Private Placement Legend and deposited with or on behalf of, and registered in the name of, the Depositary or its nominee that will be issued in a denomination equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A.

 “Acquired Debt” means, with respect to any specified Person: 

(1) Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is merged with or into or became a Subsidiary of
such specified Person, whether or not such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of, such specified Person; and 

(2) Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person. 

“Additional Notes” means additional Notes (other than the Initial Notes) issued hereunder in accordance with Sections 2.02
and 4.09 hereof, as part of the same series as the Initial Notes. 
 “Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other
Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition, “control,” as used with respect to any Person, means the possession,
directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise; provided that beneficial ownership of 10% or
more of the Voting Stock of a Person will be deemed to be control. For purposes of this definition, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with” have correlative
meanings. Unless otherwise specified or the context shall otherwise require, each reference to an “Affiliate” will refer to an Affiliate of the Company. 

“Agent” means any Registrar, co-registrar, Paying Agent or additional paying agent.

redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months); over (b) the principal amount of the Note. 

  
 1 













 “Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer or exchange of
or for beneficial interests in any Global Note, the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream that apply to such transfer or exchange. 

“Asset Sale” means:

or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be governed by Section 4.14 and/or
Section 5.01 hereof and not by the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof; and 
 (2) the issuance of Equity Interests
by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries or the sale by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries of Equity Interests in any of the Company’s Subsidiaries.

or useful in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as whole); 
 (5) licenses and
sublicenses by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of software or intellectual property in the ordinary course of business; 

(6) any surrender or waiver of contract rights or settlement, release, recovery on or surrender of contract, tort or other

 (7) the granting, creation or perfection of Liens not prohibited by Section 4.12 hereof, dispositions in

“Asset Swap” means any substantially contemporaneous (and in any event occurring within 180 days of each other) purchase and
sale or exchange of any assets or properties used or useful in a Permitted Business between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and another Person; provided, that the Fair Market Value of the properties or assets traded or exchanged by

Equivalents) to be received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, and provided further that any net cash or Cash Equivalents received must be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof if then in effect, as if the
Asset Swap were an Asset Sale. 
 “Attributable Debt” in respect of a sale and leaseback transaction means, at the time of
determination, the present value of the obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included in such sale and leaseback transaction including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at
the option of the lessor, be extended. Such present value shall be calculated using a discount rate equal to the rate of interest implicit in such transaction, determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that if such sale and leaseback
transaction results in a Capital Lease Obligation, the amount of Indebtedness represented thereby will be determined in accordance with the definition of “Capital Lease Obligation.” 

“Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. 

“Beneficial Owner” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that in calculating the beneficial ownership of any particular “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), such “person”
will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such “person” has the right to acquire by conversion or exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only after the passage
of time. The terms “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially Owned” have a corresponding meaning. 
 “Board of
Directors” means: 
 (1) with respect to a corporation, the board of directors of the corporation or any committee
thereof duly authorized to act on behalf of such board; 

  
 3

controlling committee of managing members thereof; and 
 (4) with respect to any other Person, the board or committee of
such Person serving a similar function. 
 “Business Day” means any day other than a Legal Holiday. 

“Capital Lease Obligation” means, at the time any determination is to be made, the amount of the liability in respect of a
financing lease or capital lease that would at that time be required to be capitalized on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the Stated Maturity thereof shall be the date of the last payment of rent or any other amount due under
such lease prior to the first date upon which such lease may be prepaid by the lessee without payment of a penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any lease (whether entered into before or after the Issue Date) that would have been classified as an
operating lease pursuant to GAAP as in effect on December 1, 2018 will be deemed not to represent a Capital Lease Obligation. For purposes of Section 4.12 hereof, a Capital Lease Obligation will be deemed to be secured by a Lien on the
property being leased. 
 “Capital Stock” means: 

(1) in the case of a corporation, corporate stock; 

(2) in the case of an association or business entity, any and all shares, interests, participations, rights or other
equivalents (however designated) of corporate stock; 
 (3) in the case of a partnership or limited liability company,
partnership interests (whether general or limited) or membership interests; and 
 (4) any other interest or participation
that confers on a Person the right to receive a share of the profits and losses of, or distributions of assets of, the issuing Person, but excluding from all of the foregoing any debt securities exercisable for, exchangeable for, or convertible into
Capital Stock, whether or not such debt securities include any right of participation with Capital Stock. 
 “Cash
Equivalents” means: 
 (1) United States dollars; 

(2) securities issued or directly and fully guaranteed or insured by the United States government or any agency or

(3) certificates of deposit and eurodollar time deposits with maturities of twelve months or less from the date of acquisition,
bankers’ acceptances with maturities not exceeding twelve months and overnight and demand bank deposits, in each case, with any lender party to the Credit Agreement or with any domestic commercial bank having capital and surplus in excess of
$500.0 million and a Thomson Bank Watch Rating of “B” or better;

underlying securities of the types described in clauses (2) and (3) above entered into with any financial institution meeting the qualifications specified in clause (3) above; 

(5) commercial paper having one of the two highest ratings obtainable from Fitch, Moody’s or S&P and, in each case,
maturing within nine months after the date of acquisition; 
 (6) money market funds at least 95% of the assets of which
constitute Cash Equivalents of the kinds described in clauses (1) through (5) of this definition; and 
 (7) with
respect to any Subsidiary of the Company conducting business in whole or in part outside of the United States, Investments denominated in the currency of any member of the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development. 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of
the following: 
 (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of
merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, to any Person (including any “person” as that term is used
in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than a Qualifying Owner; 
 (2) the adoption of a plan relating to the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company;

any time when the Company is a limited partnership, the consummation of any transaction (including any merger or consolidation), the result of which is that any Person (including any “person” (as defined above)), other than the Company,
any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or a Qualifying Owner, becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Company’s general partner, measured by voting power rather than number of shares,
units or the like; or 
 (5) at any time when the Company is not a limited partnership, the consummation of any transaction
(including any merger or consolidation), the result of which is that any Person (including any “person” (as defined above)), excluding the Qualifying Owners, becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the
Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, units or the like. 
 Notwithstanding the preceding, a
conversion of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from a limited partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other form of entity to a limited liability company, corporation, limited partnership or other form of entity
(including by way of merger, consolidation, amalgamation or liquidation) or an exchange of all of the outstanding Equity Interests in one form of entity for Equity Interests in another form of entity or the transfer or redomestication of the Company
to or in another jurisdiction shall not constitute a Change of Control, so long as following such conversion, exchange, transfer or redomestication the “persons” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) who
Beneficially Owned the Capital Stock of the Company immediately prior to such transactions, together with Qualifying Owners, Beneficially Own in the aggregate more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such entity, or Beneficially Own sufficient Equity

by such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any Asset Sale (or any transaction excluded from the definition thereof), or the disposition of securities or the early extinguishment of Indebtedness, to the extent such losses
were deducted in computing such Consolidated Net Income; plus 
 (2) provision for taxes based on income or profits of such
Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, to the extent that such provision for taxes was deducted in computing such Consolidated Net Income; plus

Person’s proportional share of the income of such other Person that was included in the Consolidated Net Income of such specified Person for such period; and minus

Consolidated Net Income for such period, other than the accrual of revenue in the ordinary course of business, in each case, on a consolidated basis and determined in accordance with GAAP.

