 “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, as of any date of
determination, the ratio of: EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters ending immediately prior to such date for which internal financial statements
are available.  
 In the event that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems,
retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred under any revolving credit facility or other incurrence of Indebtedness for working capital purposes pursuant to working capital facilities, unless, in each case, such
Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced) or (ii) issues or redeems Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case, on or subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Consolidated Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date”), then the
Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable four quarter period. 
 For purposes of making the
computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations and consolidations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) and operational changes, in each case with respect to a business, a company, a segment, an
operating division or unit or line of business that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has determined to make and/or made during the four quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or
simultaneously with the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations and consolidations and operational
changes (and the change of any associated Fixed Charges and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four quarter period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted
Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation and consolidation and operational changes, in
each case with respect to a business, a company, a segment, an operating division or unit or line of business that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated
giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation and consolidation and operational changes had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four quarter period. 

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good
faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer, as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, to reflect
reasonably identifiable and factually supportable cost-savings, operating expense reductions, restructuring charges and expenses and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from any action taken or expected to be
taken within 12 months after the date of any acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or operational changes; 

  
 8 








 
provided that no such amounts shall be included pursuant to this paragraph to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing EBITDA with respect to such
period. 
 If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness
shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire four quarter period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such
Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized
Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance
of such Indebtedness during the applicable four quarter period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate,
shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate. 

“Consolidated Indebtedness” means, as of any date of determination, the sum, without duplication, of (1) the
total amount of (A) Indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) Indebtedness evidenced by bonds, notes (other than notes in favor of trade creditors evidencing trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business), debentures or other
similar instruments for the payment of which such Person is liable, (C) Capitalized Lease Obligations, (D) the Notes and (E) guarantees of the foregoing, in each case, of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding
(x) Indebtedness in respect of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances (or, without duplication, reimbursement agreements in respect thereof), except to the extent of unreimbursed amounts drawn thereunder, (y) intercompany
Indebtedness and (z) Indebtedness in respect of Hedging Obligations not yet due and owing), outstanding on such date; minus (2) up to $40.0 million of unrestricted cash included in the consolidated balance sheet of the Issuer and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, as of the most recently ended fiscal period (with such pro forma adjustments as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio” as determined in good faith by the Issuer); plus (3) the greater of (i) the aggregate liquidation preference and (ii) maximum fixed repurchase price without regard to any change of control or redemption premiums of all
Disqualified Stock of the Issuer and the Guarantors and all Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of this definition, the “maximum fixed repurchase
price” of any Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock that does not have a fixed repurchase price shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock as if such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock were
purchased on any date on which Consolidated Indebtedness shall be required to be determined pursuant to this Indenture, and if such price is based upon, or measured by, the fair market value of such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, such fair
market value shall be the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer).

 “Consolidated Interest Expense” means, with respect to any Person for any
period, without duplication, the sum of:

Obligations, (e) imputed interest with respect to Attributable Debt and (f) net payments, if any, pursuant to interest rate Hedging Obligations with respect to Indebtedness, and excluding (w) Additional Interest paid in respect of
the Notes to the extent that the Issuer is no longer required to pay Additional Interest in respect thereof, (x) amortization of deferred financing fees, debt issuance costs, commissions, fees and expenses, (y) any expensing of
bridge, commitment and other financing fees and (z) commissions, discounts, yield and other fees and charges (including any interest expense) related to any Receivables Facility); plus 

(2) consolidated capitalized interest of such Person and such Subsidiaries for such period, whether paid or accrued;
plus 
 (3) any interest expense of Indebtedness of another Person Guaranteed by such Person or one or more of its
Restricted Subsidiaries or secured by a Lien on assets of such Person or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent such Guarantee or Lien is called upon; plus 

(4) whether or not treated as interest expense in accordance with GAAP, all cash dividends or other distributions accrued
(excluding dividends payable solely in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer) on any series of Disqualified Stock or any series of Preferred Stock during such period.

accounted for by the equity method of accounting, shall be excluded; provided that Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer shall be increased by the amount of dividends or distributions or other payments that are actually paid in cash (or to
the extent converted into cash or Cash Equivalents) to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such period,

Section 4.07(a), the Net Income for such period of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor shall be excluded if the declaration or payment of dividends or similar distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary of its Net Income is not at
the date of determination wholly permitted without any prior governmental approval (which has not been obtained) or, directly or indirectly, by the operation of the terms of its charter or any agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute,

of such period, to the extent not already included therein,

modification of any debt instrument (in each case, including any such transaction consummated prior to the Issue Date and any such transaction undertaken but not completed) and any charges or non-recurring
merger costs incurred during such period as a result of any such transaction shall be excluded;

the Issuer has made a determination that there exists reasonable evidence that such amount will in fact be reimbursed by the insurer and only to the extent that such amount is in fact reimbursed within 365 days of the date of such determination

Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.

 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. 
 The Notes shall be
subject to repurchase by the Issuer pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer as provided in Section 4.10 hereof or a Change of Control Offer as provided in Section 4.13. The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article 3.

Issuer without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the other Notes of the applicable series (including any Initial Notes, Exchange Notes or other Additional Notes
composing such series) and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise (other than issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first Interest Payment Date and the first date from which interest will accrue) as
such Notes; provided that the Issuer’s ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Issuer’s compliance with Section 4.09 hereof; provided further that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with
the applicable series of Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will be issued as a separate series under this Indenture and will have a separate CUSIP number and ISIN from the applicable series of Notes. Any
Additional Notes shall be issued with the benefit of an indenture supplemental to this Indenture. 
 (e) 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

Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream. 
 SECTION 2.02 Execution and Authentication. 

At least one Officer of the Issuer shall execute the Notes by manual or facsimile signature. 

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 entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 

On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of on Issuer Order (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and
deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall upon receipt of an Authentication Order authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount specified in such
Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued hereunder. 

  
 42 








 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. 
 SECTION 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Issuer shall maintain (i) an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, the State of New York
where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, the State of New York where Notes may be
presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall maintain a register reflecting ownership of the Notes outstanding from time to time (“Note Register”) and shall make payments on and facilitate
transfer of Notes on behalf of the Issuer. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agents. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as (i) Registrar and Paying Agent and (ii) the Custodian with respect
to the Global Notes. The Issuer may change the Paying Agents or the Registrars without prior notice to the Holders. 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 a Paying Agent or a Registrar.  

