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

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and
discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and any operational changes, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations that the

business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings and reorganizations (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference

acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, discontinued operation, operational change, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would

consolidation, operational change, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations 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 any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in

to reflect (1) operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from the applicable pro forma event (including, to the 

  
 18 








 
extent applicable, from the Transactions), and (2) all adjustments of the nature used in connection with the calculation of “Adjusted EBITDA” as set forth in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such four-quarter period. 

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

from time to time after the Issue Date issue Additional Notes under this Indenture in an unlimited principal amount, so long as (i) the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such Additional Notes is at such time permitted by
Section 4.03 and the Liens thereon are permitted by Section 4.12 and (ii) such Additional Notes are issued in compliance with the other applicable provisions of this Indenture. With respect to any Additional Notes issued after the
Issue Date (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.10, 3.08, 4.06(e), 4.08(c) or the Appendix), there shall be
(a) established in or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company and (b) (i) set forth or determined in the manner provided in an Officer’s Certificate or (ii) established in one or more indentures
supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of such Additional Notes: 
 (1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional
Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture; 

  
 41 








 (2) the issue price and issuance date of such Additional Notes, including the
date from which interest on such Additional Notes shall accrue; and 
 (3) if applicable, that such Additional Notes shall be
issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes and, in such case, the respective depositaries for such Global Notes, the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by such Global Notes in addition to or in lieu of those
set forth in Exhibit A hereto, and any circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Section 2.2 of the Appendix in which any such Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Additional Notes registered, or any transfer
of such Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof. 

If any of the terms of any Additional Notes are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company,
a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate or the indenture supplemental
hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Notes. 
 The Original Notes and any Additional Notes, shall all be treated as a single
class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Any Additional Notes that are not fungible with the existing Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall bear a
separate CUSIP number. 
 Section 2.02. Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Original Notes are set forth in the
Appendix, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (i) Original Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (ii) any Additional Notes (if issued as Transfer Restricted Definitive
Notes) and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or
endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company or any Note Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Note shall be
dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, provided that the Notes may be issued in
denominations of less than $1,000 solely to accommodate the book-entry positions that have any been created by the Depository in denominations of less than $1,000. 

Section 2.03. Execution and Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of
the Company signed by one Officer (a) Original Notes for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000, and (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount
to be determined at the time of issuance and specified therein. Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Indenture or the Appendix, any issuance of Additional Notes after the Issue Date shall be in a principal amount of at least $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. 

  
 42 








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

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

(b) The Company may enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall
incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar
or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

(c) The Company may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee;
provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Registrar or
Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The
Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with
Section 7.08. 

  
 43 








 Section 2.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to each due date of the
principal of and interest on any Note, the Company shall deposit with each Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum
sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money
held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall
segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed
by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 

Section 2.06. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list
available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing annually at least five Business Days before December 4 and at
such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders. 

Section 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the
surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with the Appendix. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements
therefor are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of the same type of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements
are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or
other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section. The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption (except, in the
case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Notes, the Company, the Note Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and
the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether
or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, any Note Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial
interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a
beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. 

  
 44 








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

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

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company. 

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes. 
 Section 2.09. Outstanding Notes. Notes
outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 13.06, a Note does not cease
to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08
(other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be
outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08. 
 If a Paying Agent segregates and holds in
trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be,
and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.


  
 45 








 Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are to be issued
under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes of the
appropriate type but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes of the same type and make them available
for delivery in exchange for temporary Notes upon surrender of such temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company, without charge to the Holder. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and
privileges as Definitive Notes. 
 Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The
Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
 Section 2.12.
Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The
Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and
shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to each affected Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. 

Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers and ISINs (if then generally in
use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers and ISINs in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers,
either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of
such numbers. The Company shall advise the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers and ISINs. 
 Section 2.14. Calculation of
Principal Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or
other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination,
of Notes, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09
and Section 13.06 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Company and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate. 

  
 46 








 ARTICLE III. 

REDEMPTION 

Section 3.01. Redemption. The Notes may be redeemed, in whole, or from time to time in part, subject to the conditions set forth
in paragraph 5 of the form of Notes set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the redemption date. 
 Section 3.02. Applicability of Article. Redemption of Notes at the election of the
Company or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article. 

Section 3.03. Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of
paragraph 5 of the Notes, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of (i) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and
(iv) the redemption price. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee provided for in this paragraph at least 40 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date if the redemption is pursuant to paragraph 5 of the applicable Note,
unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. If fewer than
all the Notes are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Company and given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not fewer than 15 days after the date of notice to the Trustee. Any such notice may
be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being delivered to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. 

Section 3.04. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption of Notes, the Trustee will select the Notes
to be redeemed (a) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, (b) on a pro rata basis to the extent
practicable or (c) by lot or such other similar method in accordance with the procedures of DTC; provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not
previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than $2,000. Notes and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $2,000 or any integral
multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed. 

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

  
 47 








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

(i) the redemption date; 

(ii) the redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof and the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date; 

(iii) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(iv) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price, plus accrued interest; 

(v) if fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the particular Notes to
be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption; 

(vi) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant
to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 

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

(viii) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, ISIN or “Common Code”, if any, listed
in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 (b) At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section at least five Business Days prior to the date such notice is to be provided to Holders, or such
shorter period as is satisfactory to the Trustee, and such notice may not be canceled. 
 Section 3.06. Effect of Notice of
Redemption. Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with Section 3.05, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying
Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest, to, but not including, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular record date and on or prior to
the interest payment date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice
to any other Holder. 

  
 48 








 Section 3.07. Deposit of Redemption Price. With respect to any Notes, prior to 10:00
a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price
of and accrued interest on all Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. On and after the redemption
date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes to be
redeemed. 
 Section 3.08. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered. 

Section 3.09. Mandatory Redemption. 

(a) Except as set forth in Section 3.09(b), the Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with
respect to the Notes. 
 (b) If the Notes would, but for the application of this Section 3.09(b), constitute “applicable high
yield discount obligations” (“AHYDOs”) within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, and as a result the Company would otherwise be subject to limitations on their deduction of interest in respect of the Notes
pursuant to Section 163(e)(5) of the Code, then on the last day of each “accrual period” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1272-1(b)(1)(ii)) ending after the fifth anniversary of the “issue date” of the
Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each a “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), the Company shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal or interest (any such prepayment a “Special Mandatory Redemption”)
on each of the Notes, without premium or penalty, in an amount, if any, necessary to ensure that the Notes will not be treated as AHYDOs within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code. Such mandatory prepayment will be applied against
and reduce the amount due under the applicable Notes outstanding at such time (and shall be treated by the Company and the Holders of the Notes first as a payment of accrued interest (original issue discount) on such Note for U.S. federal income tax
purposes). The Company intends that the Special Mandatory Redemptions be sufficient to prevent each Note from being treated as an AHYDO within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, and this Section 3.09(b) shall be interpreted
and applied in a manner consistent with such intent. No partial redemption or repurchase of the Notes prior to each Special Mandatory Redemption Date pursuant to any other provisions of this Indenture will alter the Company’s obligation to
make the Special Mandatory Redemption with respect to any Notes that remain outstanding on each Special Mandatory Redemption Date. 
 (c)
Any redemption of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.09(b) shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02 through 3.08. In the case of any Special Mandatory Redemption, the Company shall send notice of such redemption to the Trustee 60
days before the redemption date, which notice shall specify the amount of the Special Mandatory Redemption. 

  
 49 








 ARTICLE IV. 