 ARTICLE 2 

THE NOTES 
 Section 2.01 Form and Dating.

 (a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part hereof and the
Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery hereof, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions hereof, the
provisions hereof shall govern and be controlling. 
 (b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form
of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but
without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall
provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as
appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the
Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof. 

  
 29 













 Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. 

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be
valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence
that the Note has been authenticated hereunder. 
 The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by two Officers
(an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued hereunder, including (i) on the Issue Date, the Initial Notes and (ii) after the Issue Date, any Additional Notes. The aggregate
principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference herein to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company. 

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or
more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any
additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to
appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

 The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent (at its offices indicated in the definition of
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in Section 1.01 hereof) and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 
 Section 2.04 Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 
 The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying
Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company
in making any such payment. While any such default 

  
 30 













 
continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon
payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the
benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

Section 2.05 Holder Lists. 
 The
Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven
Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes. 

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by
the Company for Definitive Notes if: 
 (1) The Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;

 (2) the Company, at its option but subject to the Depositary’s requirements, notifies the Trustee in writing that it
elects to cause the issuance of the Definitive Notes; or 
 (3) there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default, and
the Depositary notifies the Trustee of its decision to exchange such Global Notes for Definitive Notes. 
 Upon the occurrence of any of the
preceding events in (1), (2) or (3) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10
hereof. Except as specified above, every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06, Section 2.07 or Section 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated
and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as
provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c) hereof. 
 (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The
transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to
restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as
applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by
the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in
another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee or authenticating agent will
authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 

(2) No service charge will be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note
for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar
governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.04 hereof). 

(3) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive
Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits hereunder, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

(4) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required: 

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; 

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

 37 













 (5) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note,
the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes,
and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (6) The Trustee will
authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof. 
 (7) All
certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. 
 If
any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee or authenticating agent, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order when the Notes are in the form of Definitive Notes, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder
that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in
replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits hereof
equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. 

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee or authenticating agent except for those canceled by the
Trustee, those delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as
set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01
hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. 
 In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent,
only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 

  
 38 













 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. 

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee or authenticating agent, upon receipt of
an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee or authenticating agent will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits hereof. 

Section 2.11 Cancellation. 
 The
Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will
cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all
canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company upon written request. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. 
 If
the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record
date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The
Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before
the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will send or cause to be sent (or when the Notes are represented by Global Notes, send or caused to be sent
electronically pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary) to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION AND
PREPAYMENT 
 Section 3.01 Election to Redeem; Notices to Trustee. 

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 20 days
but not more than 60 days (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee) before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth: 

(1) the clause hereof pursuant to which the redemption shall occur; 

(2) the redemption date; 

  
 39 













 (3) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; 

(4) the redemption price; and 

(5) if a redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, a statement to such effect describing
the conditions and stating that the redemption date may be delayed up to 10 Business Days and that if such conditions precedent are not satisfied within 10 Business Days after the proposed redemption date, such redemption shall not occur and the
notice thereof shall be deemed rescinded. 
 Other than an optional redemption made by an affirmative election of the Company pursuant to
this Section 3.01 and Section 3.03, no payment, purchase, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, exchange or other acquisition, retirement for value or satisfaction of Notes (including any payment made or deemed made after acceleration of the
Notes) shall constitute an optional redemption of the Notes for purposes of Section 3.07 hereof and paragraph 5 of the Notes. 
 Section 3.02
Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. 
 If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase
at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or purchase on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Notes issued in global form pursuant to Article 2 hereof, based on a method as the Depositary or its nominee or successor may require
or, where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements. 

The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected
for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a
Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions hereof that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase
also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 
 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will
mail or cause to be mailed by first class mail (or when the Notes are represented by Global Notes, sent electronically pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at
its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed (or otherwise sent) more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge hereof
pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 hereof. 
 The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state: 

(1) the redemption date; 

(2) the redemption price; 

(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the
redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; 

  
 40 













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

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

(6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment or the conditions precedent to the redemption are not
satisfied, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (7) the paragraph of
the Notes and/or Section hereof pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; 
 (8) if the
redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, a statement to such effect describing the conditions and stating that the redemption date may be delayed up to 10 Business Days and that if such conditions precedent are
not satisfied within 10 Business Days after the proposed redemption date, such redemption shall not occur and the notice thereof shall be deemed rescinded; and 

(9) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or
printed on the Notes. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its
expense; provided, however, that the Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof requests that the Trustee give such notice and sets forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the
preceding paragraph. The notice of redemption with respect to a redemption pursuant to Section 3.07(c) need not set forth the Applicable Premium but only the manner of calculation thereof. The Company will notify the Trustee of the Applicable
Premium with respect to any such redemption promptly after the calculation, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for such calculation. 

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable
(subject to the provisions of the next succeeding sentence) on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may be subject to one or more conditions precedent. If a redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more
conditions precedent, the redemption date may be delayed up to 10 Business Days. If such conditions precedent are not satisfied within 10 Business Days after the proposed redemption date, such redemption shall not occur and the notice thereof shall
be deemed rescinded. 
 Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

One Business Day prior to the redemption or purchase date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient
to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying
Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

  
 41 













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

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue, and, if the Note is a Definitive Note, upon receipt of
an Authentication Order, the Trustee or authenticating agent will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company, a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. 

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption. 

(a) Except pursuant to Section 3.07(b), (c), or (d), Section 3.08 or Section 4.14(e) hereof, the Notes will not be redeemable at
the Company’s option. 
 (b) At any time prior to July 15, 2022, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of
the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued hereunder at a redemption price equal to 105.625% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the
rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), with an amount of cash not greater than the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that: 

(1) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) originally issued
hereunder (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and 

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

(c) At any time prior to July 15, 2022, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than
15 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption,
subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. 
 (d)
On or after July 15, 2022, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the
Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights
of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date: 

  
 42 














					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2022
	  	 	102.813	% 
	 2023
	  	 	101.406	% 
	 2024 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (e) Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, or the redemption is subject to
satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent and such conditions precedent are not satisfied, the Notes will become due and payable and interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable
redemption date. 
 (f) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 or Section 4.14(e) shall be made pursuant to the provisions
of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. 
 Section 3.08 Mandatory Redemption. 

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. The Company may at any time and
from time to time purchase notes in the open market or otherwise, in each case without any restriction hereunder. 
 Section 3.09 Offer to Purchase
by Application of Excess Proceeds. 
 In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company is required to commence an
Asset Sale Offer, it will follow the procedures specified below. 
 The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and all holders of
other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth herein with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets. The Asset Sale Offer will remain open for
a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days
after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase, prepayment or redemption of Notes and such other pari passu
Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered, if applicable (except that any Notes represented by a Global Note will be selected by such method as the
Depositary or its nominee or successor may require or, where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate unless otherwise required by law or
applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements)) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same
manner as interest payments are made. 
 If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest
payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the
Asset Sale Offer. 

