“Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”
means, with respect to any Person and as of any date of determination (the “Determination Date”), the ratio of Consolidated
EBITDA of such Person for the most recent Four Quarter Period ending on or prior to such Determination Date for which financial statements
are available to Consolidated Fixed Charges of such Person for such Four Quarter Period. In addition to and without limitation of the
foregoing, for purposes of this definition, “Consolidated EBITDA” and “Consolidated Fixed Charges” shall be calculated
after giving effect on a pro forma basis for the period of such calculation to the following (without duplication):


 


(1)       the
incurrence of the Indebtedness, if any, by such Person or any of its Subsidiaries giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and (x) any repayment, repurchase, defeasance, redemption or other discharge (collectively, for purposes
of this definition, “repayment”; the terms “repay” and “repaid” shall have correlative meanings for
purposes of this definition) of any Indebtedness with the proceeds of the Indebtedness to be incurred or in connection with the transactions
pursuant to which such Indebtedness is to be incurred or the transactions giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio, as the case may be, and (y) any purchase or other acquisition or origination of any Investments, Persons or other
securities or assets made or to be made by such Person or any of its Subsidiaries (in one transaction or a series of related transactions
and including, without limitation, by merger, consolidation, acquisition of Capital Stock or otherwise) with the proceeds of the Indebtedness
to be incurred or in connection with the transactions pursuant to which such Indebtedness is to be incurred or the transactions giving
rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as the case may be (including, without limitation, any Consolidated
EBITDA attributable to the Investments, Persons or other securities or assets which are being purchased, acquired or originated as aforesaid),
in each case as if such incurrence, repayment, purchase, acquisition or origination, as the case may be, had occurred on the first day
of the Four Quarter Period;


 


(2)       the
incurrence and repayment of any Indebtedness of such Person or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the incurrence or repayment of any
Indebtedness which is covered by clause (1) above), including any repayment of any Indebtedness with the proceeds from the incurrence
of Indebtedness covered by this clause (2) or in connection with the related transaction referred to in clause (3) of this definition,
in each case that occurred during the Four Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four Quarter Period and on
or prior to the Determination Date, as if such incurrence or repayment had occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period, but
only to the extent the incurrence or repayment of such Indebtedness was made in connection with a transaction or series of related transactions
described in clause (3) below that meets the significance test set forth in such clause (3); provided, however, that such
calculation shall not give pro forma effect to the incurrence of any Indebtedness described in this clause (2) if such Indebtedness is
not outstanding as of the Determination Date; and


 






    6


     


    

 


(3)       any
sale or other disposition or any purchase or other acquisition or origination of any Investments, Persons or other securities or assets
(other than any purchase, acquisition or origination covered by clause (1) above) made by such Person or any of its Subsidiaries (including,
without limitation, by merger, consolidation, acquisition of Capital Stock or otherwise) in one transaction or a series of related transactions
during the Four Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four Quarter Period and on or prior to the Determination
Date (including, without limitation, any Consolidated EBITDA attributable to the Investments, Persons or other securities or assets which
were sold, disposed of, purchased, acquired or originated as aforesaid), in each case as if such sale, disposition, purchase, acquisition
or origination had occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period, but, anything in this clause (3) to the contrary notwithstanding,
only if the Investments, Persons or other securities or assets sold, disposed of, purchased, acquired or originated in such transaction
or such series of related transactions, as the case may be, met, at the time of such transaction or series of related transactions (or,
at the option of the Company, would have met, as of the last day of the Four Quarter Period), the conditions specified in clause (1)(ii)
or (1)(iii) of Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC (as such Rule is in effect on June 1, 2021 but substituting 20%
for 10% each place 10% appears in such Rule and assuming that the Company was the “registrant” and that the Investments,
Persons or other securities or assets sold, disposed of, purchased, acquired or originated in such transaction or series of related transactions
constituted a “subsidiary” of the Company within the meaning of such Rule), with the calculation of whether any such conditions
are met to be made in accordance with GAAP.


 


If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest
and if pro forma effect is being given to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, the interest expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated
as if the rate in effect on the Determination Date had been the applicable rate for that portion of the Four Quarter Period during which
such Indebtedness was not outstanding (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest
Rate Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness bears an interest rate chosen at the option of the Company
and if pro forma effect is being given to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, the interest rate shall be calculated by applying such
optional rate chosen by the Company for that portion of the Four Quarter Period during which such Indebtedness was not outstanding. For
purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any calculation under this definition, the pro forma calculations
will be determined in good faith by the Company and such pro forma calculations may include, for the avoidance of doubt and at the Company’s
sole discretion, cost savings and expense reductions relating to any transaction which is being given pro forma effect (x) that have
been or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the date of such transaction and/or (y) that are determined in accordance
with Regulation S-X (as in effect on December 31, 2020) under the Securities Act.


 






    7


     


    

 



 


In making any pro forma calculation,
the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility outstanding on the applicable Determination Date (other than any Indebtedness
being incurred under such facility in connection with a transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio) will be deemed to be:


 


(i)       the
average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable Four Quarter Period or such shorter period for which such facility was
outstanding, or


 


(ii)       if
such facility was created after the end of such Four Quarter Period, the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the period
from the date of creation of such facility to such Determination Date.


 


Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, in the event that any Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) is incurred pursuant to, or any other transaction (including,
without limitation, any merger, consolidation, or acquisition or disposition of Capital Stock, Investments or other assets or property)
must comply with or is undertaken or consummated in reliance on, a covenant, basket, exception, test or other provision in this Indenture
requiring compliance with a ratio or a test or limitation determined on the basis of a ratio (including, without limitation, the Consolidated
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio), such ratio shall be calculated without giving effect to any substantially contemporaneous incurrence of
any other Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (11) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness).

For purposes of determining the
amount of Indebtedness under any covenants, definitions or other provisions of this Indenture, (a) guarantees of, and obligations in
respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances and other similar instruments relating to, or Liens securing, Indebtedness that
is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included and the incurrence or creation
of any such guarantees, obligations or Liens shall not be deemed to be the incurrence of Indebtedness; (b) unless otherwise expressly
provided in this Indenture, the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal
to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; and (c) if any Person shall own, directly or indirectly,
less than 100% of the outstanding Common Stock of any Subsidiary of such Person, then only a pro rata portion of the Indebtedness, of
such Subsidiary shall be included for purposes of determining the amount of Indebtedness of such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis, such pro rata portion to be determined as set forth in the definition of GAAP. For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed
that, anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, Indebtedness of variable interest entities (within the meaning of GAAP)
shall not be deemed Indebtedness of any Person or any of its Subsidiaries. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction (including, without limitation, those set forth in any definition) on the amount or incurrence of any Indebtedness, the U.S.
dollar-equivalent 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 Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving
credit Indebtedness; 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 (or, if incurred with original issue discount, the issue price) of such Refinancing Indebtedness does
not exceed the principal amount (or if incurred with original issue discount, the accreted value) of such Indebtedness being Refinanced
plus any additional Indebtedness incurred to pay interest or dividends thereon plus the amount of any premium (including tender premiums),
defeasance costs and any fees and expenses incurred in connection with the incurrence of such Refinancing Indebtedness; and provided,
further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.07, Section 4.08, the definition of “Permitted
Indebtedness” or elsewhere in this Indenture, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company and its Subsidiaries may incur
pursuant to Section 4.07 and such definition shall not be deemed to be exceeded, nor shall the Company be deemed to have breached its
obligations under Section 4.08, solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Subject to the foregoing, 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 Refinancing Indebtedness
and Indebtedness being Refinanced are denominated that is in effect on the date of such Refinancing. Unsecured Indebtedness shall not
be treated as subordinated or junior to secured Indebtedness merely because such Indebtedness is unsecured. In calculating the U.S. dollar-equivalent
amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the Company may, at its option, take into account any Currency Agreement applicable
to such Indebtedness. For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed that, anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding,
the term “Indebtedness” shall not include any commitment to make loans, advances or other Investments, or to purchase Investments,
Persons or other securities or assets.