The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the
Global Notes. 
 SECTION 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee in writing 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 one of its Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for
the money. If an Issuer or one of its respective Subsidiaries 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 2.05 Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
all Holders and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such


  
 43 








 
other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and the

 (v) Neither the
Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption. 

  
 56 








 (vi) 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 debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (vii) The Issuer shall not be required (A) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed, (B) to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption, (C) to register the
transfer of or to exchange a Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (D) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes selected for redemption or tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in
connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer. 
 (viii) Prior to due presentment for the registration of
a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(ix) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to

 SECTION 2.07 Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Registrar or the Issuer or if a Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed
or wrongfully taken, and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, in case any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 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 (including the expenses of the Trustee) in replacing a Note. 

Every replacement Note is a contractual 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 2.08 Outstanding Notes. 

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, 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 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09
hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds such Note. 
 If a Note is replaced
or repaid pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York. 
 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01
hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue from and after the date or such payment. 
 If the Paying Agent
(other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary of the Issuer or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or 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 and shall cease to accrue interest. 

  
 58 








 SECTION 2.09 Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or
consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, or by any Affiliate of 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 a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
 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 certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer consider 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 and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or
beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under 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 and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) in accordance with its customary procedures. Certification of the disposal of all
cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer upon its 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 Defaulted Interest. 
 If
the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on a series of Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent
special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee, an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, for
such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be
fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than ten days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted 

  
 59 








 
interest. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer of such special record date promptly, and in any event at least 25 days before such special record date. At least 15 days before the
special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the five-day prior written request of the Issuer, the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail, or deliver by electronic transmission in PDF format, or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by electronic transmission in PDF format, to each Holder a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related
payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater
certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. 

SECTION 2.13 CUSIP/ISIN Numbers. 

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers, as applicable, (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee
shall use CUSIP or ISIN numbers, as applicable, in notices of redemption or exchange or in offers to repurchase 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 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 as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN Code numbers, as applicable. Additional Notes will not be issued with the same CUSIP, if any, as any
existing Notes unless such Additional Notes are fungible with such existing Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION

 SECTION 3.01 Notices to Trustee. 

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business
Days before notice of redemption is mailed or caused to be mailed, or delivered by electronic transmission in PDF format, to the applicable Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an
Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount
of the Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. 
 SECTION 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. 

If the Issuer is redeeming or repurchasing less than all of the Notes at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be
redeemed or purchased (a) on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or (b) by lot or such other similar method, in each case in accordance with the procedures of DTC, unless otherwise required by law; provided that no Notes of
$2,000 or less shall be redeemed or repurchased in part. In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than
60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase. 

  
 60 








 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption
or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof; no Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple
of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

 SECTION 3.03 Notice of Purchase or Redemption. 

Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, the Issuer shall mail, deliver by electronic transmission in PDF format, or cause to be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or delivered by electronic transmission in PDF format, notices of purchase or redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the purchase or redemption date
to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11
hereof. 
 The notice shall identify the Notes (including the CUSIP or ISIN number) to be purchased or redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the purchase or redemption date; 

(b) the purchase or redemption price; 

(c) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that has been or is to be
purchased or redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, the Issuer will issue a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the Holder upon
cancellation of the original Note; 
 (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 

(f) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to
accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (g) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or
Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for purchase or redemption are being redeemed; 

  
 61 








 (h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP
or ISIN number, as applicable, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; 
 (i) if in connection with a
redemption pursuant to Paragraph 5(c) of the applicable Note, any condition to such redemption; and 
 (j) all
information required by Section 3.04(b) hereof, if applicable. 
 At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the
notice of purchase or redemption in the Issuer’s names and at its expense; provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five (5) Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed, or
delivered by electronic transmission in PDF format, or caused to be mailed or delivered by electronic transmission in PDF format to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an
Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

SECTION 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

(a) Subject to Section 3.04(b) hereof, once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called
for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price (except as provided for in Paragraph 5(c) of the applicable Note). The notice, if mailed or delivered by electronic transmission in PDF format in a
manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for
redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions
of Notes called for redemption. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any redemption of Notes
(including with funds in an equal aggregate amount not exceeding the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering), any such redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including any related Equity
Offering. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such
conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. 

SECTION 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

No later than 10:00 a.m. on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the
redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the
amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

  
 62 








 If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the
redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date,
then any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption or purchase date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase shall not be so
paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the
extent lawful on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 

SECTION 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate (upon receipt
of an Authentication Order) for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or purchased;
provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not
an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note. 
 SECTION 3.07 Optional
Redemption. 
 The Notes may be redeemed, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, subject to the conditions and at the
redemption prices set forth in Paragraph 5 of the form of Notes set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
redemption date. 
 SECTION 3.08 Mandatory Redemption; Escrow of Proceeds. 

(a) Subject to Section 3.08(b) hereof, the Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect
to the Notes. 
 (b) In the event that (i) the Separation and Distribution are not consummated on or prior to March 1, 2015
(the “Outside Date”) or (ii) the Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that the Escrow Conditions cannot be satisfied by the Outside Date (any such event being a “Mandatory Redemption Event”), the Issuer
shall be required to redeem the Notes (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate initial offering price of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the
date of redemption (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”). Written notice of the occurrence of a Mandatory Redemption Event will be delivered by the Issuer (a “Special Mandatory Redemption Notice”) within five
Business Days following the occurrence of a Mandatory Redemption Event, to the Holders, the Trustee and the Escrow Agent. At the Issuer’s written 

  
 63 








 
request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business
Days prior the special mandatory redemption dates specified in such notice (unless such shorter time shall be agreed by the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate requesting the Trustee send (by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered
address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC) a Special Mandatory Redemption Notice. The Special Mandatory Redemption shall occur (the date of such redemption, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”) on the date
set forth in the Special Mandatory Redemption Notice (which shall be no later than three Business Days from the date such notice is delivered). 

(c) In the event that the Escrow Conditions are satisfied on or before the Outside Date, the Issuer shall be entitled to direct the Escrow
Agent to release the escrowed funds from the escrow account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement (the date of such release, the “Escrow Release Date”). Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Issuer shall only be
permitted to obtain release of the escrow funds concurrently with, and conditional upon, satisfaction of the following conditions (the “Escrow Conditions”) based on an Officer’s Certificate certifying that: 

(i) all conditions precedent to the consummation of the Distribution set forth in the Distribution Agreement therefor have been
satisfied or waived, other than: 
 (A) the closing of the Senior Credit Facilities; and 

(B) the release of other debt proceeds necessary to fund the Cash Distribution; and 

(ii) no Event of Default under this Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (or result therefrom). 