  
 43 













 Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company will send, by first class mail (or
when the Notes are represented by Global Notes, send electronically pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary), a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials
necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state: 

(1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of
time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open; 
 (2) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 

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

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer
will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an
Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; 

(6) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with
the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice
at least three days before the Purchase Date; 
 (7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company,
the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, electronic image scan, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of
the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 

(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in (or required to be
prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased, prepaid or redeemed on a pro rata basis (except
that any Notes represented by a Global Note shall be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require or, where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as the
Trustee deems fair and appropriate unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements) based on the principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered or required to be prepaid or
redeemed (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and 

(9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 
 On or before the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent
lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ 

  
 44 













 
Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying
Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the
Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a
principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on
or promptly after the Purchase Date. 
 Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this
Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. 
 ARTICLE 4 

COVENANTS 
 Section 4.01 Payment of Notes.

 The Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes on the dates and in
the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date
money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due. 

The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at a rate
that is equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to
any applicable grace period), at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an
affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and
this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or
fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any
or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

  
 45 













 The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office
or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

Notes (or file or furnish, as applicable, with the SEC for public availability), within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations applicable to the Company (or, in the event the Company is not so required, which would be
applicable to the Company if it were required), after giving effect to all applicable extensions and cure periods: 
 (1) all
quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and a presentation of EBITDA of the Company and its Subsidiaries derived from such financial statements; 

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if
the Company were required to file such reports; and 
 (3) if at any time the Company is not required to file reports with
the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, (a) as promptly as reasonably practicable after furnishing to the Trustee the reports and financial statements required by clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.03(a),
hold a conference call to discuss such reports and the results of operations for the relevant reporting period and (b) issue a press release to an internationally recognized wire service no fewer than three Business Days prior to the date of
the conference call required to be held in accordance with this paragraph, announcing the time and date of such conference call and either including all information necessary to access the call or directing noteholders, prospective investors, broker
dealers and securities analysts to contact the appropriate person at the Company to obtain such information. 
 All such reports will be

extensions and cure periods, applicable to the Company if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC. 
 (b) If the Company
has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 4.03(a) hereof will include, to the extent material, a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the
face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company. 

  
 46 













 (c) Any and all Defaults or Events of Default arising from a failure to furnish or file in a
timely manner a report or information required by this Section 4.03 shall be deemed cured (and the Company shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 4.03) upon furnishing or filing such report or information as contemplated by
this Section 4.03 (but without regard to the date on which such report or information is so furnished or filed); provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the Holders under Section 6.01 if the principal, interest and
premium, if any, have been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure. 

(d) In addition, the Company and the Guarantors will agree that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not
filing with the SEC the reports required by Section 4.03(a), they will furnish to the Holders of Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act. 
 (e) This Section 4.03
will not impose any duty on the Company under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related SEC rules that would not otherwise be applicable. Any reports, information or documents filed with the SEC pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering,
Analysis and Retrieval (EDGAR) system shall be deemed furnished to the Holders of the Notes as required pursuant to this covenant. The Trustee does not have a duty or obligation to monitor whether the Company has so filed such reports, information
or documents with the SEC. 
 (f) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and
the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to
which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 Section 4.04 Compliance Certificate. 

(a) The Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the TIA) shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90
days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a
view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations hereunder, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained herein and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto). 

(b) So long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.03 shall be accompanied by a written statement of the Company’s independent public accountants (who shall be a firm of established national
reputation) that in making the examination necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that the Company has violated any provisions of Article 4 or Article 5 hereof
or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such
violation. 

  
 47 













 (c) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee,
within 30 days after any Officer becomes aware of any Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto, unless such Event of Default has
been cured before the end of such 30-day period. 
 (d) Delivery of such reports, information and
documents under Section 4.03 and this Section 4.04 to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including compliance with any of the covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 

Section 4.05 Taxes. 
 The Company
will pay, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such
payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or
in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance hereof; and the Company and each of the
Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 Section 4.07 Restricted
Payments. 
 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: 

(1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Company’s or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends, payments or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company and other than dividends, payments or
distributions payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company); 
 (2) repurchase, redeem or otherwise
acquire or retire for value (including in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company (other than Equity Interests owned by the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company); 

  
 48 













 (3) make any principal payment on or with respect to, or repurchase, redeem,
defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to the scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to the
Notes or to any Note Guarantee (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except payments, purchases, repurchases, redemptions, defeasances or other acquisitions or retirements at
or within one year prior to the Stated Maturity thereof; or 
 (4) make any Restricted Investment 

(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted
Payments”), unless, after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment and either: 

(a) immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment (including the incurrence of any Indebtedness to finance such
Restricted Payment) as if it had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Reference Period, the Total Leverage Ratio would not be greater than 3.5 to 1.0 or, with respect to any such Restricted Payment consisting of a transfer or other
disposition of any assets other than cash and Cash Equivalents (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Guarantees), the Total Leverage Ratio would not be greater than 2.5 to 1.0; 

(b) if (i) such Restricted Payment cannot be made in compliance with clause (a) above, (ii) immediately after giving
effect to such Restricted Payment (including the incurrence of any Indebtedness to finance such Restricted Payment) as if it had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Reference Period, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company for the
applicable Reference Period is not less than 1.75 to 1.00, and (iii) in the case (and only in the case) of any such Restricted Payment consisting of a transfer or other disposition of any assets other than cash and Cash Equivalents (and, for
the avoidance of doubt, Guarantees), immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment (including the incurrence of any Indebtedness to finance such Restricted Payment) as if it had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Reference
Period, the Total Leverage Ratio would not be greater than 2.5 to 1.0, then such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause
(b) during the quarter in which such Restricted Payment is made, is less than the Operating Surplus of the Company for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available; or

together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (c) after the Issue Date is less than $175.0 million. 

(b) The provisions of Section 4.07(a) hereof will not prohibit: 

(1) the payment of any dividend or distribution or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 65 days after the date
of declaration of the dividend or distribution or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or distribution or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions hereof; 

(2) the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of or with the net cash proceeds of the substantially
concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution of common equity capital to the Company; provided that the amount of
any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will not be considered to be net proceeds of Equity Interests for purposes of determining the amount of Incremental Funds and will not be considered to be net cash proceeds
from an Equity Offering for purposes of Section 3.07 hereof; 

  
 49

Indebtedness; 
 (5) if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, the
purchase, repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company held by any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its

benefit plan or to satisfy obligations under any Equity Interests appreciation rights or option plan or similar arrangement, shareholders’ agreement or similar agreement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such purchased,

forward to succeeding calendar years plus, to the extent not previously applied or included, the net cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date; 

(6) the repurchase of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise, exchange or vesting of any equity compensation
(including stock or other equity options, restricted stock, phantom stock, warrants, incentives, rights to acquire Equity Interests or other derivative securities) to the extent such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise or other
price or cost thereof and any repurchase or other acquisition of Equity Interests made in lieu of or to satisfy taxes in connection with any exercise, exchange or vesting of stock or other equity options, restricted stock, phantom stock, warrants,

agreement in an aggregate amount for clauses (i) and (ii) not to exceed $250,000 in any calendar quarter.

Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment (or, in the case of a dividend or distribution, on the date of declaration) of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued
by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined, in the case of amounts under
$75.0 million, by an Officer of the Company, and in the case of amounts of $75.0 million or more, by the Board of Directors of the Company. 

(d) For purposes of this Section 4.07 and the definition of “Permitted Investments,” a contribution, sale or incurrence will be
deemed to be “substantially concurrent” if the related Restricted Payment or purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge, retirement or other acquisition for value or payment of principal or acquisition of
assets or Capital Stock occurs within 120 days before or after such contribution, sale or incurrence. 
 Section 4.08 Dividend and Other Payment
Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to
create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or
pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that (i) the priority that any series of Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary has in receiving dividends, distributions or liquidating distributions


  
 51 













 
before dividends, distributions or liquidating distributions are paid in respect of common stock of such Restricted Subsidiary shall not constitute a restriction on the ability to make dividends
or distributions on Capital Stock for purposes of this covenant and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be
deemed not to be a restriction on the ability to make payments with respect to such loans or advances; 
 (2) make loans or
advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary shall be deemed not to be a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or 
 (3) sell, lease or
transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (b) The restrictions in
Section 4.08(a) hereof will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 
 (1) the Credit
Agreement and other agreements as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the encumbrances and
restrictions contained in such amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend, distribution and
other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Issue Date, as determined in good faith by the Company; 

(2) this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees; 

(3) agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the provisions of Section 4.09 hereof and any
amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the encumbrances and restrictions therein are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole,
than those contained in this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees or the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date, whichever is more restrictive, as determined in good faith by the Company; 

(4) any directly or indirectly applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, order, approval, governmental license, permit,
requirement or similar restriction or any guideline, interpretation, directive, request (whether or not having the force of law) from or of, or any plan, memorandum or agreement with, any regulatory authority; 

(5) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any
Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was not prohibited by the terms hereof to be incurred; 

(6) customary non-assignment provisions in purchase and sale or exchange agreements for
Hydrocarbons, agreements of the types described in Permitted Liens clause (17) or similar operational agreements, or in licenses, easements, leases or other contracts commonly used in a Permitted Business; 

  
 52 













 (7) agreements governing purchase money obligations for property acquired in
the ordinary course of business and Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the nature described in Section 4.08 (a)(3) hereof; 

(8) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary or any assets thereof that restricts
distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending such sale or other disposition; 
 (9) agreements governing Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the
Indebtedness being refinanced, as determined in good faith by the Company; 
 (10) Liens permitted to be incurred under the
provisions of Section 4.12 hereof that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; 

(11) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale
agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements, shareholders’ agreements, partnership agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment) entered into in the
ordinary course of business, which limitation is applicable only to the assets or properties that are the subject of such agreements; 

(12) encumbrances or restrictions applicable only to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Domestic Subsidiary; 

(13) any agreement with respect to any property or asset acquired after the Issue Date (including by merger or consolidation)
as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such agreement was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any property or assets other than the
property or assets so acquired; 
 (14) Hedging Obligations or Treasury Management Arrangements; 

(15) encumbrances or restrictions on cash, cash equivalents or other deposits or net worth requirements imposed by customers or
lessors under leases or other contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; or

 In each case set forth above,
notwithstanding any stated limitation on the assets or property that may be subject to such encumbrance or restriction, an encumbrance or restriction on a specified asset or property or group or type of assets or property may also apply to all
improvements, additions, repairs, attachments and accessions thereto, construction thereon, assets and property affixed or appurtenant thereto, parts, replacements and substitutions therefor and all products and proceeds thereof, including
dividends, distributions, interest and increases in respect thereof. 

  
 53 













 Section 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to create, incur, issue, assume, Guarantee or otherwise become
directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Preferred
Stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the applicable Reference Period immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such Preferred Stock is issued, as the case may be, would
have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the Preferred Stock had been issued,
as the case may be, at the beginning of such Reference Period. 
 (b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit the
incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness or issuances of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 

(1) the incurrence by the Company and any Guarantor of Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an
aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and the Guarantors thereunder) not to exceed the
greater of (a) $750.0 million and (b) the sum of $275.0 million and 30.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined as of the date of such incurrence and after giving effect to the use of proceeds thereof; 

(2) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of (a) the Existing Indebtedness and (b) any
Permitted Acquisition Indebtedness; 
 (3) the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by
the Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued on the Issue Date; 
 (4) the incurrence by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations or other Indebtedness, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price,
other acquisition cost or cost of design, construction, installation, development, repair or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (together with improvements,
additions, accessions and contractual rights relating primarily thereto), in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease, discharge or otherwise retire for
value, in whole or in part, any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed at any time outstanding the greater of (a) $100.0 million and (b) 6.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined as of the date of such
incurrence and after giving effect to the use of proceeds thereof; 
 (5) the incurrence by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease, discharge or otherwise retire for value, in whole or in part, any Indebtedness (other
than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted hereby to be incurred under Section 4.09(a) or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (8), (13), (15) or (16) of this Section 4.09(b); 

  
 54 













 (6) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that: 

(a) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the Company or a Guarantor, if
such Indebtedness is not unsecured and expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a
Guarantor, then the incurrence of such Indebtedness; and 
 (b) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests
that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, 
 in each case of clause (a) or clause (b), will be deemed to constitute an
incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6); 

(7) the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
of any Preferred Stock; provided, however, that: 
 (a) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results
in any such Preferred Stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and 

(b) any sale or other transfer of any such Preferred Stock to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company, 
 in each case, will be deemed to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Stock by such
Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (7); 
 (8) the incurrence by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations; 
 (9) the Guarantee by the Company or any of the Guarantors of
(a) Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the extent that the guaranteed Indebtedness was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant or (b) Indebtedness incurred by a Joint Venture if,
in the case of this clause (b), such Guarantee constitutes a Permitted Investment or a Restricted Payment; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to the Notes or a Note Guarantee, then the Guarantee must be subordinated
to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed (or, at the Company’s election, to a greater extent); 
 (10) the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of self- insurance obligations and other social security or similar legislation, old age pension or public liability obligations, statutory obligations,
government contracts, trade contracts, regulatory obligations, leases, utility contracts and similar obligations, 

  
 55 













 
bid, plugging and abandonment, appeal, reimbursement, performance, tender, surety and similar bonds and completion guarantees provided by, or for the account of, the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business and any Guarantees, contingent reimbursement obligations, bank guarantees or letters of credit functioning as, supporting any or issued to assure payment or performance of the foregoing bonds or
obligations and workers’ compensation, health, disability or other benefits, unemployment or other insurance claims in the ordinary course of business; 

(11) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or
other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds; 
 (12)
the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of in-kind obligations relating to net oil or natural gas balancing positions arising in the ordinary course of business; 