Indebtedness with substantially the same terms, and the accrual, accumulation or payment of dividends on Disqualified Capital Stock in
the form of additional shares of the same class or series of Disqualified Capital Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness

(including for purposes of Section 4.07 and Section 5.01, the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” (including the related
definition of “Total Assets”), the definition of “Issue Date Committed Amount” and the definition of “Refinancing
Indebtedness”), the date of calculation or determination of such basket or ratio and whether such action or transaction is permitted
(or any requirement or condition therefor is complied with or satisfied (including as to the absence of any Default or Event of Default))
shall, at the option of the Company, be the date the definitive agreement for such Acquisition is entered into (any such date, the “Acquisition
Test Date”) and such baskets or ratios (and whether any related requirements or conditions are complied with) shall be calculated
or determined on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection
therewith (including the application of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred on the Acquisition Test Date and if after giving effect
to such Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including the application of proceeds thereof)
the Company and its Subsidiaries would have been able to undertake such actions and transactions on the Acquisition Test Date in compliance
with such basket or ratio (including any related requirements or conditions), such basket or ratio (including any related requirements

statements, in which case, such date of recalculation or redetermination will thereafter be deemed to be the applicable Acquisition Test

EBITDA or Total Assets of the Company or the target company (with Total Assets of the target company determined as though references
to the “Company” in the definition of “Total Assets” and the definition of terms related thereto were references
to the target company, mutatis mutandis) subsequent to such Acquisition Test Date and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant
Acquisition, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of
determining whether the Acquisition and the related transactions are permitted under this Indenture and (y) such baskets or ratios (including
any related requirements or conditions) shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Acquisition or related transactions;
provided that if the Company elects to have such determinations occur at the Acquisition Test Date, any such transactions and actions
shall be deemed to have occurred on the Acquisition Test Date and outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any baskets or ratios
under this Indenture in connection with any action or transaction unrelated to such Acquisition after the Acquisition Test Date and before
the consummation of such Acquisition unless and until such Acquisition has been terminated or abandoned, as determined by the Company,
prior to the consummation thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may at any time withdraw any election made under this paragraph.

The Notes


 


		SECTION 2.01.	Amount of Notes Unlimited.



 


The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may
be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited and the Company may issue an unlimited principal amount of Additional
Notes under this Indenture having identical terms as the Notes initially issued under this Indenture on the Issue Date (other than issue
date, and, if applicable, issue price, the first Interest Payment Date and the date from which interest will accrue, and except that
any such Additional Notes may, but need not, be subject to or include transfer restrictions); provided that if any Additional
Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued on the Issue Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes
will have separate CUSIP and ISIN numbers from the Notes initially issued on the Issue Date. The Company may issue Additional Notes in
compliance with the terms of this Indenture, including the provisions of Section 4.07. The Notes initially issued on the Issue Date and
any Additional Notes subsequently issued under this Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture.


 


		SECTION 2.02.	Form and Dating; Denominations.



 


The Notes (including Global Notes) and the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in
and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes shall bear such legends as may be required by Appendix A hereto (which is incorporated
in and expressly made a part of this Indenture) and may have such other notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange
rule, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage. The Company shall approve the forms of the Notes and any notation,
legend or endorsement on them. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered
form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.


 


Unless otherwise provided in an Officers’
Certificate, Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Notes in registered form without coupons, which shall
be deposited with the Note Custodian, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, and shall
bear the applicable legends required by Appendix A. The aggregate principal amount of a Global Note may from time to time be increased
or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Registrar and the Note Custodian, and on the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases
in Global Note” attached to such Global Note.


 






    47


     


    

 



 


Notes may be issued in the form of Certificated
Notes in registered form without coupons and that do not bear a Global Note Legend, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by
the Trustee as hereinafter provided, in exchange for interests in Global Notes only in the circumstances and manner set forth in Section
2.15 and in compliance with the provisions, if applicable, of Appendix A.


 


		SECTION 2.03.	Execution and Authentication.



 


An Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company
by manual, facsimile or electronic image scan (e.g., pdf) signature.


 


If an Officer whose signature is on a Note was an
Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall
nevertheless be valid.


 


The Trustee shall authenticate Notes for original
issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000 (the “Initial Notes”) upon receipt by the
Trustee of a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. In addition, the Trustee shall from time to
time thereafter authenticate Additional Notes in unlimited amount (so long as not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Indenture,
including without limitation, Section 4.07) for original issue upon receipt by the Trustee of a written order of the Company in the form
of an Officers’ Certificate.


 


At any time and from time to time after the execution
and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with
a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the
Trustee in accordance with such written order of the Company shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.


 


A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory
of the Trustee manually, by facsimile or electronically, 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 an authenticating agent
reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. 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 authenticating agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company and Affiliates of the
Company.


 


	 	SECTION 2.04.	Registrar and Paying Agent.



 


The Company shall maintain an office or agency in
the United States of America where (a) Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”),
(b) Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and (c) notices and demands to or upon the Company
in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company may also from time to time designate (without notice to Holders)
one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and where such notices
and demands may be served and may from time to time rescind or change such designations; provided, however, that no such designation,
rescission or change shall relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the United States of America for
such purposes. The Company may change or remove any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to any Holder so long as there
is a Paying Agent and Registrar in United States of America. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation,
rescission, removal or change referred to in the two immediately preceding sentences. The Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries
may act as Registrar, co-Registrar or Paying Agent. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.
The Company, upon notice to the Trustee but without notice to Holders, may appoint one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional
paying agents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and may rescind the appointment of and change any such co-Registrars or additional
paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.


 


The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency
agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which 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.


 


The Company hereby appoints the Trustee, acting
through its Corporate Trust Office in the United States of America, as initial Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes.


 






    48


     


    

 


		SECTION 2.05.	Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust.



 


On
or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date of principal
of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal,
premium, if any, and interest so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing
that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment
of principal of, premium, if any, or 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 Domestic Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold
it as a separate trust fund. 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 the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, the 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
to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably
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.



 


Subject to Section 2.15 and, if applicable, the
provisions of Appendix A, when Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such
Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar or co-Registrar
shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements and any applicable requirements under Appendix A for
such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed
or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed
by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. The Company, the Registrar, any co-Registrar and the Trustee
may require a Holder to furnish such endorsements and transfer documents as any of them may reasonably request in connection with the
registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, in addition to any documents that otherwise are required or may be required as provided
in this Indenture (including Exhibit A hereto). A Note may not be transferred or exchanged unless such Note shall have been surrendered
at an office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Notes at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request. No service charge
shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee or any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-Registrar for any registration of transfer or exchange
(other than pursuant to Section 2.08), but the Company, the Registrar or any co-Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.


 


All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer
or exchange of other Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.


 


To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
prior to the due presentment of any Note for registration of transfer or exchange, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent may deem and
treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal,
premium, if any, and (subject to the Record Date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none
of the Company, the Trustee or any Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 






    49


     


    

 


The Registrar or any co-Registrar shall not be required
to register the transfer of or exchange any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing
(or, if not mailed, other transmittal) of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing
(or other transmittal), (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article 3, except the unredeemed portion of any
Note being redeemed in part, or (iii) tendered for repurchase pursuant to a Change of Control Offer and not validly withdrawn.


 


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 Notes may be effected
only through a book-entry system maintained by the Depositary for such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial
interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry system.


 


		SECTION 2.08.	Replacement Notes.



 


If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee
or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or stolen, and if the Company and the Trustee receive evidence
to their satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate
a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met and subject to satisfaction of any additional requirements, if applicable,
as may be set forth in Appendix A hereto. Such Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of
both the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note
is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for the reasonable expenses of the Company, the Trustee and any Agent in replacing a
Note pursuant to this Section 2.08, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Company, the Trustee or any Agent, as well
as any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.


 


Every replacement Note is an additional obligation
of the Company.


 


To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
the provisions of this Section 2.08 shall be exclusive and shall preclude all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.


 


		SECTION 2.09.	Outstanding Notes.



 


Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes
that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions and
increases in the interests in Global Notes effected by the Trustee, the Registrar or the Note Custodian in accordance with the provisions
hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or any of
its Affiliates holds the Note (subject to the provisions of Section 2.10).


 


If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other
than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives
proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement
thereof pursuant to Section 2.08. If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding
and interest ceases to accrue. If on any Redemption Date, maturity date, Change of Control Payment Date or any other date on which a
payment of principal of a Note is due, the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate thereof) holds U.S. Legal
Tender in an amount sufficient to pay all of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on such Note payable on that date, then
on and after that date such Note ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.


 






    50


     


    

 


		SECTION 2.10.	Treasury Notes.



 


In determining whether the Holders of the required
principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall
be disregarded, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in conclusively relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be disregarded.


 


		SECTION 2.11.	Temporary Notes.



 


Until 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 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 in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, Holders of temporary
Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Holders of definitive Notes. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Notes may be in typewritten form.


 


		SECTION 2.12.	Cancellation.



 


The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the
Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, any co-Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to
them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, at the written direction of the Company, and no one else, shall
cancel and dispose of all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its customary
procedures and deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Company upon its written request therefor unless the Company directs the
Trustee to deliver canceled Notes to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company or any Affiliate shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as
a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.12.


 


		SECTION 2.13.	Defaulted Interest.



 


If the Company defaults in a payment of interest
on the Notes, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent lawful, any interest payable on the defaulted interest
at the rate provided in the last paragraph of Section 4.01, 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 the
related payment date and shall promptly mail or cause the Trustee (at the request and expense of the Company) to mail (or, in the case
of Global Notes, otherwise transmit in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures) to each Holder, with a copy to the
Trustee (if mailed or transmitted by the Company), a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted
interest to be paid.


