this Indenture). 

  
 10

except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 2.03) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers’ Certificate or Company Order referred to above or
in any such indenture supplemental hereto. 
 If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board
Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action, together with such Board Resolution, shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate or certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee
at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate or Company Order setting forth the terms of the series. 
  

	SECTION 2.02	Denominations. 

 The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations as
shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.01. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiples thereof. 
  

	SECTION 2.03	Forms Generally. 

 The Securities of each series shall be in fully registered form and in
substantially such form or forms (including temporary or permanent global form) established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by
law, securities exchange rule, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other similar governing documents, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a
form acceptable to the Company). A copy of the Board Resolution establishing the form or forms of Securities of any series shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 2.04 for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities. 
 The definitive Securities of each series shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on
steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the Officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution thereof. 

  
 11 

 The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

 “This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the
within-mentioned Indenture. 
  

			
	[                    
                    ], as Trustee
		
	By:	 	  

		 	    Authorized Officer”.

  

	SECTION 2.04	Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

 Two Officers of the Company shall sign
the Securities on behalf of the Company and, with respect to any related Guarantees, an Officer of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall sign the Notation of Guarantee on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case by manual or facsimile signature.

 If an Officer of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the
Security or the Notation of Guarantee, as the case may be, is authenticated, the Security shall be valid nevertheless. 
 A Security shall
not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or the related Guarantees or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee, which signature shall be conclusive
evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security has been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company delivers such Security to
the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.13, together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued
and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or the related Guarantees. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series
executed by the Company (and if applicable, the Notation of Guarantee for such series executed by each Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series) to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities for original issue upon a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by Company Order. Such order shall specify the
amount of the Securities to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated, the name or names of the initial Holder or Holders and any other terms of the Securities of such series not otherwise
determined. If provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize (1) authentication and delivery of Securities of such series for original issue from time to time, with certain terms (including, without limitation, the Maturity
dates or dates, original issue date or dates and interest rate or rates) that differ from Security to Security and (2) may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized
agent, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. 

  
 12 

 If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one
or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Section 2.01, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive (in addition
to the Company Order referred to above and the other documents required by Section 11.04), and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon: 

(a) an Officers’ Certificate of the Company setting forth the Board Resolution and, if applicable, an appropriate record
of any action taken pursuant thereto, as contemplated by the last paragraph of Section 2.01; and 
 (b) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that: 
 (i) the form of such Securities has been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture; 
 (ii) the terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
and 
 (iii) that such Securities and the related Guarantees, if any, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, enforceable against the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or other similar
laws in effect from time to time affecting the rights of creditors generally, and the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers’ Certificate and
Opinion of Counsel at the time of issuance of each such Security, but such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of the series to be issued. 

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issuance of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture would affect
the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such
appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as
an Agent to deal with the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor. 

  
 13 

 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

 

	SECTION 2.05	Registrar and Paying Agent. 

 The Company shall maintain an office or agency for each
series of Securities where Securities of such series may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities of such series may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”).
The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities of such series 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 shall enter into an appropriate
agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent
not a party to this Indenture. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company,
any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee as
Registrar and Paying Agent. 
  

	SECTION 2.06	Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

 The Company shall require each Paying Agent other
than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on or any Additional Amounts
with respect to Securities and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for
any funds disbursed. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon payment over to the Trustee and upon accounting for any funds disbursed, the Paying Agent
(if other than the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or another Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or another Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall
segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent shall otherwise comply with TIA § 317(b). 

  
 14 

	SECTION 2.07	Holder Lists. 

 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, the Company shall furnish to
the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of Securities, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably
require of the names and addresses of Holders of such series, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). 
  

	SECTION 2.08	Transfer and Exchange. 

 Except as set forth in Section 2.17 or as may be provided
pursuant to Section 2.01: 
 When Securities of any series are presented to the Registrar with the request to register the transfer of
such Securities or to exchange such Securities for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same series of like tenor and of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its
requirements and the requirements of this Indenture for such transactions are met; provided, however, that the Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instruction of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing, on which instruction the Registrar can rely. 

To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute Securities (and if applicable, each Subsidiary Guarantor with
respect to such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee for such series) and the Trustee shall authenticate such Securities at the Registrar’s written request and submission of the Securities or Global Securities. No service charge shall
be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), 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 such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.12, 3.07 or 9.05). The Trustee shall authenticate Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of (a) any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article III, except the
unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any Security during the period beginning 15 Business Days prior to the mailing of notice of any offer to repurchase Securities of the series required pursuant to the terms
thereof or of redemption of Securities of a series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing. 

  
 15 

	SECTION 2.09	Replacement Securities. 

 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or if
the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been destroyed, lost or stolen and the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security, the Company shall issue, each Subsidiary
Guarantor with respect to such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee relating to such Security, if any, and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same series if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. If required by the Trustee, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the
Company, such Holder must furnish an indemnity bond that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss that any of
them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge a Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security. 

Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company. 

 

	SECTION 2.10	Outstanding Securities. 

 The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by the Trustee hereunder and those described in this Section 2.10 as not
outstanding. 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof
satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Security is considered
paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 A Security does not cease to be
outstanding because the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor holds the Security. 
  

	SECTION 2.11	Original Issue Discount, Foreign-Currency Denominated and Treasury Securities. 

 In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, (a) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security shall be the principal
amount thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof 

  
 16 

 
pursuant to Section 6.02, (b) the principal amount of a Security denominated in a foreign currency shall be the Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Company by reference to the noon
buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for such currency, as such rate is certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Exchange Rate”) on the date of original issuance of such Security, of
the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Company by reference to the Exchange Rate on the date of original issuance of such Security, of the amount determined as
provided in (a) above), of such Security and (c) Securities owned by the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company, of a Subsidiary Guarantor or of such other obligor shall be
disregarded, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows
are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
  

	SECTION 2.12	Temporary Securities. 

 Until definitive Securities of any series are ready for delivery,
the Company may prepare and execute temporary Securities, each Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee relating to such temporary Securities, if any, and the Trustee shall authenticate such temporary
Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities, but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and execute
definitive Securities, each Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee relating to such definitive Securities, if any, and the Trustee shall authenticate such definitive Securities in exchange for
temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities. 
  