(13) any obligation arising from agreements of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company providing for
indemnification, contribution, adjustment of purchase price, earn-outs, holdbacks, deferred compensation or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition or acquisition of any business, assets or Capital
Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary in a transaction permitted hereby; 
 (14) the incurrence by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of the financing of insurance premiums with the providers of such insurance or their Affiliates in the ordinary course of business; 

(15) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness representing deferred compensation to
employees of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company incurred in the ordinary course of business (including those incurred in connection with any acquisition); 

(16) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness or the issuance by the
Company of any Disqualified Stock in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any
Indebtedness incurred or Disqualified Stock issued pursuant to this clause (16), not to exceed the greater of (a) $100.0 million and (b) 6.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined as of the date of such incurrence or issuance and after
giving effect to the use of proceeds thereof; and 
 (17) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
of liability in respect of Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Joint Venture but only if such liability is the result of the Company’s or any such Restricted Subsidiary’s being a general partner or member of, or owner of an
Equity Interest in, such Unrestricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture and not as guarantor of such Indebtedness if, after giving effect to any such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred under this clause (17) and
then outstanding does not exceed $25.0 million. 
 The Company will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any
Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes
and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical 

  
 56 













 
terms (or, at the Company’s election, to a greater extent); provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be considered contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other
Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured, secured with different collateral or to a greater or lesser extent or priority or by virtue of structural subordination, maturity date or being guaranteed by less than all guarantors of such other
Indebtedness. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the
criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in Section 4.09(b)(1) through (17) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Company will be permitted to divide, classify and
reclassify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later redivide or reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on
the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated hereunder will initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt. The accrual of interest or
dividends, the accretion of principal, accreted value or liquidation preference, the amortization of original issue discount or debt discount, the payment of interest on Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of dividends
on Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional securities of the same class of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock, the obligation to pay a premium in respect of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock arising in
connection with the issuance of a notice of redemption or the making of a mandatory change of control offer or asset sale offer for such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock, increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding
solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values, unrealized losses or charges in respect of Hedging Obligations, and the reclassification of Preferred Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, in each
case will be deemed not to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant; provided that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued to the extent
required by the definition of such term. 
 Section 4.10 Asset Sales. 

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

(1) the Company (or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least
equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the Equity Interests issued or the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(2) at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary is in the
form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this clause (2) only, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(a) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed or otherwise forgiven or released by the transferee of any such assets (or an Affiliate thereof);

 (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee
that are, within 180 days after the Asset Sale, converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; 

  
 57 













 (c) any Capital Stock or assets of the kind referred to in clause
(2) or (4) of Section 4.10(b); and 
 (d) any Designated Non-cash
Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant
to this clause (d) that is at that time outstanding, no greater than 5.0% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the Fair Market
Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value. 

(b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or any Restricted Subsidiary) may apply such Net
Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following: 
 (1) to repay, purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or
otherwise acquire, retire or terminate (a) Indebtedness and all other Obligations related thereto that are secured by a Lien or (b) Obligations with respect to Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (other than
Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary); 
 (2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets
of, or any Capital Stock of, one or more other Persons primarily engaged in a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, such Person is a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 

(3) to make capital expenditures in respect of the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s Permitted Business; 

(4) to acquire assets (other than Capital Stock) that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or
useful in a Permitted Business; or 
 (5) to make Investments in a Joint Venture not prohibited by Section 4.07, the
proceeds of which will be applied by such Person to any combination of (i) repaying, purchasing, repurchasing, redeeming, defeasing or otherwise acquiring, retiring or terminating Indebtedness of such Person or a Subsidiary of such Person and
other Obligations related thereto, (ii) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, one or more other Persons primarily engaged in a Permitted Business, (iii) making capital expenditures in respect of such
Person’s Permitted Business, or (iv) acquiring assets (other than Capital Stock) that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business. 

(c) The requirement of clauses (2) through (4) and (5)(ii)-(iv) of Section 4.10(b) shall be deemed to be satisfied if a bona fide
binding contract committing to make the investment, acquisition or expenditure referred to therein is entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be (or in the case of clause (5)(ii)-(iv), such Joint Venture), with a
Person other than an Affiliate of the Company within the time period specified in the preceding paragraph and such Net Proceeds are subsequently applied in accordance with such contract within six months following the date such agreement is entered
into. 

  
 58 













 (d) The Company (or any Restricted Subsidiary) may expend or invest the Net Proceeds in any
manner that is not prohibited hereby, including temporarily reducing revolving credit borrowings. 
 (e) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales
that are not applied as provided in Section 4.10(b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million, within 30 days thereafter, the Company will make an offer
(an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes, and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth herein with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or
redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase, prepay or redeem, on a pro rata basis, the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount
of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, and will be payable in cash.
If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited hereby. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other
pari passu Indebtedness tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be
purchased, prepaid or redeemed on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a Note in global form will be selected by such method as the Depositary or its nominee or successor may require or, where such nominee or successor is
the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements), based on the amounts tendered or
required to be prepaid or redeemed (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased). Upon completion of each
Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to any Excess Proceeds by making an Asset Sale Offer prior to the expiration of the relevant 360-day period or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $30.0 million or less. 
 (f) The Company will
comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each
repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.10, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will
be deemed not to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance. 
 (g) The provisions hereof
relative to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the notes as a result of an Asset Sale may be amended, waived, modified or terminated with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes
(including Additional Notes, if any). 
 (h) All references herein to “Net Proceeds” and “Excess Proceeds”
shall be deemed to mean cash in an amount equal to the amount of Net Proceeds or Excess Proceeds but not necessarily the actual cash received from the relevant Asset Sale. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to segregate, trace
or otherwise identify Net Proceeds or Excess Proceeds (other than the amount thereof), it being agreed that cash is fungible and that the Company’s obligations under this Section 4.10 may be satisfied by the application of funds from other
sources.

 Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates. 

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

(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than
those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person or, if in the good faith judgment of the Company, no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such
Affiliate Transaction, such Affiliate Transaction is otherwise fair to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; and 

(2) the Company delivers to the Trustee: 

(A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $50.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with this covenant as determined in good faith by an Officer of the Company disinterested
with respect to such Affiliate Transaction; and 
 (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related
Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $100.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with this Section 4.11 and
that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members (or, if there are no disinterested members, a majority of the members) of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 (b) The following items will be deemed not to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of
Section 4.11(a) hereof: 
 (1) any employment or consulting agreement or arrangement, equity award, equity option or
equity appreciation agreement or plan, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification, compensation or severance agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary

 (2) transactions between or
among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 (7) entry into, and transactions effected in
accordance with the terms of, the agreements described in the Offering Memorandum or that are described in filings with the SEC that are incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum, in each case as such agreements are in effect on the Issue
Date, and any amendment, renewal, extension or replacement of any of such agreements if any such amendment, renewal, extension or replacement agreement is not materially less advantageous to the Company, taken as a whole, than the agreement so
amended, renewed, extended or replaced; 
 (8) loans or advances to or reimbursements of expenses incurred by employees for
moving, entertainment and travel expenses and similar expenditures in the ordinary course of business permitted under clause (8) of the definition of Permitted Investments; 

