplus with respect to the Company’s preceding fiscal quarter, plus 


 

	 	(2)	the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company (including the fair market value of any Permitted Business or long-term assets that are used or useful in a
Permitted Business to the extent acquired in consideration of Equity Interests (other than the Disqualified Equity) of the Company) after April 27, 2010 from (x) a contribution to the common equity capital of the Company from any Person
(other than a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) or (y) the issuance and sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity) of the Company or from the issuance or sale (other than
to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Equity or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Company that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Disqualified
Equity), plus 

  

	 	(3)	to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after April 27, 2010 is sold for cash or Cash Equivalents or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash or
Cash Equivalents, the return of capital or similar payment made in cash or Cash Equivalents with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of such disposition, if any), plus 


 

	 	(4)	the net reduction in Restricted Investments resulting from dividends, repayments of loans or advances, or other transfers of assets in each case to the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries from any Person (including, without limitation, Unrestricted Subsidiaries and joint ventures) or from redesignations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent such amounts have not been
included in Available Cash from Operating Surplus for any period commencing on or after April 27, 2010 (items (ii), (iii) and (iv) being referred to as “Incremental Funds”), minus 


 

	 	(5)	the aggregate amount of Incremental Funds previously expended pursuant to this clause (A) or clause (B) below or to make a Permitted Business Investment; or


 (B) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s four most recent fiscal quarters
for which internal financial statements are available is less than 1.75 to 1.0, such Restricted Payment (it being understood that the only Restricted Payments permitted to be made pursuant to this clause (B) are distributions on common units of
the Company, plus any related distribution on the general partner interest and any distributions with respect to incentive distribution rights), together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries during the quarter in which such Restricted Payment is made (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by Sections 4.08(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) (to the extent paid to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), (v), (vi), (vii),
(viii) or (ix)) is less than the sum, without duplication, of: 
  

	 	(1)	$250.0 million less the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (2)(a) during the
period beginning on April 27, 2010 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Company immediately preceding the date of such Restricted Payment, plus 


 

	 	(2)	Incremental Funds to the extent not previously expended pursuant to this clause (B) or clause (A) above. 


  
 44 









 (b) The preceding provisions will not prohibit: 

(i) the payment by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any distribution or dividend or the consummation of any
redemption of a Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to an irrevocable notice of redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution, or the giving of such irrevocable notice of redemption, if at said date of
declaration or the date of such notice of redemption, as applicable, such payment would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture; 
 (ii) the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness or any Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness or of any Equity Interests of the Company in
exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of, a substantially concurrent (a) capital contribution to the Company from any Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) or (b) sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company) of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity) of the Company, with a sale being substantially concurrent if such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value occurs not more than 120 days after
such sale; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value will be excluded or deducted from the calculation of Available Cash
from Operating Surplus and Incremental Funds and from Section 4.08(a)(A)(ii); 
 (iii) the purchase,
redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Indebtedness or Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of, or in exchange for, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

 (iv) the payment of any distribution or dividend by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to the holders
of its Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity) on a pro rata basis; 
 (v) so long as no Default (other
than a Reporting Failure) has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to
any management equity subscription agreement or equity option agreement or other employee benefit plan or to satisfy obligations under any Equity Interests appreciation rights or option plan or similar arrangement; provided that the aggregate
price paid for all such purchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests shall not exceed $6.0 million in any calendar year; 
 (vi) purchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options, warrants or other convertible securities if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of such
options, warrants or other convertible securities; 
 (vii) cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional
shares or units in connection with the exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible or exchangeable for Equity Interests that are not derivative securities; 

(viii) any purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions or retirements for value of Equity Interests made in lieu of
withholding taxes in connection with any exercise or exchange of warrants, options or rights to acquire Equity Interests; and 
 (ix) in connection with an acquisition by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, the return to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Equity Interests of the Company or its
Restricted Subsidiaries constituting a portion of the purchase consideration in settlement of indemnification claims. 
 In
computing the amount of Restricted Payments previously made for purposes of Section 4.08(a), Restricted Payments made under clauses (i) (but only if the declaration of such dividend or other distribution has not been


  
 45 









 
counted in a prior period) and (iv) (but in the case of clause (iv), only to the extent paid to a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) of this Section 4.08(b) shall
be included, and Restricted Payments made under clauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) of this Section 4.08(b) shall not be included. The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market
value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment, except that the fair market value of
any non-cash dividend or distribution made within 60 days after the date of declaration will be determined as of such date. The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 4.08 shall be
determined, in the case of amounts under $50.0 million, by an Officer of the General Partner and, in the case of amounts over $50.0 million, by the Board of Directors of the General Partner whose Board Resolution with respect thereto shall be
delivered to the Trustee. 
 Section 4.09. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Equity. 

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue,
assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company shall not issue any Disqualified
Equity and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Disqualified Equity; provided that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company and the Restricted
Subsidiaries may issue Disqualified Equity, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s 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 Equity is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, 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 Disqualified Equity had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period. 

(b) So long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would be caused thereby, Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit
the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 

(i) the incurrence by the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness (including guarantees thereof and letters
of credit) under Credit Facilities; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09(b)(i) and outstanding under all Credit Facilities
after giving effect to such incurrence does not exceed the greater of (a) $1.2 billion or (b) $875.0 million plus 20% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company; 

(ii) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness (other than under the Credit
Agreement); 
 (iii) the incurrence by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by
the Notes and the related Guarantees issued and sold in this offering on the Issue Date and the Exchange Notes and the related Guarantees issued pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement; 

(iv) the incurrence by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations,
mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company
or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease, discharge or refund any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this
Section 4.09(b)(iv) not to exceed the greater of (a) $50.0 million at any time outstanding or (b) 2.5% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company; 

(v) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange
for, or the net proceeds of which are used to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease, discharge or refund Indebtedness that was permitted by the Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(a) or 4.09(b)(ii) or (iii) or this
Section 4.09(b)(v); 