COVENANTS 

Section 4.01. Payment of Notes. The Company shall promptly pay the principal of and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the
manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. An installment of principal of or interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds, as of 12:00 p.m. New York City time, money sufficient to
pay all principal and interest then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue
installments of interest at the same rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful. 
 Section 4.02. Reports and Other
Information. 
 (a) So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will provide to the Trustee and, upon request, the Holders, a
copy of all of the information and reports referred to below: 
 (i) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year (or such shorter
period as may be required by the Commission, or such longer period as may be permitted by Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act), 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); provided, that, if the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide audited annual consolidated
financial statements and such other information that would have been required to be contained in a Form 10-K (or any successor or comparable form) if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, 

(ii) within 90 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year (or such shorter period as may be required
by the Commission, or such longer period as may be permitted by Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act), reports on Form 10-Q (or any successor or comparable form); provided, that, if the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements
of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements and such other information that would have been required to be contained in a Form 10-Q (or any successor or comparable
form) if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, 
 (iii) promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an
event required to be therein reported (and in any event within 15 days following the time period specified for filing current reports on Form 8-K by the Commission), such other reports on Form 8-K (or any successor or comparable form);
provided, that, if the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide such information that would have been required to be contained in a Form 8-K (or any
successor or comparable form) if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and 
 (iv) any other information,
documents and other reports which the Company would be required to file with the Commission if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. 

  
 50 








 (b) In the event that: 

(i) the rules and regulations of the Commission permit the Company and any direct or indirect parent of the Company to report at such parent
entity’s level on a consolidated basis and such parent entity is not engaged in any business in any material respect other than incidental to its ownership, directly or indirectly, of the Capital Stock of the Company, or 

(ii) any direct or indirect parent of the Company becomes a Note Guarantor, 

the Company shall be permitted to satisfy its foregoing obligations with respect to financial information relating to the Company by furnishing
financial information relating to such parent; provided that such financial information is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent and any of
its Subsidiaries other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company, the Note Guarantors, if any, and the other Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. 

(c) The Company shall, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding during any period when it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, or otherwise permitted to furnish the Commission with certain information pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) of the Exchange Act, furnish to the Holders of the Notes, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to
Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports
referred to above to the Trustee and the Holders if the Company has filed such reports with the Commission via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available. 

Section 4.03. Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock. 

(a) (i) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness
(including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock; and (ii) the Company shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Note Guarantor) to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided,
however, that the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock and any Restricted Subsidiary may issue shares of Preferred Stock, in each case if the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred or such Disqualified
Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00 determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been Incurred, or the 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 such four-quarter period. 

  
 51 








 (b) The limitations set forth in Section 4.03(a) shall not apply to: 

(i) the Incurrence by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (including under any Credit Agreement 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)) up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500.0

parent thereof, or their respective estates, spouses or former spouses, in each case to finance the purchase or redemption of Equity Interests of the Company or any of its direct or indirect
parent companies to the extent permitted pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 4.04(b). 
 For purposes of determining compliance
with this Section 4.03, (A) Indebtedness need not be Incurred solely by reference to one category of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xxiii) above or pursuant to Section 4.03(a) but is permitted to be
Incurred in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Indebtedness
described in clauses (i) through (xxiii) above or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of
Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03 and will only be required to include the amount and type of such item of Indebtedness in one of the above clauses and such item of Indebtedness will be
treated as having been Incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses or pursuant to Section 4.03(a). Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of
additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock of the Company, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or
liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in clause (3) of the
definition of “Indebtedness” shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03. Note Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of
letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the
Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03. 
 Any
Indebtedness Incurred under an ABL Facility pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(i) shall be deemed for purposes of this covenant to have been Incurred on the date such Indebtedness was first Incurred until such Indebtedness is actually repaid. 

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the
U.S. Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first
committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. Dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and
such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction shall
be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 

  
 57 








 
shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any 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.

(xix) any payments made, including any such payments made to any direct or indirect parent of the Company to enable it to make payments, in
connection with the consummation of the Transactions (other than payments to any Permitted Holder (other than Oaktree) or any Affiliate thereof); and 

(xx) cash dividends or other distributions in respect of the Company’s Capital Stock used to, or the making of loans to any direct or
indirect parent of the Company in order to, fund the payment of expenses of the type and in the amount described in clauses (iii) and (v) of Section 4.07(b) to the extent that such amounts are not paid directly by the Company or any
its Subsidiaries. 
 provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clause (vi), (vii),
(x) or (xi) of this Section 4.04(b), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof. 

(c) The Company shall not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the definition of
“Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so
designated shall be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation shall only be permitted if a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in
such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

Section 4.05. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of
the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 

(a) (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (1) on its Capital Stock or
(2) with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits; or (ii) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(b) make loans or advances to the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; or 

(c) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; 

  
 63

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


 

	 	(2)	this Indenture, the Notes (and any guarantees thereof), the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement; 

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

	 	(6)	Secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Sections 4.03 and 4.12 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness; 


 

	 	(7)	restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; 


 

	 	(8)	customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; 

  

	 	(9)	purchase money obligations and Capitalized Lease Obligations, in each case for property acquired or leased in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature discussed in clause (c) above on
the property so acquired or leased; 

  

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


  
 64 









	 	(11)	any encumbrance or restriction of a Receivables Subsidiary effected in connection with a Qualified Receivables Financing; provided, however, that such restrictions apply only to such Receivables Subsidiary;


  

	 	(12)	other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (i) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (x) that is Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.03 and
(y) in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Note Guarantor, an Officer reasonably determines in good faith that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to make anticipated
principal or interest payments on the Notes, or (ii) that is Incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary of the Company subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.03; 


 

	 	(13)	any Restricted Investment not prohibited by Section 4.04 and any Permitted Investment; or 

  

	 	(14)	any encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or
refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (1) through (13) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or
refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Company, no more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification,
restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing. 

 For purposes of determining compliance
with this Section 4.05, (i) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability
to make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a
restriction on the ability to make loans or advances. 
 Section 4.06. Asset Sales. 

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause or make an Asset Sale, unless (x) the
Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least 

  
 65 








 
equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and (y) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of: 
 (i)
any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the
Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets, 
 (ii) any notes or other obligations or other
securities or assets received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received),
and 
 (iii) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having
an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of 3.0% of Total Assets and $70.0 million at the
time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) shall be deemed
to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this Section 4.06(a). 
 (b) Within 365 days after the Company’s or any Restricted
Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option to any one or more of the following: 

(i) to repay (A) any First Priority Lien Obligations, (B) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Note Guarantor;
(C) the Notes; or (D) Pari Passu Indebtedness (provided that if the Company or any Note Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under Pari Passu Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (D), the Company shall equally and ratably reduce
Obligations under the Notes as provided pursuant to Article III, through open market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) and/or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth
below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, the pro rata principal amount of the Notes; 

(ii) to make an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of
Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or, if such Person is a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, in an increase in the percentage ownership of such Person by the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), assets, or property or capital expenditures, in each case used or useful in a Similar Business; or 

(iii) to make an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of
Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or, if 

  
 66 








 
such Person is a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, in an increase in the percentage ownership of such Person by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), properties or assets
that replace the properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale. 
 In the case of Sections 4.06(b)(ii) and (iii), a binding
commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment; provided that in the event such binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so
applied, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may satisfy its obligation as to any Net Proceeds by entering into another binding commitment within nine months of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment; provided,
further that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may only enter into such a commitment under the foregoing provision one time with respect to each Asset Sale. 