(9) any transaction in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a
letter from an accounting, appraisal, advisory or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not
materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unaffiliated Person; 

(10) in the case of contracts for exploiting, exploring for, drilling, acquiring, developing, producing, operating, processing,
gathering, marketing, distributing, transporting, treating, selling, storing or otherwise handling Hydrocarbons, or activities or services reasonably related or ancillary thereto, contracts of the types described in clause (17) of Permitted
Liens, or other contracts commonly used in a Permitted Business, any such contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms hereof (i) that are fair to the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated Person and
(ii) with respect to which the Company has complied with Section 4.11(a)(2)(A) if such clause would otherwise be applicable; 

(11) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the

obtained at such time from an unaffiliated Person; 
 (12) transactions with Diamondback Energy, Inc. and its Affiliates that
are approved by the Board of Directors (or any conflicts committee thereof) of the Company’s general partner in accordance with the Company’s partnership agreement; 

  
 61 













 (13) transactions between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
and any Person that would not otherwise constitute an Affiliate Transaction except for the fact that a director or manager of such Person is also a director or manager of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary if such director or manager abstains
from voting as a director or manager of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, on such transaction; 

(14) pledges by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of (and Guarantees by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary limited
in recourse solely to) Equity Interests in Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures to secure Non-Recourse Debt, and incurrences of liabilities with respect to Customary Recourse Exceptions; and 

(15) any Affiliate Transaction with a Person in its capacity as a holder of Indebtedness or Equity Interests of the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary if such Person is treated no more favorably than the other similarly situated holders of Indebtedness or Equity Interests of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary. 

Section 4.12 Liens. 
 The Company
will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness upon any of their property
or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless all payments due to the Holders under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with (or at the Company’s election, prior to) the Indebtedness so secured until such
time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by a Lien. 
 Section 4.13 Corporate Existence. 

Except as otherwise permitted under Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in
full force and effect: 
 (1) its limited partnership existence, and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or
other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary; and 

(2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors or senior management of the
Company, or of a general partner of the Company if the Company is a partnership, shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the
loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 4.14 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

 (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part
(equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth herein. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will
offer a payment in cash (a “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and 

  
 62 













 
unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Purchase Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will send a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control
and offering to repurchase Notes properly tendered prior to the expiration date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 15 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, pursuant to the procedures required
hereby and setting forth the following: 
 (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this
Section 4.14 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; 
 (2) the amount of the Change of Control
Payment and the Change of Control Purchase Date, which shall be no earlier than 15 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent; 

(3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant
to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date; 
 (5) that Holders
electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by
book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date; 

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business
on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and 
 (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only
in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will be deemed not to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.14 by virtue of such
compliance. 
 (b) Promptly following the expiration of the Change of Control Offer, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for
payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Promptly after such acceptance, the Company will, on the Change of Control Purchase Date: 

  
 63 













 (1) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control
Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (2) deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 

The paying agent will promptly mail or wire transfer to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes
(or, if all the Notes are then in global form, make such payment through the facilities of the Depositary), and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal
amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Purchase Date. 

(c) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of
Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of
Control Offer, (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price, or (3) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of
Control, the Company has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and, on and after the relevant purchase date, has
purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control
Offer is made. 
 (e) In the event that Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes accept a Change
of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer and the Company (or any third party making such Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above) purchases all of the Notes held by such holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less
than 15 nor more than 60 days prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the
Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes that remain outstanding, to the date of redemption (or, in the case of an Alternate Offer, at the purchase
price paid in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer, plus, to the extent not included in the terms of such Alternate Offer, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes that remain outstanding, to the date of redemption), in each
case subject to the right of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. 

(f) The provisions hereunder relative to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of
Control may be amended, waived, modified or terminated with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender
offer or exchange offer for the Notes) prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control.

 Section 4.15 Additional Note Guarantees. 

If, after the Issue Date, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (including any Subsidiary acquired or created after the Issue Date) that is
not already a Guarantor (1) guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor or (2) is a Domestic Subsidiary and is an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness under any Credit Facility, then, in either case, that Restricted
Subsidiary will become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto and delivering an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, in each case within 30
Business Days after the date that Subsidiary guaranteed or became obligated with respect to such Indebtedness. 
 Section 4.16 Designation of
Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
 Except during any period that certain covenants have been suspended pursuant to
Section 4.17 hereof, the Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to such
designation or would occur as a result thereof and (b) such Subsidiary (i) does not own any Equity Interests or Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness to be repaid or Guarantees to be released
concurrently with such designation) and (ii) is not liable (as a guarantor or otherwise) with respect to any Indebtedness in connection with which the holder of such Indebtedness has recourse to any of the assets of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary, other than (A) Indebtedness to be repaid or Guarantees to be released concurrently with such designation, (B) liability arising out of pledges of Equity Interests in such Unrestricted Subsidiary and
(C) Customary Recourse Exceptions. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary
designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation that must either reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof or represent an Investment
permitted under one or more clauses of such covenant or the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary
otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complies with the
preceding conditions and is permitted by Section 4.07 hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the requirements set forth in clause (b) of the preceding paragraph or in clauses (1)-(3) of the definition of
the term “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes hereof and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of
such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, the Company will be in default of such covenant. 

The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;
provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if:
(a) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Reference Period and (b) no Default or Event of Default would be in
existence following such designation. 

  
 65 













 Section 4.17 Covenant Suspension 

(a) If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Notes are rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s,
BBB- or better by Fitch and BBB- or better by S&P (or, if any such entity ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the control of the Company, the equivalent
investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a) (62) of the Exchange Act selected by the Company as a replacement agency), or are so rated
by at least two of such three rating agencies; and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, upon the Company’s delivery of notice of such events to the Trustee, Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10,
4.11, 4.16 and 5.01(a)(4) of this Indenture will be suspended and no Default or Event of Default shall result from any failure to comply with any of the provisions of such Sections. 

(b) During any period that the Sections listed in Section 4.17(a) have been suspended, the Company’s Board of Directors may not
designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 4.16 hereof. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the rating assigned by at least two of such rating agencies should subsequently decline to below Baa3 or BBB-, respectively, the foregoing covenants will be reinstituted as of and from the date of such rating
decline. Calculations under the reinstated Section 4.07 hereof will be made as if Section 4.07 had been in effect since the Issue Date except that no Default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made
while that covenant was suspended. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility with respect to, or obligation or duty
to monitor, determine or inquire (i) as to whether or not the rating of the Notes has been adjusted, or (ii) as to whether or not an event has occurred or is continuing resulting in the suspension or reinstatement of the covenants pursuant
to this Section 4.17. The Trustee will have no obligation to notify the Holders of Notes of the occurrence of such suspension or reinstitution.

Section 4.09(a) hereof or (B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease

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 and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into
or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions hereof referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company
hereunder with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, and
interest, if any, on, the Notes except in the case of a sale of all of the Company’s assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof.