(d) As long as the escrow funds are deposited with the Escrow Agent, the escrow funds will be invested by the Escrow Agent in Cash Equivalents
as specifically directed in writing by the Issuer. If the Escrow Agent receives a Special Mandatory Redemption Notice, the Escrow Agent will liquidate all escrow property then held by it not later than 11:00 a.m. the last Business Day prior the
Special Mandatory Redemption Date. The Issuer shall direct the Escrow Agent to pay, on the Business Day prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, to the Trustee for payment to each Holder the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for such
Holder’s Notes and, concurrently with the payment to such Holders, deliver any excess escrow property (if any) to the Issuer and the Issuer shall be permitted to use such excess escrow property at its discretion. 

SECTION 3.09 Offers to Repurchase by Application of Excess Proceeds. 

(a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Issuer shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it shall follow the
procedures specified below. 
 (b) The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement
and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination 

  
 64 








 
of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer shall apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and, if required by the
terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, such Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable), or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale
Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 
 (c) If the Purchase Date
is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but excluding the Purchase Date, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business
on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. 
 (d)
Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer shall send, by first-class mail or electronic transmission, a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee and Agents. The notice shall
contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and, if required by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, holders of
such Pari Passu Indebtedness. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state: 
 (i) that the
Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open; 

(ii) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 

(iii) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest; 

(iv) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer
shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date; 
 (v) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any
Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the
Issuer, the Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Purchase Date; 

(vi) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case
may be, receive, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is
withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 

  
 65 








 (vii) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu
Indebtedness surrendered by the Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes (in accordance with customary procedures) and the Issuer shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased (a) if
the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable,
are listed or (b) by lot or such similar method in accordance with the procedures of DTC, unless otherwise required by law; provided that no notes of $2,000 or less shall be repurchased in part; and 

(viii) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to
the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer) representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased. 

(e) On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent
necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered and (2) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee

mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) such new Note to such Holder (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no Opinion of Counsel or
Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note) in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not
repurchased; provided, that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof.

ARTICLE 4 
 COVENANTS

 SECTION 4.01 Payment of Notes. 

The Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner
provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and 

  
 66 








 
interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary, holds as of 10:00 a.m. on the due date money deposited by the Issuer in
immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. 
 The Issuer
shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent
lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

SECTION 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Issuer shall maintain the office or agency required under Section 2.03 (which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the
Trustee) 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; provided that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency required under Section 2.03. 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 2.03 hereof. 
 SECTION 4.03 Reports and Other Information. 

Notwithstanding that the Issuer may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or
otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Issuer shall file with the SEC (and make available (without exhibits), without
cost, to (i) Holders of the Notes, upon their request, and (ii) the Trustee, within 15 days after it files such reports and information with the SEC, to the extent not publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR system or the
Issuer’s public website (provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine whether such filing or any other filing described below has occurred) from and after the Issue Date, 

(a) within the time period then in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act with respect to the filing of a Form 10-K by a non-accelerated filer, annual reports on Form 10-K, or any successor or comparable form, containing the
information required to be contained therein, or required in such successor or comparable form; 

  
 67 








 (b) within the time period then in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act
with respect to the filing of a Form 10-Q by a non-accelerated filer, for each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, reports on Form 10-Q containing all quarterly information that would be required to be contained in Form 10-Q, or any successor or comparable form; and 

(c) within the time period then in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act with respect to the filing of a Form 8-K, after the occurrence of an event required to be therein reported, such other reports on Form 8-K, or any successor or comparable form; 

in each case, taking into account any extension of time, deemed filing date or safe harbor contemplated or provided by Rule 12b-25, Rule 13a-11(c) and Rule
15d-11(c) under the Exchange Act or successor provisions and in a manner that complies in all material respects with the requirements specified in such form; provided that the Issuer shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the SEC
if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event the Issuer shall post such reports on a website, which may, in the Issuer’s sole discretion, be non-public to which Holders are given access, within 15 days after the time the Issuer would
have been required to file such information with the SEC, if it were subject to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. 
 The
filing requirements set forth above for the applicable period may be satisfied by the Issuer prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement by (i) the posting of such reports or the
information required to be set forth therein on the Issuer’s public website (which may include a press release of the Issuer), or (ii) the filing with the SEC of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement and/or a Shelf Registration
Statement, and any amendments thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X of the Securities Act; provided that, this paragraph shall not supersede or in any manner
suspend or delay the Issuer’s reporting obligations, or the time periods required therefor, set forth above. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any parent of the Issuer becomes a guarantor of the Notes (there being no obligation of such parent
to do so), the reports, information and other documents required to be filed and provided as described above may, at the option of the Issuer, be filed by and be those of the parent, rather than those of the Issuer, so long as such filings would
satisfy the SEC’s requirements; provided that such reports include a reasonable explanation of the material differences between the assets, liabilities and results of operations of such parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries on the one
hand, and the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on the other hand. 
 In addition, to the extent not satisfied by the foregoing,
for so long as any Notes are outstanding the Issuer shall furnish to Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.03 will not require the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiaries to provide or file any information pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the
SEC that would not otherwise be applicable to them. 

  
 68 








 Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes
only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). 
 To the extent that any reports or other
information is not furnished within the time periods specified above and such reports or other information is subsequently furnished prior to the time such failure results in an Event of Default, the Issuer will be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations with respect thereto and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured. 
 Prior to the Escrow Release
Date, the Issuer will be deemed to be in compliance with the reporting obligations set forth in this Section 4.03 by virtue of filing the Form 10. 

SECTION 4.04 Compliance Certificate. 

(a) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer ending after the Issue Date,
a certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made
under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Issuer has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to
the best of his or her knowledge the Issuer has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every condition and covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions,
covenants and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default shall have occurred and is continuing, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or propose to take with respect thereto).

 (b) The Issuer shall, within 30 days after becoming aware of any Default, deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail, by
facsimile transmission or electronic transmission in PDF format an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default (unless such Default has been cured before the end of the 30-day period) and what action the Issuer proposes to take with respect
thereto. 
 SECTION 4.05 Taxes. 

The Issuer shall pay, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and
governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders. 

SECTION 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they 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 

  
 69 








 
time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they 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 4.07 Limitation on Restricted Payments. 