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

  
 67 








 (d) Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Asset Sale Offer is delivered to the
Trustee as provided above, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Excess Proceeds, (ii) the allocation of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sales pursuant to which such Asset Sale
Offer is being made and (iii) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(b). On such date, the Company shall also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with a paying agent (or, if the Company or a Wholly Owned
Subsidiary is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds to be invested in Cash Equivalents, as directed in writing by the Company, and to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 4.06. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes or portions thereof that have been
properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company. The Trustee (or the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price. In the event that
the Excess Proceeds delivered by the Company to the Trustee are greater than the purchase price of the Notes tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Company immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in
accordance with this Section 4.06. 
 (e) Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an
appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receive not later than
one Business Day prior to the purchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered by the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder
is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased. If at the end of the Offer Period more Notes (and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Company is required to purchase, the principal
amount of Notes (and Pari Passu Indebtedness) to be purchased will be determined pro rata based on the principal amounts so tendered and the selection of the actual Notes of each series for purchase will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis to
the extent practicable or such other similar method in accordance with the procedures of DTC; provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part. Selection of such Pari Passu Indebtedness shall be made pursuant to the terms
of such Indebtedness. 
 (f) Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be delivered electronically or mailed by first class mail, postage
prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each Holder of Notes at such Holder’s registered address. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the
portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased. 
 Section 4.07. Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell,
lease, transfer or otherwise 

  
 68 








 
dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of transactions, contract, agreement,
understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $7.5 million, unless: 

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than
those that could reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unaffiliated Person; and 

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of
$25.0 million, the Company delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such
Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above. 
 (b) The provisions of Section 4.07(a) shall not apply to the following:

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

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

(iii) [Reserved]; 
 (iv) the
payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursement of expenses paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any direct or indirect parent of the
Company; 
 (v) [Reserved]; 

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

(vii) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to directors, officers, employees or consultants that are approved by a majority of the
Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; 

  
 69 








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

(ix) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of their obligations under the terms of, any
stockholders agreement or investors rights agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date, and any agreement described in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (including the documents incorporated therein by reference), and, in each case, any amendment thereto or similar agreements that it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that
the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of their obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be
permitted by this clause (ix) to the extent that the terms of any such existing agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or any such new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in
any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (x) the execution of the Transactions and the payment
of all fees and expenses related to the Transactions; 
 (xi) (A) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, toll manufacturers or
purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, which are fair to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination
of the Board of Directors or the senior management of the Company, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party or (B) transactions with joint ventures or Unrestricted
Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (xii) any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables
Financing; 
 (xiii) the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to any Person; 

(xiv) the issuances of securities or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of,
employment arrangements, stock option and stock ownership plans or similar employee benefit plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company or of a Restricted Subsidiary, as appropriate, in
good faith;

 (xvi) any contribution to the capital of the Company; 

  
 70 








 (xvii) transactions permitted by, and complying with, Section 5.01; 

(xviii) transactions between the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person, a director of which is also a director of the
Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company or such direct or indirect parent, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person;

 (xix) pledges of Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries; 

(xx) any employment agreements entered into by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; and

Section 4.08. Change of Control. 

(a) Upon a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s
Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due
on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the terms contemplated in this Section 4.08; provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall not be obligated to purchase any
Notes pursuant to this Section 4.08 in the event that the Company has exercised its right to redeem such Notes in accordance with Article III of this Indenture. 

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent that the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes by
delivery of a notice of redemption in accordance with Article III of this Indenture, the Company shall electronically deliver or mail by first-class mail a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder with a copy to the
Trustee stating: 
 (i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase such
Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest on the relevant interest payment date); 
 (ii) the circumstances and relevant facts and financial information regarding
such Change of Control; 
 (iii) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such
notice is electronically delivered or mailed by first-class mail); and 
 (iv) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with
this Section 4.08, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased. 

  
 71 








 (c) Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an
appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. The Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receive not later
than one Business Day prior to the purchase date a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased. Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. 

(d) On the purchase date, all Notes purchased by the Company under this Section shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the
Company shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto. 
 (e) A Change of Control
Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned 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. 

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

(h) Prior to any Change of Control Offer, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel
stating that all conditions precedent contained herein to the right of the Company to make such offer have been complied with. 
 (i) The
Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.08, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this
Section by virtue thereof. 
 Section 4.09. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days
after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2014, an Officer’s Certificate stating that in the course of the 

  
 72 








 
performance by the signer of his or her duties as an Officer of the Company he or she would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default that occurred
during such period. If he or she does, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Company also shall comply with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA. 

Section 4.10. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall execute and deliver such further
instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 

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

Section 4.12. Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Note Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur,
assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures any Indebtedness on any asset or property of the Company or any Note Guarantor, other than Liens on Collateral securing Indebtedness that are junior in priority to the Liens on
such property or assets securing the Notes pursuant to the terms of an intercreditor agreement not materially less favorable with respect to the holders of the Notes than the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement are with respect to the holders of
the First Priority Lien Obligations thereunder. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (A) a Lien
securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Liens described in clauses (1) through (32) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” but may be permitted in part under any
combination thereof and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Liens described in clauses
(1) through (32) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion
thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.12 and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien in one of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted
Liens” and such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness will be treated as being Incurred or existing pursuant to only one of such clauses. 

With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such
Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of
interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock of the Company, the payment of dividends on
Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or 

  
 73 








 
liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing
Indebtedness described in clause (3) of the definition of “Indebtedness.” 
 Section 4.13. After-Acquired
Property. Subject to Section 11.01 of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, and the Security Documents, if at any time after the Issue Date the Company or any Note Guarantor own any First Priority After-Acquired Property, the Company
or such Note Guarantor shall, as promptly as practicable after such property is acquired or such Subsidiary becomes a Note Guarantor, execute and deliver such mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, security instruments, financing
statements and certificates or such other documentation as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee, a perfected Lien (with the priority required hereunder and under the Security
Documents), subject only to Permitted Liens, in such First Priority After-Acquired Property and to have such First Priority After-Acquired Property added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral
shall be deemed to relate to such First Priority After-Acquired Property to the same extent and with the same force and effect; provided, however, that if granting a security interest in such property, including property acquired in
connection with an Asset Sale involving non-cash consideration, requires the consent of a third party, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent with respect to such security interest in favor of the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee; provided further, however, that if such party does not consent to the granting of such security interest after the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, the applicable entity will
not be required to provide such security interest. 
 Section 4.14. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

(a) The Company shall maintain one or more offices or agencies where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange
and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If
at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust office
of the Trustee as set forth in Section 13.02. 
 (b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of
its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

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

 Section 4.16. [Reserved]. 

Section 4.17. Suspension of Certain Covenants. 

(a) Following the first day (the “Suspension Date”) that: 

 

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


 

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

 the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be
subject to Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.11 and Section 5.01(a)(4) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). In addition, in such event, the Company may also elect to release any or all of the Collateral from the
Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees by electronically delivering or mailing by first-class mail a notice of such election to the Collateral Agent. 

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

(c) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a
result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period. During any Suspension Period, the Company shall not designate any Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless the Company would have been permitted to
designate such Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if a Suspension Period had not been in effect for any period. 
 (d) On the
Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or one of the clauses set forth in
Section 4.03(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would be permitted to be Incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred or issued prior to the
Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the 

  
 75 








 
extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would not be so permitted to be Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b), such Indebtedness or
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(iii). For purposes of Section 4.11, all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified
Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date by any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Note Guarantor will be deemed to have been Incurred on the Reversion Date. Calculations made after the
Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 shall be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments
made during the Suspension Period shall reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a) and the items specified in clauses (A) through (F) of the definition of “Cumulative Credit” shall
increase the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a). For purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.06 on the Reversion Date, the Net Proceeds from all Asset Sales not applied in accordance with
Section 4.06 shall be deemed to be reset to zero. 
 ARTICLE V. 

SUCCESSOR COMPANY 

Section 5.01. When Company May Merge or Transfer Assets. (a) The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, consolidate,
amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up or convert into (whether or not the Company is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more
related transactions, to any Person unless: 
 (i) the Company is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation, amalgamation, merger, winding up or conversion (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability
company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (the Company or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”);
provided that in the case where the surviving Person is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation; 
 (ii) the
Successor Company (if other than the Company) expressly assumes all the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee; 
 (iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the
Successor Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; and 
 (iv) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures (if any) comply with this Indenture. 