  
 46 









 (vi) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that: 
 (A) if the Company is the obligor on such Indebtedness and a Subsidiary Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all
Obligations with respect to the Notes, or if a Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and neither the Company nor another Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligee, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in
full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor; and 
 (B)
(i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness
to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted
by this Section 4.09(b)(vi); 
 (vii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Hedging Obligations; 
 (viii) the guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is being guaranteed is Subordinated Indebtedness or
Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness, then the guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantee, as the case may be; 
 (ix) the incurrence by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of additional Indebtedness or the issuance of Disqualified Equity in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the
greater of (a) $60.0 million at any time outstanding or (b) 3.0% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company; and 
 (x) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from Guarantees of Indebtedness of Joint Ventures at any time outstanding not to exceed the greater of $20.0
million or 1.0% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company. 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in Sections 4.09(b)(i) through (x), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to
Section 4.09(a), the Company will be permitted to classify (or later reclassify in whole or in part) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. An item of Indebtedness may be divided and classified in one
or more of the types of Permitted Indebtedness. Any outstanding Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities on the Issue Date shall be considered incurred under Section 4.09(b)(i) and may not be reclassified. 

(d) The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the
form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Equity in the form of additional shares or units of the same class of Disqualified Equity shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an
issuance of Disqualified Equity for purposes of this Section 4.09; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued. 

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness or Disqualified Equity that the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur or issue pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of the fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. 

Section 4.10. Liens. 
 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness upon any
asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens, without making effective provision whereby all Obligations due under the Notes and Indenture or any Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, will be secured by a Lien
equally and ratably with (or prior to in the case of Liens with respect to Subordinated Indebtedness or Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness, as the case may be) any and all Obligations thereby secured for so long as any such Obligations shall be so
secured. 

  
 47 









 Section 4.11. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist
or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 
 (i) pay
dividends or make any other distributions on its Equity Interests to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or pay any Indebtedness or other Obligations owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the
priority that any series of preferred securities of a Restricted Subsidiary has in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions before dividends or liquidating distributions are paid in respect of common securities of such Restricted Subsidiary
shall not constitute a restriction on the ability to make dividends or distributions on Equity Interests for purposes of this Section 4.11; 
 (ii) make loans or advances to or make other Investments in the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or 
 (iii) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (b) The restrictions contained in Section 4.11(a) shall not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 

(i) agreements as in effect on the Issue Date (including the Credit Agreement) and any amendments, modifications,
restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of any such agreements; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or
refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such distribution, dividend and other payment restrictions and loan or investment restrictions than those contained in such agreement, as in effect on the Issue Date;

 (ii) the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees; 

(iii) applicable law, rule, regulation, order, licenses, permits or similar governmental, judicial or regulatory
restriction; 
 (iv) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Equity Interests of a Person acquired by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not
applicable to any Person, or the property or assets of any Person, other than such Person, or the property or assets of such Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the
Indenture to be incurred; 
 (v) customary non-assignment provisions in Hydrocarbon or timber purchase and sale
or exchange agreements or similar operational agreements or in licenses and leases entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices; 

(vi) Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case for property acquired in
the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in Section 4.11(a)(iii); 
 (vii) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; 

(viii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing
such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced; 

(ix) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.10 that
limit the right of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to dispose of the assets subject to such Lien; 
 (x) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements customary


  
 48 









 
for transactions of that type that solely affect the assets or property that are the subject of such agreements; provided that, in the case of joint venture agreements, such provisions
solely affect assets or property of the joint venture; 
 (xi) any agreement or instrument relating to any
property or assets acquired after the Issue Date, so long as such encumbrance or restriction relates only to the property or assets so acquired and is not and was not created in anticipation of such acquisition; 

(xii) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or lessors under contracts or leases
entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (xiii) Hedging Obligations incurred from time to time; and

 (xiv) other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries permitted to be Incurred
pursuant to an agreement entered into subsequent to the Issue Date in accordance with Section 4.09; provided that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in such Indebtedness are not materially less favorable
to the Company taken as a whole, as determined by the Board of Directors of the General Partner in good faith, than the provisions contained in the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date. 

Section 4.12. Transactions With Affiliates. 
 (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, 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, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee, with any Affiliate (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary
than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and 
 (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee: 
 (A) with respect to any
Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration more than $25.0 million but no more than $50.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this

(B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
consideration in excess of $50.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the General Partner set forth in an officers’ certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.12 and that such
Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner. 
 (b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.12(a): 

(i) any employment, equity award, equity option or equity appreciation agreement or plan or similar arrangement entered
into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; 
 (ii)
transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (iii) Restricted Payments that
are permitted by Section 4.08 and Permitted Investments; 
 (iv) transactions described in or filed as an

 49 









 (v) customary compensation, indemnification and other benefits made
available to officers, directors or employees of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, including reimbursement or advancement of out-of-pocket expenses and provisions of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance;

contracts entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with third parties, or if neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has entered into a similar contract with a third party, on terms that are no less favorable than those
available from third parties on an arm’s-length basis; 
 (vii) the issuance or sale for cash of Equity
Interests (other than Disqualified Equity) to an Affiliate; 
 (viii) any transaction in which the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee an opinion from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
from a financial point of view or that such transaction meets the requirements of Section 4.12(a)(i); 

(ix) guarantees of performance by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company’s Unrestricted
Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, except for guarantees of Indebtedness in respect of borrowed money; 
 (x) if such Affiliate Transaction is with a Person in its capacity as a holder of Indebtedness or Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary where such Person is treated no more
favorably than the holders of Indebtedness or Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary who are unaffiliated with the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(xi) transactions effected pursuant to agreements in effect on the Issue Date and any amendment, modification or
replacement of such agreement (so long as such amendment, modification or replacement is not in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the General Partner materially more disadvantageous to the holders of Notes, taken as a whole,
than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date); 
 (xii) transactions between the Company and any
Person, a director of which is also a director of the Company; provided that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company on any matter involving such other Person;

 Section 4.13. Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. 

