 ARTICLE TWO 
 THE
SECURITIES 
 SECTION 2.01. Amount of Securities. 
 The Trustee shall initially authenticate Securities for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000,000 of Securities (the “Initial Securities”) upon a written
order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer (other than as provided in Section 2.08). The Trustee shall authenticate Securities (the “Additional Securities”) thereafter in unlimited amount (so
long as permitted by the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10) for original issue upon a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in aggregate principal amount as specified in such
order (other than as provided in Section 2.08). Each such written order shall specify the principal amount of Additional Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the Additional Securities are to be authenticated. 
 SECTION 2.02. Form and Dating. 
 The
Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is incorporated in and form a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or
endorsements required by law, rule or usage to which the Issuer is subject. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Securities offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A (“Rule 144A

Placement Legend. The Issuer shall approve the form of the Securities and any notation, legend or endorsement on them. Each Security shall be dated the date of its issuance and show the date of its authentication. 
  

 -41- 








 The terms and provisions contained in the Securities shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a
part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and agree to be bound thereby. 
 The Securities may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange at the offices of the Registrar. 
 Securities issued in exchange for interests in a Global Security pursuant to Section 2.16 may be issued in the form of permanent certificated
Securities in registered form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “Physical Securities”). 
 SECTION 2.03. Execution and Authentication. 
 One Officer, who shall have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate
actions, shall sign the Securities for the Issuer by manual, facsimile or electronic image scan signature. 
 If the Officer whose signature
is on a Security was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless. 
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 2.12, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents with the consent of the Issuers to authenticate the Securities. Unless otherwise provided in
the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate the Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same
rights as an Agent to deal with the Issuer and Affiliates of the Issuers. Each Paying Agent is designated as an authenticating agent for purposes of this Indenture. 
  

 -42- 








 The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and
any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. 
 SECTION 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an
office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer 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 Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The
Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled
to appropriate compensation in accordance with Section 7.07. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Securities. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Securities. 
 SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent To Hold Assets in Trust. 
 Each 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 of or premium or interest on the Securities (whether such money has been paid to it by the Issuer, one or more of the Guarantors or any other
obligor on the Securities), and the Issuer and each Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment. Money held in trust by a Paying Agent need not be segregated
except as required by law and in no event shall a Paying Agent be liable for any interest on any money received by it hereunder. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds
disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2), upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith all money so held by it to the
Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon making such payment, such Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee 
  

 -43- 








 SECTION 2.06. Holder Lists. 
 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders.
If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least two (2) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such
date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. 
 Subject to Sections 2.16 and 2.17, when Securities are presented to the Registrar or a
co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Securities or to exchange such Securities for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall promptly register the transfer
or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or
similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer
of or exchange of any Security (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (ii) selected for
redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article Three, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, and (iii) during a Change of Control Offer, an Alternate Offer or an Asset Sale Offer if such Security is tendered
pursuant to such Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or Asset Sale Offer and not withdrawn. 
 Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a
Global Security shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Securities may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its
agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Security shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry system. 
  

 -44- 








 SECTION 2.08. Replacement Securities. 
 If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed
or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security (and the Guarantors, if any, shall execute the guarantee thereon) if the Holder of such Security furnishes to the Issuer and the Trustee evidence
reasonably acceptable to them of the ownership and the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date of this Indenture are met. If required
by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond shall be posted, sufficient in the judgment of all to protect the Issuer, the Guarantors, if any, the Trustee or any Paying Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Security is replaced.
The Issuer may charge such Holder for the Issuer’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing such Security and the Trustee may charge the Issuer for the Trustee’s expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) in replacing such Security. Every replacement Security shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer. 
 SECTION
2.09. Outstanding Securities. 
 The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities that have been authenticated by the
Trustee except (a) those canceled by it, (b) those delivered to it for cancellation, (c) to the extent set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02, on or after the date on the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 or 9.02 have been
satisfied and (d) these Securities theretofore authenticated by the Trustee hereunder and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or any of its Affiliates holds the
Security (subject to the provisions of Section 2.10). 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated
Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Security is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Issuer. A mutilated Security ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08. 
 If the principal amount of any Security is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest ceases to accrue. If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date the Trustee or Paying Agent
(other than the Issuer or an Affiliate thereof) holds U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Securities sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest due on the Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease
to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
  

 -45- 








 SECTION 2.10. Treasury Securities. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by
the Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall be disregarded, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be disregarded. 
 SECTION 2.11. Temporary Securities. 
 Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities
shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive
Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until such exchange, temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Securities are
represented by a Global Security, such Global Security may be in typewritten form. 
 SECTION 2.12. Cancellation. 
 The Issuer at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary), and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction
of the Issuer, shall dispose of all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures. Subject to Section 2.08, the Issuer may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that
it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Issuer or any Guarantor shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Securities

such Holder’s address appearing in the note register; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee a written order of the Issuer and an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give the Automatic Exchange
Notice (in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) and setting forth the information to be stated in the Automatic Ex-change Notice as provided in the preceding sentence. As a condition to any such exchange pursuant to this Section 2.20, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer, and rely conclusively without any liability, upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Issuer, in form and in substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the
effect that such transfer of beneficial interests to the Unrestricted Global Security shall be effected in compliance with the Securities Act. Any such Opinion of Counsel may include an assumption and/or a reliance provision as to the non-Affiliate
status of the Holders of Securities subject to such Automatic Exchange. Upon such exchange of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 2.20, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date of such transfer and a decrease and
increase, respectively, in the principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global Security(s) and the Unrestricted Global Security, respectively, equal to the principal amount of beneficial interests transferred. If an Unrestricted Global Security
is not then outstanding at the time of the Automatic Exchange, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver an Unrestricted Global Security to the Depositary. Following any such transfer pursuant to this Section 2.20,
provided that no Holder is an Affiliate, the relevant Restricted Global Security shall be cancelled.