 


		SECTION 2.14.	CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.



 


The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and/or
ISIN numbers, and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption, repurchase, Change of Control
Offers or exchanges and on checks or advice of payment as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that neither the
Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers that appear on any Note or any such
notice, check or advice of payment, and any such notice or advice of payment may state that no representation is made as to the correctness
or accuracy of such CUSIP or ISIN numbers and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes,
and no such redemption, repurchase, Change of Control Offer, exchange, advice or payment shall be affected by any defect in or omission
of any such numbers.


 






    51


     


    

 


		SECTION 2.15.	Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.



 


(a)       Unless
otherwise specified in an Officers’ Certificate or as provided in 2.15(b) below, the Global Notes shall (i) be registered in the
name of the Depositary or a nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Note Custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear such
legends as may be required by Appendix A hereto.


 


Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Participants”)
shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or the Note Custodian,
or under the Global Notes, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any Agent as the absolute owner of the Global
Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company or the Trustee from giving
effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and
its Participants, the operation of Depositary’s customary procedures governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder or beneficial
owner of any Note.


 


(b)       Transfers
of Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees.
Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be exchanged for Certificated Notes only as follows and subject, if applicable,
to the further requirements set forth in this Indenture, including Appendix A hereto. Certificated Notes shall be transferred to all
beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Notes if (1) the Depositary notifies the Company that the Depositary
is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange
Act (if such registration is required by applicable law) and the Company does not appoint a successor Depositary for the Notes within
90 days after the Company receives such notification or becomes aware that the Depositary has ceased to be so registered, as the case
may be, (2) the Company, at its option and subject to the Depositary’s procedures, notifies the Trustee in writing that the Company
elects to cause the issuance of Certificated Notes or (3) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default. The Trustee
and the Registrar shall have no obligation to effect an exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes pursuant to clause (3) of the
immediately preceding sentence until receipt of a written request from the Company. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange
for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any authorized denominations, requested
by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and, if applicable, will bear the applicable restrictive
legends referred to in Appendix A hereto unless the Company determines otherwise or such legend shall have been removed as provided in
Appendix A hereto, and in any event subject, if applicable, to the requirements set forth in Appendix A hereto.

Redemption


 


		SECTION 3.01.	Notices to Trustee.



 


If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to
Section 5 of the Notes, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed
and whether the redemption is being made pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of Section 5 of the Notes.


 


The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee
provided for in this Section 3.01 at least five days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed (or otherwise transmitted)
to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee in writing); provided that such notice
may be revoked by the Company by written notice to the Trustee at any time prior to the time on the date specified by the Company for
the Trustee to forward notice of such redemption to Holders as provided in Section 3.03 or, if the Company does not request the Trustee
to forward notice of such redemption to Holders, at any time prior to the Company’s giving of the notice of such redemption to
Holders pursuant to Section 3.03.


 






    52


     


    

 


		SECTION 3.02.	Selection of Notes To Be Redeemed.



 


If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at
any time, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee pro rata or by lot; provided that, in the case of
Notes represented by one or more Global Notes, interests in such Global Notes will be selected for redemption by the Depositary in accordance
with its applicable procedures therefor. Notes shall be redeemed in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof; provided that the remaining principal amount of any Note redeemed in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof. 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 3.03.	Notice of Redemption.



 


Subject to the provisions of Section 3.05, notice
of any redemption of the Notes will be mailed by the Company by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or, if the Notes are represented by
one or more Global Notes and if the Depositary’s applicable procedures so provide, transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s
applicable procedures therefor, at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to
be redeemed at its registered address (or at such other address or in such other manner as may be provided by the Depositary’s
applicable procedures). Each notice for redemption shall identify the Notes (including the CUSIP number) to be redeemed and include statements
to substantially the following effect (with such changes therein or additions thereto as the Company in its sole discretion may deem
appropriate):


 


(1) the Redemption Date;


 


(2) the redemption price (or, if not
then ascertainable at the time, a general statement regarding how the redemption price will be calculated) and that accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed shall be paid to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of
the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption
Date);


 


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


 


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


 


(5) if less than all the outstanding
Notes are to be redeemed, the identification and principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed and stating that on and after
the Redemption Date, upon surrender of that Note, the Holder will receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations
for the principal amount of the Note remaining unredeemed (or, in the case of Global Notes, appropriate adjustments of the principal
amount of a Global Note will be made, as applicable);


 


(6) that, on and after the Redemption
Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with
a Paying Agent, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, funds in an amount sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption on such Redemption Date and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, such
Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment
Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date), and the only remaining right of the Holders of the Notes or portions thereof called
for redemption will be to receive payment of the redemption price and such accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon surrender of the
Notes to be redeemed to the Paying Agent; and


 






    53


     


    

 


(7) any conditions to such redemption
as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, and, if such redemption is subject to conditions, the Company may at its option
also include a statement to the effect that the Redemption Date may be delayed, on one or more occasions and in the Company’s sole
discretion, either (at the Company’s option) to a date specified by the Company in such notice or in a subsequent notice to Holders
(subject, if the Company shall so elect, to the satisfaction of any or all such conditions or the Company’s written waiver of any
such conditions that are not satisfied) or until such time as any or all such conditions have been satisfied or waived by the Company
in writing, and that, if any such condition shall not have been satisfied as and when required (as determined by the Company in its sole
discretion and taking into account any election by the Company to delay such Redemption Date), then (unless the Company shall have waived
in writing any such conditions that are not satisfied), the Company shall have no obligation to redeem the Notes called for redemption
on such Redemption Date (as the same may have been delayed by the Company as aforesaid) and may cancel such proposed redemption and rescind
such notice of redemption, or any other statement that the Company in its sole discretion may deem necessary or advisable concerning
matters described in Section 3.05 or to implement any provision of Section 3.05.


 


At the Company’s written request (which shall
specify the date and, at the option of the Company, the time at which the notice of redemption shall be given), the Trustee shall give
the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense unless the Company shall have revoked such notice
of redemption as provided in Section 3.01. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this
Section 3.03 at least five days prior to the Trustee giving the notice of redemption, unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period.


 


The notice, if mailed (or otherwise transmitted)
in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any
case, failure to give such notice by mail (or to transmit such notice in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures)
or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.


 


		SECTION 3.04.	Effect of Notice of Redemption.



 


Once notice of redemption is mailed (or otherwise
transmitted) in accordance with Section 3.03 and all conditions (if any) to such redemption are satisfied as and when required (as determined
by the Company in its sole discretion and taking into account any election by the Company to delay the applicable Redemption Date as
provided in Section 3.05) or the Company waives in writing any such conditions that are not satisfied, (i) Notes called for redemption
become due and payable on the Redemption Date (or, if the Company has delayed such Redemption Date, the applicable delayed Redemption
Date (as defined in Section 3.05), as the case may be) and at the applicable redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable) (subject to the right of Holders of record
on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date), (ii) upon
surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes or portions thereof called for redemption shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (or, if the Company has delayed such Redemption
Date, to, but excluding, the applicable delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be), except that the interest payable on any Interest
Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be) shall be paid to the Persons
who were the Holders of record at the close of business on the applicable Record Date, and (iii) on and after the applicable Redemption
Date (or, if the Company has delayed such Redemption Date, the applicable delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be) interest shall
cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

sole discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, which shall be described in the related notice of redemption to Holders
of Notes, which conditions may include, without limitation, completion of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings or other securities
offerings or other financings, transactions or events. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent,
such notice to Holders of Notes may (at the option of the Company) include a statement to the effect that the Redemption Date may be
delayed, on one or more occasions and in the Company’s sole discretion, either (at the Company’s option) to a date specified
by the Company in such notice or in a subsequent notice to such Holders (subject, if the Company shall so elect, to satisfaction of any
or all such conditions or the Company’s written waiver of any such conditions that are not satisfied) or until such time as any
or all of such conditions have been satisfied or waived by the Company in writing, and that, if any such conditions shall not have been
satisfied as and when required (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion and taking into account any election by the Company
to delay such Redemption Date), then (unless the Company shall have waived in writing any such conditions that are not satisfied), the
Company shall have no obligation to redeem the Notes called for redemption on such Redemption Date (as the same may have been delayed
by the Company as aforesaid) and may cancel such proposed redemption and rescind any notice of such redemption. In order to delay any
Redemption Date (or to further delay any delayed Redemption Date (as defined below)), the Company shall provide written notice to the
Trustee at least two Business Days before such Redemption Date (or such delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be), to the effect that
the Company has elected to delay such Redemption Date (or such delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be) and specifying the new Redemption
Date (a “delayed Redemption Date”) (which may, at the Company’s option, be specified as the date on which any
or all conditions to such redemption are satisfied (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) or waived by the Company), and
the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes that were to be redeemed in the same manner in which the notice of
redemption was given. The Company may delay any Redemption Date on one or more occasions.