If, after the Issue Date, any Restricted Subsidiary that is not already a Subsidiary Guarantor guarantees any other Indebtedness of
either of the Issuers or any Indebtedness of the Holding Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, then, in each such case, such Subsidiary must become a Subsidiary Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture substantially in the form provided
in the Indenture and delivering it to the Trustee within 20 Business Days of the date on which such other guarantee was executed; provided that the preceding shall not apply to Subsidiaries of the Company that have properly been designated as
Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the Indenture for so long as they continue to constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the preceding, any Guarantee of a Restricted Subsidiary that was incurred pursuant to this
Section 4.13 shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released upon the release or discharge of the guarantee which resulted in the creation of such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee, except a discharge
or release by, or as a result of payment under, such guarantee and except if, at such time, such Restricted Subsidiary is then a guarantor under any other Indebtedness of the Issuers or another Subsidiary.

 Section 4.14. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Board of Directors of the General Partner may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that
designation would not cause a Default or Event of Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated will
be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.08(a), or represent Permitted Investments, as applicable. All such outstanding Investments will
be valued at their fair market value at the time of such designation. That designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments would be permitted under the Indenture at that time and such Restricted Subsidiary
otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. All Subsidiaries of an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall also be Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Upon the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, the Guarantee of such entity shall be automatically released. 
 (b) The Board of Directors of the General Partner
may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness
of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter
reference period, and Section 4.10 and (2) no Default or Event of Default (other than a Reporting Failure) would be in existence following such designation. 
 After covenants are terminated pursuant to Section 4.20, the Company will not be permitted to designate or redesignate any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 4.14. 

Section 4.15. Business Activities. 
 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses. 

Finance Co shall not hold any material assets, become liable for any material obligations, engage in any trade or business, or conduct
any business activity, other than the issuance of capital stock to the Company, the incurrence of Indebtedness as a co-issuer, co-obligor or guarantor of Indebtedness incurred by the Company (including, without limitation, the Notes) that is
permitted to be incurred by the Company under Section 4.09, and activities incidental thereto. 
 Section 4.16. [Intentionally
Omitted]. 
 Section 4.17. Payments for Consent. 
 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of Notes for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time
frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 
 Section 4.18. Reports. 

(a) Regardless of whether required by the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will file with the SEC for public
availability (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and, unless already publicly available through the SEC’s EDGAR filing system, the Company (x) will
furnish (without exhibits) to the Trustee for delivery to the Holders of the Notes and (y) post on its website or otherwise make available to prospective purchasers of the Notes: 

(i) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on
Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such forms, including a “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the
annual financial statements by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; and 
 (ii) all
current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports (provided that, so long as the Company is not required to file with the SEC the reports referred to in this
paragraph, the time period for filing reports on Form 8-K shall be 10 Business Days after the event giving rise to the obligation to file such report). 

  
 51 









 Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and
the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuers’ compliance with any of their respective covenants
hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 (b) If, as of the end of
any such quarterly or annual period, the Company has Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors, then the Company shall include in such reports, in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, either on the face of the financial statements or
in the footnotes thereto, the financial information of the Company and its Subsidiary Guarantors separate from the financial information of the non-Guarantor Subsidiaries of the Company. 

(c) The Company agrees that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time it is not required to file with the SEC the
reports required by the foregoing provisions of Section 4.18, it will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under
the Securities Act. 
 Section 4.19. [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 Section 4.20. Termination of Covenants. 
 If at any time the Notes
achieve an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing under the Indenture, then upon the Issuers’ giving notice to the Trustee of such event, the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the following provisions of the Indenture (the “Terminated Covenants”): Section 4.07, Section 4.08, Section 4.09, Section 4.11, Section 4.14,
Section 4.15, Section 4.13, Section 5.01(a)(iv) and Section 4.12. After the foregoing covenants have been terminated, the Company may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the definition
of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” 
 ARTICLE 5 

SUCCESSORS 

Section 5.01. Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets. 
 (a) Neither of the Issuers may, directly or indirectly: (x) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not such Issuer is the survivor); or (y) 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 another Person, unless: 
 (i) either: (A) such Issuer is the surviving entity of such transaction; or (B) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or to which such
sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, provided that Finance Co may not
consolidate or merge with or into any entity other than a corporation satisfying such requirement; 
 (ii) the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made expressly assumes all the Obligations of
such Issuer under the Notes, the Indenture and any applicable Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 (iii) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists; 
 (iv) in the case of a transaction involving the Company and not Finance Co, the Company, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to
which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made will, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the
beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, (A) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in 

  
 52 









 
Section 4.09(a) or (B) have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for such four-quarter period equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio immediately before such transaction;
provided that this Section 5.01(a)(iv) shall be terminated after the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Terminated Covenants; and 

(v) such Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
such consolidation, merger or disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required, such supplemental indenture comply with the Indenture and all conditions precedent therein relating to such transaction have been satisfied. 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.01(a), the Company may reorganize as any other form of entity in accordance with the procedures
established in the Indenture; provided that: 
 (i) the reorganization involves the conversion (by merger,
sale, contribution or exchange of assets or otherwise) of the Company into a form of entity other than a limited partnership formed under Delaware law; 
 (ii) the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; 

(iii) the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization assumes all of the Obligations of the Company under
the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 (iv) immediately
after such reorganization no Default or Event of Default exists; and 
 (v) such reorganization is not adverse to
the Holders of the Notes (for purposes of this Section 5.01(b)(v) it is stipulated that such reorganization shall not be considered adverse to the Holders of the Notes solely because the successor or survivor of such reorganization (A) is
subject to federal or state income taxation as an entity or (B) is considered to be an “includible corporation” of an affiliated group of corporations within the meaning of Section 1504(b)(i) of the Code or any similar state or
local law). 
 (c) No Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor
is the surviving Person) another Person, except the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, unless: (i) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists, and (ii) either the Person formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Annex A hereto, or the transaction results in a release of such Guarantee as
described in Section 10.05 hereof. Subject to the foregoing exception, in case of any such consolidation or merger and upon the assumption by the successor Person by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee substantially in
the form of Annex A hereto, of the Guarantees contained herein and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants of the Indenture to be performed by the Subsidiary Guarantor, such successor shall succeed to and be substituted for the
Subsidiary Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Subsidiary Guarantor. Such successor thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the notations of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder
which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee. All the Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued
in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.01 to the contrary, in the event the Company becomes a corporation or the Company or the Person that succeeds to the Company in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture is a corporation, Finance Co may be dissolved in accordance with the Indenture and may cease to be an Issuer. 