on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) the Issuer hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had
been enacted. 
 SECTION 4.09. Change of Control. 
 (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s

 -61- 








 (2) the purchase price (including the amount of accrued interest) and the Change of
Control Payment Date; 
 (3) that any Security not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 
 (4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making payment therefor, any Security accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer
shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing to have a Security
purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Security, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Security completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified
in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (6)
that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the second Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the
Holder, the principal amount of the Securities the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased; 
 (7) that Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part will be issued new Securities in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased

 (c) On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful: 
 (1) accept for payment all Securities or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 (d) The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Securities properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each
Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Security will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof. 
 The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer as soon as practicable after the Change of Control
Payment Date. However, if the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest Record Date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Security is
registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Securities pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon
the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer, as provided above, if, in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, it or a third party has
made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Securities validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Securities properly tendered in accordance with the
terms of such Alternate Offer. The Alternate Offer must comply with all the other provisions applicable to the Change of Control Offer, shall remain, if commenced prior to the Change of Control, open for acceptance until the consummation of the
Change of Control and must permit Holders to withdraw any tenders of Securities made into the Alternate Offer until the final expiration or consummation thereof. 
 (g) The Issuer will comply, and will cause any third party making a Change of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer to comply, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and
regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer. To the extent the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Indenture relating to a Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of complying with such laws or regulations.

provided, however, that (A) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the
balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (A)) and (B) the maximum assumable liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including noncash

without reliance on this clause (11));

 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.10, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more
than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (21) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.10(a), the Issuer will be permitted to classify and later reclassify such item of
Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.10, and such item of Indebtedness will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to only one of such categories. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment

of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding investments by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments

or any related Guarantee of a Guarantor, on any asset or property of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 4.12(a) shall not apply to:

refinancings or replacements thereof) in an aggregate principal amount (as of the date of incurrence of any such Indebtedness and after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence thereof and the application of the net proceeds therefrom), not
exceeding the greater of (A) $1,325.0 million and (B) the maximum aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Indebtedness that could be incurred without exceeding a Senior Secured Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio for the Issuer of 3.00 to
1.00 determined on a pro forma basis (including 

  

 -76- 








 
a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness and Liens had been incurred and the application of proceeds
therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period;

Documents securing (A) interest rate or currency swaps, caps or collars or similar Hedging Obligations entered into to hedge the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s exposure with respect to activities not prohibited under this Indenture and

receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; 
 (2) in the case of Asset Sales involving consideration in excess of $50.0 million, the fair market value is determined by the
Issuer’s Board of Directors and evidenced by a Board Resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and 
 (3) except for any Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. 
 For purposes of clause (2) above, the amount of (i) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance
sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Securities) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and from which the Issuer and all
Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all applicable creditors in writing, (ii) any securities received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee 

  

 -77-

Asset Sale and (iii) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Issuer), taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $75.0 million and (y) 5.0% of Consolidated Tangible
Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), shall
be deemed to be cash for purposes of this paragraph and for no other purpose. 
 (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds
from an Asset Sale, the Issuer may apply those Net Proceeds at its option: 
 (1) to permanently reduce 
 (A) Bank Obligations under a Credit Agreement to the extent such Credit Agreement requires the reduction of such Bank Obligations;

 (B) Obligations constituting First Lien Obligations (other than Hedging Obligations and Bank Obligations under a Credit
Agreement) and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; provided that if the Issuer shall so reduce such Obligations, it will equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Securities by making an offer (in accordance
with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer (as defined below)) to all Holders to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, the pro
rata principal amount of Securities; 
 (C) Obligations under the Existing Senior Subordinated Notes if, at the time of,
and after giving effect to, any repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other reduction of Obligations under the Existing Senior Subordinated Notes, the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds applied pursuant to this clause (1)(C) since the Issue Date,
when taken together with the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds applied pursuant to clause (2) below, shall not exceed $250.0 million; provided that Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale may only be applied pursuant to this clause (1)(C) if the
substantial majority of the assets sold in such Asset Sale are Recorded Music Business assets determined in good faith by the Issuer;

which are applied solely to repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise permanently reduce Obligations under the Holdings Notes (A) if, at the time of, and after giving effect to, any such Restricted Payment, the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds
applied pursuant to this clause (2) since the Issue Date, when taken together with the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds applied pursuant to clause (1)(C) above, shall not exceed $250.0 million; provided that Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale
may only be applied pursuant to this clause (2)(A) if the substantial majority of the assets sold in such Asset Sale consist of Recorded Music Business assets as determined in good faith by the Issuer and (B) in an unlimited amount if such
Asset Sale is a Recorded Music Sale and the Change of Control Offer in connection therewith has been completed; 
 (3) to make
an investment in (A) any one or more businesses (provided that such investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital Stock
of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary), (B) capital expenditures or (C) other assets that, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), are used or useful in a Permitted Business; and/or