 


(b) If all conditions precedent (if any) to any
redemption of the Notes shall not have been satisfied as and when required (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion and taking
into account any election by the Company to delay such Redemption Date) or waived by the Company in writing and the Company has not elected
to delay (or further delay) the applicable Redemption Date (or the applicable delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be), the Company
shall provide written notice to the effect that the Company has elected to cancel such redemption to the Trustee prior to close of business
two Business Days prior to such Redemption Date (or such delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be). Upon the Trustee’s receipt
of such notice, the notice of such redemption shall be automatically rescinded and such redemption shall be automatically cancelled and
the Company shall have no obligation to redeem the Notes called for redemption. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall
provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes that were to have been redeemed in the same manner in which the notice of redemption
was given.


 


		SECTION 3.06.	Deposit of Redemption Price.



 


Prior to or on the Redemption Date, subject to the
satisfaction of any conditions specified in the applicable notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.05, the Company shall deposit
with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient
to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to
receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable)),
on all Notes and portions of Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable), other than Notes
or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


		SECTION 3.07.	Notes Redeemed in Part.



 


Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, shall authenticate and mail or deliver (including by
book-entry transfer) to the applicable Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Note registered in the same name and bearing the
same legends, if any, as the Notes surrendered for redemption, equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered
(it being understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel
will be required for the Trustee to authenticate and mail or deliver any such new Note).

S-X (as such rule was in effect on December 31, 2020) promulgated by the SEC, or summarized financial information similar to that specified
in Rule 1-02(bb)(1) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC (without any notes thereto unless the Company, in its sole discretion, shall
elect to include notes, and which summarized financial information may have such variations from the information specified in such Rule
1-02(bb)(1) as the Company may in its sole discretion deem appropriate, including, without limitation, variations to conform to the nature
of its or its parent entity’s business and/or the line items and other information presented in its or its parent entity’s
financial statements) for the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated or combined basis, as applicable, in each case for the applicable
periods).

(d) Anything in this Indenture to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to mail, transmit or otherwise furnish any Financial
Report or other information pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or Section 4.09(c) above by (a) filing or furnishing such Financial Report or
other information (or another document containing the information that would otherwise have been included in such Financial Report or
containing such other information, as applicable) with the SEC for public availability or (b) posting such Financial Report or other
information (or another document containing the information that would otherwise have been included in such Financial Report or containing
such other information) on a website (which may be a password protected website) hosted by the Company or by a third party, in each case
within the applicable time period specified above.


 


(e) If any Financial Report or other
information required by this Section 4.09 (or any other document referred to in Section 4.09(d) above) is not filed, mailed, posted,
transmitted or otherwise furnished within the applicable time period specified above and such Financial Report or other information (or
other document) is subsequently mailed, filed, posted, transmitted or otherwise furnished, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied
its obligations under this Section 4.09 with respect to such Financial Report or other information (or other document), as the case may
be, and any Default or Event of Default with respect thereto or resulting therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and any acceleration
of the Notes resulting therefrom shall be deemed to have been rescinded so long as such rescission would not conflict with any applicable
judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


If delivered to the Trustee, such delivery of any
such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the same
shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including
the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder.


 


	 	SECTION 4.10.	Future Guarantees.



 


If, on any date (a “Guarantee Date”),
the aggregate Guaranteed Principal Amount of any Domestic Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Domestic Subsidiary of the Company
that is an Excluded Subsidiary or a Securitization Entity) exceeds $2.5 million, the Company will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to execute
and deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after such Guarantee Date (except as set forth in the proviso below), a supplemental indenture
pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary will unconditionally guarantee the payment of the Notes, jointly and severally with all other
Guarantors (if any) of the Notes; provided that, if a Domestic Subsidiary that would have been required to guarantee the Notes
but for the fact that it was an Excluded Subsidiary or a Securitization Entity shall be required to guarantee the Notes because it shall
have ceased to be an Excluded Subsidiary or a Securitization Entity, or if a Subsidiary that was a Foreign Subsidiary shall be required
to guarantee the Notes because it shall have become a Domestic Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary or a Securitization Entity,
as the case may be, the supplemental indenture referred to above shall be delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the date such
Domestic Subsidiary shall have ceased to be an Excluded Subsidiary or a Securitization Entity or such Foreign Subsidiary shall have become
a Domestic Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary or Securitization Entity, as the case may be. Anything in this Indenture to
the contrary notwithstanding, no Excluded Subsidiary, Securitization Entity or Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to guarantee the
Notes or become a Guarantor.


 


The obligations of each Guarantor, if any, under
its Guarantee of the Notes and under Article 10 of this Indenture will be limited as provided in Section 10.03.


 


Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding,
each Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Notes will automatically and permanently terminate and be released, all obligations of such Guarantor
under its Guarantee of the Notes and this Indenture will automatically and permanently terminate and such Guarantor will be automatically
and permanently released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes and this Indenture under the circumstances set
forth in Section 10.05.

Merger and Consolidation


 


		SECTION 5.01.	Merger,
                                            Consolidation and Sale of Assets.



 


(a) The Company will not, in a single transaction
or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets determined on a consolidated basis (other than (i) sales,
assignments, transfers, leases, conveyances or other dispositions of Securitization Assets, Repurchase Agreement Assets, Investments
or other securities or assets, in each case in the ordinary course of business and (ii) any Required Asset Sale) to any Person, unless:


 


(1) either


 


(A)       the
Company shall be the surviving or continuing Person; or


 





(B)       the
Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets (the
 “Surviving Entity”):


 


(i) shall be an entity
organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia; and


 


(ii) shall expressly
assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium,
if any, and interest on all of the Notes and the performance of every covenant in the Notes and this Indenture on the part of the Company
to be performed or observed;


 


(2) immediately after
giving effect to such transaction and, if applicable, the assumption contemplated by Section 5.01(a)(1)(B)(ii) above (including giving
pro forma effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Indebtedness incurred and any repayment, repurchase, defeasance, redemption or other
discharge of Indebtedness by the Company or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection
with such transaction), the Company or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be: (a) shall have a Consolidated Net Worth equal to or
greater than the Consolidated Net Worth of the Company immediately prior to such transaction, in each case determined as of the end of
the most recent fiscal quarter ending on or prior to the date of such transaction for which financial statements of the Company or the
Surviving Entity, as the case may be, are available; or (b) shall be able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant
to Section 4.07(b); or (c) shall have a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio that is equal to or greater than the Consolidated Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to such transaction (the computations required by clauses (b) and (c) above shall
be computed on a pro forma basis giving effect to such transaction as if it had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Four Quarter
Period ended on or prior to the date of such transaction for which financial statements of the Company or the Surviving Entity, as the
case may be, are available and the other pro forma adjustments set forth in the definition of “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio”). If the transaction involves a Surviving Entity and the Company and the Surviving Entity have different fiscal quarters,
then the relevant Four Quarter Period and, for purposes of clause (a) of this paragraph (2), the relevant fiscal quarter, may, at the
election of the Company, be based on either the Company’s or the Surviving Entity’s fiscal quarters;


 


(3) immediately after
giving pro forma effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Company or the Surviving
Entity, as the case may be, or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Company or the
Surviving Entity, as the case may be, or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, and any Indebtedness to be repaid, repurchased,
defeased, redeemed or otherwise discharged by the Company or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection
with such transaction as having been repaid, repurchased, defeased, redeemed or otherwise discharged at the time of such transaction),
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;


 






    63


     


    

 


(4) if the Surviving
Entity is not the Company, each Guarantor (unless it is the Surviving Entity, in which case Section 5.01(a)(1)(B) above shall apply)
shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee of the Notes shall apply to such Surviving Entity’s obligations
under this Indenture and the Notes; and


 


(5) the Company or
the Surviving Entity shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel
may be subject to customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions), each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment,
transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such
supplemental indenture comply with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.


 


(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 5.01(a), any Subsidiary of the Company may merge or consolidate with or into or transfer all or any part of
its properties and assets to the Company or the Surviving Entity or any other Subsidiary of the Company or the Surviving Entity and Section
5.01(a) and, except in the case of a merger or consolidation with or into the Company or the Surviving Entity, Section 5.01(f), shall
not apply to any such transaction.


 


(c) For purposes of
the foregoing, the sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions,
of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company (other than (i) sales, assignments,
transfers, leases, conveyances or other dispositions of Securitization Assets, Repurchase Agreement Assets, Investments or other securities
or assets, in each case in the ordinary course of business and (ii) any Required Asset Sale), the Capital Stock of which constitutes
all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all
or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.