(a) (1) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests, including any dividend or distribution payable in connection with any merger or consolidation other than: 

(A) dividends, payments or distributions payable by the Issuer in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the
Issuer; or 
 (B) dividends, payments or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend,
payment or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities issued by a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at
least its pro rata share of such dividend, payment or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series of securities; 

(ii) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Issuer, including in
connection with any merger or consolidation;

Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

(b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Issuer, of

Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the last two sentences of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all
outstanding Investments by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated shall be deemed to be an Investment in an amount determined as set forth in the definition of
“Investment.” Such designation shall be permitted only if an Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time, whether as a Restricted Payment or a Permitted Investment, and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition
of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the covenants set forth in this Indenture.

Section 4.07 and such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment shall be treated as having been made pursuant to only the clause or clauses of this Section 4.07 or of the definition of “Permitted Investment” to which such
Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment has been classified or reclassified; provided that the Issuer may not reclassify any Restricted Payments as having been made under clause (16) of Section 4.07(b) if originally made under
any other clause of Section 4.07(b) or under Section 4.07(a). 
 SECTION 4.08 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted
Subsidiaries. 
 (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or
otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to: 

(1) (A) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on its Capital Stock

clauses (1) through (3) of Section 4.08(a) hereof contained in such agreement, taken as a whole, are not materially more restrictive than the provisions contained in the Senior Credit Facilities, or in this Indenture, in each case as
in effect when initially executed; 
 (3) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business
and Capitalized Lease Obligations that impose restrictions of the nature discussed in clause (3) of Section 4.08(a) hereof on the property so acquired or leased;

necessary or advisable to effect such Receivables Facility; provided that such restrictions apply only to the applicable Receivables Subsidiary;

respect to such encumbrance and other restrictions taken as a whole than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing; 

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.08, (i) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating
distributions prior to dividends or liquidating

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently, or otherwise (collectively, “incur” and collectively, an “incurrence”) with respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness)
and the Issuer shall not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Issuer may incur Indebtedness
(including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock, and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), issue shares of Disqualified Stock and issue shares of Preferred Stock, if the
Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio at the time such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro
forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at
the beginning of the most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available; provided further, however, that Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries may not incur Indebtedness or issue Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock if, after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or issuance, the aggregate amount of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries outstanding pursuant to this Section 4.09(a)

(b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof shall not apply to: 

(1) the incurrence of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and the issuance
and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof); provided, however, that
immediately after giving effect to any such incurrence, the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness under this clause (1) does not exceed at any one time the sum of (i) $895.0 million plus (ii) the maximum
principal amount of Secured Indebtedness that could be incurred such that after giving effect to such incurrence, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio would be no greater than 2.50 to 1.00; 

(2) the incurrence by the Issuer and any Guarantor of Indebtedness represented by (i) the Notes (including any
Guarantee) (other than any Additional Notes) and (ii) any Exchange Notes and any related Guarantees to be issued pursuant to a registered exchange offer in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement in exchange for
the Notes or Additional Notes, if any, issued in compliance with this Indenture; 

  
 79 








 (3) Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in existence on

(4) Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations and Attributable Debt), Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock
incurred or issued by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to finance the purchase, lease, construction, repair or improvement of property (real or personal) or equipment that is used or useful in a Similar Business, whether through the
direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets, and any Indebtedness incurred to refinance any such Indebtedness, in an aggregate principal amount or liquidation preference which, when aggregated with the principal
amount of all other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock then outstanding under this clause (4) does not exceed the greater of (x) $100.0 million and (y) 4.0% of Total Assets determined at the time of incurrence;

respect to letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances, bank guarantees, warehouse receipts or similar facilities issued or entered into in the ordinary course of business, including letters of credit in respect of workers’ compensation
claims, performance or surety bonds, health, disability, social security or other employee benefits, property, casualty or liability insurance or self-insurance or other Indebtedness with respect to

than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; 

(7) Indebtedness of the Issuer to a Restricted Subsidiary or of a Restricted Subsidiary to the Issuer or another Restricted
Subsidiary; provided that any such Indebtedness (other than such as may arise from ordinary course intercompany cash management obligations) owing by the Issuer or a Guarantor to a Non-Guarantor
Subsidiary is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the applicable Guarantee, as applicable; and provided further that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any
Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary or any pledge of such Indebtedness constituting a Permitted Lien) shall be
deemed, in each case, to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (7); 

  
 80 








 (8) shares of Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary issued to the Issuer or
another Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in such Preferred Stock being beneficially owned by a Person other than the Issuer or any Restricted
Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such shares of Preferred Stock (except to the Issuer or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries) shall be deemed in each case to be an issuance of such shares of Preferred Stock not permitted by this
clause (8); 
 (9) Hedging Obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business (excluding Hedging Obligations
entered into for speculative purposes); 
 (10) obligations in respect of performance, bid, appeal, custom and surety bonds

(x) $75.0 million and (y) 3.0% of Total Assets determined at the time of incurrence; 
 (12) the incurrence by
the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock which serves to refund or refinance: 

(i) any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred or issued as permitted under Section 4.09(a) hereof
and clauses (2) and (3) of this Section 4.09(b), this clause (12) and clause (13) of this Section 4.09(b), or 

(ii) any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred or issued to so refund or refinance the Indebtedness,

 including, in each case, additional
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred to pay premiums (including tender premiums), accrued interest, defeasance costs and reasonable fees and expenses in connection therewith (collectively, the “Refinancing
Indebtedness”); provided, however, that such Refinancing Indebtedness: 
 (A) has a Weighted Average
Life to Maturity at the time such Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred which is not less than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refunded or refinanced, 

  
 81 








 (B) to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness refinances (i) Indebtedness
subordinated or pari passu to the Notes or any Guarantee thereof, such Refinancing Indebtedness is subordinated or pari passu, as the case may be, to the Notes or the Guarantee at least to the same extent as the Indebtedness
being refinanced or refunded or (ii) Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, such Refinancing Indebtedness must be Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, respectively, and 

(C) shall not include: 

(i) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary
that refinances Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of the Issuer;

Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary; 
 and provided further that subclause (A) of
this clause (12) will not apply to any refunding or refinancing of Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities; 

(13) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of (x) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary incurred to finance
an acquisition or (y) Persons that are acquired by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or merged into or consolidated with the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that after
giving effect to such acquisition, merger or consolidation, either:

 (14) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or

(16) (a) any guarantee by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or other obligations of any Restricted
Subsidiary so long as the incurrence of such Indebtedness incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of this Indenture, or 