 (4) to make an investment in (A) any one or more businesses; provided that such investment in any business is
in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and it results in the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) properties or (C) assets
that, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), replace the businesses, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale. 
 (c) When the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds not applied or invested in accordance with the preceding paragraph (“Excess Proceeds”) exceeds $50.0 million, after taking into account any
reductions of Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with the Securities made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Issuer will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders and holders of Indebtedness that ranks
pari passu with the Securities and contains provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase, on a pro rata basis, after taking into account any
reductions of Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with the Securities made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the maximum principal amount of Securities and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the
Excess Proceeds 

  

 -79-

unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Asset Sale Payment”), and will be payable in cash. 
 (d) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (e) If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Securities tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon
completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 
 (f) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale
Offer, the Issuer shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and to each Holder at its registered address. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holder to tender Securities pursuant to the

Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the Asset Sale Payment Date, a notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security the Holder delivered for purchase and a
statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased; 
 (8) that, if the aggregate
principal amount of Securities surrendered by Holders exceeds the Asset Sale Offer Amount, the Issuer shall select the Securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that
only Securities in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 shall be purchased); and 
 (9) that Holders whose
Securities were purchased only in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer); provided that such Securities shall be in

transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Security shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. However, if the Asset Sale Payment Date is on or after an interest Record Date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose
name a Security is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Securities pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

 (8) payments made or performance under any agreement as

pursuant to clause (1), (4), (11) or (20) of Section 4.10(b);

 -85- 








 
renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses
(1) through (11) of this Section 4.15(b), provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the
Issuer’s Board of Directors, no more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal,
increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing; 
 (13) any encumbrance or restriction of a Securitization
Subsidiary effected in connection with a Qualified Securitization Financing; provided, however, that such restrictions apply only to such Securitization Subsidiary; or 
 (14) any encumbrance or restriction in connection with Non-Recourse Product Financing Indebtedness or Non-Recourse Acquisition Financing
Indebtedness. 
 SECTION 4.16. Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. 
 (a) The Issuer will cause each Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary (unless such Subsidiary is a Securitization Subsidiary)
that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Securities, substantially in the form
of Exhibit I hereto. Each Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Restricted Subsidiary without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable
under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 
 (b) Each Guarantee shall be released in accordance with Article Eleven. 
 SECTION 4.17. Reports to Holders. 
 (a) Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any Securities are outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to the Holders, within the time periods
specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations: 
 (1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be
required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Issuer 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 Issuer’s certified independent accountants; and 
  

 -86- 








 (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form
8-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports. 
 (b) In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, the Issuer will file a
copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (unless the Commission will
not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. In addition, the Issuer has agreed that, for so long as any Securities remain outstanding, 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. 
 (c) In addition, if at any time any parent company of the Issuer becomes a Guarantor (there being no obligation of any parent company of the Issuer to do
so) and complies with the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission (or any successor provision), the reports, information and other documents required to be filed and furnished to Holders pursuant to this
Section 4.17 may, at the option of the Issuer, be filed by and be those of such parent company rather than the Issuer. 
 SECTION 4.18.
Limitation on Subordinated Debt. 
 The Issuer will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including
Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Securities and the applicable
Guarantees on substantially identical or more favorable terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer solely by virtue of being unsecured or
by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis. 
 SECTION 4.19. Business Activities. 
 The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Securitization Subsidiary) to, engage in any business other than
Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 SECTION 4.20.
Payments for Consent. 
 The Issuer will not, and will 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 for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is
paid to all Holders 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 4.21. Restrictions on Music Publishing Sale. 
 The Issuer may not consummate a Music Publishing Sale unless: 
 (1) the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States, the
District of Columbia or any territory thereof (such Person being herein called the “Successor MP Company”); 
 (2) the Successor MP
Company has assumed all the obligations of the Issuer under the Securities, the Indenture, the Security Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 (3) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists; 
 (4) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of
the applicable four-quarter period, either 
 (a) the Successor MP Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional
Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; or 
 (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor MP Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction; and 
 (5) each Guarantor, unless it is not part of the Music Publishing Sale, shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under the Indenture and the Securities. 
 The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation of a Music Publishing Sale an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the conditions
set forth above are satisfied and an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion may contain customary exceptions and qualifications, that the Music Publishing Sale and the supplemental indenture, if any, comply with this Indenture. 
 This Section 4.21 will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Issuer and its
Restricted Subsidiaries.