 


(d) For purposes of
clarity, it is understood and agreed that references in this Section 5.01 to sales, assignments, transfers, leases, conveyances or other
dispositions of Securitization Assets, Repurchase Agreement Assets, Investments or other securities or assets in the ordinary course
of business shall include, without limitation, any sales, assignments, transfers, leases, conveyances or other dispositions of Securitization
Assets, Repurchase Agreement Assets, Investments or other securities or assets (1) that are made (x) to any Securitization Entity for
the purpose of enabling such Securitization Entity to securitize the assets so sold, assigned, transferred, leased, conveyed or disposed
of or enabling such Securitization Entity to issue Non-Recourse Indebtedness secured by such assets or to enter into any Repurchase Agreements
with respect to such assets or (y) to any Person pursuant to a Repurchase Agreement that is otherwise permitted (or not prohibited) by
this Indenture, under which such Person is a buyer of Repurchase Agreement Assets, and (2) that the Company in good faith determines
to be consistent with past practice of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to reflect customary or accepted practice in the businesses,
industries or markets in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries operates or reasonably expects to operate or that reflect reasonable
extensions, evolutions or developments of any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, by way of new transactions or structures),
and as a result, none of the foregoing shall constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, on a consolidated basis or otherwise, for purposes of the other paragraphs
of this Section 5.01.


 






    64


     


    

 


(e) Upon any consolidation
or merger or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or
assets of the Company in accordance with the foregoing in which the Company is not the surviving or continuing entity, as the case may
be, the Surviving Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this
Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as the “Company” herein and therein,
and the Company shall be released from all of its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes; provided that, in the case of
a lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, the Company will not be released from its obligation
to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes.


 


(f) If the Surviving
Entity in any transaction described in, and made in compliance with, this Section 5.01 shall be a Guarantor of the Notes, or if a Guarantor
shall merge or consolidate with or into the Company or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, in any transaction described in, and
made in compliance with this Section 5.01, such Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Notes will automatically terminate and be released
and such Guarantor will automatically be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes and all of its obligations
as a Guarantor under this Indenture contemporaneously with such transaction.

Defaults and Remedies


 


		SECTION 6.01.	Events
                                            of Default. Each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default”:



 


(1) the failure to
pay interest on any of the outstanding Notes when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days;


 


(2) the failure to
pay the principal of and premium, if any, on any of the outstanding Notes when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity or
otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to a Change of Control
Offer);


 






    65


     


    

 


(3) failure by the
Company or any Guarantor to comply with any of its other covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture (other than covenants or
agreements a default in whose performance would constitute an Event of Default under clause (1) or (2) above) and such default continues
for a period of 60 days after the Company receives written notice (with a copy to the Trustee if given by Holders) specifying the default
(and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of
the Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.01, which will constitute an Event of Default when the Company receives
the written notice specified in this clause (3) (with a copy to the Trustee if given by Holders) but without any requirement that such
default continue for 60 days);


 


(4) the failure to
pay at final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the principal amount of any Indebtedness
for borrowed money (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and such payment shall not
have been made, waived or extended within 30 days after such final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and
any extensions thereof) (a “Payment Default”), or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any Indebtedness
for borrowed money (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and such acceleration shall
not have been rescinded, annulled, waived or otherwise cured within 30 days after receipt by the Company or such Subsidiary of the Company
of written notice of any such acceleration (an “Acceleration”), if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness,
together with the aggregate principal amount of any other Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) of the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company as to which a Payment Default or an Acceleration shall have occurred and shall be continuing,
aggregates $190.0 million or more at any time;


 


(5) (a) the Company
or a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:


 


(i)
commences a voluntary case or proceeding;


 


(ii)
consents to the entry of judgment, decree or order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;


 


(iii)

    66


     


    

 


(b) a court of competent

(i)
is for relief in an involuntary case against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any

that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company cease) to be in full force and effect for a period of 30 days,
or a Guarantor of the Notes that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company (or a group of Guarantors of the Notes that together would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee (or their obligations under
their Guarantees, as the case may be) of the Notes unless such denial or disaffirmation, as applicable, is rescinded, canceled or terminated
within 30 days, in each case other than by reason of the release, termination or discharge of any such Guarantees or Guarantors in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture or as a result of the discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.01 or as a result of Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Section 8.02.


 


The foregoing will constitute
Events 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.


 


		SECTION 6.02.	Acceleration.



 


If an Event of Default with respect
to the Notes (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 with respect to the
Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes
may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the outstanding
Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and (if the notice is given by Holders) to the Trustee specifying the
Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” and, upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and
unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (5) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01
with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then all principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the outstanding
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
Holder.


 






    67


     


    

 


A notice of Default may not be
given by the Trustee with respect to any action taken and reported publicly or to Holders more than two years prior to such notice of
Default. Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default or acceleration or
take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (each a “Directing Holder”)
must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder delivered to the Company and the Trustee that such Holder is not
(or, in the case such Holder is the Depositary or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners of the
Notes that are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction
relating to the delivery of a notice of Default (a “Default Direction”) shall be deemed a continuing representation
until the Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at
the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide the Company with such other information as the Company may reasonably
request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Directing Holder’s Position Representation within five Business
Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is Depositary or its nominee,
any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner or owners, as the case
may be, of interests in the applicable Global Notes in lieu of the Depositary or its nominee and the Depositary shall be entitled to
conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee.


 


If, following the delivery of
a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis
to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that the Company has initiated litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such
Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted
from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the running of the cure period with respect to each applicable Default or Event of Default
shall be automatically stayed and the full original cure period with respect to each such Default and Event of Default shall be automatically
reinstituted and any remedy shall be automatically stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction
on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company provides to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the running of
the cure period with respect to each applicable Default or Event of Default shall be automatically stayed and the full original cure
period with respect to each such Default and Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically
reinstituted and any remedy shall be automatically stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position
Representation shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the
participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have
been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that
each applicable Default or Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee shall be deemed
not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of any such Default or Event of Default.


 






    68


     


    

 


Notwithstanding anything in the
preceding two paragraphs to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default
described in clause (5) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 shall not require compliance with the preceding two paragraphs.


 


The Trustee shall be entitled
to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture that is accompanied by the required
Position Representations, and shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce
compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in any Officers’ Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make
calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short
Derivative Instruments or otherwise. The Trustee shall have no liability to the Company, any holder or any other Person in acting in
good faith on a Noteholder Direction that is accompanied by the required Position Representations or on an Officers’ Certificate
from the Company, in either case, pursuant to which the Trustee refrains from taking any action or stays any remedy in good faith with
respect thereto or in reliance thereon.


 


At any time after any acceleration
of the Notes in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 6.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee and the Company may rescind and cancel any such acceleration and its consequences if
(i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) all existing Events of Default,
other than nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Notes that have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured
or waived, (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal,
in each case which have become due otherwise than by such acceleration, at the per annum rate specified in the last paragraph of Section
4.01, has been paid; and (iv) the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances in connection with such acceleration and rescission.


 


In the event of acceleration of
the Notes because an Event of Default specified in clause (4) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing,
the acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and cancelled if (a) within 60 days after such acceleration of the Notes
as a result of such Event of Default, the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness)
of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company as to which a Payment Default or an Acceleration shall have occurred and shall be continuing
shall be less than $190.0 million, whether as a result of any such Payment Default or Payment Defaults or Acceleration or Accelerations,
as the case may be, having been remedied or cured or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness, the relevant Indebtedness having
been repaid, redeemed, defeased or otherwise discharged, or otherwise, (b) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree
of a court of competent jurisdiction and (c) all existing Events of Default, other than nonpayment of the principal of or interest on
the Notes that shall have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived.


 


No rescission of acceleration
of the Notes pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.


 






    69


     


    

 


		SECTION 6.03.	Other
                                            Remedies.



 


If an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal
of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.


 


The Trustee may maintain a proceeding
even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, 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 and
all available remedies are cumulative.


 


		SECTION 6.04.	Waiver
                                            of Past Defaults.



 


The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes may waive, by their consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase
of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), any Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a continuing default
in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes held by any non-consenting Holder (excluding a default in
payment resulting from an acceleration that has been or is being waived or rescinded or that has been cured). Upon any such waiver, such
Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.


 


		SECTION 6.05.	Control
                                            by Majority.



 


Subject to Section 7.02(g),
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under
this Indenture. Subject to Section 7.01, however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture
or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability;
provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with
such direction.

		SECTION 6.06.	Limitation
                                            on Suits.



 





Subject to Section 6.07, a Holder
may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or any Guarantees, unless:


 


(1) such Holder shall
have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;


 


(2) the Holders of
at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made a written request, and such Holder or Holders
shall have offered security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to pursue a remedy; and


 


(3) the Trustee has
failed to comply with such request and has not received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request within 60 days after such notice, request and offer of security or indemnity.