(A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest, if any, on, such Indebtedness prior to the
expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or 

(B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, 

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been
a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $50.0 million or more; provided, however, if, prior to any acceleration of the Notes, (i) any such Payment Default is cured or waived, (ii) any such
acceleration is rescinded, or (iii) such Indebtedness is repaid in full, any Default or Event of Default (but not any acceleration of the Notes) caused by such Payment Default or acceleration shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such

Section 6.02 Acceleration. 
 In the
case of an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.01 hereof, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. 

Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all
of the Holders of all the Notes, rescind an acceleration (other than an acceleration under the first sentence of this Section 6.02) and its consequences hereunder, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all
existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on the Notes that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 

Section 6.03 Other Remedies. 
 If an
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this
Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All
remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event
of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose hereof; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be
unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 Section 6.06 Limitation on
Suits. 
 No Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

(1) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 

(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee
to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with such
request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over
another Holder of a Note. 
 Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal and interest on such Note, on
or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent
lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by
a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or
arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes
or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10
Priorities. 
 If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof, including payment of all
compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

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

Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

  
 71 













 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes
pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a
Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to
Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 
 ARTICLE 7

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

misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

 (2) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is

(b), and (c) of this Section 7.01. 

  
 72 













 (e) No provision hereof will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur

 (f) The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee
may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 (a)
The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee
will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel

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

 (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any demand, request, direction
or notice from the Company will be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company. 
 (f) The Trustee will be under no obligation to
exercise any of its rights or powers hereunder at the request of any Holder of Notes, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 

(g) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default, except failure by the Company to pay
or cause to be made any of the payments required to be made to the Trustee, unless a Responsible Officer shall be specifically notified by a writing of such Default by the Company or by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and in the absence of such notice so delivered the Trustee may conclusively assume no Default exists. 

(h) Any action taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Trustee in good faith pursuant to the documents upon the request or authority or consent
of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of Notes and upon Notes executed and delivered in exchange therefor or in
place thereof. 
 (i) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, or consequential loss or damage
of any kind whatsoever (including loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

  
 73 













 (j) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the
performance of its powers and duties hereunder. 
 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 any
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act) after a Default has occurred and is continuing, it
must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.09 hereof. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not
be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision hereof, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by
any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its
certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail (or when the Notes are
represented by Global Notes, send electronically pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary) to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of an Event of Default in
payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of
the Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 7.06 Compensation and Indemnity. 

(a) The Company will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance hereof and services hereunder. The
Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it
in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

(b) The Company and the Guarantors will indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable
attorney’s fees and expenses and court costs) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the
Guarantors (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct as found by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim
for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate
in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld. 

  
 74 













 (c) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.06 will
survive the satisfaction and discharge hereof and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 (d) To secure the Company’s and the
Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee will have a Lien 
 prior to the Notes on all money or property
held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge hereof. 

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(8) or (9) hereof
occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

Section 7.07 Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from
the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the
Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09 hereof; 

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

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company. 
 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.09
hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  
 75 













 (f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee hereunder. The successor Trustee will mail a notice
of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in
Section 7.06 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.08 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee. 
 Section 7.09 Eligibility; Disqualification.

 There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States
of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 ARTICLE 8 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate,
elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the
Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented
by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections hereof referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below,
and to have satisfied all their other obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (1) the rights of Holders of
outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 

  
 76 













 (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article
2 and Section 4.02 hereof; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Article 8. 

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the
Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15 and
4.16 hereof and clause (a)(4) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the
Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed
“outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note
Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein
to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but,
except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (10) hereof will not constitute Events of Default. 

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof: 

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee, in trust, solely for the benefit of the

(iii) in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants (or, if a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants declines to issue
such opinion after the Company has made reasonable efforts to obtain such an opinion, in the opinion of the Company’s chief financial officer), to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the outstanding Notes on the
stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date; 

  
 77 













 (2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company
must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: 
 (A) the Company
has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 
 (B) since the Issue Date,
there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of
Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of an
election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of
Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings); 

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (6) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the
deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and 

(7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 Section 8.05 Deposited Money and
Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”)
pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

  
 78 













 The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or
other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the
contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or other Person that rendered the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee
(which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Section 8.06 Repayment to Company. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium
on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company)
will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability
of the Company as Trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in The New York
Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of
such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 8.07 Reinstatement. 

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

(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of Notes or that does not adversely
affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder; 
 (5) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note
Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the “Description of Notes” was intended to set forth, verbatim or in substance, a provision
of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees (which intent will be certified to the Trustee in an Officers’ Certificate); 

(6) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth herein;

 Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including
Section 3.09, 4.10 and 4.14 hereof) and the Notes and the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional
Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default
(other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest, if any, on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision
of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including
consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). Sections 2.08 and 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this
Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any
such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02
hereof, subject to Section 9.05, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture. 

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or
waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail (or when the Notes are represented by Global Notes, send electronically pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary) to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a
notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. Subject to
Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture, the
Notes or the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting
Holder): 
 (1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to
the redemption or repurchase of the Notes (except those provisions relating to Section 3.09, Section 4.10 or Section 4.14, or the minimum notice provisions under Section 3.03); 

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

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes
(except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 

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

  
 81 













 (6) make any change in the provisions hereof relating to waivers of past
Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest, if any, on, the Notes (other than as permitted by clause (2) above or clause (7) below); 

(7) waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Section 4.10 or
Section 4.14); 
 (8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture,
except in accordance with the terms hereof; or 
 (9) make any change in the preceding amendment, supplement and waiver
provisions. 
 Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a
Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a
Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms
and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in
exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

 Section 9.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9, but the Trustee will not be obligated
to enter into any such amendment or supplement that affects the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee hereunder or otherwise. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture under Section 9.02 hereof until the
Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the
documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted hereby. 

ARTICLE 10 
 NOTE GUARANTEES 

Section 10.01 Guarantee. 
 (a)
Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of
the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: 

  
 82 













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

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be
promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will jointly and
severally be obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability
of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce
the same or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not
be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (c) If any Holder or the
Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the
Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (d) Each
Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as
between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such
obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Notes, the Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any
non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee. 

(e) As of the Issue Date, Rattler Midstream Operating LLC, Tall City Towers LLC, Rattler OMOG LLC and Rattler Ajax Processing LLC are the only
Guarantors. 

  
 83 













 Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

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

Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. 

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture or a supplemental indenture will be executed on behalf of
such Guarantor by one of its Officers. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. 
 If an Officer
whose signature is on this Indenture or on a notation of Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee or authenticating agent authenticates the Note on which a notation of Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be
valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of
the Note Guarantee set forth herein on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
creates or acquires any Subsidiary after the Issue Date, if required by Section 4.15 hereof, the Company will cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

 Section 10.04. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. 