 ARTICLE FIVE 
 SUCCESSOR CORPORATION 
 SECTION 5.01. Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets. 
 (a) The Issuer may not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving
corporation); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person,
unless: 
 (1) either: (a) the Issuer is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any
such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United
States, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof (the Issuer or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”); 
 (2) the Successor Company (if other than the Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Securities, this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement; 
 (3) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists; 
 (4) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions, as if the same had
occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, either 
 (a) the Successor Company or the Person to which
such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; or 
 (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for the
Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction; and 
  

 -89- 








 (5) each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above,
shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities; 
 provided, that for the purposes of this Section 5.01 only, neither a Music Publishing Sale nor Recorded Music Sale will be deemed to be a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) the Issuer may therefore consummate a Music Publishing Sale in accordance with Section 4.21 notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 5.01, (2) the Issuer may therefore consummate a Recorded Music Sale in accordance with Section 4.13 without complying with this Section 5.01 (other than the preceding proviso) notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 5.01 and (3) the determination in the preceding proviso shall not affect the determination of what constitutes all or substantially all the assets of the Issuer under any other contract to which the Issuer is a
party. 
 This Section 5.01 will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among
the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (3) and (4), (i) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer or to another
Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the Issuer may merge with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another state of the United States so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted
Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. 
 In the event of any transaction described in and complying with the conditions listed in the
preceding paragraph in which the Issuer is not the continuing corporation, the successor Person formed or remaining shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer and the Issuer will be discharged
from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities. 
 (b) The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee prior to the
consummation of each proposed transaction an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the conditions set forth above are satisfied and an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion may contain customary exceptions and qualifications, that the proposed
transaction and the supplemental indenture, if any, comply with this Indenture.

on the Securities; 
 (2) the Issuer defaults in the payment when due of interest or Special Interest, if any, on or with
respect to the Securities and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (3) the Issuer defaults in the

any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the Issue Date, if (A) such default either (1) results from the
failure to pay any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or (2) relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final
maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity and (B) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such
Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $25.0 million (or its foreign currency equivalent)
or more at any one time outstanding; 
 (5) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any
Bankruptcy Law:

 (E) takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency, 
 (F) generally is not able to pay its debts as they become due, or 
 (G) takes any corporate action to authorize or effect any of the foregoing;

 (A) is for relief against the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case, 
 (B) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer or any
Significant Subsidiary, or

 (7) the failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments (other than any judgments covered by insurance policies
issued by reputable and creditworthy insurance companies) aggregating in excess of $25.0 million, which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgment becomes final, and, with
respect to any judgments covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed; 
 (8) the Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any
Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or any Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days; or 
  

 -92- 








 (9) with respect to Collateral having a fair market value in excess of $25.0 million,
individually, (A) the security interest under the Security Documents, at any time, ceases to be in full force and effect for any reason other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Security Documents (other than to the
extent that any such failure to be in full force and effect results from the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Security Documents or to file
Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements and except, as to Collateral consisting of real property, to the extent that such failure is covered by a lender’s title insurance policy and the Collateral Agent is reasonably satisfied with the
credit of such insurer), (B) any security interest created thereunder or under the Indenture is declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or (C) the Issuer or any Guarantor asserts, in any pleading or in any
court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable. 
 SECTION 6.02. Acceleration.

 If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(5) and (6) above occurs with respect to the Issuer and is continuing, then all
unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of each Trustee or any
Holder. 
 If any other Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
outstanding Securities under this Indenture may declare the principal of and accrued interest on such Securities to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a
“notice of acceleration” (the “Acceleration Notice”), and the same: 
 (1) shall become immediately
due and payable; or 
 (2) shall become immediately due and payable upon the first to occur of an acceleration under any
Credit Agreement and five Business Days after receipt by the Issuer of such Acceleration Notice but only if such Event of Default is then continuing. 
 At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities as described in the two preceding paragraphs, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may rescind and cancel such
declaration and its consequences: 
 (1) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree; 
  

 -93- 








 (2) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of
principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration; 
 (3) to the extent the payment of such
interest is lawful, if interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; 
 (4) if the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and
advances; and 
 (5) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Sections 6.01(5) and
(6), if the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. 
 No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies.

 (a) If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the
payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture. 
 (b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy
accruing upon a Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 (c) In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) of Section 6.01, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof
(excluding, however, any resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuer delivers an Officers’
Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case
may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Securities as described above
be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events. 
  

 -94- 








 (d) Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Securities except as provided in this Indenture and
under the TIA, if provisions from the TIA are incorporated into this Indenture. Subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this
Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to all provisions of this Indenture and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities issued under this Indenture have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee. 
 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Defaults. 
 Provided the Securities are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities at the time outstanding may on behalf of the
Holders of all the Securities waive any Default with respect to such Securities and its consequences by providing written notice thereof to the Issuer and the Trustee, except a Default (1) in the payment of interest on or the principal of any
Security or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuers, the
Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, respectively; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
provided, however, that if any amendment, waiver or other modification will only affect the Securities, only the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (and not the consent
of at least a majority of all Securities), as the case may be, shall be required. 
 SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. 
 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. Subject to Section 7.01, however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, that the
Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Securityholder, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction. 
  

 -95- 








 In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the
Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification against any loss or expense caused by taking such action or following such direction. 
 SECTION
6.06. Limitation on Suits. 
 A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless: 

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 
 (2) the Holder or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities make a written request to the Trustee to
pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer and provide to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 45 days after
receipt of the request and the offer and the provision of indemnity; and 
 (5) during such 45-day period the Holder or
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities do not give the Trustee a direction which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request. 
 A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder. 

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, 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 the Holder. 
 SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. 
 If a Default in payment of principal or interest specified
in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities for the whole amount of principal and accrued
interest and fees remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue 

  

 -96- 








 
installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by the Securities and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as
may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings
relating to the Issuer, its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such
judicial proceedings 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
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 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 Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any
such proceeding. The Trustee shall be entitled to participate as a member of any officer committee of creditors in the matters as it deems necessary or advisable. 
 SECTION 6.10. Priorities. 
 Subject to the provisions of Article Ten, if the Trustee collects any
money or property pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 
 FIRST: to
the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; 
 SECOND: to Holders for interest accrued on the Securities, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for interest; 
 THIRD:
to Holders for principal amounts due and unpaid on the Securities, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal; and 
 FOURTH: to the Issuer or, if applicable, the Guarantors, as their respective interests may appear. 
  

 -97- 








 The Trustee, upon prior notice to the Issuer, may fix a Record Date and payment date for any payment to
Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. 
 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as
Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to
Section 6.07, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities. 
 ARTICLE SEVEN

 TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 7.01.
Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested

of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this

is subject to this Section 7.01.

 SECTION 7.07.
Compensation and Indemnity. 
 The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Issuer and the Trustee
shall from time to time agree in writing for its services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all
reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as may be attributable
to the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Issuer shall indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors for, and hold them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims including
taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), liability or expense incurred by them except for such actions to the extent caused by any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on their part, arising
out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or a Guarantee against the Issuer or a Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and the reasonable costs and
expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee’s rights, powers or duties hereunder (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Guarantor, any
Holder or any other Person). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee or any of its agents, employees, officers, 

  

 -102- 








 
stockholders and directors for which it may seek indemnity. The Issuer may, subject to the approval of the Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld), defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors subject to the claim may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if, subject to the approval of the Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), it assumes the
Trustee’s defense and there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors subject to the claim in connection with such defense as reasonably determined by the
Trustee. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through its negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct. 
 Notwithstanding Section 4.12 hereof, to secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in
this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities against all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) occurs, such expenses and the compensation for such services shall be paid to the extent allowed under
any Bankruptcy Law and are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Indenture, the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 
 The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Issuer and the Trustee and may appoint a
successor Trustee. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

 (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; 
  

 -103- 








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

 (4) 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 Issuer shall notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year
after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Immediately after that, the retiring
Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided in Section 7.07, the resignation or removal of
the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the
Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the Issuer. 
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s
obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger,
Etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business
to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee; provided that such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven. 
 SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirement of TIA §§ 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The
Trustee shall have a combined capital and 

  

 -104-

in a bank holding company system, the Trustee, independently of the bank holding company, shall meet the capital requirements of TIA § 310(a)(2). The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that
there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Issuer are outstanding, if the requirements
for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met. The provisions of TIA § 310 shall apply to the Issuer and any other obligor of the Securities. 
 SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. 
 The Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be

Trustee or a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of that purpose, U.S. Legal Tender

be applied to such deposit) and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or
by which it is bound; 
 (d) the Issuer shall have paid all other sums payable by it hereunder; and 
 (e) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all

 Subject to the next sentence and notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive until the Securities are no
longer outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.09. After the Securities are no longer outstanding, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive. 
 After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under
the Securities and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above. 
  

 -106- 








 Upon a satisfaction and discharge in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents, the

 SECTION 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. 
 (a) The Issuer may, at its option and at any
time, elect to have either paragraph (b) or (c) below applied to all outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 8.03. 
 (b) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (b), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.03, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose,
Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of
Section 8.04 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture (with respect to such Securities) referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture (with respect
to such Securities) and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have satisfied all of their obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities issued hereunder to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Special Interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due from the trust

 -107- 








 Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Issuer may exercise its option under this
Section 8.02(b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.02(c) hereof. 
 (c) Upon the Issuer’s
exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 hereof, be released from their obligations
under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03 (with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries only), 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07 and 4.09 through 4.20 and clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01(a) hereof with respect to the outstanding
Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities 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 Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities, the Issuer 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 an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon
the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 hereof, clauses (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) of
Section 6.01 hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 
 SECTION 8.03. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance. 
 The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02(b) or 8.02(c) hereof to the
outstanding Securities:

thereunder, cash in U.S. Legal Tender, non-callable U.S. Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. Legal Tender and non-callable U.S. Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium and Special Interest, if any, on the outstanding Securities issued thereunder on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be,
and the Issuer must specify whether the Securities are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the holders of the respective outstanding Securities 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; 
 (3) in the case of an election under Section 8.02(c) hereof, the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the holders of the respective outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will
be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default
resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) or insofar as Events of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of
deposit; 
 (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (6) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the
intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer or others; and 
 (7) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

 SECTION 8.04. Application of Trust Money. 
 The Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Securities, deposited with it pursuant to this Article Eight, and shall apply the deposited U.S. Legal Tender and the money from U.S. Government

Issuer. 
 The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Legal
Tender and U.S. Government Securities, deposited pursuant to Section 8.03 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
Securities. 
 Anything in this Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to
time upon the Issuer’s request any U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Securities, held by it as provided in Section 8.03 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written

 SECTION 8.05. Repayment to the Issuer. 
 Subject to this Article Eight, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon request any excess U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Securities, held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all
liability with respect to such money. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years; provided that the Trustee or
such Paying Agent, before being required to make any payment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or mail to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such
money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the
Issuer, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another Person.

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Securities in accordance with this Article Eight 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 Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be
revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Eight until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Securities in accordance with this Article
Eight; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive
such payment from the U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 (e) In addition, without the consent of at
least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of Securities then outstanding, an amendment, supplement or wavier may not have the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Securities, other than in
connection with sales of the Collateral permitted hereunder, including a Recorded Music Sale or, in the case of a Music Publishing Sale, where the terms of Section 4.21 are being complied with. 
 SECTION 9.03. Reserved. 
 SECTION
9.04. Compliance with TIA. 
 From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, if it is so qualified, every amendment,
waiver or supplement of this Indenture, the Securities or the Subsidiary Guarantees shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 
 SECTION
9.05. Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
 (a) Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder
is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any
such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of his Security by notice to the Trustee or the Issuer received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
  

 -114- 








 (b) The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the
Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver which record date shall be at least 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately
preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders
after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. The Issuer shall inform the Trustee in writing of the fixed record date if applicable. 
 (c) After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses
(1) through (8) of Section 9.02(b), in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences
the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Security, on or after the respective due dates
expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 9.06. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 
 If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes
the terms of a Security, the Issuer may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Issuer shall provide the Trustee with an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and cause the Trustee to return it to
the Holder at the Issuer’s expense. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to
make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 SECTION 9.07. Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc. 
 The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized
pursuant to this Article Nine; provided that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee
shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this 

  

 -115- 








 
Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable in accordance
with its terms. Such Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Issuer.

 SECTION 10.03. Release of Collateral. 
 (a) Subject to subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 10.03 and Section 9.02, Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security Documents at any time or from time to time in
accordance with the provisions of Security Documents or as provided hereby. In addition, upon the request of the Issuer pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying that all conditions precedent hereunder have been
met and stating whether or not such release is in connection with an Asset Sale and (at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer) the Collateral Agent will release Collateral that is sold, conveyed or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of
this Indenture; provided that if such sale, conveyance or disposition constitutes an Asset Sale, the Issuer will apply the Net Proceeds in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof. Upon receipt of such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion
of Counsel the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the
Security Documents.

 (c) At any time when a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the maturity of the Securities has been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise) and the Trustee has delivered a notice of acceleration to the
Collateral Agent, no release of Collateral pursuant to the provisions of the Security Documents will be effective as against the Holders of Notes. 
 (d) In the following circumstances, as applicable and as established by Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, either (i) the Collateral Agent will cease to be a party to the Security Documents on behalf of the Holders and
the Collateral will cease to secure the Securities or (ii) the Liens securing the Securities will automatically and without the need for any further action by any Person be released:

of by the Issuer or any Guarantor (other than to the Issuer or another Guarantor) in a transaction (other than a Music Publishing Sale, which is governed by the terms of Section 4.21) not prohibited by this Indenture, or any Credit Agreement or
the Security Documents at the time of such transfer or disposition or (B) is owned or at any time acquired by a Guarantor that has been released from its Guarantee, concurrently with the release of such Guarantee;

Section 9.02(a); and 
 (6) in part, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Security Documents.

Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents. To the extent applicable, the Issuer will cause TIA §313(b), relating to reports, and TIA
§314(d), relating to the release of property or securities from the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents and relating to the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the Lien and security interest
of the Security Documents, to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required by TIA §314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Issuer except in cases where TIA §314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an
independent Person, which Person will be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected or approved by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent in the exercise of reasonable care. 
 SECTION 10.04. Certificates of the Issuer. 
 If the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, prior to each proposed release of Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents: 
 (1) all documents required by TIA §314(d); and 
 (2) an Opinion of Counsel, which may be rendered by internal counsel to the Issuer, to the effect that such accompanying documents constitute all documents required by TIA §314(d).

 The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, accept as conclusive evidence
of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate statements contained in such documents and such Opinion of Counsel.

such release and, based on such determination and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 10.04(2) hereof, will deliver a certificate to the Collateral Agent setting forth such determination. 
 SECTION 10.06. Authorization of Actions to be Taken by the Trustee Under the Security Documents. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders of Notes,
direct, on behalf of the Holders of Notes, the Collateral Agent to, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to: 
 (1)
enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents; and 
 (2) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations
of the Issuer hereunder. 
 The Trustee will have power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings, at the expense of the Issuer,
as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or
protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of Notes in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule
or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of Notes or of the
Trustee).

certificate to the Collateral Agent stating that such Obligations have been paid in full, and instruct the Collateral Agent to, as applicable, either (a) release the Liens pursuant to this Indenture and the Security Documents or (b) cease
to be a party to the Security Documents on behalf of the Trustee and the Holders. 
 SECTION 10.09. Post-Collateral Obligations.

its commercially reasonable efforts (i) to correct any material defect or error that may be discovered in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or recordation of any document or instrument relating to any Collateral, and (ii) do, execute,
acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register any and all such further acts, deeds, certificates, assurances and other instruments as the Collateral Agent, may reasonably require from time to time in order to carry

senior secured basis to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its 

  

 -120- 








 
successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Issuer or any other
Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder: (a) (x) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at
maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise, (y) the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest, if any, on the Securities and (z) the due and
punctual payment and performance of all other obligations of the Issuer and all other obligations of the other Guarantors (including under the Guarantees), in each case, to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including amounts due
the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof), all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”); and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or
any of such other obligations, the due and punctual payment and performance of Guarantee Obligations in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing
payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Issuer to the Holders under this Indenture or under the Securities, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or
cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Securities shall constitute an event of default under the Subsidiary Guarantees, and shall entitle the Holders to accelerate the obligations of the
Guarantors thereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Issuer. 
 Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees
that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to
any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any particular Security, or any other circumstance which
might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or
bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations
contained in the Securities, this Indenture and the Guarantee. The Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or to any Guarantor, or any
custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or such Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or such Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be
reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Securities and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article Eleven, the maturity of the obligations
guaranteed 

  

 -121- 








 
hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of the Guarantee. 
 SECTION 11.02. Reserved. 
 SECTION 11.03. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 
 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders
and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article Eleven shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and
fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such
other Guarantor under this Article Eleven, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 SECTION 11.04. Reserved. 
 SECTION 11.05. Release of a Guarantor. 
 The Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released: 
 (1) (a) upon the sale, disposition or other transfer (including through merger or consolidation) of all of the Capital Stock (or any sale, disposition or other transfer of Capital Stock following which the applicable
Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary), or all or substantially all the assets, of the applicable Guarantor if such sale, disposition or other transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 
 (b) if the Issuer designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with
Section 4.11 and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” or 
  

 -122- 








 (c) in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary which after the Issue Date is required to
guarantee the Securities pursuant to Section 4.16, upon the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary or the
repayment of the Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, in each case, which resulted in the obligation to guarantee the Securities; and 
 (2) in the case of clause (1)(a) above, if such Guarantor is released from its guarantee, if any, of, and all pledges and security, if any, granted in connection with, the Credit Agreement and any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or
any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 provided, however, in any case that any such termination shall occur only to the extent that all obligations of such
Guarantor under all of its Guarantees of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Indebtedness of any other Guarantor shall also terminate upon such release and none of its Equity Interests are pledged for the benefit of any holder of any Indebtedness
of the Issuer or any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer. 
 The Trustee shall execute an appropriate instrument prepared
by the Issuer evidencing the release of a Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee upon receipt of a request by the Issuer or such Guarantor accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the
compliance with this Section 11.05; provided, however, that the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officers’ Certificates of the Issuer. 
 Except as set forth in Articles Four and Five and this Section 11.05, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent
any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Guarantor.

 SECTION 11.06. Waiver of Subrogation. 
 Until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Securities are discharged and paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter
acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Issuer’s obligations under the Securities or this Indenture and such Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee and this Indenture, in
any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Holders against the Issuer, whether or not such claim,
remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or 

  

 -123- 








 
receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other assets or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim
or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders under the Securities, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument delivered under or in
connection with such agreements or instruments, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the Holders and shall
forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.06 is knowingly made in contemplation of
such benefits. 
 SECTION 11.07. Immediate Payment. 
 Each Guarantor agrees to make immediate payment to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of all Guarantee Obligations owing or payable to the respective Holders upon receipt of a demand for payment therefor by the
Trustee to such Guarantor in writing. 
 SECTION 11.08. No Setoff. 
 Each payment to be made by a Guarantor hereunder in respect of the Guarantee Obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such
Guarantee Obligations are denominated, and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 SECTION 11.09. Guarantee Obligations Absolute. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, the obligations of each
Guarantor hereunder are and shall be absolute and unconditional and any monies or amounts expressed to be owing or payable by each Guarantor hereunder which may not be recoverable from such Guarantor on the basis of a Guarantee shall be recoverable
from such Guarantor as a primary obligor and principal debtor in respect thereof. 
 SECTION 11.10. Guarantee Obligations Continuing.

 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all such obligations have
been paid and satisfied in full. Each Guarantor agrees with the Trustee that it will from time to time deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of this continued liability hereunder and under any other instrument or instruments in such form
as counsel to the Trustee may advise and as will prevent any 

  

 -124- 








 
action brought against it in respect of any default hereunder being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter in force and, in the event of the
failure of a Guarantor so to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and agent of such Guarantor to make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other instruments as may from time to time become
necessary or advisable, in the judgment of the Trustee on the advice of counsel, to fully maintain and keep in force the liability of such Guarantor hereunder. 
 SECTION 11.11. Guarantee Obligations Not Reduced. 
 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall
not be satisfied, reduced or discharged solely by the payment of such principal, premium, if any, interest, fees and other monies or amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article Eight be or become owing or
payable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with the Securities or this Indenture. 
 SECTION 11.12. Guarantee Obligations
Reinstated. 
 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if
at any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Issuer or by or on behalf of a Guarantor) is rescinded or reclaimed from any of
the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer or any Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Issuer or any other
Guarantor is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer or such Guarantor, all such Indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor as
provided herein. 
 SECTION 11.13. Guarantee Obligations Not Affected. 
 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any act, omission, matter or thing whatsoever,
occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment hereunder (and whether or not known or consented to by any Guarantor or any of the Holders) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against any
Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate any Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise affect such obligations, whether occasioned by default of any of the Holders or otherwise, including, without
limitation: 
 (a) any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to the Issuer or
any other Person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding involving or affecting the Issuer or any other Person;

 (f) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Securities, or any other amendment,
variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the Securities or this Indenture, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of or premium, if any, or interest on any of
the Securities; 
 (g) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure or
constitution of the Issuer or a Guarantor; 
 (h) any merger or amalgamation of the Issuer or a Guarantor with any Person or
Persons; 
 (i) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction by any present
or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Guarantee Obligations or the obligations of a Guarantor under its
Guarantee; and 
 (j) any other circumstance, including release of the Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.05 (other than by
complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Issuer under this Indenture or the Securities or of a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee hereunder.

 SECTION 11.14. Waiver. 
 Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 11.01, each Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of any
Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by the Holders upon the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Issuer, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Guarantee
Obligations, or other notice or formalities to the Issuer or any Guarantor of any kind whatsoever.

or under this Indenture.

 The Holders, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor

SECTION 11.18. Amendment, Etc.

 SECTION 11.21. No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative

 SECTION 11.24. Severability. 
 Any provision of this Article Eleven which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction unless its removal

amount of this Security at 9.50% per annum from May 28, 2009 until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 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 Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance; provided
that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next
succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be December 15, 2009. The Company 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 to the extent lawful at the interest rate applicable to the Securities; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30 day months. 
 SECTION 2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered
Holders of Securities at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as
provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Securities will be issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any and interest on the
Securities 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 (“U.S. Legal Tender”). Principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special
Interest, if any, on the Securities will be payable at the office or 

  

 A-4

respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that all payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to Securities the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Company prior to the Record
Date will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Until otherwise designated by the Company, the Company’s office or agency in New York will be the office of the
Trustee maintained for such purpose. 
 SECTION 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the
Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any Affiliate may act in any such capacity.

Securities are subject to all such terms (except as aforementioned), and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the
Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 SECTION 5. Optional Redemption. (a) The Securities

of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from such redemption date to June 15, 2013; provided, however, that if the period from such redemption date to June 15, 2013 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on
actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used. 
 (b) On or after June 15,
2013, the Securities will be subject to redemption at any time at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set

 SECTION 13. Defaults and
Remedies. If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities generally may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency as set forth in the Indenture, with respect to the Company, all outstanding Securities will become due and payable without further action
or notice. Holders of the Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may
direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities waive any Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a
continuing Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of the Securities or in respect of certain covenants set forth in the Indenture.

liens, to sell assets, to permit restrictions on dividends and other payments by Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets or to engage in transactions with affiliates. The
limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations. 
 SECTION 15. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any direct or indirect parent corporation or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any
liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Securities, the Indenture, the Security Documents, the Guarantors’ Subsidiary Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or
their creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 In connection with our proposed purchase of 9.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 of WMG ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation (“the Issuer”),
we confirm that: 
 1. We have received a copy of the Offering Circular (the “Offering Circular”), dated May 19, 2009, relating
to the Securities and such other information as we deem necessary in order to make our investment decision. We acknowledge that we have read and agreed to the matters stated in the section entitled “Notice to Investors” of such Offering
Circular, including the restrictions on duplication and circulation of the Offering Circular. 
 2. We understand that any subsequent
transfer of the Securities is subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Indenture relating to the Securities (the “Indenture”) as described in the Offering Circular and the undersigned agrees to be bound by, and not
to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Securities except in compliance with, such restrictions and conditions and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and all applicable State securities laws. 
  

 E-1 








 3. We understand that the offer and sale of the Securities have not been registered under the Securities
Act, and that the Securities may not be offered or sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should sell any Securities, we
will do so only (i) to the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) inside the United States in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act to a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities
Act), (iii) inside the United States to an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined below) that, prior to such transfer, furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf by a U.S. broker-dealer) to the Trustee (as defined in the
Indenture) a signed letter containing certain representations and agreements relating to the restrictions on transfer of the Securities (the form of which letter can be obtained from the Trustee), (iv) outside the United States in accordance
with Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act to non-U.S. persons, (v) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available), (vi) in accordance with another exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act (and based upon an opinion of counsel if the Issuer so requests) or (vii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and we further agree to provide to any person
purchasing any of the Securities from us a notice advising such purchaser that resales of the Securities are restricted as stated herein. 
 4. We are not acquiring the Securities for or on behalf of, and will not transfer the Securities to, any pension or welfare plan (as defined in Section 3 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended) or plan (as
defined in Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), except as permitted in the section entitled “Notice to Investors” of the Offering Circular. 
 5. We understand that, on any proposed resale of any Securities, we will be required to furnish to the Trustee and the Issuer such certification, legal
opinions and other information as the Trustee and the Issuer may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Securities purchased by us will bear a legend to the
foregoing effect. 
 6. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of
Regulation D under the Securities Act) and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Securities, and we and any accounts for which we are acting
are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their investment, as the case may be. 
 7. We are acquiring the Securities purchased by us
for our account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an institutional “accredited investor”) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion.