 


		SECTION 6.07.	Rights
                                            of Holders to Receive Payment.



 


Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, 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

(a) If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the

the contrary herein, 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:


 


(1) This paragraph
does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01.

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

reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it.

to have notice of Default or an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice thereof from
the Company or any Holder and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

		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, Registrar or co-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, priority or adequacy of this Indenture 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 in this
Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or any statement in the Notes other than the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication.


 


		SECTION 7.05.	Notice
                                            of Defaults.



 


If a Default or Event of Default
occurs and is continuing and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice of such Default or Event of Default, the Trustee
shall mail or otherwise transmit to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after written notice of it is
received by the Trustee. Except in the case of an Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note,
the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its Board of Directors or a committee thereof or a committee of its Responsible
Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.


 


		SECTION 7.06.	Reports
                                            by Trustee to Holders.



 


Within 60 days after May 15 of
each year beginning with May 15, 2022, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies
with TIA § 313(a), if and to the extent required by TIA § 313(a). The Trustee shall also comply with TIA § 313(b),

    75


     


    

 


		SECTION 7.07.	Compensation
                                            and Indemnity.



 


The Company shall pay to the Trustee
from time to time such reasonable compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for the Trustee’s
services hereunder. 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, except any such expenses as shall have been caused by the Trustee’s
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee’s
agents, counsel and accountants. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim of which a Responsible
Officer has received notice or of which a Responsible Officer has otherwise become aware for which the Trustee or any Trustee Party (as
defined below) may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate and shall cause all Trustee Parties
to cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and all Trustee Parties may have one firm of separate counsel selected by the Trustee in connection
with the defense of such claim and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of such counsel; provided,
however, that the Company will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if, subject to the approval of the Trustee (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), it assumes the Trustee’s defense and there is no conflict of interest between the
Company, on the one hand, and the Trustee and any Trustee Parties subject to the claim, on the other hand, in connection with such defense
as reasonably determined by the Trustee. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, damage, claim, liability
or expense caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or negligence of the Trustee or a Trustee Party. The Company need not pay
for any settlement made by the Trustee or any Trustee Party without the Company’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld. All indemnifications and releases from liability granted hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors,
employees, agents and successors (collectively, “Trustee Parties”).


 


To secure the Company’s
payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected
by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of, or premium, if any, or interest
on, or other amounts payable to Holders under, the Notes or the Guarantees.


 


The Company’s payment obligations
pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the discharge or termination of this Indenture.
Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence
of a Default specified in clause (5) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended
to constitute expenses of administration under applicable Insolvency Law.


 


		SECTION 7.08.	Replacement
                                            of Trustee.



 


The Trustee may resign at any time by giving 30
days prior written notice of such resignation to the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding may, upon 30 days prior written notice to the Company and the Trustee, remove the Trustee and may appoint a successor
Trustee; provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right
to consent to the successor Trustee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Company may remove the Trustee if:


 


(1) the Trustee fails
to comply with Section 7.10;


 


(2) the Trustee is
adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;


 









    76


     


    

 


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


 


(4) the Trustee becomes
incapable of acting.


 


If the Trustee resigns or is removed
or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.


 


A successor Trustee shall deliver
a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall
transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the retiring Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, all money and property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.07, whereupon 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 cause to be delivered a notice of its succession to all Holders.


 


Anything in this Section 7.08
to the contrary notwithstanding but subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, no resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment
of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee
pursuant to this Section 7.08.


 


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


 


If the Trustee fails to comply
with Section 7.10, 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.


 


Notwithstanding the replacement
of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, 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 to, another corporation or bank, the resulting,
surviving or transferee corporation or bank, without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation
or bank shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7.


 


In case at the time such successor
or successors (by merger, conversion, transfer of all or substantially all of its corporate trust business 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 such 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 same full force and effect as if they had been authenticated by the predecessor Trustee.


 






    77


     


    

 


		SECTION 7.10.	Eligibility;
                                            Disqualification.



 


The Trustee shall at all times
satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee shall have (or, in the case of a corporation
included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000
as set forth in its (or its related bank holding company’s) most recent published annual report of condition. In addition, if the
Trustee is a corporation or bank included in a bank holding company system, the Trustee, independently of the bank holding company, shall
meet the capital requirements of TIA § 310(a)(2). The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), subject to the penultimate
paragraph thereof; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1)
any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company
are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.


 


		SECTION 7.11.	Preferential
                                            Collection of Claims Against Company.



 


The Trustee shall comply with
TIA § 311(a)(1) and 310(a)(5), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned
or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in trust for the payment of the principal, premium,
if any, or interest on any Note, remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due
and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) shall be discharged
from such trust and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company as a general creditor for payment thereof, and
all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such money, U.S. Government Obligations and proceeds, and all liability

time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with
Section 8.04; provided that if the Company or any Guarantor has made any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest
on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or such Guarantor, as applicable, shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee
or Paying Agent.

		SECTION 10.01.	Unconditional
                                            Guarantee.



 


Subject to the provisions of this
Article 10 and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally with all other Guarantors
(if any), unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, to each Holder of an outstanding Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and to the Trustee and its successors: (a)(x) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on
the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or otherwise, (y)
the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal at the rate per annum set forth in the last paragraph of Section 4.01
and (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) overdue premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and (z) the due and punctual
payment of all other amounts due from the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture or the Notes, all in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”); and (b) in case of
any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes, the due and punctual payment of the Guarantee Obligations in accordance with
the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of
any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, upon written demand by the Trustee, the same
immediately.


 


Each of the Guarantors hereby
agrees that (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the
validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any
judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) the benefit of
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any
right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever (in each case except as required
by this Indenture). Each Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor hereby agrees (to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law) that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject
to this Article 10, the maturity of certain obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes
of the Guarantees, notwithstanding (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided
in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law) forthwith become
due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of the Guarantees.


 


		SECTION 	10.02.  
                                            Benefits Acknowledged.

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

		SECTION 10.03.	Limitation
                                            on Guarantor Liability.



 


Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance
of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute
a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, foreign or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantor or Guarantee. To effectuate
the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor
under its Guarantee and this Article 10 shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and
fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive
contribution from, or payments made by or on behalf of, any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor under its
Guarantee and this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article 10 not constituting a
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under such laws or any other applicable federal, foreign or state laws. This Section 10.03
shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the termination of any Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.05.

pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary will agree to be a Guarantor under this Indenture, all on the terms and subject to the conditions

with the applicable conditions under Section 4.05 or 10.05(a), as applicable; provided, however, that the legal counsel delivering such
Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officers’ Certificates of the Company. This Section 10.05 shall
survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the termination of any Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.05.


 


		SECTION 10.06.	Subrogation.



 


Each Guarantor shall be subrogated
to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by such Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Article
10; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments
arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or
the Notes shall have been paid in full.

The Trustee shall have the right
to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (for the purposes of this Section, “Instructions”)
given pursuant to the Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the
Trustee an incumbency certificate listing authorized officers and containing specimen signatures of such authorized officers, which incumbency
certificate shall be amended by the Company whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give
the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s
understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine
the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to
have been sent by an authorized officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such authorized
officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only authorized officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that
the Company and all authorized officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization
codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses
arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions
conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use
of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee 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 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 immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.


 


Any notice or communication to
a Holder shall be mailed to it by first class mail or other equivalent means or delivered by telecopy, hand delivery or overnight courier
service at his address as it appears on the registration books of the Registrar or sent by email or other electronic means (or, in the
case of Global Notes, given in accordance with any applicable procedures of the Depositary) and shall be sufficiently given to it if
so mailed within the time prescribed or, if telecopied, when receipt is acknowledged, or, in the case of hand delivery, when delivered
or, in the case of overnight courier, on the next Business Day or, in the case of email, when transmitted to the applicable email address
or, if given in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, when given.


 


Failure to send or deliver a notice
or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. If a notice or communication
is mailed or sent in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.


 


		SECTION 11.03.	Communication
                                            by Holders with Other Holders.



 


Holders may communicate pursuant
to TIA § 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees. The Company,
the Trustee, the Registrar and any other Person shall have the protection of TIA § 312(c).


 


		SECTION 11.04.	Certificate

provided, however, that with respect to matters of fact an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officers’ Certificate
or certificates of public officials and may be subject to other customary exceptions, limitations and qualifications.


 


		SECTION 11.05.	Statements
                                            Required in Certificate or Opinion.

informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; or satisfied; and


 


(4) a statement as
to whether or not, in the opinion of each such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with; provided, however,

their functions.


 


		SECTION 11.07.	Business
                                            Day.