Unless such sale or other disposition or consolidation or merger or a contemporaneous event or circumstance, or a series of contemporaneous
events or circumstances, results in the release of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, a Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of, in one or more related transactions, all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless: 

(1) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

 (2) either: 

(a) such Guarantor is the surviving entity; or 

  
 84 













 (b) subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the
properties or assets in any such sale or other disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and
this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto. 
 In case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee and the due and
punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions hereof to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such
successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the notations of Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All
the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit hereunder as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms hereof as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at
the date of the execution hereof. 
 Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (2)(a) and (b) above,
nothing contained herein or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor. 
 Section 10.05. Releases. 

(a) The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically released: 

(1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of that Guarantor,
including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate
Section 4.10 hereof; 
 (2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor or
of a parent entity of that Guarantor (if such parent entity is a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10 hereof and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of the sale or other disposition; 

(3) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with
the applicable provisions hereof; 
 (4) upon Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge hereof as
provided in Article 8 and Article 11 hereof; 
 (5) at such time as such Guarantor ceases both (a) to
Guarantee any other Indebtedness of the Company or any other Guarantor (except as a result of payment under any such other Guarantee) and (b) to be a Domestic Subsidiary that is an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness under any Credit
Facility; 

  
 85 













 (6) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor, if no Default or
Event of Default has occurred that is continuing; or 
 (7) upon such Guarantor consolidating with, merging into or
transferring all of its properties or assets to the Company or another Guarantor, and as a result of, or in connection with, such transaction under this clause (7), such Guarantor dissolving or otherwise ceasing to exist. 

(b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the
full amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor hereunder as provided in this Article 10. 

(c) Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any of the
conditions in Section 10.05(a) hereof has occurred, the Trustee shall execute any supplemental indenture or other documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its
Note Guarantee and this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE 11 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE. 

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder (except as to surviving rights of
registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes and as otherwise specified herein), when: 
 (1) either: 

(a) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes
for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the sending
of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the
holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (in the case of Government Securities or a combination of cash in U.S. Dollars
and Government Securities, (x) in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or a nationally recognized investment banking firm or (y) if no such opinion in the immediately preceding clause (x) can
be reasonably obtained, in the opinion of the chief financial officer of the Company), without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for
principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest, if any, on, the Notes to the date of Stated Maturity or redemption; 
 (2) in
respect of clause (1)(b), no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit
relating to other 

  
 86 













 
Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement
or instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction
and discharge and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and in each case the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings); 

(3) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by it hereunder; and 

(4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee hereunder to apply the deposited money toward the payment
of the Notes at Stated Maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge hereof, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause
(1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.06 hereof, that, by their terms,
survive the satisfaction and discharge hereof. 
 Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held
in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of
any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder and under the Notes
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Notes because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 
 [Insert the
Global Note Legend, if applicable pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture] 
 [Insert the Private Placement Legend, if applicable pursuant to the
provisions of the Indenture] 
 Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below
unless otherwise indicated. 
 (1) INTEREST. Rattler Midstream LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
“Company”), promises to pay or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.625% per annum. The Company will pay interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and
July 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to
which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; 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 shall
accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be January 15, 2021. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law)
on overdue principal at a rate that is equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; and it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of
interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace period), at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Interest will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted
interest), if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before
such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Paying Agent
and Registrar within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire
transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the
Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the
Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

 (4) INDENTURE. The Company issued the
Notes under an Indenture dated as of July 14, 2020 (as such may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee. The Notes are subject
to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be
controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. 

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a) Except pursuant to the following paragraphs and as set forth in Section 4.14(e) of the Indenture, the Notes will not be redeemable at
the Company’s option. 
 (b) At any time prior to July 15, 2022, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of
the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 105.625% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption
(subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), with an amount of cash not greater than the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that: 

(i) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) originally issued under
the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and 

(ii) the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 

(c) At any time prior to July 15, 2022, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 
 (d) On or after July 15, 2022 the Company may on any one
or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, if redeemed during
the twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date: 

 

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2022
	  	 	102.813	% 
	 2023
	  	 	101.406	% 
	 2024 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 


  
 A-3 













 Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, or the redemption is
subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent and such conditions precedent are not satisfied, the notes will become due and payable and interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the
applicable redemption date. 
 (6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company will not be required to make any mandatory
redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. The Company may at any time and from time to time purchase notes in the open market or otherwise, in each case without any restriction hereunder. 

(7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER. 

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any
part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a payment in
cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will send a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to
repurchase Notes properly tendered prior to the expiration date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 15 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and
described in such notice. The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Indenture. 

(b) If the Company fails to apply the Net Proceeds from Asset Sales in the manner specified in the Indenture within 360 days
after the receipt of such Net Proceeds, any Net Proceeds not so applied will constitute Excess Proceeds. Within 30 days of the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeding $30.0 million, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders
of Notes and all Holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to
purchase, prepay or redeem, on a pro rata basis, the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in
connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase,
prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, and will be payable in cash. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari
passu Indebtedness tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased, prepaid or
redeemed on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a Global Note shall be selected by such method as the Depositary or its nominee or successor may require or, where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly
approximates pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements), based on the principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness
amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased). Upon
completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. The 

  
 A-4 













 
Company may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to any Excess Proceeds by making an Asset Sale Offer prior to the expiration of the relevant
360-day period or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $30.0 million or less. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any
related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes. 

(8) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or
cause to be mailed, by first class mail (or when the Notes are represented by Global Notes, sent electronically pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed, except
that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 thereof. Notes and
portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be
redeemed or purchased. 
 (9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form 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 as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or
portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be
redeemed or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 (10) PERSONS DEEMED
OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders have rights under the Indenture. 

(11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees
may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and certain existing Defaults or Events
of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if
any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor
pursuant to the Indenture, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder, to conform the text of the
Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision of the
“Description of Notes” was intended to set forth, verbatim or in substance, a provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees (which intent will be certified to the Trustee in an
Officers’ Certificate), 

  
 A-5 













 
to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, to secure the Notes or the Note Guarantees pursuant to the requirements of
Section 4.12 of the Indenture, to add any additional Guarantor or to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its Note Guarantee, in each case as provided in the Indenture, to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the
Indenture of a successor Trustee, or to provide for the conversion, transfer or redomestication of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01(b) of the Indenture. 

(12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i) default for 30 days in
the payment when due of interest, if any, on the Notes; (ii) default in the payment when due (at Stated Maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes; (iii) failure by the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.14 or 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company for 180 days after notice from the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding to comply with Section 4.03 of the Indenture; (v) failure by the Company for 60 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding to comply with any of the other agreements in the Indenture; (vi) default under certain other agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Company which default is a Payment Default or results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness
prior to its express maturity; (vii) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay certain final judgments, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of 60 consecutive days; (viii) certain
events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary and
(ix) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any
Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further
action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Holders may
not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except an Event of Default
relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. Subject to certain limitations, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all the Holders, rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any
Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Event of Default unless such Event of Default has been cured before the end of the 30-day period specified in the Indenture. 

(13) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity,
may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

  
 A-6 













 (14) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No
director, officer, employee, incorporator or unitholder or other owner of any Capital Stock of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the
Note 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 waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for
issuance of the Notes.

authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