Section 5.02. Successor Entity Substituted. 
 (a) Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of an Issuer in accordance with
Section 5.01 hereof in which such Issuer is not the surviving entity, the surviving Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which such Issuer is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, 

  
 53 









 
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of the Indenture referring to the “Company” or “Finance Co,” as the case may be, shall refer
instead to the surviving entity and not to the Company or Finance Co, as the case may be), and may exercise every right and power of such Issuer under the Indenture with the same effect as if such surviving Person had been named as an Issuer herein,
and thereafter (except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of such Issuer’s properties or assets), such Issuer shall be discharged and released from all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the Notes. 

(b) If the surviving entity shall have succeeded to and been substituted for an Issuer, such surviving entity may cause to be signed, and
may issue either in its own name or in the name of the applicable Issuer prior to such succession any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by such Issuer and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the
order of such surviving entity, instead of such Issuer, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in the Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Notes which previously shall have been signed and
delivered by the Officers of such Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes which such surviving entity thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose (in each instance with notations of Guarantees
thereon by the Subsidiary Guarantors). All of the Notes so issued and so endorsed shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued and endorsed in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture and the Guarantees as though all such Notes had been issued and endorsed at the date of the execution hereof. 

(c) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, such changes in
phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued or the Guarantees to be endorsed thereon as may be appropriate. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.01. Events of Default. 
 Each of the following is an “Event of Default”: 
 (a) default for
30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes, or Liquidated Damages, if any; 
 (b) default in payment when due of
the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes; 
 (c) failure by the Company to comply (for 30 days in the case of a failure
to comply that is capable of cure) with the provisions described under Section 4.06, 4.07 or 5.01 hereof; 
 (d) failure by
the Company to comply with any of its other agreements in the Indenture for 60 days (or 180 days in the case of a Reporting Failure) after notice to the Issuers by the Trustee or to the Issuers and Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; 
 (e) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may
be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether
such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the Issue Date, if that default: 
 (i) is caused
by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”), or 

(ii) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, 

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has
been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $20.0 million or more; provided, that so long as the outstanding Notes have not been accelerated, if within a period of 60 days from the continuation of such
default under such other Indebtedness beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration of such other Indebtedness, as the case may be, any such default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such other
Indebtedness is repaid (other than as a result of any such acceleration), such Event of Default shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree; 

  
 54 









 (f) failure by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final
judgments aggregating in excess of $20.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; 

(g) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Guarantee by any Subsidiary Guarantor other than an Immaterial Subsidiary shall be held in
any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in force and effect or any such Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any such Subsidiary Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its Obligations
under its Guarantee; and 
 (h) either Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or
any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of 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 all or substantially all of its property, 
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 
 (v) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; and 

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

(vii) is for relief against an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any
group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 
 (viii) appoints a custodian of an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken as a whole, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken as a
whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or 
 (ix) orders the liquidation of an Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; 
 and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days. 

Section 6.02. Acceleration. 
 If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, and upon written request of the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes shall declare the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) hereof occurs with respect to an Issuer, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all
existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 
 Section 6.03. Other Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or the Indenture. 

  
 55 









 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does
not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence
in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.

 Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of
the Holders of all of the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest or Liquidated Damages on, the Notes
(including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment
default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.05. Control by Majority. 

Subject to Section 7.02(f) hereof, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture
or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 
 A Holder of a Note may pursue a
remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes only if: 
 (a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee
written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 
 (b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
of the then-outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) such Holder of a
Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if
requested, the provision of indemnity; and 
 (e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 
 A Holder of
a Note may not use the Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or
not such use prejudices the rights of another Holder of a Note or obtains a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note). 

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in
the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), 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 is authorized to recover a judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against
the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses
of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

  
 56 









 Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to an Issuer or
any of the Subsidiary Guarantors (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and
any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the
same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of
reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10. Priorities. 
 If the Trustee collects any money pursuant
to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee, its agents
and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium and interest, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: to the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors or to such other party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10. 

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. 
 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the
filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses against any party litigant in the suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by
Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes. 
 ARTICLE 7 

TRUSTEE 

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

  
 57 









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

(i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Indenture and the Trustee need
perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in the Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee; 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 the Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of the Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this
paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall
not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance
with a direction received by it pursuant to any provision of the Indenture relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding or remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under the
Indenture. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture that in any way relates to the
Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01. 
 (e) No provision of the Indenture shall
require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under the Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder
shall have offered and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any claim, loss, liability or expense. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company or Finance Co. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Section 7.02. Rights of Trustee. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01(a) hereof, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statement or the
correctness of such opinion. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting in the administration of the Indenture, it
may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may
consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
and in reliance thereon. 
 (c) The Trustee may execute any of its trusts or powers or perform any duties under the Indenture
either directly by or through agents or attorneys, and may in all cases pay, subject to reimbursement as provided herein, such reasonable compensation as it deems proper to all such agents and attorneys employed or retained by it, and the Trustee
shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee
shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by the Indenture. 