(b) any guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Issuer; provided that such guarantee is incurred in
accordance with Section 4.15 hereof; 
 (17) Indebtedness of Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount, which when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries then outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause (17) and under Section 4.09(a)
hereof, does not exceed the greater of (i) $100.0 million and (ii) 4.0% of Total Assets at any one time outstanding (including any refinancing thereof); 

(18) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consisting of (i) the financing of insurance

case to finance the purchase or redemption of Equity Interests of the Issuer to the extent described in clause (4) of Section 4.07(b) hereof; and 

(21) guarantees incurred in the ordinary course of business in respect of obligations of (or to) suppliers, customers, lessors
and licensees that, in each case, are non-Affiliates. 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the
event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in
clauses (1) through (21) of Section 4.09(b) hereof or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will divide and/or classify on the date of incurrence and may later redivide
and/or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and will 

  
 83 








 
only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one of the above clauses of Section 4.09(b) or in Section 4.09(a);
provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facilities on the Escrow Release Date will be treated as incurred under clause (1) of Section 4.09(b) and will not later be reclassified. 

(d) Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional indebtedness with
the same terms, the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, of the same class, and accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference will not be deemed to be an
incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a
particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in
compliance with this Section 4.09. 
 (e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S.
dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be
calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first incurred (whichever is lower), 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 plus the amount of any reasonable premium (including reasonable tender premiums), defeasance costs and any reasonable fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the issuance of such Indebtedness. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09
shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. 
 (f) 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. The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that
would be shown on a balance sheet of the Issuer dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP. 
 (g) The Issuer will not, and will not
permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such
Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the
case may be. 
 (h) For the purposes of this Indenture, Indebtedness that is unsecured is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to Secured
Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured, and Indebtedness is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to any other Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral. 

  
 84 








 SECTION 4.10 Asset Sales. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless: 

(1) the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at
least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(2) in the Issuer’s good faith determination, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or any
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of (i) cash or Cash Equivalents, (ii) Related Business Assets or (iii) any combination of the consideration specified in clauses (i) and (ii); provided that
the amount of: 
 (A) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet or in the
footnotes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the Issuer’s consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had
taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in good faith by the Issuer) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than Contingent Obligations and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to
the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets (or are otherwise extinguished by the transferee in connection with the transactions relating to such Asset Sale) and for which the Issuer and all such Restricted
Subsidiaries have been released, 
 (B) any notes or other obligations or securities received by the Issuer or such
Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash
Equivalents received), in each case, within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and 
 (C) any
Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer), taken together with
all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) since the Issue Date that is at that time outstanding (but, to the extent that any


  
 85 








 
such Designated Non-cash Consideration is sold or otherwise liquidated for cash, minus the lesser of (a) the amount of the cash received (less the
cost of disposition, if any) and (b) the initial amount of such Designated Non-cash Consideration) not to exceed the greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) 2.0% of Total Assets, with the fair
market value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,

 shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose. 

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may
apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, 
 (1) to permanently reduce: 

(A) Obligations under one or more Credit Facilities and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 

(B) Obligations under Pari Passu Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien, which Lien is permitted by this Indenture, and to
correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 
 (C) Obligations under the Notes (provided that such
purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or any other Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, if applicable); provided that if such Net
Proceeds are applied to other Pari Passu Indebtedness (other than the Senior Credit Facilities or other Secured Indebtedness) then the Issuer shall (i) equally and ratably (based on the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as
applicable)) reduce Obligations under the Notes (x) as provided under Section 3.07 or (y) through open market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or (ii) make
an offer (in accordance with Section 4.10(c) hereof) to all Holders of Notes to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount
of Notes that would otherwise be redeemed under clause (i), or 
 (D) Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary; or 

(2) to make (A) an Investment in any one or more businesses; provided that such Investment in any business is in
the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary,
(B) acquire properties (other than working capital), (C) make capital expenditures or (D) acquire other assets (other than working capital) that, in the case of each of (A), (B), (C) and (D) are either (x) used or
useful in a Similar Business or (y) replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; 

  
 86 








 provided that, in the case of clause (2) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted
application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Issuer, or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment
within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”); provided further that if any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net
Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds; or 
 (3) any combination of the foregoing. 

(c) Any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in
Section 4.10(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in clause (1) above, shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) will be
deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of
any Pari Passu Indebtedness, to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of the Notes in minimum
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or
accreted value, as applicable), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for or permitted by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to,
but excluding, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. 
 (d) The
Issuer shall commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $25.0 million by electronically delivering or mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms
of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. 
 (e) To the extent that the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable)
of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in
this Indenture, and they will no longer constitute Excess Proceeds. If the aggregate amount (determined as above) of Notes and the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered in an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee
shall select the Notes (in accordance with customary procedures) and the Issuer shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased (a) if the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness are listed on any national securities exchange,
in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, are listed or (b) by lot or such similar method in accordance with the procedures of DTC,
unless otherwise required by law; provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be repurchased in part. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 

  
 87 








 (f) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.10, the
holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 

(g) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. 

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Issuer’s obligations to make an Asset Sale Offer under this Section 4.10
may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 

SECTION 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any
Affiliate of the Issuer (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10.0 million, unless:

the Notes and related Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or

The foregoing shall not apply to (A) Liens securing the Notes and the related Guarantees, (B) Liens securing

 91 








 
provided that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if (i) the Issuer in good faith
shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) the failure to preserve such right, license or franchise, or such
existence, is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 
 SECTION 4.14 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of
Control. 
 (a) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs after the Issue Date, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently
mailed, or delivered by electronic transmission, a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.07 hereof, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer
described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but
excluding, the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase
Event, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently mailed, or delivered by electronic transmission, a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.07 hereof, the Issuer shall send notice of
such Change of Control Offer by first-class mail or electronically in PDF format, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or
otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with the following information: 
 (1) that a Change of Control Offer is
being made pursuant to this Section 4.14 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuer; 

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will, subject to clause (8) of this Section 4.14(a), be no
earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 

(3) that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest; 

(4) that unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (5) that
Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the paying
agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase
such Notes; provided that the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name


  
 92 








 
of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have
such Notes purchased; 
 (7) that if the Holders tender less than all of the Notes, the Holders of the
remaining Notes will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; 
 (8) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control,
stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time as the
Change of Control shall occur, or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that the Issuer shall determine that such condition will not be satisfied by the Change of Control Payment Date or by the Change of
Control Payment as so delayed; and 
 (9) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this
Section 4.13, that a Holder must follow. 
 The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of
Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to
a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to
have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue thereof. 
 (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the
extent permitted by law, 
 (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer, 
 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. on the due date an amount equal to the
aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered, and 
 (3) deliver, or
cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer. 