	SECTION 2.13	Cancellation. 

 The Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor at any time may deliver
Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or redemption or for credit against any sinking fund
payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, redemption, replacement or cancellation or for credit against any sinking fund. Unless the Company shall direct in writing that canceled
Securities be returned to it, after written notice to the Company all canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the usual disposal procedures of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall maintain a record of their
disposal. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that have been paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

  
 17 

	SECTION 2.14	Payments; Defaulted Interest. 

 Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by
Section 2.01, interest (except defaulted interest) on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Persons who are registered Holders of that Security at the close
of business on the record date next preceding such Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender a Security to a Paying Agent to collect
principal payments. Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of any series, the Company will pay the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities in Dollars. Such amounts
shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee or any Paying Agent, provided that at the option of the Company, the Company may pay such amounts (1) by wire transfer with respect to Global Securities or (2) by check payable in such
money mailed to a Holder’s registered address with respect to any Securities. 
 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on
the Securities of any series, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities of such series and in
Section 4.01. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. At least 15 days before any special record date selected by the Company, the Company (or the Trustee, in the name of
and at the expense of the Company upon 20 days’ prior written notice from the Company setting forth such special record date and the interest amount to be paid) shall mail to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related
payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
  

	SECTION 2.15	Persons Deemed Owners. 

 The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, any Agent
and any authenticating agent may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to
such Security and for all other purposes. None of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

 

	SECTION 2.16	Computation of Interest. 

 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year comprising twelve 30-day months.

	SECTION 2.17	Global Securities; Book-Entry Provisions. 

 If Securities of a series are issuable in
global form as a Global Security, as contemplated by Section 2.01, then, notwithstanding clause (11) of Section 2.01 and the provisions of Section 2.02, any such Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities
of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may
from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, transfers or redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of outstanding Securities represented
thereby shall be made by the Trustee (i) in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in such Security or in a Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04 or
(ii) otherwise in accordance with written instructions or such other written form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary for such Security, from such Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in
such Global Security. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04 and, if applicable, Section 2.12, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or
Persons specified in such Security or in the applicable Company Order. With respect to the Securities of any series that are represented by a Global Security, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors authorize the execution and delivery by the
Trustee of a letter of representations or other similar agreement or instrument in the form customarily provided for by the Depositary appointed with respect to such Global Security. Any Global Security may be deposited with the Depositary or its
nominee, or may remain in the custody of the Trustee or the Security Custodian therefor pursuant to a FAST Balance Certificate Agreement or similar agreement between the Trustee and the Depositary. If a Company Order has been, or simultaneously is,
delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. 

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any
Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee or the Security Custodian as its custodian, or under such Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security
Custodian and any agent of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security Custodian as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the registered holder of a
Global Security of a series may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder of Securities of such series is entitled to take
under this Indenture or the Securities of such series and (ii) nothing herein shall prevent the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security Custodian, or any agent of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or the
Security Custodian, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Security. 

  
 19 

 Notwithstanding Section 2.08, and except as otherwise provided pursuant to
Section 2.01, transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Security
may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary. Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security if, and only if, either (1) the
Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Security and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with
respect to such series and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue Securities in lieu of all or a portion of the Global Security (in which case the Company shall deliver Securities within 30 days of such
request) or (3) the Company in its sole discretion determines not to have the Securities represented by a Global Security. 
 In
connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount
of the Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interests in the Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, each Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series shall execute the Notation
of Guarantee relating to such Global Security, if any, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Securities shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Securities of the same series of like tenor and
amount. 
 In connection with the transfer of all of the beneficial interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this
Section 2.17, the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, each Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee relating to such
Global Security, if any, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interests in the Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Securities of
authorized denominations. 
 None of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any
aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, Securities by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to such Securities. None of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay by the Holder of the Global Security or the Depositary in identifying the beneficial owners, and each such Person may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, instructions from such Holder
of the Global Security or the Depositary for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Securities to be issued). 

The provisions of the last sentence of the third paragraph of Section 2.04 shall apply to any Global Security if such Global Security was
never issued and sold by the Company and the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor delivers to the Trustee the Global Security together 

  
 20 

 
with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the cancellation or reduction in the principal amount
of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of the third paragraph of Section 2.04. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.03 and 2.14, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, payment of
principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Global Security shall be made to the Depositary. 

The Company in issuing Securities of any series may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of Securities of such series; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities of
such series or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities of such series, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission
of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
 Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, delivery or surrender of a Security shall not be required in the case of Global Securities in order to obtain the rights or benefits provided hereunder upon the delivery or surrender of a Security. 

ARTICLE III 
 REDEMPTION 

 

	SECTION 3.01	Applicability of Article. 

 Securities of any series that are redeemable before their
Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article III. 

 

	SECTION 3.02	Notice to the Trustee. 

 If the Company elects to redeem Securities of any series
pursuant to this Indenture, it shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. The Company shall so notify the Trustee at least 45 days before the Redemption Date (unless a
shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) by delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the provisions of this Indenture and of the Securities of such series. Any such notice may
be canceled at any time prior to the mailing of such notice of such redemption to any Holder and shall thereupon be void and of no effect. 

  
 21 

	SECTION 3.03	Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed. 

 If less than all of the Securities of any
series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities of such series of a specified tenor are to be redeemed), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the
outstanding Securities of such series (and tenor) not previously called for redemption, either pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem appropriate in accordance with industry standards at the time of such redemption and
that may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger
than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or of the principal amount of Global Securities of such series; provided that, if at the time of redemption such Securities are registered as a Global Security, the
Depositary shall determine, in accordance with its procedures, the principal amount of such Securities held by each beneficial owner of Securities to be redeemed. 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Registrar in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any
Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 For purposes of this Indenture, unless the
context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any of the Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been or is to be
redeemed. 
  

	SECTION 3.04	Notice of Redemption. 

 Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, mailed not less than 30 days (or not less than 15 days in the case of convertible Securities) nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at the address of such Holder appearing in
the register of Securities maintained by the Registrar. 
 All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall
state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date; 

(2) the Redemption Price (or the method of calculating or determining the Redemption Price); 

(3) that, unless the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors default in making the redemption payment, interest on Securities
called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities is to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities redeemed; 

  
 22 

 (4) if any Security is to be redeemed in part, the portion of the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed and that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender for cancellation of such Security to the Paying Agent, a new Security or Securities in the aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof
will be issued without charge to the Holder; 
 (5) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying
Agent to collect the Redemption Price and the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
 (6) that the redemption is for a
sinking or analogous fund, if such is the case; 
 (7) if such Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for capital
stock, other debt securities (including Securities), warrants, other equity securities or any other securities or property of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, the name and address of the conversion or exchange agent, the
date on which the right to convert or exchange is terminated and the conversion or exchange rate; and 
 (8) the CUSIP
number, if any, relating to such Securities. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be
given by the Company or, at the Company’s written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 
  

	SECTION 3.05	Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

 Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called
for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price, but interest installments whose maturity is on
or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable on the relevant Interest Payment Dates to the Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record dates specified pursuant to Section 2.01. 

 

	SECTION 3.06	Deposit of Redemption Price. 

 By 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date,
the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.06) an amount of money
in same day funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities or portions thereof which are to be
redeemed on that date, other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee for cancellation. 

  
 23 

 If the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor complies with the preceding paragraph, then, unless the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors default in the payment of such Redemption Price, interest on the Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Securities are presented for
payment, and the Holders of such Securities shall have no further rights with respect to such Securities except for the right to receive the Redemption Price upon surrender of such Securities. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so
paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal, premium, if any, any Additional Amounts, and, to the extent lawful, accrued interest thereon shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate specified pursuant to
Section 2.01 or provided in the Securities or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such Securities’ yield to maturity. 
  

	SECTION 3.07	Securities Redeemed in Part. 

 Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Security to be
redeemed in part, the Company shall execute, each Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee relating to such Security, if any, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such
Security without service charge a new Security or Securities, of the same series and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Security so surrendered that is not redeemed. 
  

	SECTION 3.08	Purchase of Securities. 

 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.01, the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor and any Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor may at any time purchase or otherwise acquire Securities in the open market or by private agreement. Any such acquisition shall not
operate as or be deemed for any purpose to be a redemption of the indebtedness represented by such Securities. Any Securities purchased or acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor may be delivered to the Trustee and, upon such delivery, the
indebtedness represented thereby shall be deemed to be satisfied. Section 2.13 shall apply to all Securities so delivered. 
  

	SECTION 3.09	Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. 

 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment
provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to
as an “optional sinking fund payment.” Unless otherwise provided by the 

  
 24 

 
terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.10. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series and by this Article III. 
  

	SECTION 3.10	Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

 The Company or a Subsidiary
Guarantor may deliver outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and may apply as a credit Securities of a series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such
Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series
required to be made pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities; provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price
specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
  

	SECTION 3.11	Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

 Not less than 45 days prior (unless a
shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate of the Company specifying the amount of the next ensuing
sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivery of or by crediting Securities
of that series pursuant to Section 3.10 and will also deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Failure of the Company to timely deliver or cause to be delivered such Officers’ Certificate and
Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute the election of the Company (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date
shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Company will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section.

 If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment
date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof based on the applicable Exchange Rate on the date of original issue of the applicable Securities) or a lesser
sum if the Company shall so request with respect to the Securities of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption
price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof as aforesaid) or less and the Company makes no such request then it

  
 25 

 
shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof as aforesaid) is available. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date, the
Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.03 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner
provided in Section 3.04. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.05, 3.06 and 3.07. 

ARTICLE IV 
 COVENANTS 

 

	SECTION 4.01	Payment of Securities. 

 The Company shall pay the principal of, premium (if any) and
interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of each series on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities of such series and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, interest and any Additional Amounts shall be
considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Subsidiary) holds by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that date money deposited by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor designated for and
sufficient to pay all principal, premium, interest and any Additional Amounts then due. 
 The Company shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium (if any), at a rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Securities to the extent lawful; and it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and any Additional Amount (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 each Place of Payment for
any series of Securities an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent) where Securities of that series may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange, where Securities of that series may be
presented for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. Unless otherwise designated by the Company by written notice to the
Trustee and the Subsidiary Guarantors, such office or agency shall be the office of the Trustee in The City of New York, which on the date hereof is located at
                                        , New
York, New York                     . The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Subsidiary Guarantors of the location, and
any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee and the Subsidiary Guarantors with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

  
 26 

 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the
Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series 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. 
  

	SECTION 4.03	SEC Reports; Financial Statements. 

 (a) If the Company is subject to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after it files the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the
foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. If this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, but not otherwise, the Company
shall also comply with the provisions of TIA § 314(a). 
 (b) If the Company is not subject to the requirements of Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall furnish to all Holders of Rule 144A Securities and prospective purchasers of Rule 144A Securities designated by the Holders of Rule 144A Securities, promptly upon their request, the
information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Company intends to file the reports, information and documents referred to in Section 4.03(a) hereof with the SEC in electronic form pursuant to Regulation S-T promulgated by the SEC using the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and
Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system. The Company shall notify the Trustee in the manner prescribed herein of each such filing. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to access the EDGAR system for purposes of retrieving the reports so filed.
Compliance with the foregoing shall constitute delivery by the Company of such reports to the Trustee in compliance with the provisions of TIA § 314(a). The Trustee shall have no duty to search for or obtain any electronic or other filings that
the Company makes with the SEC, regardless of whether such filings are periodic, supplemental or otherwise. Delivery of the reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be solely for the purposes of
compliance with this Section 4.03 and with TIA § 314(a). The Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information and documents shall not constitute notice to it of the content thereof or of any matter determinable from the content thereof,
including the Company’s and any Subsidiary Guarantor’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder, as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely upon Officers’ Certificates. 

 

	SECTION 4.04	Compliance Certificate. 

 (a) Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall
deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company and the Subsidiary 

  
 27 

 
Guarantors, a statement signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be,
which need not constitute an Officers’ Certificate, complying with TIA § 314(a)(4) and stating that in the course of performance by the signing Officer of his duties as such Officer of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as
the case may be, he would normally obtain knowledge of the keeping, observing, performing and fulfilling by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, of its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating that to the best
of his knowledge the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture 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 shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which such Officer may have knowledge and what action the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor,
as the case may be, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto). 
 (b) The Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall, so long as
Securities of any series are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, as soon as practicable, but in no event more than five Business Days, after any Officer of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, becoming aware of any Default
or Event of Default under this Indenture, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

  

	SECTION 4.05	Corporate or Other Existence. 