  
 58 









 (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Indenture, any demand, request, direction
or notice from an Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company or the General Partner (in the case of the Company), by an Officer of the General Partner (in the case of the General Partner) or by an
Officer of Finance Co or any Subsidiary Guarantor (in the case of Finance Co or such Subsidiary Guarantor). 
 (f) The Trustee
shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to it against the claims, costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (g) The Trustee is not required to make any inquiry or investigation into facts or matters stated in any document but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into
such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee determines to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuers, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost
of the Issuers and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 

(h) The Trustee is not required to take notice or shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default hereunder except
Defaults or Events of Default under Sections 6.01(a) and 6.01(b) hereof, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or has received notice in writing at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee of such Default or Event
of Default from the Issuers or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (and such notice references the Notes and the Indenture), and in the absence of any such notice, the Trustee may conclusively
assume that no such Default or Event of Default exists. 
 (i) The Trustee is not required to give any bond or surety with
respect to the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers under the Indenture. 
 (j) Under no circumstances shall
the Trustee be liable in its individual capacity for the obligations evidenced by the Notes. 
 (k) In the event the Trustee
receives inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing less than the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding required to take any action hereunder, the Trustee, in its sole
discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken. 
 (l) The Trustee’s immunities and protections from
liability and its right to indemnification in connection with the performance of its duties under the Indenture shall extend to the Trustee’s officers, directors, agents, attorneys and employees. Such immunities and protections and right to
indemnification, together with the Trustee’s right to compensation, shall survive the Trustee’s resignation of removal, the discharge of the Indenture and final payments of the Notes. 

(m) The permissive right of the Trustee to take actions permitted by the Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation or duty to do
so. 
 (n) Except for information provided by the Trustee concerning the Trustee, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for
any information in any offering memorandum, disclosure material or prospectus distributed with respect to the Notes. 
 (o) 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 aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding 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 the Indenture. 
 (p)
Subject to Section 7.01(d), whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct of, or affecting the liability of, or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of
this Section 7.02. 
 (q) Any action taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Trustee in good faith, pursuant to the 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 all future Holders of that Note and upon securities
executed and delivered in exchange therefore or in place thereof. 

  
 59 









 (r) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive
or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

(s) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder
arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its 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 and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts that are consistent with accepted practices in the banking
industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 
 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

 The Trustee in its commercial banking or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal
with the Issuers, any Subsidiary Guarantors or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Affiliate of the Trustee or Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. However, in the event that the
Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue (if the Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) as trustee or resign. The Trustee is also subject to Sections
7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 
 Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of the Indenture, the Notes or the
Guarantees, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to an Issuer or upon an Issuer’s direction under any provision of the Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or
application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or
pursuant to the Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default known to the Trustee occurs, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event
of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal, interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the board
of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 
 Within 60 days after each April 15 beginning with the April 15 following the date of the Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the
Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).
The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA
Section 313(d). The Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 
 Section 7.07.
Compensation and Indemnity. 
 The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing between the Issuers and the Trustee for its acceptance of the Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

  
 60 









 The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall indemnify each of the Trustee or any
successor Trustee against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under
the Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing the Indenture against either of the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by an Issuer, any
Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its gross
negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors of their obligations
hereunder. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of such separate counsel; provided that the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if they assume the Trustee’s defense with counsel acceptable to and approved by the Trustee
(such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and there is no conflict of interest between the Issuers and the Trustee in connection with such defense. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors need not pay for any settlement made without their
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Neither the Issuers nor the Subsidiary Guarantors need reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnity against any liability or loss of the Trustee to the extent such expense, liability
or loss is attributable to the gross negligence or bad faith of the Trustee. 
 The obligations of the Issuers and the
Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the replacement of the Trustee. 
 To secure the Issuers’ and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien (which it may exercise through right of set-off) prior to the Notes on
all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. When the Trustee incurs
expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA
Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 
 Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of Notes of a majority in principal amount
of the then-outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuers in writing. The Issuers may remove the Trustee if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; 
 (b) the Trustee
is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 

(c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee
takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuers. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the
Issuers, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Holders of Notes of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  
 61 









 If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder of a Note who has been a Holder of a
Note for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder of a Note may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. 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 the Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders
of the Notes. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuers’ and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall
be the successor Trustee. As soon as practicable, the successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Issuers and the Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. 
 There shall at all
times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, that is subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

The Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is
subject to TIA Section 310(b), provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(l) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in
other securities of the Issuers are outstanding if the requirements of such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(l) are met. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of
Section 310(b)(9) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable. 
 Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Issuers. 
 The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA
Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding
Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 If the Issuers exercise either their Legal
Defeasance or their Covenant Defeasance option, upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent to such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance each Subsidiary Guarantor will be released and relieved from any obligation under its Subsidiary Guarantee
and any security for the Notes (other than the trust) will be released. 
 Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuers and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their respective Obligations and certain other obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes
and Guarantees, as applicable, on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to
have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of the


  
 62 









 
Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this sentence below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and the Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of
and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding
Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, or interest, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, such Notes when such
payments are due, (b) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 2.10 and 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Issuers’ and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuers may exercise the option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuers and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.10, 4.04, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12,
4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.17, 4.18 and 5.01(a)(iv) hereof and any covenant added to the Indenture subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below
are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of
any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes to the extent
permitted by GAAP). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuers may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall
not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of the Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuers’ exercise under
Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c) through 6.01(g) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

 Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes: 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 

(a) the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States
dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest, premium or Liquidated
Damages, if any, on, the outstanding Notes at the Stated Maturity thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuers must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to Stated Maturity or to a particular redemption
date; 
 (b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuers shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the Issue Date, there has been a
change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of 

  
 63 









 
such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not
occurred; 
 (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either (i) on the date
of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which shall be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness),
and the granting of Liens to secure such Indebtedness) or (ii) insofar as Section 6.01(h) hereof is concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; 

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (f) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Notes over any other creditors of the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or
defrauding other creditors of the Issuers; and 
 (g) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

Section 8.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust, Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to Section 11.03 hereof, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Notes and the Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including either Issuer acting as a Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due
and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the
request of the Issuers any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06. [Intentionally omitted]. 
 Section 8.07. Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is
unable to apply any United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuers’ and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations under the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, as applicable, shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as
the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on 

  
 64 









 
any Note following the reinstatement of its Obligations, the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the
money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
 Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes. 
 Notwithstanding
Section 9.02 of the Indenture, the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Guarantees, or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note: 

(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 

(b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of Definitive Notes; 

(c) to provide for the assumption of an Issuer’s or a Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations to the Holders of the
Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of such Issuer’s properties or assets or to provide for the reorganization of the Company as any other form of entity, pursuant to Section 5.01(b) hereof;

 (d) to add or evidence the release of Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the terms of the Indenture;

 (e) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or
surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors by the Indenture that does not adversely affect the rights hereunder of any Holder of the Notes, 

(f) to provide for the issuance of additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture;

 (g) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture
under the TIA; 
 (h) to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor
Trustee; 
 (i) to add any additional Events of Default; 

(j) to secure the Notes and/or the related Guarantees; 

(k) to comply with the rules of any applicable Depositary; or 

(l) to conform the text of the Indenture or the Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of notes”
section in the Offering Memorandum to the extent such text of the Indenture or Guarantee was intended to reflect such provision of the “Description of notes” section in the Offering Memorandum. 