(c) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control Repurchase Event if 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 and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not
withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 

  
 93 








 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in
place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. 
 (d) Notes repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to a
Change of Control Offer will have the status of Notes issued but not outstanding or will be retired and canceled at the option of the Issuer. Notes purchased by a third party pursuant to Section 4.14(c) will have the status of Notes
issued and outstanding unless transferred to the Issuer. 
 (e) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.13, any purchase
pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.02, Section 3.05 and Section 3.06 hereof. 

(f) In the event that Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and
the Issuer (or any third party making such Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above) purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon notice as provided in this Indenture, given not more
than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment, plus, to the extent
not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes that remain outstanding, to, but excluding, the date of redemption, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date. 
 (g) For the avoidance of doubt, the Separation and Distribution shall not constitute
a Change of Control or an Asset Sale. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the Issuer to make a Change
of Control Offer under this Section 4.14 may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 

SECTION 4.15 Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries. 

The Issuer shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any
Guarantor unless: 
 (1) within 20 days after such Restricted Subsidiary guarantees such other Indebtedness, such Restricted
Subsidiary executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of
the Issuer or any Guarantor: 
 (a) if the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee is subordinated in right of payment
to such Indebtedness, the Guarantee under the supplemental indenture shall be subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary’s guarantee with respect to such Indebtedness substantially to the same extent as the Notes or such Guarantor’s
Guarantee is subordinated to such Indebtedness; and 

  
 94 








 (b) if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment
to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee of the Notes
substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee; and 

(2) the Issuer shall within 20 days deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

 provided that this Section 4.15 shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person
became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary. The Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be
a Guarantor to become a Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary shall not be required to comply with the 20 day periods described in this Section 4.15. 

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.15 shall not prohibit a guarantee or pledge by a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary securing the payment of Indebtedness
of another Non-Guarantor Subsidiary. 
 SECTION 4.16 Termination of Certain Covenants. 

(a) If on any date following the Escrow Release Date: (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both of the Rating Agencies,
(ii) no Default or Event of Default under this Indenture has occurred and is continuing and (iii) the Issuer has delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee certifying that the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and

Section 4.10 hereof, Section 4.11 hereof, Section 4.17 hereof and clause (4) of Section 5.01(a) hereof and no failure by the Issuer or any Subsidiary to comply with any of the foregoing provisions shall constitute a Default
or Event of Default under this Indenture. 
 (b) The Issuer shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying it
of any such occurrence under this Section 4.16. 
 SECTION 4.17 Limitations on Business Activities. 

The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than Similar Businesses, except as would
not be material to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or

contrary set forth herein, no provision of this Indenture shall prevent the completion of any of the Transactions, nor shall the Transactions give rise to any Default or impair or reduce the availability or constitute the utilization of any basket
or other exceptions (other than any such baskets or other exceptions that expressly refer to the Transactions or the Separation and Distribution) in the covenants under this Indenture or the Notes.

 SECTION 6.02 Acceleration. 

(a) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01(a) hereof) occurs and
is continuing with respect to the Notes, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may declare the principal, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then
outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. 
 (b) Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest
with respect to the Notes shall be due and payable immediately. The Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if it in good faith determines that acceleration is not in the best interest of the Holders of the Notes. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01(a)
hereof, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. 
 (d) The Trustee may withhold from
the Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in the Holders’ interest. In addition, the Trustee shall have no obligation to
accelerate the Notes if in the best judgment of the Trustee acceleration is not in the best interest of the Holders of the Notes. 
 SECTION 6.03
Other Remedies. 
 Subject to the duties of the Trustee as provided for in Article 7, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal and interest 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 6.04 Waiver of Defaults. 

(a) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of
the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under this Indenture, except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, any Note held by a
non-consenting Holder; provided that Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind any acceleration and its consequences with respect to
the Notes, including any related payments that resulted from such acceleration (except if such recession would conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). Upon any such written 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 consequent thereon. 

  
 101 








 (b) In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (5) of Section 6.01(a),
such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or
the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose: 
 (1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis
for such Event of Default has been discharged; or 
 (2) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration,
notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or 
 (3) the default that is the basis for such
Event of Default has been cured. 
 SECTION 6.05 Control by Majority. 

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes may direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is
unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 SECTION 6.06 Limitation on
Suits. 
 Subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee hereunder, in case an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of the Notes unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or
security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, or interest, when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes
unless: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing with
respect to such series of Notes; 
 (2) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have
requested (in writing) the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity
satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request
within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) Holders of a majority in
principal amount at maturity of the total outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 

  
 102 








 A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a
preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). 

SECTION 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on
the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall
not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or (2) hereof 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 interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation of the Trustee and the reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, in each case as set forth in Section 7.07 hereof. 

SECTION 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted. 

SECTION 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07
hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition
to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of
any other appropriate right or remedy. 

  
 103 








 SECTION 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 6.12 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 allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor
upon the Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and 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 and the reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the
extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be
denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether
in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

SECTION 6.13 Priorities. 
 If the
Trustee or any Agent collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

(1) to the Trustee, the Agents, their agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of
all reasonable compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee or any Agent and the costs and expenses of collection; 

(2) to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and 

(3) to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct including a Guarantor, if applicable. 


  
 104 








 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.13. 
 SECTION 6.14 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 and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder
pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Notes a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing
Default if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be deemed to know of any Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any event which is such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.06 Reports by
Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 
 Within 60 days after each January 15, beginning with the January 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 Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) (but if no
event described in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) has occurred within the 12 months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2). The
Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c). 
 A copy of each report at the time
of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed to the Issuer and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d). The Issuer shall promptly notify
the Trustee in writing when any series of Notes are listed on any stock exchange or any delisting thereof. 
 SECTION 7.07 Compensation and
Indemnity. 
 The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services
hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. 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 and documented out-of-pocket disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall
include the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Trustee shall provide the
Company reasonable notice of any expenditures not in the ordinary course of business. 

  
 108 








 The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee, its
officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (each an “Indemnified Person”) for, and hold each Indemnified Person harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it (as evidenced in an invoice from the Trustee) in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any
claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or any Guarantor, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). 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 provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in
the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if
(a) its assumes such the Trustee’s defense, (b) in the Trustee’s reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee in connection with such defense, and (c) there is no legal defenses
available to the Trustee that are different from or are in addition to those available to the Issuer (so long as there is no good faith disagreement between the Issuer and the Trustee as to the action (or inaction) of counsel in respect to the
defenses at issue). The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence. 

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, 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 interest on particular 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 Section 6.01(a)(7) or
(8) 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 Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

SECTION 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount 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; 

  
 109 








 (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is

successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount 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 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Trustee (at the Issuer’s expense), the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount 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 who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10
hereof, such Holder 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. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07
hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

SECTION 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
 In case at the time such successor or
successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate
of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at 

  
 110 








 
that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of
the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 

SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that 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 Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b). 

SECTION 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. 

The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act
Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

Section 4.17 hereof and clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01(a) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“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 the Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means
that, with respect to outstanding Notes, the Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable, may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or
indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an
Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(a)(3), Section 6.01(a)(4), Section 6.01(a)(5), Section 6.01(a)(6),
Section 6.01(a)(7) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries), Section 6.01(a)(8) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries) and Section 6.01(a)(9) hereof
shall not constitute Events of Default. 

  
 112 








 SECTION 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

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

 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes: 

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars,
Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal amount of, premium, if
any, and interest due on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, of such principal amount, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being
defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 
 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, 

(A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or 

(B) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon, such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and
exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at
the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of Covenant
Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S.
federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not
occurred; 
 (4) no Default (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 such deposit with respect to the Notes; 

  
 113 








 (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Credit Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which, the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound
(other than that resulting from borrowing of 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); 

(6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and 

(7) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of
Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with. 

SECTION 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or a
Guarantor acting as Paying Agent), the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee. 

The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against Government Securities
deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 

SECTION 8.06 Repayment to Issuer. 

Anything in this Article 8 or Article 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly deliver or
pay to the Issuer upon request any money or Government Securities held by it in accordance with this Article 8 or Article 11 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance
or discharge in accordance with Article 11 hereof. 
 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 interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due


  
 114 








 
and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuer
for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or any Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 

SECTION 8.07 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or Government Securities in accordance with
Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s obligations under
this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in
accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT,
SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
 SECTION 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Issuer, any Guarantor (with respect to a Guarantee or this Indenture to which it is a party) and
the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, any Guarantee, the Escrow Agreement or the Notes without the consent of any Holder: 

(1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; 

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 

(3) to comply with Section 5.01 hereof; 

(4) to provide the assumption of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders; 

(5) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not materially
adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 
 (6) to add covenants for the benefit of the
Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Guarantor; 
 (7) to comply with requirements of
the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; 

  
 115 








 (8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this
Indenture of a successor Trustee thereunder pursuant to the requirements thereof; 
 (9) to provide for the issuance of
Exchange Notes or private exchange notes, which are identical to exchange notes except that they are not freely transferable; 

(10) to add a Guarantor under this Indenture or to secure the Obligations hereunder or to release any Guarantor from its
Guarantee if such release is in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (11) to conform the text of this Indenture,
the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum as described in an Officer’s Certificate; 

(12) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as
permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes
being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; 

(13) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or 

(14) to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depositary. 

SECTION 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, any Guarantee,
the Escrow Agreement and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of Notes (including Additional Notes) then outstanding voting as a single class, (including consents obtained in connection with
a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, any Note, except a payment default resulting from
an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes issued hereunder may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes,
(including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). Section 2.08 and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which series of Notes are considered to be
“outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02. 
 The consent of the Holders of Notes under this
Section 9.02 is not necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall deliver electronically or mail to
the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice 

  
 116 








 
briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any
such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Without the consent of each affected Holder, an amendment or waiver may not, with respect to
the Notes held by a non-consenting Holder: 
 (1) reduce the principal amount
of the Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (2) reduce the principal amount of or
change the fixed final maturity of any Note or alter or waive the provisions (other than any amendment or waiver of any minimum notice period for redemption, which may be amended or waived with the consent of Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding) with respect to the redemption of Notes (other than provisions relating to Section 3.09, Section 4.10 and Section 4.13 hereof); 

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; 

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in (a) the payment of principal of, or interest on the Notes, except a
rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or (b) in respect of a covenant or
provision contained in this Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot expressly by its terms be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders; 

(5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated therein; 

(6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to
receive payments of principal of, or interest on the Notes; 
 (7) make any change in these amendment and waiver
provisions as it relates to the Notes; 
 (8) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or
interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; 

(9) make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders; or 

(10) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the terms of the Guarantees of any Significant Subsidiary in any
manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes. 

  
 117 








 SECTION 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a
Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a
Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the earlier of the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective and the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s
Certificate from the Issuer certifying that the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

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. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to
such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record
date unless the consent of the requisite principal amount of Notes has been obtained. 
 SECTION 9.04 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, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, 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 9.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully
protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.03 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary
exceptions. No Opinion of Counsel will be required by the immediately preceding sentence for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement whose sole purpose is to add a new Guarantor under this Indenture. 

  
 118 








 SECTION 9.06 Payment for Consent. 

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all
Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

SECTION 9.07 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, every amendment, waiver or supplement to this Indenture or
any series of Notes shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 
 ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTEES 
 SECTION 10.01
Guarantee. 
 Subject to this Article 10 and following the Escrow Release Date, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of
the Issuer hereunder or thereunder: (a) the performance and full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes, whether for payment of
principal of or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, on the terms set forth in this Indenture; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations,
that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any
performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with
a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or
otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the
extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 

  
 119 








 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 
 Each
Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the
purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as
provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. Any Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon
payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the
Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and
continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for
all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or Guarantees, whether as a voidable preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance
had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so
rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Each payment to
be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 

SECTION 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to
any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and 

  
 120 








 
the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent
and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of
such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. 

SECTION 10.03 Execution and Delivery. 

To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf
of such Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee
shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due
delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 If required by Section 4.15 hereof, the Issuer
shall cause any existing Restricted Subsidiary and any newly created or acquired Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable. 

SECTION 10.04 Subrogation. 
 Each
Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Notes against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided that, no Guarantor shall be entitled to
enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes shall have been paid in full. 

SECTION 10.05 Benefits Acknowledged. 

Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture
and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

  
 121 








 SECTION 10.06 Release of Guarantees. 

A Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the
Issuer or the Trustee is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee upon: 
 (1) any direct or indirect
sale, exchange or transfer (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer), after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all
or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person in such transaction, to a Person which is not the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such sale, exchange or transfer of
Capital Stock or assets is made in a manner that is not prohibited by the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 
 (2) the
release or discharge of such Guarantor from the guarantee of Indebtedness that resulted in the obligation of such Guarantor to guarantee the Notes (including the Senior Credit Facilities), except as a result of payment under such guarantee; 

(3) the proper designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; or 

(4) the Issuer exercising its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the
Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 
 Upon request of
the Issuer, the Trustee shall evidence such release by a supplemental indenture or other instrument which may be executed by the Trustee without the consent of any Holder; provided that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. 

ARTICLE 11 
 SATISFACTION
AND DISCHARGE 
 SECTION 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 

This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect, when either: 

(1) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been
replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(2) (A) all the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of
the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption and redeemed within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be 

  
 122 








 
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be
sufficient (in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants) without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 

(B) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and 

(C) the Issuer has 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. 
 In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
subclause (A) of clause (2) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive. 

SECTION 11.02 Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the of Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or
Guarantor acting as the Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof until such time as the Trustee or any Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of 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 or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

this Note at 6.250% per annum from October 17, 20141 until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and
October 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). The first Interest Payment Date shall be April 15, 20152. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance. The Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes. At maturity, the Issuer will pay
accrued and unpaid interest from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons
who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled
after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set
forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders
of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts. 
 3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer

(c) Until October 15, 2017, the Issuer may, at its option, upon notice as described in Section 3.03 of the Indenture, on one or more
occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued by them at a redemption price equal to 106.250% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the

Indenture) to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be
redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 8. OFFERS
TO REPURCHASE. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Issuer shall make an offer (a “Change of
Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). The Change of Control Offer shall be made in accordance with Section 4.14 of the Indenture. 

(b) If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consummates an Asset Sale, within ten Business Days of each date that Excess
Proceeds exceed $25.0 million, the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary shall commence an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness
(an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash
in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value, as applicable) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for or
permitted by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to, but excluding, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount (or accreted
value, as applicable) of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to
other covenants contained in the Indenture, and they will no longer constitute Excess Proceeds. If the aggregate amount of Notes and the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered in an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds,
the Trustee shall select the Notes (in accordance with customary procedures) and the Issuer shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased (a) if the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness are listed on any national
securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, are listed or (b) by lot or such similar method in accordance with
the procedures of DTC, unless otherwise required by law; provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be repurchased in part. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 

  
 A-7

minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder to
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of the Notes. Holders shall pay all taxes due on transfer. The Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption, except for the
unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer is not required to issue, transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed. 

10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 

11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the
Indenture. 
 12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture.
If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the
then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable
immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in writing in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive
any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Notes held by a non-consenting Holder.
The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required within ten Business Days after becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement
specifying such Default and what action the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 13. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. 

14. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES. 

15. CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has
caused CUSIP

[FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS] 

Supplemental Indenture (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of
            , among [    ] (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a Subsidiary of Halyard Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“the
“Issuer”), the Issuer, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”). 

W I T N E S S E T H 
 WHEREAS,
the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of October 17, 2014, providing for the issuance of an unlimited aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2022
(the “Notes”); 
 WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall
execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set
forth herein and under the Indenture (the “Guarantee”); and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the
Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows: 

(1) Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

(2) Agreement to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows: 

(a) Along with all Guarantors named in the Indenture, to jointly and severally unconditionally guarantee to each Holder
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: 

(i) the principal of and interest and premium on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid
in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and 

  
 D-1 








 (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or
any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount
so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. This is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of
collection. 
 (b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to
enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. 

(c) The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever. 

(d) This Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, the
Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture. 

(e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors (including the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary), or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (f) As between the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, on the one hand, and
the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or
other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary for the purpose of this Guarantee. 

(g) To the extent that the Guaranteeing Subsidiary makes a payment under its Guarantee, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be
entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under the Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all
the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. 

  
 D-2 








 (h) Pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to all
other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, this new Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary under this
Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 (i) This Guarantee shall remain in full force and
effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are,
pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes and Guarantee, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or
otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Note shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed
reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 (j) In case any provision of this
Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

(k) This Guarantee shall be a general unsecured senior obligation of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary. 

(l) Each payment to be made by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary in respect of this Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 (3) Execution and
Delivery. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 

(4) Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(b) of the Indenture, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not consolidate or
merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Issuer or Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or
more related transactions, to any Person unless: 
 (i) (A) the Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving corporation or the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or 

  
 D-3 








 
merger (if other than the Guaranteeing Subsidiary) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation organized or existing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as the case may be, or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (the Guaranteeing Subsidiary or such
Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Person”); 
 (B) the Successor Person, if
other than the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, expressly assumes all the obligations of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Indenture and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s related Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or
instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 (C) immediately after such transaction, no Default exists;
and 
 (D) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with the Indenture, and, with respect to the Opinion of Counsel, such supplemental indentures (or other documents setting forth the assumption of
the obligations of the applicable Guarantor) constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Successor Person, enforceable against such Successor Person in accordance with its terms; or 

(ii) the transaction is not prohibited by the Indenture; 

(b) Subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture, the Successor Person will succeed to, and be substituted for,
the Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Indenture and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary may merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to another Guarantor or
the Issuer. 
 (5) Releases. The Guarantee of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be automatically and unconditionally released and
discharged, and no further action by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, the Issuer or the Trustee is required for the release of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s Guarantee, upon: 

(a) (i) any direct or indirect sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of (i) the Capital Stock of the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary (including any sale, exchange or transfer), after which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary which sale, exchange or
transfer is not prohibited by the applicable provisions of the Indenture; 
 (ii) the release or discharge of the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary from the guarantee of Indebtedness that resulted in the obligation of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary to guarantee the Notes (including the Senior Credit Facilities), except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment
under such guarantee; 

  
 D-4 








 (iii) the proper designation of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary; or 
 (iv) the Issuer exercising its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with
Article 8 of the Indenture or the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and 

(b) the Issuer delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. 
 (6) No Recourse Against
Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors (including the Guaranteeing Subsidiary) under the Notes, any
Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
 (7) Governing Law. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WILL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 (8) Counterparts. The parties may sign any number
of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission
shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Supplemental Indenture and signature pages for all purposes. 

(9) Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

conditions set forth in the Indenture, including the terms and provisions defining and limiting the liabilities and responsibilities of the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or
sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary.

of any amounts paid by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 hereof and Section 10.01 of the Indenture; 

  
 D-5 








 
provided that the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all obligations of the