  
 76 








 The Successor Company (if other than the Company) shall succeed to, and be substituted for, the
Company under this Indenture and the Notes, and in such event the Company will automatically be released and discharged from their obligations under this Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (iii) of this
Section 5.01, (x) subject to the restrictions on Note Guarantors described in Section 5.0l(b), any Restricted Subsidiary may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Company or
to another Restricted Subsidiary, and (y) the Company may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another state of the United States, the District of Columbia or
any territory of the United States or may convert into a limited liability company, so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. This Article V will not apply to a sale, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (b) Subject to the
provisions of Section 12.02(b) (which govern the release of a Note Guarantee upon the sale or disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Note Guarantor), each Note Guarantor shall not, and the Company shall not permit any Note Guarantor
to, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Note Guarantor is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in
one or more related transactions to, any Person unless: 
 (i) either (A) such Note Guarantor is the surviving Person or the Person
formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than such Note Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation, partnership or
limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Note Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the
“Successor Note Guarantor”) and the Successor Note Guarantor (if other than such Note Guarantor) expressly assumes all the obligations of such Note Guarantor under this Indenture and such Note Guarantor’s Note Guarantee
pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, or (b) such sale or disposition or consolidation, amalgamation or merger is not in violation of Section 4.06; and 

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

Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Successor Note Guarantor (if other than such Note Guarantor) will succeed to, and be
substituted for, such Note Guarantor under this Indenture and such Note Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, and such Note Guarantor will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and such Note


  
 77 








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

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if: 

(a) there is a default in any payment of interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period
of 30 days, 
 (b) there is a default in the payment of principal of any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption,
upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise, 
 (c) the Company fails to comply with its obligations under Section 5.01,

 (d) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary fails to comply with any of its other agreements contained in the Notes or this Indenture
(other than those referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after the notice specified below, 

(e) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary fails to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, in each case, if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $50.0
million or its foreign currency equivalent, 
 (f) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any
Bankruptcy Law: 
 (i) commences a voluntary case; 

  
 78 








 (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; 

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

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

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

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

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

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

(h) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary fails to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $50.0 million or its foreign currency
equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days following the entry thereof, 

(i) any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any
Note Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or any Note Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days, 

(j) unless such Liens have been released in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, and this
Indenture, the Liens with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral cease to be valid or enforceable, or the Company shall assert or any Note Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such
security interest is invalid or unenforceable and, in the case of any such Person that is a Subsidiary of the Company, the Company fails to cause such Subsidiary to rescind such assertions within 30 days after the Company has actual knowledge of
such assertions, or 
 (k) the failure by the Company or any Note Guarantor to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements
contained in the Security Documents except for a failure that would not be material to the holders of the Notes and would not materially affect the value of the Collateral taken as a whole. 

  
 79 








 Each of the foregoing shall constitute an Event of Default whatever the reason for any such Event
of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors.
The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 

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

Section 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or
(g) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes, by notice to the Company may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the
Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of and
accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding
Notes by notice to the Trustee may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. 
 In the event of any
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee
or the Holders of the Notes, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has
been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the Default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured,
it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events. 

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture or the Security Documents. 

  
 80 








 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not
produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event
of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative. 

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration,
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default
arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected.
When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any
consequent right. 
 Section 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this
Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee
shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

(a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this
Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing; 

(ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

 (iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or
expense; 
 (iv) the Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or
indemnity; and 
 (v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with such request during such 60-day period. 
 (b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another
Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 

  
 81 








 Section 6.07. Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement
of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.0l(a) or (b) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the
extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Notes) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07. 

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

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

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

SECOND: to the Holders for payment of amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal; and 
 THIRD: the balance, if any, to the Company or, to the extent the
Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, collects any amount for any Note Guarantor, to such Note Guarantor. 

  
 82 








 The Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may fix a record date and payment date
for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall deliver to each Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the
payment date and amount to be paid. 
 Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and
the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes. 

Section 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Neither the Company nor any Note Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so)
shall at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of
this Indenture; and the Company and each Note Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE VII.

 TRUSTEE 

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

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

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

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. The Trustee shall be under no duty to make any investigation as to any statement contained in any such instance,
but may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statement or the correctness of such opinions. However, in the case of certificates or opinions required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Trustee shall
examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 

  
 83 








 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph
(b) of this Section; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it
is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05; and 
 (iv) no
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. 

(d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section. 
 (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with
the Company. 
 (f) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

(g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA. 
 (h) The Trustee shall have no obligation to perform
mathematical calculations in performing its duties. 
 Section 7.02. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may conclusively
rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both reasonably
satisfactory to it. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may request that the Company and any Note Guarantor deliver a
certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers (with specimen signatures) authorized at such times to take specific actions pursuant to this Indenture, which certificate may be signed by any person specified as so
authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 

  
 84 








 (c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or
negligence of any agent appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence. 

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to
this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to
examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the Company and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 

(g) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction. 
 (h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

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

(j) Any action taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Trustee in good faith pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or authority or
consent of any person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon future Holders of Notes and upon Notes executed and delivered in exchange therefor or
in place thereof. 

  
 85 








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

(l) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for preparation, filing, continuation or correctness of financing statements or the
validity, enforceability or perfection of any lien or security interest purported to be created securing the Notes. 
 (m) The permissive
rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties. 
 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent or Registrar may do the
same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
 Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, any Note Guarantee or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it
shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company or any Note Guarantor in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under Sections 6.01(c), (d), (e), (h), (i), (j) or (k) or of the identity of any Significant Subsidiary unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof in accordance with Section 13.02 hereof from the Company, any Note Guarantor or any Holder. Delivery of reports to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof shall not constitute actual or constructive
knowledge of, or notice to, the Trustee of the information contained therein. In accepting the trust hereby created, the Trustee acts solely as Trustee for the Holders of the Notes and not in its individual capacity and all Persons, including
without limitation the Holders of Notes and the Company having any claim against the Trustee arising from this Indenture shall look only to the funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder for payment except as otherwise provided herein. The
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the terms of any agreement to which it is not a party. 
 Section 7.05. Notice of
Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to each Holder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a
Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in
good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 
 Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to the
Holders. Within 60 days after each June 30 beginning with June 30, 2015, and in any event prior to August 31 in each year, the Trustee shall deliver to each Holder a brief report dated as of such June 30 that complies with
Section 313(a) of the TIA if and to the extent required thereby. The Trustee shall also comply with Section 313(b) of the TIA. 

  
 86 








 A copy of each report at the time of its delivery to the Holders shall be filed by the Company
with the Commission and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are listed. The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 

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

To secure the Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the
Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. 

The Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of
this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs


  
 87 








 
expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the
Bankruptcy Law. 
 No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction. 

The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and their counsel for services provided in
connection with review, revision, execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Agreement, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement (as well as any amendments, waivers or supplements to any of them or related
documents entered into from time to time) (i) in the case of this Indenture, no later than the date of its execution (to the extent invoiced by such date) and (ii) with respect to other documentation, promptly upon presentation to the
Company of a written invoice for such fees and expenses. 
 Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the
Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 
 (i) the Trustee fails
to comply with Section 7.10; 
 (ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

(b) If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such Holders do
not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

 (c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall deliver a notice of its succession to the
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07. 

  
 88 








 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in
Section 310(b) of the TIA, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates
with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the
successor Trustee. 
 In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed
to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so
authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and
in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the
TIA. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA, subject to its right to apply for
a stay of its duty to resign under the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA any series of securities issued under this
Indenture and any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the
TIA are met. 
 Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company. The Trustee shall comply with
Section 311(a) of the TIA, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the TIA. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the TIA to the extent indicated. 

  
 89 








 ARTICLE VIII. 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further
effect as to all outstanding Notes when: 
 (a) either (i) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes
pursuant to Section 2.08 that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such
trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all of the Notes (a) have become due and payable, (b) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (c) if redeemable at the option of
the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company has irrevocably
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in an amount sufficient in the written opinion of a firm of independent public accountants
delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations have been so deposited) to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, for principal of, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

 (b) the Company and/or the Note Guarantors have paid all other sums payable under this Indenture; and 

(c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent
under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 
 Subject to Sections 8.01(c)
and 8.02, the Company at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Notes, this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) and the Security Documents (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations under
Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13 and the operation of Section 5.01 and Sections 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.01(g)
(with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.0l(h), 6.01(i), 6.01(j) and 6.01(k) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its
covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Company terminates all of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) by exercising its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, the obligations
of each Note Guarantor with respect to the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations. 

If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.
If the Company exercises its 

  
 90 








 
covenant defeasance option with respect to the Notes, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e),
6.01(f) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.01(h), 6.01(i), 6.01(j) or 6.01(k) or because of the failure of the Company to comply with
Section 5.01(a)(4). 
 Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall
acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates. 
 (d) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and
(b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 7.07, 7.08 and in this Article VIII shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07,
8.05 and 8.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
 Section 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. 

(a) The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if: 

(i) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee, cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations or
a combination thereof, in an amount sufficient or, in the case of Government Obligations, the principal of and interest on which will be sufficient, to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes when due at maturity or redemption, as the case
may be, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date; 
 (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a
nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Dollar-denominated Government
Obligations, plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due on all the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(iii) 123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with
respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 
 (iv) the deposit does not constitute a default under any
other agreement binding on the Company; 
 (v) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel stating that (1) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (2) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income
tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not 

  
 91 








 
occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required with respect to a legal defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation have become due and payable; 
 (vi) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and 
 (vii) the Company
delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes to be so defeased and discharged as contemplated by this Article VIII have
been complied with. 
 (b) Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of
such Notes at a future date in accordance with Article III. 
 Section 8.03. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold
in trust money, U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations (including proceeds thereof) deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Dollar-denominated Government
Obligations through each Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes so discharged or defeased. 

Section 8.04. Repayment to Company. Each of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request
any money, U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article which, in the written opinion of nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the
Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations have been so deposited), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or
defeasance in accordance with this Article. 
 Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay
to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors, and
the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 
 Section 8.05. Indemnity for
Government Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such Government
Obligations. 
 Section 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government
Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII by reason of any 

  
 92 








 
legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations
under this Indenture and the Notes so discharged or defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or any Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money,
U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on, any such Notes because of the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE IX. 

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS 

Section 9.01. Without Consent of the Holders. The Company, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee may amend this Indenture, the
Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document without notice to or consent of any Holder: 
 (i) to cure any ambiguity,
omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency; 
 (ii) to comply with Article V; 

(iii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; provided, however, that the uncertificated
Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; 

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

(v) to secure the Notes and the Note Guarantees, to add additional assets as Collateral, to release Collateral as permitted under this
Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement and to add additional secured creditors holding Other First Priority Obligations, Other Pari Passu Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations, ABL Obligations or additional First Priority
Lien Obligations so long as such obligations are not prohibited by this Indenture or the Security Documents; 
 (vi) to amend, modify or
enter into this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement in connection with the Transactions (including with respect to entry into the ABL Facility); 

(vii) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the
Company; 
 (viii) to comply with any requirement of (A) the Commission in connection with qualifying, or maintaining the
qualification of, this Indenture under the TIA or (B) the Intercreditor Agreement; 

  
 93 








 (ix) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or 

(x) to provide for the issuance of any Additional Notes, which shall have terms substantially identical in all material respects to the
Original Notes, and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding Original Notes, as a single issue of securities. 
 In addition,
pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, any amendment, waiver or consent to any of the collateral documents with respect to ABL Obligations or First Priority Lien Obligations will also apply automatically to the comparable Security Documents with
respect to the Notes to the extent set forth therein. 
 After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company
shall electronically deliver or mail by first-class mail to the respective Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders entitled to receive such notice, or any defect therein, shall not
impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.01. 
 Section 9.02. With Consent of the Holders.
(a) The Company, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee may amend this Indenture, the Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes) and any past Default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding
Note affected, no amendment may: 
 (i) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, 

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

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

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

(vi) expressly subordinate the Notes or any Note Guarantees to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Note Guarantor, 

  
 94 








 (vii) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, and interest on, such
Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes, 

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

(ix) except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Indenture, modify any Note Guarantee in any manner adverse in any material respect to
the Holders. 
 In addition, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes), no amendment or waiver may (i) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien
of this Indenture and the Security Documents with respect to the Notes, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or (ii) make any change in the provisions in the Intercreditor Agreement or this Indenture or any material change in the
provisions in the Security Documents, in each case dealing with the application of proceeds of Collateral upon the exercise of remedies with respect to such Collateral that would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment under this Section 9.02
becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this
Section 9.02. 
 Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment, waiver or supplement to this Indenture
or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers.
(a) A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the
consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which
the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate from the Company certifying that the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes
effective upon the (i) receipt by the Company or the Trustee of consents by the Holders of the requisite principal amount of securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture
supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Company and the Trustee. 

(b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their
consent or take any other action 

  
 95 








 
described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were
Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders
after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 
 Section 9.05.
Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Company may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note
regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 9.06. Trustee and Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall sign any amendment,
supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. If it does, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may but
need not sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Note
Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). 

Section 9.07. Payment for Consent. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, pay or
cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is
offered to be paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

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

Section 9.09. Providing Evidence of Amendments to Trustee. In the event of any amendments, supplements, modifications, extensions,
renewals or restatements to any Credit Agreement or any of the Senior Collateral Documents (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) that in each case impacts the Note Documents pursuant to Section 5.3(b) of the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Company shall promptly provide the documentation evidencing such change to the Trustee.

representing creditors (or certain of the creditors) in any insolvency or liquidation proceedings and, if appointed, to serve and act as a member of such committee without being in any respect restricted or bound by, or liable for, any of the
obligations under this Article X; 
 (v) to seek or object to the appointment of any professional person to serve in any capacity in any
insolvency or liquidation proceeding or to support or object to any request for compensation made by any professional person or others therein;

disposition of the case or proceeding.

 ARTICLE XI. 

COLLATERAL 

Section 11.01. Security Documents. (a) The payment of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes
when due, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise and whether by the Company pursuant to the Notes or by a Note Guarantor pursuant to its Note Guarantee, the payment of all other
Obligations and the performance of all other obligations of the Company and the Note Guarantors under the Note Documents and payment of any Other Pari Passu Obligations, if any, will be secured as provided in the Security Documents (subject to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) to be entered into by the Company, the Note Guarantors and the Collateral Agent (and, to the extent applicable, the Trustee and the representative of the holders of Other Pari Passu Obligations) as required or
permitted by this Indenture. 
 (b) The Company shall, and shall cause each Note Guarantor to, and each Note Guarantor shall execute the
Collateral Agreement and each other Security Document necessary to create a Lien in all the assets of the Company and each Note Guarantor securing First Priority Lien Obligations on the Issue Date (other than Excluded Assets) and the Intercreditor
Agreement, and make all filings and take all other actions as are necessary or required by the Security Documents to establish and maintain (at the sole cost and expense of the Company and the Note Guarantors) the security interest created by the
Security Documents in the Collateral (other than with respect to any Collateral the security interest in which is not required to be perfected under the Security Documents) as a perfected security interest. In the case of real property owned by the
Company or a Note Guarantor on the Issue Date that is subject to a mortgage that secures the First Priority Lien Obligations other than Excluded Assets, the Company or any Note Guarantor, as applicable, shall also deliver (the following,
collectively, “Mortgage Deliverables”), but, if First Priority Lien Obligations are in effect when mortgages were put in place to secure First Priority Lien Obligations, only to the extent such deliverables were provided to the
holders of the First Priority Lien Obligations in connection with their mortgage on such property: (i) a policy or policies or marked-up unconditional binder of lender’s title insurance, paid for by the Company and the Note Guarantors,
issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company, insuring the Lien of each mortgage as a valid Lien on the mortgaged property described therein, free of any title exceptions and other Liens except Permitted Liens, (ii) an as-is survey
of the property subject to any such mortgage certified to the Company, Collateral Agent and the title company, meeting minimum standard detail requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys and dated (or redated) not earlier than six months prior to
the date of delivery thereof under such First Priority Lien Obligations, (iii) a customary Opinion of Counsel addressing such matters as were addressed in the comparable opinion provided to the holders of First Priority Lien Obligations,
(iv) evidence of insurance required to be maintained pursuant to the mortgages and this Indenture, and (v) if required by applicable law, flood hazard determination certificates and, if required, notices to the record owner of any
improvements in a special flood hazard area, together with evidence of acceptable flood insurance coverage. 