Upon the request of the Issuers, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06 hereof, the Trustee
shall join with the Issuers and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of the Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that
may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise. 

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes. 
 Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture (including Sections 3.10, 4.06 and 4.07 hereof), the
Guarantees, and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer
for, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any past Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with
respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders
must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

  
 65 









 (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or
alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of the Notes, except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.10, 4.06 and 4.07 hereof;

(d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest, premium or Liquidated Damages, if

(e) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in such Note; 

(f) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of
Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, the Notes (other than as permitted by Section 9.02(g) below); 

(g) waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by the covenants
contained in Sections 3.10, 4.06 and 4.07 hereof); 
 (h) except as otherwise permitted by the Indenture, release
any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its Obligations under its Guarantee or the Indenture, or change any Guarantee in any manner that would adversely affect the right of Holders; 

(i) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 hereof or in the foregoing amendment, supplement and waiver provisions
(except to increase any percentage set forth therein); or 
 (j) modify or change any provision of the Indenture
or the related definitions affecting the ranking of the Notes or any related Guarantee in a manner that adversely affects the Holders of the Notes. 
 Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the General Partner (in the case of the Company) and of the Boards of Directors of Finance Co and each of the
Subsidiary Guarantors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the
Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects
the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an
amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or
any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. 

Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 
 Every amendment or supplement to the Indenture, the Guarantees, or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 

Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
 Whenever in the Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of
any direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action the 

  
 66 









 
Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or
proxy appointed in writing, (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with procedures approved by the Trustee, (c) by a combination of such instrument or
instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders or (d) in the case of Notes evidenced by a Global Note, by any electronic transmission or other message, whether or not in written format, that complies with the Depositary’s
applicable procedures. 
 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a
continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such
Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver
becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated
to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who
were Holders at the close of business on such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such
Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date except to the extent that the requisite number of consents to the amendment, supplement or waiver have been
obtained within such 90-day period or as set forth in the next paragraph of this Section 9.04. 
 After an amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (a) through (j) of Section 9.02, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder
of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same indebtedness as the consenting Holder’s Note. 
 Section 9.05. Notation or Exchange of Notes. 
 The Trustee may place
an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes (accompanied by a notation of the Guarantees duly
endorsed by the Subsidiary Guarantors) that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. 
 The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of
the Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon in good faith, an Officers’ Certificate of the Company and an Opinion of Counsel stating that
the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by the Indenture. 
 The Prior Co-Issuer may,
not need not, sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9, and its failure to sign any such amended or supplemental indenture shall not affect the validity thereof. 

Section 9.07. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 
 Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article 9, the Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all
purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

 ARTICLE 10 
 GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01. Guarantees. 

Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees
to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the other Obligations of the Issuers hereunder or
thereunder, that the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at the maturity or interest payment or mandatory redemption date, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the
overdue principal of, premium and interest on the Notes, if any, to the extent lawful and all other Obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee under the Indenture and the Notes shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture and the Notes. Failing payment when so due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. The
Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of
any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions of the Indenture and the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstance (other than complete performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants
that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture. 
 If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers or Subsidiary Guarantors, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to
either the Issuers or Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, these Guarantees, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it
shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Obligations guaranteed hereby. 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on
the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of these Guarantees, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become
due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of these Guarantees. The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the
rights of the Holders under these Guarantees. 
 Section 10.02. Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability. 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor and, by its acceptance hereof, each Holder hereby confirms that it is its intention that the Guarantee by such
Subsidiary Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to
the Guarantees. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each such Person hereby irrevocably agrees that the Obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee under this Article 10 shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after
giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any rights to contribution of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to
any agreement providing for an equitable contribution among such Subsidiary Guarantor and other Affiliates of the Issuers of payments made by guarantees by such parties, result in the Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of such
maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent conveyance. Each Holder, by accepting the benefits hereof, confirms its intention that, in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding of either of the Issuers or any Subsidiary
Guarantor in which concurrent claims are made upon such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, to the extent such claims shall not be fully satisfied, each such claimant with a valid claim against such Issuer shall be entitled to a ratable share of all
payments by such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of such concurrent claims. 

  
 68 









 Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery of Notations of Guarantees. 

To evidence the Guarantees set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of the
Guarantees substantially in the form of the last page of Exhibit A shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that the Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by one of its
Officers. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guarantees set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full
force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of the Guarantees. If an Officer whose signature is on the Indenture or on the notation of Guarantees no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates
the Note on which the notation of the Guarantees is endorsed, the Guarantees shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any
Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantees set forth in the Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors. 
 Section 10.04. [Intentionally omitted]. 
 Section 10.05. Releases.

 Concurrently with any sale of properties or assets (including, if applicable, all of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary
Guarantor), any Liens in favor of the Trustee in the properties or assets sold thereby shall be released; provided that in the event of an Asset Sale, the Net Proceeds from such sale or other disposition are treated in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.07 hereof. The Guarantee and all other obligations under the Indenture of a Subsidiary Guarantor will be released: (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties
or assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, if that sale or other disposition does not
violate Section 4.07 hereof; (ii) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Equity Interests of a Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary, if that sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.07 hereof and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of the sale or other disposition; (iii) in connection with the release or
discharge of the Guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.13 hereof or a release or discharge of all guarantees by such Subsidiary Guarantor of other Indebtedness, except a release or discharge by or as a
result of payment under such Guarantee; (iv) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the Indenture; (v) at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor
ceases to guarantee any other Indebtedness of the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company; or (vi) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Article 8 hereof or upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to
Article 11 hereof. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including without
limitation Section 4.07 hereof or such Guarantee is to be released pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Subsidiary
Guarantor from all of its obligations under its Guarantee and the Indenture. Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the
other obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in this Article 10. 
 Section 10.06. “Trustee”
to Include Paying Agent. 
 In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the
Issuers and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 10 shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully
and for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article 10 in place of the Trustee. 