 


If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Change
of Control Payment Date, maturity date or any other date on which payment on any Notes is due is not a Business Day, the required payment
will be postponed and made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue
on such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date, maturity date
or other date, as the case may be, to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. If a Record Date or other record

for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, this Indenture or the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect

released all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.


 


		SECTION 11.10.	Successors.



 


All agreements of the Company
and the Guarantors in this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall bind their respective successors. All agreements of the Trustee

the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the USA Patriot Act.


 


		SECTION 11.16.	No

promulgated by competent authorities) in effect from time to time (“Applicable Tax Law”), the Company agrees (i) to
provide to the Trustee, following written request from the Trustee delivered to the Company in accordance with Section 11.02 of this
Indenture, such information concerning the Holders of the Notes as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to determine whether the
Trustee has any tax-related obligations under Applicable Tax Law with respect to the payments made to Holders of the Notes under this
Indenture, but only to the extent (a) such information is in the Company’s possession, (b) such information is not subject to any
confidentiality or similar agreement or undertaking or otherwise deemed by the Company to be confidential and (c) providing such information

regulations or any instrument or agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound,
and (ii) that the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments made to Holders of Notes under this Indenture
to the extent necessary to comply with the Trustee’s obligations under Applicable Tax Law. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a
Note shall be deemed to have agreed to the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.17 and to provide to the Trustee or the Company such
information concerning such Holder as the Trustee or the Company may reasonably request in order to determine whether the Trustee or
the Company has any tax-related obligations under Applicable Tax Law with respect to the payments made to such Holder under this Indenture;
and such agreement by each Holder is part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

interest or participation for its own account or for the account of another QIB to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made
in reliance on Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (d) to a non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction
within the meaning of, and in compliance with, Regulation S or (e) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements

is being made in reliance on Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and (ii) except as provided in clause (i)
above, may not be offered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or disposed of except to a non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction
within the meaning of, and in compliance with, Regulation S, and in each case such offer, sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or disposition
must comply with the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction and with the procedures specified in the Indenture (including
this Appendix A). In addition, during such Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may only
be held through Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective direct or indirect participants.


 


The remaining provisions of this Section 2.2 are
intended to implement the forgoing restrictions. To the extent that any transfer or exchange of Transfer Restricted Notes (including,
without limitation, beneficial interests in Restricted Global Notes) is not covered by a specific procedure in the remaining provisions
of this Section 2.2, the Company may implement such procedures and impose such conditions to such exchange or transfer (including, without
limitation, the delivery of certificates, legal opinions and other documents) as the Company in its sole discretion may deem necessary
or appropriate to implement the foregoing restrictions.


 


(b)       Transfer
and Exchange of Certificated Notes. If Certificated Notes are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Notes pursuant
to Section 2.15(b) of the Indenture, such Certificated Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any authorized denominations,
requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and, if any such Global Notes are Transfer
Restricted Notes, the Certificated Notes issued in exchange for interests therein will bear the Certificated Note Restricted Legend and
either the Rule 144A Legend or the Regulation S Legend, as applicable, unless otherwise determined by the Company. If Certificated Notes
are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Notes, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a
decrease in the principal amount of the applicable Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interests being exchanged
for Certificated Notes and the Registrar shall instruct the Note Custodian to decrease or reflect on its records a decrease in the principal
amount of such Global Note (and to record such decrease by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Global Note) in a principal amount
equal to the principal amount of such interests being exchanged. If Certificated Notes are issued in exchange for beneficial interests
in a Restricted Global Note, then, unless the Company shall otherwise advise the Trustee and the Registrar in writing, such interests
may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.2 (including
the certification and other requirements set forth in this Section 2.2 intended to ensure that such exchanges comply with Rule 144A,
Regulation S or another applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures
as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.


 






     




     


    

 


When Certificated Notes are presented to the Registrar
or a co-Registrar with a request:


 


(x) to register the transfer of
such Certificated Notes; or


 


(y) to exchange such Certificated
Notes for an equal principal amount of Certificated Notes of other authorized denominations,


 


the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make
the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met and if the requirements for such registration of
transfer or exchange set forth in this Appendix A and Section 2.07 of the Indenture shall have been satisfied; provided, however,
that if a Certificated Note surrendered for transfer or exchange bears a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall
not register the transfer or exchange of such Certificated Note (including any such transfer or exchange to the Company or a Subsidiary
of the Company) unless (A) such transferor shall have delivered to the Registrar or co-Registrar a certificate to the effect set forth
in Exhibit F to the Indenture, appropriately completed and signed by such transferor, (B) in the case of any transfer or exchange
pursuant to any transaction that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act (other than a transfer to the Company or one of
its Subsidiaries or a transaction pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S), such transferor shall have also delivered to the Registrar
or co-Registrar (i) if such transfer or exchange is being made pursuant to Rule 144, a legal opinion addressed to the Company and the
Registrar or co-Registrar, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer or exchange is being made
in reliance on Rule 144, that the Holder may transfer such Certificated Note without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to
Rule 144 and that, accordingly, the Restricted Note Legend on such Certificated Note may be removed or (ii) if such transfer or exchange
is not being made pursuant to Rule 144, a legal opinion addressed to the Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer or exchange may be effected without registration under the Securities Act
and (C) such transferor shall have also delivered to the Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, as the case may be, any additional
certifications, legal opinions and other information as may be required by the Company to determine that the proposed transfer or exchange
is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state or other securities laws. In the case of any such proposed transfer
or exchange that requires the delivery of a legal opinion as provided for above, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall notify the Company
of such proposed transfer or exchange in order to provide the Company with an opportunity to review such legal opinion and request such
additional certifications, legal opinions and other information the Company may require.


 


(c)       Transfer
and Exchange of Global Notes. (i) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall be effected through the
Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture (including this Appendix A) and the procedures of the Depositary and, if applicable,
Clearstream and Euroclear. In the case of any exchange of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for a beneficial interest
in a Regulation S Global Note, and any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, in each case being made prior to expiration of the Distribution
Compliance Period with respect to such Regulation S Global Note, the beneficial interests in such Regulation S Global Note must
be held through an account with a participant in either Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be.


 


(i)       Subject
to compliance with the other applicable requirements of this Section 2.2(c), if the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest
in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, (A) the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date
and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal
amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease
in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred; and (B) the Registrar shall instruct the Note
Custodian to increase or reflect on its records an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being
transferred (and to record such increase by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Global Note) in an amount equal to the principal
amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall instruct the Note Custodian, concurrently with such increase,
to decrease or reflect on its records a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred
by a corresponding amount (and to record such decrease by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Global Note).


 






     




     


    

 


(ii)       If
the proposed transfer is an exchange of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S
Global Note or the transfer of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, the transferor of such beneficial interest shall deliver to the Registrar
prior to any such exchange or transfer (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Indenture if such exchange
or transfer is to occur prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to such Regulation S Global Note
or (B) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Indenture if such exchange or transfer is to occur after the
expiration of such Distribution Compliance Period, in each case appropriately completed and signed by the transferor.


 


(iii)       If
the proposed transfer is an exchange of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A
Global Note or the transfer of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in
the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note and such exchange or transfer is to occur prior to the expiration of the
Distribution Compliance Period with respect to such Regulation S Global Note, the transferor of such beneficial interest shall deliver
to the Registrar prior to any such exchange or transfer a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Indenture,
appropriately completed and signed by such transferor.


 


(iv)       Any
beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another
Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such original Global Note and will become an interest in the other Global
Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests
in such other Global Note for so long as it remains such an interest.


 


(v)       Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Appendix A, a Global Note may not be transferred except as provided in the first sentence of Section 2.15(b)
of the Indenture.


 


(d)       Legend.


 


(i)       Each
Global Note shall bear the following or a similar legend (or, if DTC is not the Depositary for such Global Note, any other legend that
may be required by whosoever shall be the Depositary) (the “Global Notes Legend”) on the face thereof:


 


“UNLESS THIS NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE

(REVERSE OF NOTE)


 


3.750% Senior Note due 2024


 


Section 1. Interest


 


Starwood Property Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation
(the “Company,” which term includes its successors under the Indenture referred to below), promises to pay interest
on the principal amount of this Note at a rate of 3.750% per annum until December 31, 2024 or such earlier date on which the principal
of this Note shall have been paid or duly provided for. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December
31 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”) or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day, commencing June 30, 2022. Interest on the Notes will 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 and including December 15, 2021; provided that if
this Note is authenticated between a Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest
on this Note shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months.


 


Section 2. Method of Payment


 


Interest on the Notes payable on any Interest
Payment Date will be paid to the Persons who are the Holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the Record Date (whether
or not a Business Day) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect
to defaulted interest. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to receive payments of principal and premium, if any. The Company
will pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in U.S. Legal Tender. The Company will pay the principal and
premium, if any, on, and may pay interest on, any Certificated Notes at the office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose
in the United States of America, upon surrender of such Certificated Notes by the Holders thereof at such office or agency. Interest
on any Certificated Notes may also be paid, at the Company’s option, by check mailed to the registered addresses of the Holders
entitled thereto or by wire transfer to accounts in the United States of America specified by such Holders. The Company will pay the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on Global Notes registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee in immediately
available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as Holder of such Global Notes.