 Subject to Article V, the Company shall do or cause to be
done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence. This Section 4.05 shall not prohibit or restrict the Company from converting into a different form of legal entity. 

 

	SECTION 4.06	Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. 

 Each of the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that
would prohibit or forgive it from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of
this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not 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. 

  
 28 

	SECTION 4.07	Additional Amounts. 

 If the Securities of a series expressly provide for the payment of
Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series Additional Amounts as expressly provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or
interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or the net proceeds received from the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this
Section 4.07 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.07 and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable)
in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

disposition shall be made (collectively, the “Successor”), is organized or existing under the laws of the United States of America, any political subdivision thereof or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and expressly assumes
by supplemental indenture, in the case of the Company, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to all the Securities and the performance of the Company’s
covenants and obligations under this Indenture and the Securities, or, in the case of such Subsidiary Guarantor, the performance of the Guarantee and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s covenants and obligations under this Indenture and the Securities;

 Upon any consolidation or merger of the Company or a
Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, or any sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.01, the

exercise every right and power of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, under this Indenture and the Securities with the same effect as if such Successor had been named as the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case
may be, herein, and the predecessor Company or Subsidiary Guarantor, in the case of a sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition, shall be released from all obligations under this Indenture, the Securities and, in the case of a

	SECTION 6.01	Events of Default. 

 Unless either inapplicable to a particular series or specifically
deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution establishing such series of Securities or in the form of Security for such series, an “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities
of any series, occurs if: 
 (1) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to
any Security of that series when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

(3) the Company defaults in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security of that series,
and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (4) the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such
series fails to comply with any of its other covenants or agreements in, or provisions of, the Securities of such series or this Indenture (other than an agreement, covenant or 

  
 30 

 
provision that has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than that series) which shall not have been remedied within the
specified period after written notice, as specified in the last paragraph of this Section 6.01; 
 (5) the Company or
any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series that is a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(A) commences a voluntary case, 

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

(C) consents to the appointment of a Bankruptcy Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or 

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 

(6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that remains unstayed and in effect
for 90 days and that: 
 (A) is for relief against the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series that
is a Significant Subsidiary as debtor in an involuntary case, 
 (B) appoints a Bankruptcy Custodian of the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series that is a Significant Subsidiary or a Bankruptcy Custodian for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series that is a Significant

 (7) any Guarantee of any of the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to such series that is a
Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect with respect to Securities of that series (except as otherwise provided in this Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding, or any such Subsidiary Guarantor denies or
disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or such Guarantee; or 
 (8) any other Event of Default provided with respect
to Securities of that series occurs. 
 The term “Bankruptcy Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or
similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 

  
 31 

 The Trustee shall not be deemed to know or have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless
a trust officer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee receives written notice at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee of such Default or Event of Default with specific reference to such Default or Event of Default. 

When a Default or Event of Default is cured, it ceases. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, if the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts
with respect to any Security is payable in a currency or currencies (including a composite currency) other than Dollars and such currency or currencies are not available to the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor for making payment thereof due to the
imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Conversion Event”), each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to
Holders of the Securities by making such payment in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar equivalent of the amount payable in such other currency, as determined by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, by reference to the
Exchange Rate on the date of such payment, or, if such rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, any payment made under such
circumstances in Dollars where the required payment is in a currency other than Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture. 

Promptly after the occurrence of a Conversion Event, the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee;
and the Trustee, promptly after receipt of such notice, shall give notice thereof in the manner provided in Section 11.02 to the Holders. Promptly after the making of any payment in Dollars as a result of a Conversion Event, the Company or the
Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall give notice in the manner provided in Section 11.02 to the Holders, setting forth the applicable Exchange Rate and describing the calculation of such payments. 

A Default under clause (4) or (8) of this Section 6.01 is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company and
the Subsidiary Guarantors, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the series affected by such Default (or, in the case of a Default under clause (4) of this Section 6.01, if outstanding
Securities of other series are affected by such Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities so affected) notify the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, of the Default, and the Company or the
applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, fails to cure the Default within 90 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.”

  

	SECTION 6.02	Acceleration. 

 If an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any
series at the time outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, or the

  
 32 

 
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the series affected by such Event of Default (or, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (4)
of Section 6.01, if outstanding Securities of other series are affected by such Event of Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities so affected) by notice to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the
Trustee, may declare the principal of (or, if any such Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and all accrued and unpaid interest on all then
outstanding Securities of such series or of all series, as the case may be, to be due and payable. Upon any such declaration, the amounts due and payable on the Securities shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in
clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, such amounts shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the series affected by such Event of Default or all series so affected, as the case may be, by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences (other
than nonpayment of principal of or premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities) if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) all existing Events of Default with respect to
Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be) have been cured or waived, except nonpayment of principal, premium, interest or any Additional Amounts that has become due solely because of the acceleration, and (iii) the
Trustee has been paid any amounts 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 7.07. 

 

	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, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A
delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to
the extent permitted by law. 
  

	SECTION 6.04	Waiver of Defaults. 

 Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series or of all series affected thereby (acting as one class) by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to such series or all series so
affected, as the case may be, and its consequences (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Securities of such series or all series so affected or a solicitation of consents in respect of Securities of such

  
 33 

 
series or all series so affected, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of then outstanding Securities of such series or all series so affected (but
the terms of such offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)), except (1) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any
Security or (2) a continued Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended or supplemented without the consent of each Holder affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

 

	SECTION 6.05	Control by Majority. 

 With respect to Securities of any series, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series may direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it
relating to or arising under an Event of Default described in clause (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Section 6.01, and with respect to all Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Securities
affected may direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it not relating to or arising under such an Event of Default. However, the
Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with applicable law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability;
provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to security or indemnification
satisfactory to it in its sole discretion from Holders directing the Trustee against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
  

	SECTION 6.06	Limitations on Suits. 

 Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, a Holder of a Security of
any series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such series or the related Guarantees, if any, only if: 

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to such series; 

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series make a written request to
the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to
the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 

  
 34 

 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of
the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities of such series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 
 A Holder may not use
this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 
  

	SECTION 6.07	Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security, or to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 

 

	SECTION 6.08	Collection Suit by Trustee. 