  
 69 









 ARTICLE 11 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge.

 The Indenture shall upon the request of the Issuers cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of
registration of transfer or exchange of Notes herein expressly provided for, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 hereof, the Issuers’ rights of optional redemption under Article 3 hereof, and the Trustee’s and the Paying
Agent’s obligations under Section 11.02 and 11.03 hereof) and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture when: 

(a) either 
 (i) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (A) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 and
(B) Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust with the Trustee or any Paying Agent and thereafter paid to the Issuers or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(ii) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 

(A) have become due and payable; or 

(B) shall become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year by reason of the mailing of a notice of
redemption or otherwise, or 
 (C) 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 Issuers, and either Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, in the case of clause (A), (B) or (C) above, has irrevocably
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and U.S. Government Obligations, in amounts as
will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and accrued
interest to the date of fixed maturity or redemption; 
 (b) in the case of Section 11.01(a)(ii) hereof, no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or
instrument (other than the Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

 (c) the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor have paid or caused to be paid all sums then due and payable hereunder by the
Issuers; 
 (d) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the
payment of the Notes at fixed maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be; and 
 (e) the Issuers have delivered to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been satisfied. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the Issuers’ obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 2.11,
7.07, 7.08, 11.02, 11.03 and 11.04, and the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations in Section 11.03 shall survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the Issuers’ obligations in Sections 7.07 and 11.03
shall survive. 
 In order to have money available on a payment date to pay principal (and premium, if any, on) or interest on
the Notes, the U.S. Government Obligations shall be payable as to principal (and premium, if any) or interest at least one Business Day before such payment date in such amounts as shall provide the necessary money. The U.S. Government Obligations
shall not be callable at the issuer’s option. 

  
 70 









 Section 11.02. Application of Trust. 

All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and, at the written direction of the Issuers,
be invested prior to maturity in U.S. Government Obligations, and applied by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and the Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to
the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for the payment of which money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 Section 11.03. Repayment of the Issuers. 
 The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuers upon written request any excess money or securities held by them at any time. 

Subject to applicable escheat laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall notify the Issuers of, and pay to the Issuers upon written
request, any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due; provided that the Issuers shall have either caused notice of such
payment to be mailed to each Holder of the Notes entitled thereto no less than 30 days prior to such repayment or within such period shall have published such notice in a financial newspaper of widespread circulation published in The City of New
York, including, without limitation, The Wall Street Journal (national edition). After payment to the Issuers, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law
designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease. In the absence of a written request from the Issuers to return unclaimed funds to the Issuers, the Trustee shall from time to
time deliver all unclaimed funds to or as directed by applicable escheat authorities, as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the customary practices and procedures of the Trustee. 

Section 11.04. Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.01 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 Issuers’ and Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations under the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, as applicable, shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit has occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.02, provided,
however, that if the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors have made any payment of interest or premium, if any, on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of their Obligations, the Issuers or such Subsidiary Guarantors shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 12.04. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. 
 Upon any request or application by the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under the Indenture, the Issuers or such Subsidiary Guarantors shall furnish to the Trustee:

 72 









 (b) an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary
that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more
such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the General Partner, an Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.
Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, and may state that it is so based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Officer or Officers of the General Partner, an Issuer
or such Subsidiary Guarantor stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in possession of the General Partner, an Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate of opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person is
required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under the Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

 (a) a statement that the person 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 such certificate or opinion are based; 
 (c) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such
covenant or condition has been satisfied; and

 Neither the General Partner nor any past, present or future
director, officer, partner, member, trustee, employee, incorporator, manager or unitholder or other owner of Equity Interests of the Issuers, the General Partner or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any Obligations of
the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such Obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

 73 









 Section 12.09. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. 

The Indenture may not be used to interpret any other indenture, loan or debt agreement of either of the Issuers or any Subsidiary of the
Company or of any other Person. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret the Indenture or the Guarantees. 

Section 12.10. Successors. 
 All agreements of the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall bind their respective successors. All agreements of the Trustee in the Indenture shall bind

transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. 
 Section 12.13. Table of Contents,

 [Back of Note] 
 6.500% Senior Note due 2021 
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 1. Interest. PVR Partners,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), and Penn Virginia Resource Finance Corporation II, a Delaware corporation (“Finance Co” and, together with the Company, the “Issuers”), jointly
and severally promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.5% per annum. The Issuers will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on
the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from May 9, 2013; provided
that the first Interest Payment Date shall be November 15, 2013. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand
at the rate then in effect; the Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, without regard to any applicable grace periods, from time to time on demand
at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 2. Method of Payment. The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 1 or
November 1 next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to
principal, premium and interest at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their
addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, interest and premium on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of
which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts. 
 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as
Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

4. Indenture. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of April 27, 2010, as amended and supplemented by that
Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 9, 2013 (such Indenture, as so amended and supplemented, being called the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, Penn Virginia Resource Finance Corporation, the Subsidiary Guarantors and
the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms,
and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling to
the extent permitted by law. The Notes are unsecured general obligations of the Issuers. 
 The Issuers shall be entitled,
subject to its compliance with Section 4.09 of the Indenture, to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Indenture. The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Exchange Notes and Additional Notes will be treated as a
single class for all purposes under the Indenture. 