  
 98 








 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of any other Note Document, (i) if
perfected security interests in any property or any applicable Mortgage Deliverables are not provided on the Issue Date, the Company and the Note Guarantors need not provide such security interests or applicable Mortgage Deliverables on such date,
but shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such perfected security interests or Mortgage Deliverables within 120 days from such date and (ii) with respect to any mortgage required to be delivered by Section 11.01(b), such
mortgage may be provided in the form of a new instrument and/or amendments to any existing instruments so long as (A) the mortgagee under such existing instrument is the Collateral Agent or has otherwise agreed to act as agent for the holders
of the Note Obligations, and (B) the Mortgage Deliverables are delivered in connection with the amendment to such existing instrument, provided if such mortgage is in the form of an amendment, the title policy may be in the form of an
endorsement to the existing title insurance policy. 
 (d) If the Company or any Note Guarantor acquires any property that is required to
be Collateral pursuant to Article IV, or any Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Note Guarantor that is required to pledge its assets as Collateral pursuant to Article IV, the Company or such Note Guarantor shall execute a joinder to an
existing Security Document or enter into a new Security Document (in each case, to the extent necessary to cause such asset be so pledged), and take all steps necessary to validly perfect such Lien, subject to no prior Liens other than Permitted
Liens (including the First Priority Liens on such assets). To the extent that the Company or such Note Guarantor are entering into a joinder, entering into a new Security Document, providing Mortgage Deliverables (in the case of real property) or
taking other steps to perfect such Lien in order to secure First Priority Lien Obligations or ABL Obligations, the Company or such Note Guarantor may take the same steps in connection with this Indenture (with such changes as are appropriate to
reflect the applicable priority of the Lien consistent with the terms of the Security Documents and the Liens being created on the Issue Date), which shall satisfy the obligations hereunder, and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable,
are authorized and directed to execute any documentation consistent therewith. 
 (e) The Company and each Note Guarantor shall execute any
and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements or amendments or continuation statements in respect thereof), that may be
required under any applicable law, to ensure that the Liens of the Security Documents on the Collateral remain perfected with the priority required by the Security Documents, all at the expense of the Company and Note Guarantors and provide to the
Collateral Agent and the Trustee, from time to time upon reasonable request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security
Documents. 
 Section 11.02. Collateral Agent. (a) The Collateral Agent is authorized and empowered to appoint one or more
co-Collateral Agents as it deems necessary or appropriate. 

  
 99 








 (b) Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be responsible or liable for the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Security Documents, for the
creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Second Priority Lien, or for any defect or deficiency as to any such matters, or for any failure to demand, collect, foreclose or realize upon or otherwise enforce any of the Second
Priority Liens or Security Documents or any delay in doing so. 
 (c) The Collateral Agent (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement) will be subject to such directions as may be given it by the Trustee from time to time (as required or permitted by this Indenture). Except as directed by the Trustee as required or permitted by this Indenture and any other
representatives, the Collateral Agent will not be obligated: 
 (i) to act upon directions purported to be delivered to it by any other
Person; 
 (ii) to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Second Priority Lien; or 

(iii) to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Second Priority Liens, Security Documents or Collateral. 

(d) The Collateral Agent will be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the enforcement of the Second Priority
Liens or Security Documents. 
 (e) In acting as Collateral Agent or co-Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent and each co-Collateral Agent
may rely upon and enforce each and all of the rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and benefits of the Trustee under Article VII hereof. 

(f) The Holders of Notes agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the rights, privileges, protections, immunities, indemnities
and benefits provided to the Collateral Agent by the Security Documents. Furthermore, each Holder of a Note, by accepting such Note, consents to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents described herein and authorizes and
directs the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to enter into and perform the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents. 
 (g) If
the Company (i) Incurs First Priority Lien Obligations at any time when no intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting First Priority Lien Obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing intercreditor
agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement in favor of a designated agent or representative
for the holders of the First Priority Lien Obligations so Incurred, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe
its obligations thereunder. If the Company (i) Incurs ABL Obligations at any time when no intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting ABL Obligations entitled to


  
 100 








 
the benefit of an existing intercreditor agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Collateral
Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the ABL Obligations so Incurred, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor
agreement bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder. 
 Section 11.03.
Authorization of Actions to Be Taken. (a) Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of each Security Document, the Intercreditor Agreement and authorizes and empowers the Trustee and the Collateral
Agent to bind the Holders of Notes and other holders of Obligations as set forth in the Security Documents to which it is a party, and the Intercreditor Agreement and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights and powers thereunder. 

(b) The Collateral Agent and the Trustee are authorized and empowered to receive for the benefit of the Holders of Notes any funds collected
or distributed under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement to which the Collateral Agent or Trustee is a party and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders of Notes according to the provisions of this Indenture,
the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, Section 7.02 and the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, direct, on behalf of the Holders, the Collateral Agent to take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to: 

(i) foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any or all of the Second Priority Liens; 

(ii) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent or Trustee is a party; or 

(iii) collect and receive payment of any and all Obligations hereunder. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized and
empowered to institute and maintain, or direct the Collateral Agent to institute and maintain, such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to protect or enforce the Second Priority Liens or the Security Documents to which the Collateral
Agent or Trustee is a party or to prevent any impairment of Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent or Trustee is a party or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings
as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of Notes in the Collateral, including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of
or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Second Priority Liens on
the Collateral or be prejudicial to the interests of Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. 

  
 101 








 Section 11.04. Release of Collateral. (a) Subject to subsections (b) and
(c) of this Section 11.04, the Collateral may be released from the Second Priority Liens created by the Security Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the
Intercreditor Agreement. The applicable assets included in the Collateral shall be released from the Second Priority Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees at the Company’s sole cost and expense, under any one or more of the following
circumstances: 
 (i) upon the release of all Liens on such property or assets securing First Priority Lien Obligations; provided, however,
that if the Company or any Note Guarantor subsequently Incurs First Priority Lien Obligations that are secured by Liens on property or assets of the Company or any Note Guarantor of the type constituting the Collateral and the related Liens are
Incurred in reliance on clause (8)(B) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be required to reinstitute the security arrangements with respect to the Collateral in favor of the
Notes and the Note Guarantees, which will be junior Liens on the Collateral securing such First Priority Lien Obligations (other than Excluded Assets) to the same extent provided under the Security Documents and on the terms and conditions of the
security documents relating to such First Priority Lien Obligations, with the junior Lien held either by the administrative agent, collateral agent or other representative for such First Priority Lien Obligations or by a collateral agent or other
representative designated by the Company to hold the junior Liens for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and the Note Guarantees and subject to an intercreditor agreement that provides the administrative agent or collateral agent for such First
Priority Lien Obligations substantially the same rights, powers and obligations as afforded under the Intercreditor Agreement; 
 (ii) to
enable the Company and Note Guarantors to consummate the disposition of such property or assets to the extent not prohibited under the covenant described under Section 4.06; 

(iii) in respect of the property and assets of a Note Guarantor, upon the designation of such Note Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary
in accordance with the covenant described under Section 4.04 and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”; 
 (iv) in
respect of the property and assets of a Note Guarantor, upon the release or discharge of the Note Guarantee of such Note Guarantor in accordance with this Indenture; 