 If an Event of Default specified in clause (1) or
(2) of Section 6.01 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 or a Subsidiary Guarantor for the amount of principal, premium (if
any), interest and any Additional Amounts remaining unpaid on the Securities of the series affected by the Event of Default, and interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue 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 and to take such actions, including participating as a member, voting or otherwise, of any committee of creditors, as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor or their respective creditors or properties
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 Bankruptcy 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 

  
 35 

 
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 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 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 which the Holders of the Securities 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 Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, 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 VI, it shall pay
out the money in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; 

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has
been collected, for principal, premium (if any), interest and any Additional Amounts ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium (if any), interest and any
Additional Amounts, respectively; and 
 Third: to the Company. 

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix record dates and payment dates for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Article VI. 
 To the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, if for the purpose of obtaining a judgment against the Company or a
Subsidiary Guarantor in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of any series (the “Required Currency”) into a
currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used for purposes of rendering the judgment shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in
The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the Business Day in The City of New York next preceding that on which final judgment is given. None of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee shall be liable for
any shortfall nor shall it benefit from any windfall in payments to Holders of Securities under this Section 6.10 caused by a change in exchange rates between the time the amount of a judgment against it is calculated as above and the time the
Trustee converts the Judgment Currency into the Required Currency to make payments under this Section 6.10 to Holders of Securities, but payment of such judgment shall discharge all amounts owed by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on
the claim or claims underlying such judgment. 

  
 36 

	SECTION 6.11	Undertaking for Costs. 

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

ARTICLE VII 
 TRUSTEE 

 

	SECTION 7.01	Duties of Trustee. 

 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in such exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s
own affairs. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series: 

(1) the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its
part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However,
the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether, on their face, they appear to conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 7.01(b); 

  
 37 

 (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith
by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (3)
the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05. 

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to the
provisions of this Section 7.01. 
 (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
incur any liability. The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company and
the Subsidiary Guarantors. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. All money received by the Trustee shall, until applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the payment
of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities. 
  

	SECTION 7.02	Rights of Trustee. 

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

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require instruction, an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or
both to be provided. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such instruction, Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult at the Company’s expense with
counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

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

 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within
its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 

  
 38 

 (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or
notice from the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be. 

(f) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities, unless either
(1) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or by any
Holder of the Securities, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. 
 (g) The permissive rights of the Trustee
enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties. 
  

	SECTION 7.03	May Hold Securities. 

 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.
However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
  

	SECTION 7.04	Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

 The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities or any money paid to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or upon the Company’s or such Subsidiary
Guarantor’s direction under any provision hereof, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any
statement in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication. 
  

	SECTION 7.05	Notice of Defaults. 

 If a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
any series occurs and is continuing and it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Securities of such series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event
of Default in payment of principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and Additional Amounts or any sinking fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, 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 Holders of Securities of such series. 

  
 39 

	SECTION 7.06	Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

 Within 60 days after each June 15 of each year
after the execution of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of a series, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Company a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a); provided, however, that
if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date with respect to a series, no report need be transmitted to Holders of such series. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA
§ 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports if and as required by TIA §§ 313(c) and 313(d). 
 A
copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders of a series of Securities shall be filed by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor with the SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities of such series are listed. The
Company shall notify the Trustee if and when any series of Securities is listed on any securities exchange. 
  

	SECTION 7.07	Compensation and Indemnity. 

 The Company agrees to pay to the Trustee for its acceptance
of this Indenture and services hereunder such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The
Company agrees to reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and
counsel. 
 The Company hereby indemnifies the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or
expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, except as set
forth in the next following paragraph. The Trustee shall notify the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The
Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent. 

The Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through the
Trustee’s negligence or bad faith. 
 To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall
have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of any series. Such
lien and the Company’s obligations under this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

  
 40 

 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(5) or (6) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  

	SECTION 7.08	Replacement of Trustee. 

 A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 

The Trustee may resign and be discharged at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by so notifying the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by so notifying the Trustee, the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

(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 Bankruptcy Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, with respect to the Securities of one or
more series, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or
more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series). Within one year after the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series takes office, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 

If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series does not take office within 30 days after the retiring or removed Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring or removed Trustee (at the expense of the Company), the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series may petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 If the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of a series fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Securities of such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series. 

  
 41 

 In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, each such
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee, to the Company and to the Subsidiary Guarantors. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07. 
 In case of the appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series shall execute and
deliver an indenture supplemental hereto in which each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and that (1) shall confer to each successor Trustee all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities
of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall confirm that all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary
to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee. Nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust,
and each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee. Upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. On request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall transfer to such successor Trustee all property held by such retiring Trustee as Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. Such retiring Trustee shall, however, have the right to deduct its unpaid fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees. 

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee or Trustees pursuant to this Section 7.08, the obligations of the Company under
Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or Trustees. 
  

	SECTION 7.09	Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

 Subject to Section 7.10, if the Trustee
consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that in
the case of a transfer of all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to another corporation, the transferee corporation expressly assumes all of the Trustee’s liabilities hereunder. 

  
 42 

 In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in
office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated,
any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in
the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 
  

	SECTION 8.01	Termination of the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations. 

 (a)
This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Securities of a series (except that the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07, the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations under Section 8.03 and the
rights, powers, protections and privileges accorded the Trustee under Article VII shall survive), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect
to the Securities of such series, when: 
 (1) either: 

(A) all outstanding Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and issued (other than destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities that have been replaced or paid) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (B) all outstanding
Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation: 
  

	 	(i)	have become due and payable, or 

  

	 	(ii)	will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 

  

	 	(iii)	are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 

and, in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as funds (immediately available to the Holders in the case of clause (i)) in trust for such purpose (x) money in the currency in which payment of the Securities of such series is to be made in an amount, or
(y) Government Obligations with respect to such series, maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such amounts as will ensure the availability of money in the currency in which payment of the Securities of such series is to be
made in an amount or (z) a combination thereof, which will be sufficient, in the opinion (in the case of clauses (y) and (z)) of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Securities of such series for principal and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or for principal, premium,
if any, and interest to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; or 
 (C) the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors have properly fulfilled such other means of satisfaction and discharge as is specified, as contemplated by Section 2.01, to be applicable to the Securities of such series; 

(2) the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by them hereunder with respect
to the Securities of such series; and 

  
 44 

 (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series have been complied with, together with an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect. 

(b) Unless this Section 8.01(b) is specified as not being applicable to Securities of a series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the
Company may, at its option, terminate certain of its and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ respective obligations under this Indenture (“covenant defeasance”) with respect to the Securities of a series if: 

(1) the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as
trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for and dedicated solely to the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series, (i) money in the currency in which payment of the
Securities of such series is to be made in an amount, or (ii) Government Obligations with respect to such series, maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such amounts as will ensure the availability of money in the currency
in which payment of the Securities of such series is to be made in an amount or (iii) a combination thereof, that is sufficient, in the opinion (in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii)) of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay the principal of and premium (if any) and interest on all Securities of such series on each date that such principal, premium (if any) or interest is due and
payable and (at the Stated Maturity thereof or upon redemption as provided in Section 8.01(e)) to pay all other sums payable by it hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money and/or the
proceeds of such Government Obligations to the payment of said principal, premium (if any) and interest with respect to the Securities of such series as the same shall become due; 

(2) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect; 

(3) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the
date of such deposit; 
 (4) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally
recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee or a private letter ruling issued by the United States Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a
result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 8.01(b) and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option
had not been exercised; 

  
 45 

 (5) the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors have complied with any additional
conditions specified pursuant to Section 2.01 to be applicable to the discharge of Securities of such series pursuant to this Section 8.01; and 

(6) such deposit and discharge shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest as defined in TIA § 310(b). 

In such event, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as set forth in this paragraph), and the Trustee, on demand of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge under this Indenture. However, the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ respective obligations in Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 4.01, 4.02,
7.07, 7.08, 8.04 and 10.01, the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations in Section 8.03 and the rights, powers, protections and privileges accorded the Trustee under Article VII shall survive until all Securities of such series are
no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the Company’s obligations in Section 7.07 and the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations in Section 8.03 shall survive with respect to Securities of such series. 

After such irrevocable deposit made pursuant to this Section 8.01(b) and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth herein, the
Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series except for those surviving obligations specified
above. 
 In order to have money available on a payment date to pay principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the Securities, the
Government Obligations shall be payable as to principal or interest on or before such payment date in such amounts as will provide the necessary money. Government Obligations shall not be callable at the issuer’s option. 

(c) If the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors have previously complied or are concurrently complying with Section 8.01(b) (other than
any additional conditions specified pursuant to Section 2.01 that are expressly applicable only to covenant defeasance) with respect to Securities of a series, then, unless this Section 8.01(c) is specified as not being applicable to
Securities of such series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the Company may elect that its and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ respective obligations to make payments with respect to Securities of such series be discharged (“legal
defeasance”), if: 
 (1) no Default or Event of Default under clauses (5) and (6) of Section 6.01 hereof
shall have occurred at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit contemplated by Section 8.01(b) (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period); 

(2) unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of such series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the Company has
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the effect referred to in Section 8.01(b)(4) with respect to such legal defeasance, which opinion is based on (i) a private
letter ruling issued by the United States Internal Revenue Service addressed to the Company, (ii) a published ruling of the United States Internal Revenue Service pertaining to a comparable form of transaction or (iii) a change in the
applicable United States Federal income tax law (including regulations) after the date of this Indenture; 

  
 46 

 (3) the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors have complied with any other
conditions specified pursuant to Section 2.01 to be applicable to the legal defeasance of Securities of such series pursuant to this Section 8.01(c); and 

(4) the Company has delivered to the Trustee a Company Request requesting such legal defeasance of the Securities of such
series and an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such legal defeasance of the Securities of such series have been complied with, together with an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect. 

In such event, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will be discharged from their respective obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities of such series to pay principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series, the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ respective obligations under Sections 4.01,
4.02 and 10.01 shall terminate with respect to such Securities, and the entire indebtedness of the Company evidenced by such Securities and of the Subsidiary Guarantors evidenced by the related Guarantees, if any, shall be deemed paid and
discharged. 
 (d) If and to the extent additional or alternative means of satisfaction, discharge or defeasance of Securities of a series
are specified to be applicable to such series as contemplated by Section 2.01, each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may terminate any or all of its obligations under this Indenture with respect to Securities of a series and any or
all of its obligations under the Securities of such series if it fulfills such other means of satisfaction and discharge as may be so specified, as contemplated by Section 2.01, to be applicable to the Securities of such series. 

(e) If Securities of any series subject to subsection (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 8.01 are to be redeemed prior to
their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in accordance with any mandatory or optional sinking fund provisions, the terms of the applicable trust arrangement shall provide for such redemption, and the Company
shall make such arrangements as are reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company. 

 

	SECTION 8.02	Application of Trust Money. 

 The Trustee or a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Company shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this
Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of the series with respect to which the deposit was made. 

  
 47 

	SECTION 8.03	Repayment to Company or Subsidiary Guarantor. 

 The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall
promptly pay to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor any excess money or Government Obligations (or proceeds therefrom) held by them at any time upon the written request of the Company. 

Subject to the requirements of any applicable abandoned property laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written
request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium (if any), interest or any Additional Amounts that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due. After payment to the Company,
Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to such money shall
cease. 
  

	SECTION 8.04	Reinstatement. 

 If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
Government Obligations deposited with respect to Securities of any series in accordance with Section 8.01 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 obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series and under the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though
no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however, that if the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has made any payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or such Subsidiary
Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE IX 
 SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURES AND AMENDMENTS 
  

	SECTION 9.01	Without Consent of Holders. 

 The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may
amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities or waive any provision hereof or thereof without the consent of any Holder: 

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

  
 48 

 (2) to comply with Section 5.01; 

(3) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities, or to provide for the
issuance of bearer Securities (with or without coupons); 
 (4) to provide any security for, or to add any guarantees of or
additional obligors on, any series of Securities or the related Guarantees, if any; 
 (5) to comply with any requirement in
order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; 
 (6) to add to the covenants of the Company
or any Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for
the benefit of such series), or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor; 

(7) to add any additional Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Securities (and, if any such Event of
Default is applicable to less than all series of Securities, specifying the series to which such Event of Default is applicable); 

(8) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture; provided that any such change or elimination shall
become effective only when there is no outstanding Security of any series created prior to the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture that is adversely affected in any material respect by such change in or elimination of such
provision; 
 (9) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Section 2.01; 

(10) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the

in any material respect; or 
 (11) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee,
pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.08. 
 Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution, and upon receipt
by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.06, join with the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms
of this Indenture and make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained. 

  
 49 

	SECTION 9.02	With Consent of Holders. 

 Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture with the consent (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Securities of any one or more series or all series or a
solicitation of consents in respect of Securities of any one or more series or all series, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of then outstanding Securities of each such series (but the terms of such
offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)) of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of all series affected by such amendment or supplement (acting as one class). 

Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the
Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.06, join with the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of such amendment or
supplemental indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular
form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of one or more series or of all series (acting as one class) may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor with any provision of
this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Securities of such series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Securities of such series,
provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of then outstanding Securities of such series (but the terms of such offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)). 

However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not: 

(1) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

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

(3) reduce the principal of, any premium on or any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to, or change the Stated
Maturity of, any Security or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02; 

  
 50 

 (4) reduce the premium, if any, payable upon the redemption of any Security or
change the time at which any Security may or shall be redeemed; 
 (5) change any obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any Security; 
 (6) change the coin or currency or currencies (including
composite currencies) in which any Security or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts with respect thereto are payable; 

(7) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or
any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security pursuant to Sections 6.07 and 6.08, except as limited by Section 6.06; 

(8) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of Securities necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions
of this Indenture pursuant to Section 6.04 or 6.07 or make any change in this sentence of Section 9.02; 
 (9)
waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities; 

(10) except as provided in Section 10.04, release any Subsidiary Guarantor or modify the related Guarantee in any manner
materially adverse to the Holders; or 
 (11) if applicable, make any change that materially and adversely affects the right
to convert any Security. 
 A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has
expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect
the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
 The right of any Holder to participate in any consent
required or sought pursuant to any provision of this Indenture (and the obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall
have been the Holder of record of any Securities with respect to which such consent is required or sought as of a date identified by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor in a notice furnished to Holders in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders
of each Security affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
amendment, supplement or waiver. 

  
 51 

	SECTION 9.03	Compliance with the Trust Indenture Act. 

 Every amendment or supplement to this
Indenture or the Securities shall comply in form and substance with the TIA as then in effect. 
  

	SECTION 9.04	Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is
not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his or her Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before a date and time therefor identified by the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in a notice furnished to such Holder in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or, if no such date and time shall be identified, 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. 
 The Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date (which need not comply with TIA § 316(c)) for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver or to take any other action
under this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be
entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such
record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of Securities required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in any of clauses
(1) through (9) of Section 9.02 hereof. In such case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s
Security. 
  

	SECTION 9.05	Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 

 If an amendment or supplement changes the terms
of an outstanding Security, the Company may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security at the request of the Company regarding the changed terms and return it to the
Holder. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue, each Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to 

  
 52 

 
such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee relating to such Security, if any, and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the
appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment or supplement. 
 Securities of any series
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any amendment or supplement may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such amendment or supplement. 

 

	SECTION 9.06	Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

 The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement
authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such
amendment or supplement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the documents required by Section 11.04, and, subject to Section 7.01 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel provided at the
expense of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor to the effect that such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 

ARTICLE X 
 GUARANTEE 

 

	SECTION 10.01	Guarantee. 

 (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article X to the contrary, the
provisions of this Article X relating to the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be applicable only to, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Securities of any series designated, pursuant to Section 2.01, as entitled to the benefits of the related
Guarantee of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. 
 (b) For value received, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby fully, unconditionally
and absolutely guarantees (each, a “Guarantee”) to the Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and all other amounts due and payable under this
Indenture and the Securities by the Company, when and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the
terms of the Securities and this Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.03. 
 (c) Failing payment when due of
any amount guaranteed pursuant to the related Guarantee, for whatever reason, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each of the Guarantees hereunder is intended to be a general,
unsecured, unsubordinated obligation of the related Subsidiary Guarantor and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee.
Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be full, unconditional and absolute, 

  
 53 

 
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities, its Guarantee, the Guarantee of any other Subsidiary Guarantor or this Indenture, the absence of any action to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any,
or interest on the Securities of such series, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to
Section 6.06, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against such Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce such Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor. 

(d) The obligations of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Article X shall be as aforesaid full, unconditional and absolute and shall
not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension, indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any
of the obligations and liabilities of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors contained in the Securities or this Indenture, (ii) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of the liability of the Company, any of the Subsidiary
Guarantors or any of their estates in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any applicable Bankruptcy Law, as amended, or other statute or from the decision of any
court, (iii) the assertion or exercise by the Company, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Trustee of any rights or remedies under the Securities or this Indenture or their delay in or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or
remedies, (iv) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for the Securities, including all or any part of the rights of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture, (v) the extension of
the time for payment by the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of the terms and provisions of the Securities or this Indenture or of the time for performance by
the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal of any thereof, (vi) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of
any duty, agreement or obligation of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors set forth in this Indenture, (vii) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets,
marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Company or any of the
Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of the Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture in any such proceeding, (viii) the release or discharge of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors from the
performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (ix) the unenforceability of the Securities of such series, the related Guarantees or this Indenture or
(x) any other circumstances (other than payment in full or discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the related Guarantees) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. 

  
 54 

 (e) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby (i) waives diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of the merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and all demands whatsoever, (ii) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing
its Guarantee may be transferred and that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing its Guarantee without notice to it and (iii) covenants that its Guarantee will
not be discharged except by complete performance of such Guarantee. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to its Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or
returned for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, such Guarantee shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or
returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and such Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made. 

(f) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders and the Trustee against the Company in respect of any
amounts paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Subsidiary Guarantor, shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right
of subrogation until all of the Securities of such series and the related Guarantees shall have been paid in full or discharged. 
  

	SECTION 10.02	Execution and Delivery of Guarantees. 