  
 A-4









 5. Optional Redemption. Subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in
the Indenture: 
 (a) On and after May 15, 2016, the Issuers shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in
whole or, from time to time, a part of the Notes upon prior notice as provided in Section 8 below, mailed to the registered address of each Holder of Notes to be so redeemed, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal
amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the
twelve-month period beginning on May 15 of the years indicated below: 
  

					
	 YEAR
	  	PERCENTAGE	 
	 2016
	  	 	104.875	% 
	 2017
	  	 	103.250	% 
	 2018
	  	 	101.625	% 
	 2019 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (b) Before May 15, 2016, the Issuers may redeem all or, from time to time, a part of
the Notes upon prior notice as provided in Section 8 below, at a redemption price equal to: 
 (i) 100% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest
Payment Date), plus 
 (ii) the Make Whole Amount. 

“Make Whole Amount” means, with respect to any note at any redemption date, the excess, if any, of (1) an amount
equal to the present value of (a) the redemption price of such note at May 15, 2016 plus (b) the remaining scheduled interest payments on the Notes to be redeemed (subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date) to May 15, 2016 (other than interest accrued to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (2) the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes to be redeemed. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, at the time of computation, the yield to maturity
of United States Treasury Securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) which has become publicly available at least two business days prior to the redemption date or,
if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to May 15, 2016; provided that if such period is not equal to the constant
maturity of a United States Treasury Security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States
Treasury Securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the redemption date to May 15, 2016 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actively traded United States Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant
maturity of one year shall be used. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Issuers on the second Business Day preceding the redemption date, and prior to such redemption date, the Issuers shall file with the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate setting forth the Make Whole Amount and the Treasury Rate and showing the calculation in reasonable detail. Any weekly average yields calculated by interpolation will be rounded to the nearest 1/100th of 1%, with any figure of 1/200th of
1% or above being rounded upward. 
 (c) The Company may also redeem the Notes following a Change of Control at
the time and the redemption price, and subject to the conditions set forth in, Section 4.06(h) of the Indenture. 
 (d) Before May 15, 2016, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions, upon prior notice as provided in Section 8 below, redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of
Notes (including any Additional Notes) issued under the Indenture with an amount of cash not greater than the Net Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.500% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the redemption date); provided
that 
 (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture remains
outstanding after each such redemption; and 
 (ii) any redemption occurs within 120 days after the closing of
such Equity Offering (without regard to any over-allotment option). 
 6. Mandatory Redemption. The Issuers shall not be
required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

  
 A-5









 7. Repurchase at Option of Holder. Subject to the additional terms and conditions set
forth in the Indenture: 
 (a) If there is a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right (except as provided in
Section 4.06(f) of the Indenture) to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 above such amount thereof) of such Holder’s Notes (the “Change of Control Offer”) at
a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall mail a notice to
each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture and information regarding such other matters as is required under Section 4.06 of the Indenture. The Holder of this Note may elect to
have this Note or a portion hereof in an authorized denomination purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below and tendering this Note pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. 

(b) If the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company consummates an Asset Sale, in certain circumstances specified in
Section 4.07 of the Indenture the Issuers shall commence a pro rata offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu in right of payment with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set
forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an “Asset Sale Offer”) pursuant to Section 3.10 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and
such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to the date of
purchase in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds allocated for repurchase of Notes, the Trustee shall select the
Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an Asset Sale Offer will receive an offer to purchase from the Issuers prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing
the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes. 
 8. Notice of Redemption.
Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior
to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a Legal Defeasance under Section 8.02 of the Indenture or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture in accordance with Article 11 thereof. Notes in denominations larger than
$2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption unless
the Issuers default in making such redemption payment. 
 9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above such amount thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register
the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the portion of any Note being redeemed in part that is not being redeemed. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15
days before the mailing of a notice of redemption or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 
 10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 11. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then-outstanding Notes. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in
addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of an Issuer’s or a Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of such
Issuer’s assets, to add or release Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or surrender any right or power conferred upon
the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors by the Indenture that does not adversely affect the 

  
 A-6









 
rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to provide for the issuance of additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, to comply with the requirements of
the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee, to add additional Events of Default or to
secure the Notes and/or the Guarantees. 
 12. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include in summary form:
(i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes; (iii) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to
comply (for 30 days in the case of a failure to comply that is capable of cure) with Sections 4.06, 4.07 or 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company to comply with any of its other agreements in the Indenture for 60 days (or 180 days
in the case of a Reporting Failure) after notice to the Issuers by the Trustee or to the Issuers and Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; (v) default under any mortgage, indenture or
instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (or the payment of which is guaranteed by an Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, if that default: (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such
Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”) or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and,
in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $20.0 million or
more; provided, that so long as the outstanding Notes have not been accelerated, if within a period of 60 days from the continuation of such default under such other Indebtedness beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such
acceleration of such other Indebtedness, as the case may be, any such default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such other Indebtedness is repaid (other than as a result of any such acceleration), such Event of Default shall
be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree; (vi) the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to pay final judgments by courts of competent jurisdiction
aggregating in excess of $20.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; (vii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be held in any judicial proceeding to
be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee; and
(viii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to an Issuer, the General Partner or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may or at the request of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes shall declare all the Notes to be due
and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to an Issuer or the General Partner, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without
further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may direct the
Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, interest or Liquidated
Damages) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in
the payment of interest on, or the principal or premium, if any, of the Notes. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors are required to deliver to the Trustee annually an Officers’ Certificate regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the
Issuers are required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 
 13. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its commercial banking or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and
may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

  
 A-7









 14. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Unitholders and No
Recourse Against General Partner. Neither the General Partner nor any past, present or future director, officer, partner, employee, incorporator, manager or unitholder or other owner of Equity Interests of the Issuers, the General Partner or any
Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any Obligations of the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such Obligations or
their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
 15. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 

16. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to
Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights and obligations set forth in the applicable Registration Rights Agreement. By any such Holder’s acceptance of Restricted
Global Notes or Restricted Definitive Notes, such Holder acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of the applicable Registration Rights Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligations of the Holders with respect to indemnification of the
Issuers to the extent provided therein. 
 17. 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 right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

 18. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE AND ENFORCE THE INDENTURE AND
THE NOTES. 
 19. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security
Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers
either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 
 The Issuers will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement. Requests may be made to:
