 ARTICLE II 

THE NOTES 

Section 2.1. FORM AND DATING. 

(a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 of principal amount at maturity and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are
hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note
conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the
Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and
without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the
aggregate principal amount at maturity of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount at maturity of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as
appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount at maturity of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee
or the Notes Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.6. 

(c) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear
System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking Luxembourg” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream in effect at the relevant time shall be
applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream. 

Section 2.2. EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION. An Officer shall sign the Notes for the
Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. In the case of Definitive Notes, such signatures may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on such Notes. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is
authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or other authentication agent appointed by the Trustee as provided herein. The signature shall be conclusive
evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for issuance up to the aggregate
principal amount at maturity stated in such Authentication Order; provided that Notes authenticated for issuance on the Issue Date shall not exceed $586,000,000 in aggregate principal amount at maturity. In addition, at any time and from time
to time, the Trustee shall, upon an Authentication Order, authenticate Additional Notes or Exchange Notes for issuance up to the aggregate principal amount at maturity stated in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes or Exchange Notes
issued hereunder. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by
the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer. 
  

 31 









 Section 2.3. REGISTRAR, PAYING AGENT
AND DEPOSITARY. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented
for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The 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 shall 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. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as
Paying Agent or Registrar. The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent
and to act as Notes Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 
 Section 2.4. PAYING AGENT
TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of
Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default
continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other
than the Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying
Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

Section 2.5. HOLDER LISTS. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or shall cause the Registrar (if other than
the Issuer) to furnish, to the Trustee at such 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 the Holders of Notes and the Issuer shall
otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

EXCHANGE. 
 (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a
whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor
Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes if (i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that (x) the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary for the
Global Notes and the Issuer thereupon fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days or (y) the Depositary is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and the Issuer thereupon fails to appoint a successor Depositary

of the Trustee or Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount at maturity of outstanding Notes if there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes; provided that in no event shall
the Reg S Temporary Global Note be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes prior to (x) the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period and (y) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificate identified by the Issuer and its
counsel to be 
  

 32 









 
required pursuant to Rule 903 or Rule 904 under the Securities Act. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in
such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.7 and 2.10. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note
or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.6 or Section 2.7 or 2.10, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in

benefit of a U.S. Person. Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be

(h) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been
exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with
Section 2.11. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for
Definitive Notes, the principal amount at maturity of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement may be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to

governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.6, 4.12 and 4.13). 
 (iii)
The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 

(iv) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or
Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same Indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange.

transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.2 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection or
(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

truth or accuracy of representations made in any such certifications or certificates. 
 Section 2.7.
REPLACEMENT NOTES. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee and the Issuer receive evidence (which evidence may be from the Trustee) to their satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond
must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer
may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

 Section 2.8. OUTSTANDING NOTES. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes
authenticated by the Trustee (including any Note represented by a Global Note) except for those cancelled by it or at its direction, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in
accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.9, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, such Note ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. If the principal amount of any Note is
considered paid under Section 4.1, it ceases to be outstanding. If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or the maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on
that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding. 
 Section 2.9.
TREASURY NOTES. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount at maturity of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, or by any Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any
such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
  

 44 









 Section 2.10. TEMPORARY NOTES. Until certificates
representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have
variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for
temporary Notes. Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 2.11.
CANCELLATION. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer), and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or
cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer from time to time upon written request. The
Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.12. [RESERVED] 

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

Section 2.14. ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL NOTES. The Issuer may, subject to
Section 4.7 and applicable law, issue Additional Notes under this Indenture. The Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture. 

ARTICLE III

the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 

(h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP and other identifying numbers, if any, listed in such
notice or printed on the Notes. 
 At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee), an Officers’

Law) on overdue principal, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, at 11.500% per annum on the Notes from the due date to the extent lawful, which interest, insofar as it is in respect of overdue principal, shall, for the avoidance of
doubt, be in lieu of further accretion in respect of such overdue principal following the due date. 
 Section 4.2.
MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or
co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to
the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 The Issuer
may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice
to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with
Section 2.3 hereof. 
 Section 4.3. REPORTS TO HOLDERS. 

(a) Whether or not the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer will
deliver to the Trustee, within five days after the Issuer is or would have been (if the Issuer was subject to such reporting obligations) required to file such with the Commission, annual and quarterly financial statements substantially equivalent
to financial statements that would have been included in reports if the Issuer were subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, including, with respect to annual information only, a report thereon by the
Issuer’s certified independent public accountants, and, in each case, together with a management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations which would be so required and, from and after the registration of
the Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, unless the Commission will not accept such reports, file with the Commission the annual, quarterly and other reports which it is or would have been required to file with the Commission;
provided, however, that, unless otherwise required pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission, (A) no certifications or 

 

 48 









 
attestations concerning the financial statements or disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls that would otherwise be required pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will be
required to be included in or accompany any financial statements, (B) financial statements shall not be required to include any financial schedules required by Regulation S-X, (C) financial statements shall not be required pursuant to Rule
3-05 of Regulation S-X except in respect of completed acquisitions for the most recent fiscal year of the acquired business and subsequent interim periods, and shall not be required to include more information than the financial statements of the
Issuer, and (D) no financial statements of unconsolidated entities that would be required pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X shall be required. 

(b) Unless the information required by Section 4.3(a) to be delivered is electronically available on EDGAR (or any successor system
for reports with the Commission), including on a registration statement on Form S-4, the Issuer will distribute such information and such reports electronically to the Trustee, and will make them available upon request to any Holder, any beneficial
owner of the Notes, any prospective investor, any securities analyst and any market maker in the Notes by posting such information and reports on the Issuer’s website, Intralinks or any comparable online data system and the provision of such
information through such online data system shall satisfy the Issuer’s obligation to deliver such information pursuant to Section 4.3(a). 

(c) In the event that (1) the rules and regulations of the Commission permit the Issuer and any Parent Entity to report at such
Parent Entity’s level on a consolidated basis and (2) such Parent Entity is not engaged in any business in any material respect other than incidental to its ownership, directly or indirectly, of the Capital Stock of the Issuer and its
Affiliates, the information and reports required by this Section 4.3 may be those of such Parent Entity on a consolidated basis; provided that such information and reports distinguish in all material respects between the Issuer and its
Subsidiaries and such Parent Entity and its other subsidiaries, if any; provided, further, that if such Parent Entity’s capitalization (including cash, Cash Equivalents and Indebtedness) differs from that of the Issuer and its
Subsidiaries in any material respect, such information and reports will include annual and quarterly financial statements substantially equivalent to the financial statements that would have been included in reports filed with the Commission, if the
Issuer were subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, including, with respect to annual information only, a report thereon by the Issuer’s certified independent public accountants. 

(d) To the extent not satisfied by the foregoing, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, Holders and prospective purchasers that
are “qualified institutional buyers” (as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) shall have the right to obtain from the Issuer, upon request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under
the Securities Act. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer will not be deemed to have failed to
comply with any of its obligations under the foregoing clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 4.3 for purposes of Section 6.1(c) until 60 days after the date any financial statements or reports hereunder are due. 

(f) The Issuer will hold a conference call for all the Holders and securities analysts to discuss such financial information no later
than (i) ten Business Days after distribution of such information pursuant to Section 4.3(b) in the case of quarterly financial information other than for the end of a fiscal year, and (ii) fifteen Business Days after the distribution
of such information pursuant to Section 4.3(b) in the case of annual financial information, and, in each case, will give prior notice to Holders of such calls at least two Business Days prior to such conference call. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Issuer will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations under the foregoing for purposes of Section 6.1(c) until 10 days after receipt of a written notice from the Trustee or Holders of 25% in principal
amount at maturity of the outstanding Notes directing the Issuer to hold such conference call. 
  

 49 









 (g) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, no later than ten Business Days after the
Issuer actually delivers the annual financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(a) to the Trustee, a certificate of an Officer containing the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments that the Issuer and its Subsidiaries
could have made as of the end of the fiscal year covered by such annual financial statements pursuant to clause (3) of the first paragraph of Section 4.9. 

Section 4.4. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE. 

(a) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each of the Issuer’s fiscal years, an Officers’
Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Issuer and its Subsidiaries
have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to his or her knowledge the Issuer and its Subsidiaries are not in default in the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have
knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of the Notes is
prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

(b) The Issuer shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within five Business Days of any Officer
becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

Section 4.5. TAXES. The Issuer shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all
material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer to
satisfy its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture. 
 Section 4.6. STAY, EXTENSION
AND USURY LAWS. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit
or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no
such law has been enacted. 
 Section 4.7. LIMITATION ON INCURRENCE
OF ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS AND DISQUALIFIED CAPITAL STOCK. Except as set forth in this Section 4.7, the Issuer shall not, and shall not
permit any of the Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, issue, assume, guaranty, incur, become directly or indirectly liable with respect to (including as a result of an acquisition), or otherwise become responsible for, contingently or otherwise
(individually and collectively, to “incur” or, as appropriate, an “incurrence”), any Indebtedness (including Disqualified Capital Stock and Acquired Indebtedness), other than Permitted Indebtedness. 

 

 50 









 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if: 

(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or would occur after giving effect on a pro
forma basis to, such incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof; and 
 (2) on the date of such incurrence
(the “Incurrence Date”), the Issuer’s Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Reference Period immediately preceding the Incurrence Date for which internal financial statements of the Issuer are available, after giving effect on a
pro forma basis to such incurrence of such Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, would be at least 2.0 to 1.0 (the “Debt Incurrence Ratio”); 

then the Issuer and the Subsidiaries may incur such Indebtedness (including Disqualified Capital Stock and Acquired Indebtedness).

 In addition, the foregoing limitations of the first and second paragraphs of this Section 4.7 will not prohibit:

 (a) the Issuer’s incurrence or the incurrence by any Subsidiary of (1) Purchase Money Indebtedness, and any
Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof; provided that (A) the amount of such Indebtedness shall not constitute more than 100% of the Issuer’s cost or the cost to such Subsidiary (determined in accordance with GAAP in good faith
by the Issuer), as applicable, of the property so purchased, constructed, improved or leased, (B) such Indebtedness is not incurred to acquire the Capital Stock of any Person, and (C) the aggregate amount of such Indebtedness incurred and
outstanding at any time pursuant to this clause (1) shall not exceed $50,000,000; (2) Capital Lease Obligations; (3) Indebtedness for the financing of insurance premiums; and (4) any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of
Indebtedness described in clause (2) or (3); provided that the aggregate amount of such Indebtedness incurred and outstanding at any time pursuant to clauses (2), (3) and (4) of this clause (a) shall not exceed
$20,000,000;
 (b) the Issuer’s incurrence or the incurrence by any Subsidiary of Indebtedness in an aggregate amount
incurred and outstanding at any time pursuant to this clause (b) (including any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) of up to $25,000,000; 

(c) the Issuer’s incurrence or the incurrence by any Subsidiary of Indebtedness pursuant to the Credit Facilities in an aggregate
amount incurred and outstanding at any time pursuant to this clause (c) (including any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) of up to $1,225,000,000, with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the full amount
thereof, minus the amount of any such Indebtedness (1) retired with the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale applied to permanently reduce the outstanding amounts or the commitments with respect to such Indebtedness pursuant to clause
(b) of the third paragraph of Section 4.12 hereof or (2) assumed by a transferee in an Asset Sale; 
 (d) the
incurrence by any Foreign Subsidiary in an aggregate amount incurred and outstanding at any time pursuant to this clause (d) (including any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) of up to $20,000,000; and 

(e) Existing Indebtedness and the incurrence by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer of any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect
thereof. 
  

 51 









 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.7: 

(i) Indebtedness (including Disqualified Capital Stock) of any Person which is outstanding at the time such Person becomes
one of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries (including upon designation of any subsidiary or other Person as a Subsidiary) or is merged with or into or consolidated with the Issuer or one of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have been
incurred at the time such Person becomes or is designated one of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries or is merged with or into or consolidated with the Issuer or one of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries, as applicable. 

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.7, but only to avoid duplication, a guarantee of the
Issuer’s Indebtedness or of the Indebtedness of a Subsidiary incurred in accordance with the terms of this Indenture will not constitute a separate incurrence, or amount outstanding, of Indebtedness. Upon each incurrence the Issuer may
designate (and later redesignate) in the Issuer’s sole discretion pursuant to which provision of this Section 4.7 or the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” any Indebtedness is being incurred and the Issuer may subdivide an
amount of Indebtedness and designate (and later redesignate) more than one such provision pursuant to which such amount of Indebtedness is being incurred and such Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been incurred or outstanding under any other
provision of this Section 4.7 or the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” provided, however, that Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities that is outstanding as of the Issue Date (including any amounts subsequently drawn
under the revolving credit agreement in effect on the Issue Date), together with any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of such Indebtedness, shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 4.7 and not
any other provision. Accrual of interest or dividends on Disqualified Capital Stock, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends on Disqualified Capital Stock paid in kind, changes in obligations in respect of Hedging
Obligations, and any increase as a result of currency fluctuations will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.7. 

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, outstanding Indebtedness shall be determined without duplication of Refinancing
Indebtedness in respect thereof. 
 (iv) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was
incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause
the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so
long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. 

(v) The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency
from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 

 

 52 









 Section 4.8. LIMITATION ON LIENS. The
Issuer shall not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind, other than Permitted Liens, upon any of its assets owned or acquired on or after the Issue Date or upon any income or profits therefrom securing any of the Issuer’s
Indebtedness, unless the Issuer provides, concurrently therewith, that the Notes are equally and ratably so secured for so long as such other Indebtedness is secured by such Lien; provided that if such Indebtedness is Subordinated
Indebtedness, the Lien securing such Subordinated Indebtedness shall be contractually subordinate and junior to the Lien securing the Notes with the same relative priority as such Subordinated Indebtedness shall have with respect to the Notes.

 Section 4.9. LIMITATION ON RESTRICTED PAYMENTS. The Issuer
shall not, and shall not permit any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment if, after giving effect to such Restricted Payment on a pro forma basis: 

(1) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(2) the Issuer is not permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt Incurrence Ratio set forth in
Section 4.7 (provided that Restricted Payments constituting Restricted Investments shall not be subject to this clause (2)); or 

(3) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries, including after giving effect
to such proposed Restricted Payment on and after the Issue Date, would exceed, without duplication, the sum of: 

(a) 50% of the Issuer’s aggregate Consolidated Net Income for the period (taken as one accounting period) commencing
on the first day of the first full fiscal quarter in which the Issue Date occurs to and including the last day of the most recent fiscal period for which internal financial statements are available (or, in the event Consolidated Net Income for such
period is a deficit, then minus 100% of such deficit), plus 
 (b) 100% of the aggregate amount received
in cash, less the cost of disposition, by means of: 
 (i) the sale or other disposition (other than to the
Issuer or a Subsidiary) of Restricted Investments made by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries and repurchases and redemptions of such Restricted Investments from the Issuer or its Subsidiaries and repayments of loans or advances, and releases of
guarantees, which constitute Restricted Investments by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries, in each case after the Issue Date; or 

(ii) the sale (other than to the Issuer or a Subsidiary) of the stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a distribution from
an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than in each case to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by the Issuer or a Subsidiary pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of the following paragraph of this Section 4.9 or to the
extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment) or a dividend from an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date; plus 

(c) in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary after the Issue Date, the Fair Market
Value of the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time of the redesignation of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary, not to exceed the amount of Investments previously made by the Issuer or any Subsidiary in such Person through
the designation of such Person as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, or to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment; plus 
  

 53 









 (d) $7,800,000. 

The foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.9, however, will not prohibit:

 (a) (i) other Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (a)(i) in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$10,000,000, and (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, repurchases of Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Parent Entity (including payment of cash dividends to such Parent Entity to fund such
repurchases of Equity Interests), or regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Restricted Payments in the form of repurchase of Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Parent Entity in exchange for
Subordinated Indebtedness described in clause (13) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” in each case, from the Issuer’s employees, distributors or directors (or their heirs or estates) or employees or directors (or
their heirs or estates) of any Parent Entity or Subsidiary of the Issuer upon death, disability, retirement or termination of employment; provided that such repurchases are made with the proceeds of such dividends within ten Business Days of
the payment of such dividends; provided, further, that the aggregate amount of such repurchases (x) in any calendar year does not exceed $5,000,000, with unused amounts in any calendar year being carried over to the immediately
succeeding calendar year and (y) the aggregate amount of such repurchases after the Issue Date shall not exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate; provided, still further, that such amounts specified above relating to calendar and
aggregate limits may be increased by an amount equal to 
 (A) the cash proceeds from the sale of Equity
Interests (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of the Issuer and, to the extent contributed to the Issuer, Equity Interests of any Parent Entity, in each case to members of management, directors or consultants of the Issuer, any of its
Subsidiaries or any Parent Entity that occurs after the Issue Date, to the extent the cash proceeds from the sale of such Equity Interests have not otherwise been applied to the payment of Restricted Payments by virtue of clause (3) of the
first paragraph of this Section 4.9; plus 
 (B) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies
received by the Issuer or any Subsidiary after the Issue Date; less 
 (C) the amount of any Restricted Payments
previously made with the cash proceeds described in clauses (A) and (B) of this clause (a)(ii);

so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Capital Stock issued after the Issue Date in accordance with Section 4.7
to the extent such dividends are included in the definition of “Consolidated Fixed Charges”; 
 (c) the
repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness (i) with Excess Proceeds to the extent such Excess Proceeds are permitted to be used for general corporate purposes under Section 4.12 or
(ii) with, after the completion of a Change in Control Offer pursuant to the terms of Section 4.13, cash offered to redeem Notes pursuant to such Change of Control Offer less any cash paid to Holders of the Notes pursuant to such Change in
Control Offer;

(f) the payment of any dividend on shares of Capital Stock within 60 days after the date of its declaration if such
dividend could have been made on the date of such declaration in compliance with the foregoing provisions; 
 (g)

(h) payments to a Parent Entity (or a subsidiary of a Parent Entity), pursuant to this clause (h), (1) to enable the
Parent Entity to pay Federal, state or local tax liabilities (any such payments to a Parent Entity, a “Tax Payment”), not to exceed the amount of any tax liabilities that would be otherwise payable by the Issuer and its United
States subsidiaries to the appropriate taxing authorities to the extent that the Parent Entity has an obligation to pay such tax liabilities relating to the operations, assets, or capital of the Issuer or its United States subsidiaries;
provided that (x) notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of determining the amount of a Tax Payment that is permitted to be paid by the Issuer and any of its United States subsidiaries in respect of their consolidated Federal income
tax liability, or consolidated, combined, unitary or group, state or local income tax liability, such payment shall be determined assuming that the Issuer is the parent company of an affiliated group (the “Issuer Affiliated Group”)
filing a consolidated Federal income tax return or consolidated, combined, unitary, or group, state or local income tax return, and that the Parent Entity and each such United States subsidiary is a member of the Issuer Affiliated Group and
(y) any Tax Payments shall either be used by the Parent Entity to pay such tax liabilities within 90 days of the Parent Entity’s (or a subsidiary of a Parent Entity) receipt of such payment or refunded to the payee, (2) in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000 during any calendar year, in each case in order to pay legal and accounting expenses, payroll and other compensation expenses in the ordinary course of business, and filing and listing fees and other
corporate overhead expenses in the ordinary course of business, and (3) in order to pay the fees and expenses, other than to Affiliates of the Issuer, related to any unsuccessful equity offering of such Parent Entity. For purposes of this
clause (h), “tax liabilities” shall include any penalties and interest related to a tax liability; 

(i) payments of cash, or dividends, distributions or advances to any Parent Entity to make payments of cash, in lieu of
the issuance of fractional shares upon the exercise of warrants or upon the conversion or exchange of, or issuance of Capital Stock in lieu of cash dividends on, any Capital Stock of the Issuer or any Parent Entity, up to an aggregate amount
pursuant to this clause (i) not to exceed $1,000,000; 
 (j) [RESERVED]; and 

(k) the Special Dividend. 

The full amount of any Restricted Payment made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (b), (c) and (d) (but not pursuant to
clause (a), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i) or (k)) of the immediately preceding sentence, however, will be counted as Restricted Payments made for purposes of the calculation of the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments available to be made referred
to in clause (3) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.9. 
  

 55 









 For purposes of this Section 4.9, the amount of any Restricted Payment made or

any contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction with any Affiliate (an “Affiliate Transaction”), or any series of related Affiliate Transactions (other than Exempted Affiliate Transactions), (1) unless it is determined that
the terms of such Affiliate Transactions are fair and reasonable to the Issuer, and no less favorable to the Issuer than could have been obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-Affiliate, (2) if involving consideration to either
party in excess of $10,000,000, unless such Affiliate Transaction(s) has been approved by a majority of the members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (including a majority of members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors that are

consummation thereof, obtains a written favorable opinion, which opinion can be subject to customary qualifications, as to the fairness of such transaction to the Issuer from a financial point of view from an independent investment banking firm of
national reputation in the United States or an appraisal or valuation firm of national reputation in the United States. Within 10 days of any Affiliate Transaction(s) involving consideration to either party in excess of $10,000,000 (other than
Exempted Affiliate Transactions), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate addressed to the Trustee certifying that such Affiliate Transaction(s) were made in compliance with this Indenture and a copy of the board

 Section 4.12. LIMITATION
ON SALE OF ASSETS AND SUBSIDIARY STOCK. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, in one or a series of related
transactions, convey, sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of their property, business or assets, including by merger or consolidation (in the case of one of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries), and

  

 57 









 
including any sale or other transfer or issuance of any Equity Interests of any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries, whether by the Issuer or one of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries or through the
issuance, sale or transfer of Equity Interests by one of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries and including any sale and leaseback transaction, other than in any such case to the Issuer or another Subsidiary and other than sales of Disqualified Capital
Stock in compliance with Section 4.7 (any of the foregoing, an “Asset Sale”), unless: 
 (1) at least 75%
of the total consideration for such Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales consists of cash, Cash Equivalents, Related Business Assets or a combination thereof; 

(2) with respect to any Asset Sale or related series of Asset Sales involving a conveyance, sale, transfer, assignment or other
disposition of securities, property or assets with an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $10,000,000, senior management determines in good faith that the Issuer shall receive or such Subsidiary shall receive, as applicable, Fair Market Value
for such Asset Sale; and 
 (3) with respect to any Asset Sale or related series of Asset Sales involving a conveyance, sale,
transfer, assignment or other disposition of securities, property or assets with an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $15,000,000, the Issuer’s Board of Directors determines in good faith that the Issuer shall receive or such Subsidiary
shall receive, as applicable, Fair Market Value for such Asset Sale. 
 For purposes of clause (1) above of this
Section 4.12, the following shall be deemed cash consideration: (x) Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer) or balance sheet liabilities (other than contingent liabilities) assumed by a transferee in connection
with such Asset Sale; provided that the Issuer is and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries are fully released from obligations in connection therewith; (y) property that within 135 days of such Asset Sale is converted into cash or Cash
Equivalents; and (z) any non-cash consideration received by the Issuer or such Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other non-cash consideration received pursuant to this clause
(z) not to exceed $25,000,000, with the Fair Market Value of each item of non-cash consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value. 

Within 365 days following such Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom (the “Asset Sale Amount”) may be: 

(a) invested in Related Business Assets or used to make Restricted Investments that are not prohibited by Section 4.9; 

(b) used to retire Indebtedness of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries; provided that if such Indebtedness is Indebtedness under the
Credit Facilities, the Issuer or its Subsidiaries will permanently reduce the amount of Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause (c) of Section 4.7; provided, further, that in the case of a revolver or
similar arrangement that makes credit available, such commitment is permanently reduced by such amount; 
 (c) applied to the
optional redemption of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and to the optional redemption of other Indebtedness pari passu with the Notes with similar provisions requiring the Issuer to repurchase such Indebtedness with
the proceeds from such Asset Sale, pro rata in proportion to the Accreted Value of the Notes and the principal amount (or accreted values in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) of such other Indebtedness then
outstanding; or 
 (d) applied in any combination of the foregoing. 

 

 58 









 Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit
borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 The accumulated
Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales not applied as set forth in the preceding paragraph shall constitute “Excess Proceeds”. Within 30 days after the date that the amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25,000,000, the Issuer shall apply
an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds (rounded down to the nearest $1,000) (the “Asset Sale Offer Amount”) by making an offer to repurchase the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness with similar provisions requiring
the Issuer to make an offer to purchase such Indebtedness with such Excess Proceeds pursuant to a cash offer (subject only to conditions required by applicable law, if any), pro rata in proportion to the Accreted Value of the Notes and the
principal amount (or accreted values in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) of such other Indebtedness then outstanding (the “Asset Sale Offer”). The Issuer will offer to purchase the Notes in the Asset
Sale Offer at a purchase price of 100% of the Accreted Value of the Notes (the “Asset Sale Offer Price”). Each Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for 20 Business Days following its commencement (the “Asset Sale Offer
Period”). 
 Upon expiration of the Asset Sale Offer Period, the Issuer shall apply the Asset Sale Offer Amount to the
purchase of all Indebtedness properly tendered in accordance with the provisions hereof (on a pro rata basis if the Asset Sale Offer Amount is insufficient to purchase all Indebtedness so tendered) at the Asset Sale Offer Price, together with
Additional Amounts, if any, in the case of any Notes that have been tendered, and the price required by the terms of any such other pari passu Indebtedness with similar provisions requiring the Issuer to make an offer to purchase such
Indebtedness with the proceeds from such Asset Sale. To the extent that the aggregate purchase price for the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount, the
Issuer may use any remaining Net Cash Proceeds for general corporate purposes as otherwise permitted by this Indenture and following the consummation of each Asset Sale Offer the Excess Proceeds amount shall be reset to zero. 

Notwithstanding, and without complying with, the provisions of this Section 4.12: 

(1) the Issuer may and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries may, in the ordinary course of business, convey, sell, transfer, assign or
otherwise dispose of inventory and other assets acquired and held for resale in the ordinary course of business;

(5) the Issuer may and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries may surrender or waive contract rights or settle, release or surrender contract,
tort or other litigation claims in the ordinary course of business; 
 (6) the Issuer may and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries may
grant Liens (and permit foreclosure thereon) not prohibited by this Indenture; 
  

 59 









 (7) the Issuer may and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries may sell or grant licenses to use the
Issuer’s or any Subsidiary’s intellectual property or other general intangibles in the ordinary course of business, other than the licensing of intellectual property on a long-term basis; 

(8) the Issuer may and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries may sell assets received by the Issuer or any Subsidiary upon the foreclosure on a
Lien; 
 (9) the Issuer may and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries may sell or exchange equipment in connection with the purchase or
other acquisition of other equipment; 
 (10) the Issuer may and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries may dispose any Capital Stock or
other ownership interest in or assets or rights of an Unrestricted Subsidiary; 
 (11) the Issuer may and the Issuer’s
Subsidiaries may make conveyances, sales, assignments or other dispositions that constitute Permitted Investments (excluding clauses (1), (2), (3) and (6) in the definition thereof) and Restricted Payments not prohibited by
Section 4.9; 
 (12) the Issuer may, and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries may, in one or a series of related transactions,
sell or dispose of assets for which the Issuer or the Issuer’s Subsidiaries receive aggregate consideration of less than $10,000,000;

may dispose of property or assets to another Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer;

to the extent allowable under Section 1031 of the Code or any comparable or successor provision, engage in any exchange of like property (excluding any boot thereon) for use in a Related Business; 

(15) the Issuer and its Subsidiaries may lease, assign or sub-lease any real or personal property in the ordinary course of business;

 (16) foreclosures, condemnation or any similar action on assets shall not be subject to this Section 4.12; 

(17) the Issuer and its Subsidiaries may sell or discount inventory, accounts receivable or notes receivable in the ordinary course of
business or convert accounts receivable to notes receivable in the ordinary course of business; 
 (18) the Issuer and its
Subsidiaries may unwind any Hedging Obligation; and 
 (19) the Issuer and its Subsidiaries may sell or otherwise dispose of
properties or assets located at the following locations: (i) 13200 Automobile Blvd., Clearwater, FL 33762 (aka 4650 Ulmerton Road), Pinellas County; (ii) 3200 Hanson St., Unit 2, Ft. Myers, FL 33916-7513, Lee County; (iii) 900 Farmers

All Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 from an Event of Loss shall be reinvested or used as otherwise provided above in clauses
(a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 4.12. 
  

 60 









 Any Asset Sale Offer shall be made in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, including, if applicable, Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and all other applicable Federal and state securities laws. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions of this paragraph, the Issuer’s compliance or the compliance of any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries with such laws and regulations shall not in and of itself cause a breach of the Issuer’s obligations under
this Section 4.12. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, except for transactions in accordance with
Article V as a result of which the Issuer or its successor will continue to own, directly or indirectly, all of the equity interests of Goodman Global, Inc. (or any successor corporation thereof), the Issuer will not sell, transfer, assign or
otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of its equity interests in Goodman Global, Inc. (or any successor corporation thereof) or permit Goodman Global, Inc. (or any successor corporation thereof) to issue any additional equity interests
(other than to the Issuer or any direct or indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer, and other than Disqualified Capital Stock). 

Section 4.13. REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT THE
OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event that a Change of Control has occurred, each Holder of
Notes will have the right, at such Holder’s option, pursuant to an offer (subject only to conditions required by applicable law, if any) by the Issuer (the “Change of Control Offer”), to require the Issuer to repurchase all or
any part of such Holder’s Notes (provided that the principal amount at maturity of such Notes must be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) on a date (the “Change of Control Purchase Date”) that is
no later than 60 calendar days after the occurrence of such Change of Control, at a cash price equal to 101% of the Accreted Value thereof (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”), together with Additional Amounts, if any, as of the
Change of Control Purchase Date. 
 The Change of Control Offer shall be made within 30 calendar days following a Change of
Control and shall remain open for 20 Business Days following its commencement, or such other period as may be required by applicable law (the “Change of Control Offer Period”). Upon expiration of the Change of Control Offer Period,
the Issuer shall purchase all Notes properly tendered in response to the Change of Control Offer. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set
forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer, including any requirements to repay in full all Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities, any of the Issuer’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ other
Indebtedness or alternatively, obtain the consents of such lenders to such Change of Control Offer as set forth in the following paragraph, and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) the
Issuer has previously or concurrently mailed a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described above in Section 3.7. 

Prior to the commencement of a Change of Control Offer, but in any event within 60 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will:

 (1) (a) repay or cause to be repaid in full in cash and terminate all commitments under Indebtedness under the Credit
Facilities and all other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries the terms of which require repayment upon a Change of Control or (b) offer (or cause a Subsidiary to offer) to repay in full and terminate all commitments under all
Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities and all such other Indebtedness and repay the Indebtedness owed to each creditor which has accepted such offer in full; or 

(2) obtain the requisite consents under the Credit Facilities and all such other Indebtedness to permit the repurchase of the Notes as
provided herein. 
  

 61 









 The Issuer’s failure to comply with the preceding sentence shall constitute an Event of Default
described in Section 6.1(c). 
 On or before the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Issuer will: 

(1) accept for payment Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to pay the Change of Control Purchase Price (together with Additional Amounts, if any)
of all Notes so tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an
Officers’ Certificate listing the Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Issuer. 
 The Issuer will promptly pay
or cause to be paid to the Holders of the Notes so accepted an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price (together with Additional Amounts, if any) and the Trustee promptly will authenticate and deliver to such Holders a new Note equal in
principal amount at maturity to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Notes not so accepted will be delivered promptly by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer
on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Purchase Date. 
 Any Change of Control Offer will be made in
compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, if applicable, Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder and all other applicable Federal and state securities laws. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.13, the Issuer’s compliance with such laws and regulations shall not in and of itself cause a breach of their obligations under this Section 4.13.

 Section 4.14. [RESERVED]. 

Section 4.15. [RESERVED]. 

Section 4.16. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES AND INSURANCE.
The Issuer shall cause all material properties used or useful to the conduct of its business and the business of each of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and
supplied with all necessary equipment and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in its reasonable judgment may be necessary, so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.16 shall prevent the Issuer from discontinuing any operation or maintenance of any of such properties, or disposing of any of them, if
such discontinuance or disposal is (a)(i) in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, desirable in the conduct of the business of such entity and (ii) would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer to satisfy
its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture, and, to the extent applicable, or (b) as otherwise permitted under Section 4.12. 

The Issuer shall provide, or cause to be provided, for itself and each of its Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate
self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds that, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Issuer is adequate and appropriate for the conduct of the business of the Issuer and such Subsidiaries. 

 

 62 









 Section 4.17. CORPORATE EXISTENCE. Subject to Article V
hereof, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (a) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with
the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Issuer or any such Subsidiary and (b) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries; provided,
however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof
is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer to satisfy its obligations under the Notes
and this Indenture. 
 Section 4.18. [RESERVED]. 

Section 4.19. SUSPENSION OF COVENANTS. During any period of time that (a) the
Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (b) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) being collectively
referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Issuer and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries will not be subject to Section 4.7, Section 4.9, Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.12 and clause (3) of
Section 5.1 (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). In the event that the Issuer and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the
foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies (x) withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to such series of Notes below an Investment Grade
Rating and/or (y) the Issuer or any of its Affiliates enters into an agreement to effect a transaction that would result in a Change of Control and one or both of the Rating Agencies indicate that if consummated, such transaction (alone or
together with any related recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause such Rating Agency to withdraw its Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the ratings assigned to such series of Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the
Issuer and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events, including, without limitation, a proposed transaction described in clause (y) of this
paragraph. Notwithstanding any provision in this Indenture to the contrary, during the period beginning on the date of a Covenant Suspension Event and ending on a Reversion Date (a “Suspension Period”), (A) the amount of Excess
Proceeds from Asset Sales shall be reset to zero and (B) no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer or any Subsidiary prior to the Reversion Date will give rise to a Default or Event of Default, provided that (A) with
respect to Restricted Payments made after the Reversion Date, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though the limitations contained in Section 4.9 had been in effect prior to, but not during, such Suspension Period and
(B) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Capital Stock issued, during such Suspension Period will be deemed to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.7(e).

SUCCESSORS 

Section 5.1. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF
ASSETS. The Issuer shall not consolidate with or merge with or into another Person or, directly or indirectly, sell, lease, convey or transfer all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets (such amounts to be computed on a
consolidated basis), whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, to another Person or group of affiliated Persons or adopt a plan of liquidation, unless: 

(1) either (a) the Issuer is the continuing entity or (b) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity or, in the case of a
plan of liquidation, the entity which receives the greatest value from such plan of liquidation, is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes by supplemental
indenture all of the Issuer’s obligations in connection with the Notes and this Indenture; 
  

 63 









 (2) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or shall occur immediately after giving
effect on a pro forma basis to such transaction; and 
 (3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a
pro forma basis, either (a) the consolidated resulting, surviving or transferee entity would immediately thereafter be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt Incurrence Ratio set forth in
Section 4.7 or (b) so long as the Debt Incurrence Ratio prior to such transaction is greater than 1.25 to 1.0, the Debt Incurrence Ratio for the resulting, surviving or transferee entity would be greater than such ratio for the Issuer and
its Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction. 
 Notwithstanding clauses (2) and (3) of this Section 5.1, (a) any
Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer, and (b) the Issuer may merge with a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reorganizing the Issuer in
the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. 

Section 5.2. SUCCESSOR CORPORATION SUBSTITUTED. Upon any consolidation or merger or any
transfer of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets in accordance with the foregoing, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Issuer is merged or to which such transfer is made shall succeed to and
(except in the case of a lease or any transfer of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets) be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor
corporation had been named therein as the Issuer, and (except in the case of a lease or any transfer of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets) the Issuer shall be released from the obligations under the Notes and this Indenture except
with respect to any obligations that arise from, or are related to, such transaction. 
 For purposes of the foregoing, the
transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries, the Issuer’s interest in which constitutes all or substantially all of the Issuer’s properties and
assets, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s properties and assets.

(f) a court having jurisdiction in the premises enters a decree or order for (A) relief in respect of the Issuer or any Significant
Subsidiary in an involuntary case under any applicable Bankruptcy Law now or hereafter in effect, (B) appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, Custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or any Significant
Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or (C) the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary and, in each case, such decree or
order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or 
 (g) the Issuer or any Significant
Subsidiary (A) commences a voluntary case under any applicable Bankruptcy Law now or hereafter in effect, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, (B) consents to the appointment of or

Subsidiary or (C) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors. 
 If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee must,
within 90 days after the receipt of notice of such Default, give to the Holders notice of such Default. 
 Section 6.2.
ACCELERATION. (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(f) or (g) hereof relating to the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Significant Subsidiaries), then
in every such case, unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing
to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) (an “Acceleration Notice”), may declare all principal (up to the Accreted Value), and Additional Amounts, if any, thereon, to be due and payable immediately. In the event a
declaration of acceleration resulting from an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(d) hereof has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if (i) the Indebtedness that is the basis
for such Event of Default has been discharged, (ii) such default is cured, (iii) such default is waived or (iv) the Holders of the Indebtedness which is the subject of such default have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in
respect of such Indebtedness within 30 days thereof and, with respect to clauses (iii) or (iv), the Trustee has received written notice of such waiver or rescission within 30 days of the declaration of such acceleration in respect of such
Indebtedness. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(f) or (g) hereof, relating to the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Significant Subsidiaries occurs, all principal (up to the Accreted Value) and Additional Amounts, if any,
thereon will be immediately due and payable on all outstanding Notes without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of

  

 65 









 
Notes generally are authorized to rescind such acceleration if all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal (up to the Accreted Value) of, premium, if any, and
Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes which have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived. 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Indenture, the amount of principal of any Note due at any time, including if such Note is
accelerated, redeemed, paid at maturity or subject to an offer to purchase, shall not exceed the Accreted Value of such Note at such time (plus any Additional Amounts that may be payable on such Note). 

(b) Prior to the declaration of acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at
maturity of the Notes at the time outstanding may waive on behalf of all the Holders any Default, except a Default in the payment of principal on any Note not yet cured; provided, however, that no waiver shall be effective against any Holder
for any Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would be an Event of Default with respect to any covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note
affected thereby, unless all such affected Holders agree, in writing, to waive such Event of Default or other event. No such waiver shall cure or waive any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.3. OTHER REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue
any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A
delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.4. WAIVER OF PAST
DEFAULTS. Subject to Section 6.7 hereof, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may, on behalf of all
Holders, waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences under this Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, and Additional Amounts, if any, on the
Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences,
including any related Payment Default that resulted from such acceleration. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right arising therefrom. 

Section 6.5. CONTROL BY MAJORITY. Subject to the provisions of this Indenture and
applicable law, Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of
Notes not joining in the giving of such direction or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability and the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of the Notes.

  

 66 









 Section 6.6. LIMITATION ON SUITS. Except
to enforce the right to receive payment of principal of, and premium and Additional Amounts, if any, a Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if: 

(a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the
Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense; 
 (d) the Trustee does not comply with the
request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and 
 (e)
during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another
Holder of a Note. 
 Section 6.7. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF
NOTES TO RECEIVE PAYMENT. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, except as permitted by Section 9.2, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the
principal of, and premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or
affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.8. COLLECTION SUIT
BY TRUSTEE. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the
Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, and premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and premium and Additional Amounts, if any, 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 6.9. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF
CLAIM. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and
empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other

  

 67 









 
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out
of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and may be a
member of the creditor’s committee. 
 Section 6.10. PRIORITIES. If the Trustee collects any money
pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee, its agents and
attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.7, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection (including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel); 
 Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts
due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and premium and Additional Amounts, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium and Additional Amounts, if any,
respectively; and 
 Third: to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

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

Section 6.11. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and
the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This
Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes. 

ARTICLE VII 

TRUSTEE 

Section 7.1. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE. (a) If an Event of Default of which the Trustee has
knowledge has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of
which the Trustee has knowledge: 
 (i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

  

 68 









 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the
certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c) The Trustee may
not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

(i) this paragraph (c) does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1; 

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is
proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (iii) the Trustee shall not be
liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5 hereof. 

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to
Sections 7.1 and 7.2. 
 (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur
any liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it
against any loss, liability or expense. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except
as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

Section 7.2. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. (a) In connection with the Trustee’s rights and
duties under this Indenture, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of
such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent
appointed with due care.

believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
  

 69 









 (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction
or notice from the Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer. 
 (f) The Trustee shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses
and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (g) Except with respect to
Section 4.1, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Issuer’s covenants in Article IV hereof. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except

Indenture. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 4.3 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained
therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of their covenants thereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). 

(h) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee may, in its discretion, make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit. 
 Section 7.3. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF
TRUSTEE. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the TIA) it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified
under the TIA) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

Section 7.4. TRUSTEE’S DISCLAIMER. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and
makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any
provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes
or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 

Section 7.5. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is
continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice in the manner and to the extent provided by Section 313(c) of the TIA of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in
the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, or premium or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Officers in good faith determines that withholding
the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. 
  

 70 









 Section 7.6. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE
TO HOLDERS OF THE NOTES. Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain
outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the 12 months preceding the
reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed by the Trustee to the Issuer and filed with the
Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 

Section 7.7. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time
to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee
promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the
Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer
(including this Section 7.7) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except
to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify
the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses
of such counsel. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money
or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, and premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on any of the Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.1(f) or 6.1(g) hereof occurs,
the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

Section 7.8. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and
appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.8. 
  


 71 









 The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby
created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of Notes of a majority in principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; 

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy
Law; 
 (c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the
Issuer. 
 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 Notes of at least 10% in principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

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

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders
of the Notes. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided, all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.7.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.9. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC. If the
Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

Section 7.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a
corporation or trust company (or a member of a bank holding company) organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has (or the bank holding company of which it is a member has) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual
report of condition. 
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1),
(2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b). 
  

 72 









 Section 7.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF
CLAIMS AGAINST ISSUER. The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA
§ 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

AND SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 8.1. OPTION TO EFFECT LEGAL DEFEASANCE
OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The Issuer may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.2 or
8.3 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII. 

Section 8.2. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. Upon the Issuer’s
exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.4, be deemed to have been discharged from its
obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes 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 Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.5 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses
(a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes 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: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.4 hereof, and as more fully set
forth in Section 8.4, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article II and
Section 4.2, (c) the rights, powers, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article VIII. Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuer may
exercise its option under this Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.3. 

Section 8.3. COVENANT DEFEASANCE. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 of the option
applicable to this Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.4, the Issuer shall be released from its obligations under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13,
4.16, 4.17 and 4.19 and clause (3) of Section 5.1 on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not
“outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all
other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, 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 a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes
shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof,
(x) Sections 6.1(c) through 6.1(e) shall not constitute Events of Default and (y) Sections 6.1(f) and 6.1(g) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default to the extent they occur after the 91st day following the occurrence of the
Issuer’s exercise of Covenant Defeasance; provided, however that for all other purposes as set forth herein, such Covenant Defeasance provisions shall be effective. 

 

 73 









 Section 8.4. CONDITIONS TO LEGAL
OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.2 or 8.3 to the outstanding Notes: 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 

(a) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States legal tender,

principal of, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Trustee must have, for the benefit of Holders of the Notes, a valid, perfected
exclusive security interest in such trust;

the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel which opinion can be subject to customary qualifications reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a
ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(c) in the case of an election under Section 8.3, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel which opinion can be
subject to customary qualifications reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to
federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(d) no Default or Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and
simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and in each case the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the deposit and, in the case of an election under Section 8.2, no Event of
Default specified in Section 6.1(f) or (g) hereof may occur at any time from the date of the deposit to the 91st calendar day thereafter; 

(e) the Defeasance may not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under this Indenture or a default under any other
material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 

(f) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the
intent to hinder, delay or defraud any other of the Issuer’s creditors; and 
 (g) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee
an Officers’ Certificate confirming the satisfaction of the conditions in clauses (a) through (f) above, and an Opinion of Counsel, confirming the satisfaction of the conditions in clauses (a) (with respect to the validity and
perfection of the security interest), (b), (c) and (e). 
  

 74 









 If the amount deposited with the Trustee to effect a Defeasance is insufficient to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes when due, or if any court enters an order directing the repayment of the deposit to us or otherwise making the deposit unavailable to make payments under the Notes when due,
then (so long as the insufficiency exists or the order remains in effect) the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes will be revived, and the Defeasance will be deemed not to have occurred. 

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance shall be deemed to occur on the day on which all of the applicable
conditions set forth in this Section 8.4 are satisfied (which shall not be earlier than the
91st day after the date of the deposit described in
Section 8.4(a) in the case of Legal Defeasance). 
 Section 8.5. DEPOSITED MONEY
AND GOVERNMENT SECURITIES TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
Subject to Section 8.6, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the “Trustee”)
pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof, other than any such tax, fee or
other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Anything in this Article VIII to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.4 which, in the opinion of a firm of
independent public accountants nationally recognized in the United States expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.4(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that
would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.6.
REPAYMENT TO ISSUER. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its written request or (if then
held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as a creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the written direction and expense of
the Issuer cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. 

Section 8.7. REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States legal tender or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3, as the case may be, by reason of any order directing the repayment of the deposited money to the Issuer or 

 

 75 









 
otherwise making the deposit unavailable to make payments under the Notes when due, or if any court enters an order avoiding the deposit of money with the Trustee or Paying Agent or otherwise
requires the payment of the money so deposited to the Issuer or to a fund for the benefit of its creditors, then (so long as the insufficiency exists or the order remains in effect) the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.3 or 8.4, as the case may be;
provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders
of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 Section 8.8.
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes) as to all outstanding
Notes when either: 
 (a) All outstanding Notes, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and
Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(b) (1) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a
notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars,
non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire
Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any; 

(2) the Issuer shall have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the
payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be; 
 (3) such deposit does and will
not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under this Indenture or a default under any other material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries are a party or are otherwise bound;

 (4) the Issuer shall have paid all other amounts payable by the Issuer under this Indenture; 

(5) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by
the Issuer with intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any other of the Issuer’s creditors; and 
 (6) the
Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion can be subject to customary qualifications, confirming the satisfaction of the conditions in clause (3) above. 

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 8.8 and upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall acknowledge in
writing the discharge of this Indenture and the Notes.

 ARTICLE IX 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

Section 9.1. WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF
NOTES. Notwithstanding Section 9.2, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes, without the consent of any Holder of a Note: 

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

(b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of Definitive Notes or to alter the provisions of Article II hereof
(including the related definitions) in a manner that does not materially adversely affect any Holder; 
 (c) to provide for the
assumption of the Issuer’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes by a successor to the Issuer pursuant to Article V hereof; 

(d) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect
the rights hereunder of any Holder of the Notes; 
 (e) to comply with the provisions of the Depositary, Euroclear or
Clearstream or the Trustee with respect to the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes relating to transfers and exchanges of Notes or beneficial interests therein; 

(f) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

 (g) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the
date hereof; and 
 (h) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of
notes” section of the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the “Description of notes” section of the Offering Memorandum was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture or the Notes, which
intent may be evidenced by a certificate of an Officer to that effect. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a
resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.6, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of
any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such
amended or supplemental Indenture that adversely affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

Section 9.2. WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF
NOTES. Except as expressly stated otherwise in this Section 9.2, and subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and the Notes, with the consent of the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes (including, without limitation, the Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class) then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or
tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or premium or Additional Amounts, if any, on
the Notes, except a Payment Default resulting 
  

 77 









 
from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). 

Subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding voting
as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer or any Subsidiary with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. 

However, without the consent of each Holder affected (it being understood that, except as expressly stated otherwise in paragraphs
(a) through (e) below, Sections 4.12 and 4.13 may be amended, waived or modified in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 9.2) an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

 (a) change the Stated Maturity of any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or change the calculation of Accreted
Value so as to reduce the Accreted Value at any time, or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof at the Issuer’s option, or change the coin or currency in which, any Note or any premium or thereon is payable, or impair the right to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption at the Issuer’s option, on or after the redemption date), or after an Asset Sale or Change of Control has occurred
reduce the Change of Control Purchase Price or the Asset Sale Offer Price with respect to the corresponding Asset Sale or Change of Control or alter the provisions (including the defined terms used therein) regarding the Issuer’s right to
redeem the Notes at the Issuer’s option in a manner adverse to the Holders; 
 (b) reduce the percentage in principal
amount at maturity of the outstanding Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver provided for in this Indenture; 

(c) modify any of the waiver provisions, except to increase any required percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this
Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby; or 
 (d)
make any changes to the foregoing clauses (a) through (c) or this clause (d) hereof, in a manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes. 

In connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Article IX, the Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, offer to any
Holder who consents to such amendment, supplement or waiver, or to all Holders, consideration for such Holder’s consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.6 hereof, the
Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in
which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 
  

 78 









 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this
Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders of Notes
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 amended or supplemental
Indenture or waiver. 
 Section 9.3. COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST
INDENTURE ACT. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 

Section 9.4. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS. Until an
amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective (as determined by the Issuer and which may be prior to any such amendment, supplement or waiver becoming operative), a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a
Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same Indebtedness as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent
Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective (as determined by the Issuer), which may be prior to any such
amendment, supplement or waiver becoming operative. 
 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 the date so fixed by the Issuer notwithstanding the provisions of the TIA. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the
last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date, and only those Persons (or their duly designated proxies), shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such
Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall
bind every Holder unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (a) through (d) of Section 9.2, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every
subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal and premium
and Additional Amounts, if any, on a Note, on or after the respective dates set for such amounts to become due and payable expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates.

 Section 9.5. NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF
NOTES. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that
reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect
the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Section 9.6. TRUSTEE TO
SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties,
liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer 
  

 79 









 
may not sign an amended or supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

3. We understand that, on any proposed resale of the Notes or beneficial interest therein, we will be required to furnish to you and the