 


Section 3. Paying Agent and Registrar


 


Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee
under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may replace or change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co Registrar
so long as there is a Paying Agent and Registrar in the United States of America, and may appoint additional Paying Agents and co-Registrars,
in each case without notice to Holders. The Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, co Registrar or Paying
Agent.


 


Section 4. Indenture


 


The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture
dated as of December 15, 2021 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”) between the Company and The
Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (together with its successors in such capacity, the “Trustee”). The terms of the Notes
include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such
terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined
in this Note have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.


 






     




     


    

 


Section 5. Optional Redemption


 


(a)       Prior
to September 30, 2024 (the “Par Call Date”), the Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s
option at any time and from time to time at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of,
and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record
on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date).


 


“Applicable Premium” means,
with respect to any Note on any Redemption Date for such Note, the greater of: (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Note and (2)
the excess, if any, of (a) the present value as of such Redemption Date of (i) the redemption price of such Note on the Par Call Date
(such redemption price being 100% of the principal amount of such Note) plus (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments
due on such Note to, but excluding, the Par Call Date, excluding accrued but unpaid interest to such Redemption Date, computed using
a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (b) the principal amount of such Note. Calculation of the Applicable
Premium and the Treasury Rate will be made by the Company or on behalf of the Company by such Person as the Company shall designate;
provided, however, that such calculation shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.


 


“Treasury Rate” means, with
respect to a Redemption Date for any Note, the average of the yields to maturity for the five most recent business days (or, if such
yields are not published for all five such business days, for those business days for which such yields are published) appearing in the
most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available
source of similar market data selected by the Company in its sole discretion) that is publicly available at least two Business Days prior
to the first day on which the Company mails or otherwise transmits the notice of redemption (or, in the case of redemption in connection
with Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.01 of the Indenture, as applicable,
at least two Business Days prior to the deposit of trust funds with the Trustee in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture)
of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity most nearly equal to the period from such Redemption Date to the Par Call
Date; provided, however, that if such period is not equal to the constant maturity of the United States Treasury security
for which a yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year)
from the yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if such period is less than one year,
the yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.


 


(b)       On
and after the Par Call Date, the Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time and from time to
time at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable
Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment
Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date).


 


(c)       Prior
to September 30, 2024, the Company will be entitled at its option on one or more occasions to redeem the Notes in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including any Additional Notes) originally issued prior to the
applicable Redemption Date at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) of 103.750%,
plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record
on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date), with the
Net Cash Proceeds from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings; provided, however, that:


 


(1)       at least 60%
of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) originally issued prior to the applicable Redemption Date
remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (other than Notes held, directly or indirectly, by the Company
or any of its Affiliates); and


 


(2)       each such redemption
occurs within 180 days after the date of the closing of the related Qualified Equity Offering.


 






     




     


    

 


(d)       Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, in connection with any tender offer or Change of Control Offer for the Notes, if Holders
of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes validly tender and do not validly withdraw such Notes
in such offer and the Company, or any third party making an offer in lieu of the Company, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered
and not validly withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 days’ nor
more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 60 days following such purchase date, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding
following such purchase at a price in cash equal to the price offered to each other Holder of the Notes in such offer (which may be less
than par) plus, to the extent not included in the offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of
redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment
Date).


 


(e)       Any
redemption of the Notes pursuant to this Section 5 may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be subject to one or more conditions
precedent and, in such case, if any such condition is not satisfied as and when required or waived by the Company, the applicable Redemption
Date may be delayed by the Company in its sole discretion and the Company in its sole discretion may cancel such redemption and rescind
any notice of redemption, all as further provided in the Indenture.


 


Section 6. Sinking Fund


 


Except as described in Section 8 below, the Company
is not required to make any mandatory redemption, mandatory repurchase or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. The Company
may at any time and from time to time acquire Notes by means other than a redemption or a repurchase pursuant to Section 8 below, whether
by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise.


 


Section 7. Selection of Notes for Redemption; Notice of Redemption


 


If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed
at any time, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee pro rata or by lot; provided that, in the case of Notes
represented by one or more Global Notes, interests in such Global Notes will be selected for redemption by the Depositary in accordance
with its applicable procedures therefor.


 


Notes shall be redeemed in a minimum principal
amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that the remaining principal amount of any Note redeemed
in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notice of any redemption will be given as provided in the
Indenture at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.


 


On and after a Redemption Date (or, if the Company
has delayed such Redemption Date as provided in the Indenture, on and after the applicable delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be),
interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary has segregated and holds
in trust), on or before such Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable), funds in an amount sufficient to pay the redemption
price of the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on such Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable), other
than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation, and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, such Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable) (subject to
the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to
such Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable)), and the only remaining right of the Holders of the Notes or portions
thereof called for redemption will be to receive payment of the redemption price and such accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon surrender
of the Notes to be redeemed to the Paying Agent.


 






     




     


    

 


Section 8. Repurchase of Notes
at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control Triggering Event


 


Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering
Event, each Holder of Notes will have the right (unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes then outstanding
pursuant to Section 5 above by sending (or causing the Trustee to send) a notice of redemption as provided in Article 3 of the Indenture)
to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer at a purchase
price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable Change
of Control Payment Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest
Payment Date falling on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date).


 


Interest on Notes (or portions thereof) validly
tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Change of Control Payment
Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price of the Notes).


 


Section 9. Guarantees


 


In the event that one or more Guarantors shall
guarantee payment of the Notes as provided in Article 10 of the Indenture, the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and
interest on, the Notes will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed, jointly and severally, by such Guarantors on the terms, to
the extent and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Indenture, including provisions for the release and termination
of such Guarantees and the obligations of each Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes and the Indenture.


 


Section 10. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange


 


The Notes are issued in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes
may be exchanged for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations as requested by the Holder if the Registrar’s
or co-Registrar’s requirements and the requirements under the Indenture (including, if applicable, Appendix A of the Indenture)
for such transaction are met. The Company, the Registrar, any co-Registrar and the Trustee may also require a Holder to furnish endorsements
and transfer documents as any of them may reasonably request in connection with the registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in
addition to any documents that are required or may be required as provided in the Indenture (including, without limitation, Appendix
A thereto), and the Company, the Registrar, any co-Registrar and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer
tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Registrar or any co-Registrar shall not be required to register
the transfer of or exchange any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing (or, if not
mailed, other transmittal) of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing (or other
transmittal), (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article 3 of the Indenture, except the unredeemed portion
of any Note being redeemed in part, (iii) between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (iv) tendered for repurchase
pursuant to a Change of Control Offer and not validly withdrawn.


 


Section 11. Persons Deemed Owners


 


Subject to the provisions of the Indenture and
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Holder of a Note may be treated as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.


 


Section 12. Unclaimed Money


 


Subject to any applicable abandoned property law,
if money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall
pay the money back to the Company at its request. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company
as a general creditor and not to the Trustee or Paying Agent for payment.


 






     




     


    

 


Section 13. Discharge, Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance;
Covenant Termination


 


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 money
and/or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity,
as the case may be. Subject to certain conditions, certain of the Company’s covenants and obligations under the Indenture may be
permanently terminated. Upon any such termination, any Guarantees of the Notes, and the obligations of any Guarantors under the Indenture
and their Guarantees, will also be terminated.


 


Section 14. Amendment, Waiver, Deemed Consents, Releases


 


The Indenture, the Notes and any Guarantees or
any other guarantees thereof may be modified, amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture, and compliance with any provision
of the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees or any other guarantees thereof may be waived, as provided in the Indenture. Any modification,
amendment, supplement or waiver shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders of Notes, whether or not notation of
such modification, amendment, supplement or waiver is made upon the Notes.


 


Section 15. Defaults and Remedies


 


If an Event of Default (other than an Event of
Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee
or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders
shall, declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing
to the Company as provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency relating
to the Company occurs and is continuing, then all principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the outstanding 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 Holder. The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and cancel any such acceleration and its consequences
on the terms and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture, and an acceleration of the Notes may, under certain limited circumstances
provided for in the Indenture, also be automatically rescinded and cancelled.


 


Section 16. 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, Registrar or co-Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply
with Sections 7.10 and 7.11 of the Indenture.


 


Section 17. No Recourse Against Others


 


A director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder,
partner or member of, or owner of an equity interest in, the Company or any Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations
of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason
of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note shall be deemed to have waived and released all such
liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.


 


Section 18. Successors


 


Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the
Indenture, when a successor assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture, the predecessor will be released from those obligations.