(v) in respect of the property and assets of the Company or a Note Guarantor that at any time is not subject to a Lien securing First
Priority Lien Obligations at such time; provided that if such property and assets are subsequently subject to a Lien securing First Priority Lien Obligations (other than Excluded Assets), such property and assets shall subsequently constitute
Collateral hereunder; 
 (vi) in the case of a Note Guarantor making a Transfer to any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such
Transfer is permitted by clause (y) of the last paragraph of Section 5.01; 

  
 102 








 (vii) pursuant to an amendment or waiver in accordance with Article IX; 

(viii) if the Notes have been discharged or defeased pursuant to Section 8.01; and 

(ix) upon the Company’s election to release any Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes and Guarantees pursuant to
Section 4.17. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default under this Indenture exists on the date on which the First
Priority Lien Obligations are repaid in full and terminated (including all commitments and letters of credit thereunder), the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes will not be released, except to the extent the Collateral or any
portion thereof was disposed of in order to repay the First Priority Lien Obligations secured by the Collateral, and thereafter the Trustee or another designated representative (acting at the direction of the holders of a majority of outstanding
principal amount of the Notes and Other Pari Passu Obligations) will have the right to direct the First Priority Representative to foreclose upon the Collateral (but in such event, the Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes will be released when
such Event of Default and all other Events of Default under this Indenture cease to exist). 
 Upon the receipt of an Officer’s
Certificate from the Company, as described in Section 11.04(b) below, if applicable, and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Company, the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or
acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement. 

(b) Except as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, in connection with (x) any release of Collateral pursuant to
Section 11.04(a)(i), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) above, such Collateral may not be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security Documents and (y) any release of Collateral pursuant to
Section 11.04(a)(ii), the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute, deliver or acknowledge any instruments of termination, satisfaction or release, unless, in either case (x) or (y), an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of
Counsel certifying that all conditions precedent have been met and stating under which of the circumstances set forth in Section 11.04(a) above the Collateral is being released have been delivered to the Collateral Agent on or prior to the date
of such release. 
 (c) At any time when a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the maturity of the Notes has
been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise) and the Trustee has delivered a notice of acceleration to the Collateral Agent, no release of Collateral pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or the Security Documents will be effective
as against the Holders, except as otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreement or, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, in connection with the exercise of remedies by the Collateral Agent. 

Section 11.05. Filing, Recording and Opinions. (a) The Company will comply with the provisions of TIA Sections 314(b), 314(c)
and 314(d), in each case following qualification of this Indenture pursuant to the TIA and except to the extent not required as set forth in any Commission regulation or interpretation (including any no-action letter issued by the Staff


  
 103 








 
of the Commission, whether issued to the Company or any other Person). Following such qualification, to the extent the Company is required to furnish to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an
Opinion of Counsel pursuant to TIA Section 314(b)(2), the Company will furnish such opinion not more than 60 but not less than 30 days prior to each December 30. 

Any release of Collateral permitted by Section 11.04 hereof will be deemed not to impair the Liens under this Indenture and the Security
Documents in contravention thereof and any Person that is required to deliver an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 314(d) of the TIA shall be entitled to rely upon the foregoing as a basis for delivery of such
certificate or opinion. The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Section 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, accept as conclusive evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate statements contained in such documents and Opinion of
Counsel. 
 If any Collateral is released in accordance with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document and if the
Company has delivered the certificates and documents required by the Security Documents and Section 11.04, the Trustee will determine whether it has received all documentation required by TIA Section 314(d) in connection with such release
and, based on such determination and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 11.04, will, upon request, deliver a certificate to the Collateral Agent setting forth such determination. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be required to comply with all or any portion of
Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act if they determine, in good faith based on advice of counsel, that under the terms of that section and/or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the Commission and its staff,
including “no action” letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act is inapplicable to the released Collateral. 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, certain no action letters issued by the Commission have permitted an indenture qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act to contain provisions permitting the release of collateral from Liens under such indenture in the ordinary course of business without requiring the Company to provide certificates and other documents under
Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 Section 11.06. [Reserved]. 

Section 11.07. Release Upon Termination of the Company’s Obligations. In the event that (i) the Company delivers to the
Trustee, in form and substance acceptable to it, an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying that all the obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents have been satisfied and discharged by the payment in
full of the Company’s obligations under the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents, and all such obligations have been so satisfied, or (ii) a discharge, legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of this Indenture occurs under
Article VIII, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company and the Collateral Agent a notice stating that the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral, and any rights it has under the
Security Documents, and upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee and shall do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary to release
such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable. 

  
 104 








 Section 11.08. Designations. Except as provided in the next sentence, for purposes of
the provisions hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement requiring the Company to designate Indebtedness for the purposes of the terms First Priority Lien Obligations, Other Pari Passu Obligations, Other First Priority Obligations, ABL Obligations,
Junior Lien Obligations or any other such designations hereunder or under the Intercreditor Agreement, any such designation shall be sufficient if the relevant designation provides in writing that such First Priority Lien Obligations, Other Pari
Passu Obligations, Other First Priority Obligations, ABL Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations or such other designations are permitted under this Indenture and is signed on behalf of the Company by an Officer and delivered to the Trustee, the
Collateral Agent, the First Priority Representative and the representative with respect to Junior Lien Obligations. For all purposes hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Company hereby designates the Obligations pursuant to the ABL Facility
and indenture governing the Existing First Lien Notes as in effect on the Issue Date as First Priority Lien Obligations. 
 ARTICLE XII.

 NOTE GUARANTEES 

Section 12.01. Note Guarantees. (a) Each Note Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantees on a senior basis, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by
redemption or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Company
under this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Notes
(all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Note Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further
assent from each such Note Guarantor, and that each such Note Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article XII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligations. 

(b) Each Note Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and
also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Note Guarantor waives notice of any Default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any
Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of this Indenture,
the Notes or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any Note Guarantor; (v) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(vi) any change in the ownership of such Note Guarantor, except in each case as provided in Section 12.02(b). 

  
 105 








 (c) Each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its
obligations hereunder divided among the Note Guarantors, such that such Note Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed. Each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the
Company first be used and depleted as payment of the Company’s or such Note Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Note Guarantor hereunder. Each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to
which it may be entitled to require that the Company be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Note Guarantor. 
 (d) Each
Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent
on behalf of the Holders and the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (e) Except as expressly set
forth in Sections 8.01(b), 12.02 and 12.06, the obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration
or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Note Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this
Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any
other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Note Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Note Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

(f) Each Note Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed
Obligations. Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation
is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise. 

(g) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against
any Note Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to
perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Note Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to
the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary
obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee. 

  
 106 








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

(j) Upon request of the Trustee, each Note Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be
reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 
 Section 12.02. Limitation on
Liability. (a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Note Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be
hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Note Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

(b) A Note Guarantee as to any Note Guarantor shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Note Guarantor shall be deemed to
be released from all obligations under this Article XII upon: 
 (i) the sale, disposition or other transfer (including through merger or
consolidation) of the Capital Stock (including any sale, disposition or other transfer following which the applicable Note Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary) or all or substantially all the assets of the applicable Note Guarantor if
such sale, disposition or other transfer is made in compliance with this Indenture and such Note Guarantor is released from its guarantees, if any, of, and all pledges and security, if any, granted in connection with, any Credit Agreement and any
other Indebtedness of the Company or any Note Guarantor,

Note Guarantor, enforceable against such Note Guarantor in accordance with its terms and/or to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

Collateral Agent an incumbency certificate listing officers by name and title with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers with their direct

the risk of the Trustee and Collateral Agent acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of
transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and Collateral Agent and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in
connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee and Collateral Agent immediately upon learning of
any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures. 
 “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods:
S.W.I.F.T., e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Trustee and Collateral Agent, or another method or system specified by the
Trustee or Collateral Agent as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.

Holders with Other Holders. The Holders may communicate pursuant to Section 312(b) of the TIA with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes. The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and other Persons shall

 (a) an Officer’s Certificate in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral
Agent, as applicable stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and 

(b) an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable stating that, in the opinion
of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with.

 Section 13.05. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate or
opinion with respect to compliance with a covenant or condition provided for in this Indenture (other than pursuant to Section 4.09) shall include: 

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

(b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such
certificate or opinion are based; 
 (c) a statement that, in the opinion of such individual, he has made such examination or investigation
as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 

(d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such individual, such covenant or condition has been complied with; provided,
however, that with respect to matters of fact an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate or certificates of public officials. 

Section 13.06. When Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred
in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, any Note Guarantor or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Note Guarantor shall be
disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination. 

Section 13.07. Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of
the Holders. The Registrar and a Paying Agent may make reasonable rules for their functions. 
 Section 13.08. Legal Holidays.

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

 Section 13.13.
Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and
shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

that any provision of the Notes limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of this Indenture, such provision of this Indenture shall control. 

Section 13.15. Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,

disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services. 

Section 13.17. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Company, the Note Guarantors, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the transactions contemplated hereby.


  
 112 








 Section 13.18. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Company, the Note Guarantors, the
Collateral Agent and the Trustee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding against the Company, any Note Guarantor, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee arising out of or based upon this
Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any U.S. federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and (b) waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively

other following subparagraphs, as applicable: 
 (i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. In
connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in any Global Note, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar (1) a written order from an Agent Member given to the Depository in accordance with
the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository, directing the Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and
(2) instructions given in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository, containing information regarding the Agent Member account to be credited with such increase. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for
transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note pursuant to
Section 2.2(g). 
 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes for Definitive Notes. A beneficial interest
in a Global Note may not be exchanged for a Definitive Note except under the circumstances described in Section 2.l(b)(ii). A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a
Definitive Note except under the circumstances described in Section 2.1(b)(ii). 
 (d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for
Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. Transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (i) below:

increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes. If any such transfer or exchange is effected pursuant to this subparagraph (i) at a time when a Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company shall
issue and, upon receipt of a written order of the Company in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Definitive
Notes transferred or exchanged pursuant to this subparagraph (i). 

  
 Appendix A-3 








 (e) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon
request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.2(e), the Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange,
the requesting Holder shall present or surrender to the Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly
authorized in writing. In addition, the requesting Holder shall provide any additional certifications, documents and information required pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 2.2(e). 

(i) A Holder of a Definitive Note may transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a
Definitive Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the Definitive Notes pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof. 

(f) [Reserved]. 

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

(h) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. 

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate,
Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s request. 
 (ii) No service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or
similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 3.06, 4.06, 4.08 and 9.05 of this Indenture). 

(iii) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, a Paying Agent or the
Registrar may deem and treat the Person 

  
 Appendix A-4 








 
in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether
or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 (i)

a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the Depository, Euroclear or Clearstream or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository, Euroclear or Clearstream or any nominee or of any participant or member
thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or
the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to the Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to the registered Holders (which shall
be the Depository or any nominee thereof in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depository, subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee

transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among participants, members or beneficial owners of the Depository, Euroclear or Clearstream,
as applicable, in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the

 Exhibit A-4 








 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 

4.69% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2022 
  

	1.	Interest 

 Momentive Performance Materials Inc., a Delaware corporation (such Person, and
its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay
interest semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2015. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been
paid or duly provided for, from October 24, 2014 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If the day on which payment is due is not a Business Day, then payment shall
be made on the following Business Day without any additional interest accruing from the due date to the payment date. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue
installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

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

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

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

  
 Exhibit A-5 









	4.	Indenture 

 The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of October 24,
2014 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Note Guarantors named therein and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to
all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions. 

The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company. This Note is one of the Original Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Indenture
imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into
consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of Capital Stock of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with
Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and each Note Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or
substantially all of its property. 
 To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Notes and all other
amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Note Guarantors have,
jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior secured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 
  

	5.	Optional Redemption 

 The Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole at any
time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

 

	6.	Mandatory Redemption 

 If the Notes would, but for the application of the provision
described in this paragraph, constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” (“AHYDOs”) within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, and as a result the Company would otherwise be subject to
limitations on their deduction of interest in respect of the Notes pursuant to Section 163(e)(5) of the Code, then on the last day of each “accrual period” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1272-1(b)(1)(ii)) ending
after the fifth anniversary of the “issue date” of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each a “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), the Company shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal or interest (any
such prepayment a “Special 

  
 Exhibit A-6 








 
Mandatory Redemption”) on each of the Notes, without premium or penalty, in an amount, if any, necessary to ensure that the Notes will not be treated as AHYDOs within the meaning of
Section 163(i)(1) of the Code. Such mandatory prepayment will be applied against and reduce the amount due under the applicable Notes outstanding at such time (and shall be treated by the Company and the Holders of the Notes first as a
payment of accrued interest (original issue discount) on such Note for federal income tax purposes). The Company intends that the Special Mandatory Redemptions be sufficient to prevent each Note from being treated as an AHYDO within the meaning
of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, and this provision shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such intent. No partial redemption or repurchase of the Notes prior to each Special Mandatory Redemption Date pursuant to any
other provisions of the Indenture will alter the Company’s obligation to make the Special Mandatory Redemption with respect to any Notes that remain outstanding on each Special Mandatory Redemption Date. 

 

	7.	Sinking Fund 

 The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption
(except solely to the extent provided in Paragraph 6 of this Note). 
  

	8.	Notice of Redemption 

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

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


Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to
cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the
Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 
  

	10.	Ranking and Collateral 

 The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and the applicable Note
Guarantees, respectively, is senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Note Guarantors, respectively, ranks (i) equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Note Guarantors, as applicable,
(ii) senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company and Note Guarantors and (iii) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of Subsidiaries that
do not guarantee the Notes. The Notes and the Note Guarantees will have the benefit of a security interest in the Collateral with the priority required by the Indenture subject to Permitted Liens and the exceptions provided in the Security
Documents. 

  
 Exhibit A-7 









	11.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

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

 

	12.	Persons Deemed Owners 

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

	13.	Unclaimed Money 

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

	14.	Discharge and Defeasance 

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

	15.	Amendment; Waiver 

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

  
 Exhibit A-8 








 
uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of
the Code); (iv) to add Note Guarantees with respect to the Notes; (v) to secure the Notes, to add additional assets as Collateral, to release Collateral as permitted under the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor
Agreement, to add additional secured creditors holding ABL Obligations, Other First Priority Lien Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations or First Priority Lien Obligations so long as such obligations are not prohibited by the Indenture or the Security
Documents; (vi) to amend, modify or enter into the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement in connection with the Transactions; (vii) to add additional covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to
surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company; (viii) to comply with the requirements of (A) the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or (B) the Intercreditor Agreement;
(ix) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or (x) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes. 

Without the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (which consents may be
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes), no amendment or waiver may (i) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien of the Indenture and the Security Documents with respect to the Notes,
subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or (ii) make any change in the provisions in the Intercreditor Agreement or the Indenture or any material change in the provisions in the Security Documents, in each case dealing with the
application of proceeds of Collateral upon the exercise of remedies with respect to such Collateral that would adversely affect the holders of the Notes. 
  

	16.	Defaults and Remedies 

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

  
 Exhibit A-9 








 
to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and
(v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under
the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 

 

	17.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 

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

	18.	No Recourse Against Others 

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

 

	19.	Authentication 

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

	20.	Abbreviations 

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

 

	21.	Governing Law 

 This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the state of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. 

  
 Exhibit A-10 









	22.	CUSIP Numbers; ISINs 

 The Company has caused CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common
Code” numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to the Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such
numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