 To further evidence its Guarantee set forth in
Section 10.01, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that a notation relating to such Guarantee (the “Notation of Guarantee”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A, shall be endorsed on each Security of the
series entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, which Notation of Guarantee shall be executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor. Each of the Subsidiary
Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security the Notation of Guarantee relating to such Guarantee. If any Officer of such
Subsidiary Guarantor, whose signature is on this Indenture or the Notation of Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Security or at any time thereafter, the Guarantee of such Security shall be valid
nevertheless. The delivery of any Security of a series entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee under this Article X by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this
Indenture on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor. 

  
 55 

	SECTION 10.03	Limitation on Liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors. 

 Each Subsidiary Guarantor and by
its acceptance hereof each Holder of a Security of a series entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee under this Article X hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its
Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders of a Security entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby
irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and to any
collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee not
constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. 
  

	SECTION 10.04	Release of Subsidiary Guarantors from Guarantee. 

 (a) Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Indenture, the Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor may be released upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 10.04. Provided that no Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under
this Indenture, any Guarantee incurred by a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Article X shall be unconditionally released and discharged (i) automatically upon (A) any sale, exchange or transfer, whether by way of merger or otherwise,
to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, of all of the Company’s direct or indirect equity interests in such Subsidiary Guarantor (provided such sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture) or
(B) the merger of such Subsidiary Guarantor into the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or the liquidation and dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case to the extent not prohibited by this Indenture) or (ii) following
delivery of a written notice of such release or discharge by the Company to the Trustee, upon the release or discharge of all guarantees by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Debt of the Company other than obligations arising under this Indenture and
any Securities issued hereunder, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantees. 
 (b) The Trustee shall
deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee upon receipt of a written request of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that the Subsidiary
Guarantor is entitled to such release in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. If the Subsidiary Guarantor is not so released it shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the
Securities entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee as provided in this Indenture, subject to the limitations of Section 10.03. 
  

	SECTION 10.05	Contribution. 

 In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the
Subsidiary Guarantors, the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or 

  
 56 

 
distribution is made by any Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary
Guarantor (as applicable) in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s
obligations with respect to the Securities of a series entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee under this Article X or any other Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations with respect to its Guarantee of such series of Securities.

executed by the Companies (and if applicable, the Notation of Guarantee for such series executed by each Guarantor with respect to such series) to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities for
original issue upon a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by Company Order. Such order shall specify the amount of the
Securities to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated, the name or names of the initial Holder or Holders and any other terms of the Securities of such series not otherwise determined. If provided
for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize (1) authentication and delivery of Securities of such series for original issue from time to time, with certain terms (including, without limitation, the Maturity dates or dates, original
issue date or dates and interest rate or rates) that differ from Security to Security and (2) may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Companies or the Companies’ respective duly
authorized agent, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. 

  
 12 

 If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one
or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Section 2.01, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive (in addition
to the Company Order referred to above and the other documents required by Section 11.04), and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon: 

(a) an Officers’ Certificate of the Companies setting forth the Board Resolution and, if applicable, an appropriate record
of any action taken pursuant thereto, as contemplated by the last paragraph of Section 2.01; and 
 (b) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that: 
 (i) the form of such Securities has been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture; 
 (ii) the terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
and 
 (iii) that such Securities and the related Guarantees, if any, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
issued by the Companies in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Companies and the Guarantors, respectively, enforceable against the Companies and the
Guarantors, respectively, in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or other similar laws in
effect from time to time affecting the rights of creditors generally, and the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers’ Certificate and
Opinion of Counsel at the time of issuance of each such Security, but such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of the series to be issued. 

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issuance of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture would affect
the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Companies to authenticate Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such
appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as
an Agent to deal with the Companies, any Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Companies or any Guarantor. 

  
 13 

 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

 

	SECTION 2.05	Registrar and Paying Agent. 

 The Companies shall maintain an office or agency for each
series of Securities where Securities of such series may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities of such series may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”).
The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities of such series and of their transfer and exchange. The Companies 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 Companies shall enter into an appropriate
agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Companies shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent
not a party to this Indenture. The Companies may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. If the Companies fail to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The
Companies, any Guarantor or any other Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The Companies initially appoint the Trustee as
Registrar and Paying Agent. 
  

	SECTION 2.06	Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

 The Companies shall require each Paying Agent
other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to Securities and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Companies in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to
account for any funds disbursed. The Companies at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon payment over to the Trustee and upon accounting for any funds disbursed,
the Paying Agent (if other than the Companies, a Guarantor or another Subsidiary of the Companies) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Companies, a Guarantor or another Subsidiary of the Companies acts as Paying Agent, it shall
segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent shall otherwise comply with TIA § 317(b). 

  
 14 

	SECTION 2.07	Holder Lists. 

 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, the Companies shall furnish to
the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of Securities, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably
require of the names and addresses of Holders of such series, and the Companies shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). 
  

	SECTION 2.08	Transfer and Exchange. 

 Except as set forth in Section 2.17 or as may be provided
pursuant to Section 2.01: 
 When Securities of any series are presented to the Registrar with the request to register the transfer of
such Securities or to exchange such Securities for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same series of like tenor and of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its
requirements and the requirements of this Indenture for such transactions are met; provided, however, that the Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instruction of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing, on which instruction the Registrar can rely. 

To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Companies shall execute Securities (and if applicable, each Guarantor with respect to
such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee for such series) and the Trustee shall authenticate such Securities at the Registrar’s written request and submission of the Securities or Global Securities. No service charge shall be made to
a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Companies may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith (other than such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.12, 3.07 or 9.05). The Trustee shall authenticate Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the Companies shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of (a) any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article III, except the
unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any Security during the period beginning 15 Business Days prior to the mailing of notice of any offer to repurchase Securities of the series required pursuant to the terms
thereof or of redemption of Securities of a series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing. 

  
 15 

	SECTION 2.09	Replacement Securities. 

 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or if
the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been destroyed, lost or stolen and the Companies and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security, the Companies shall issue, each
Guarantor with respect to such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee relating to such Security, if any, and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same series if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Companies in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. If required by the Trustee, any Guarantor or the Companies,
such Holder must furnish an indemnity bond that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Companies to protect the Companies, each Guarantor, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if
a Security is replaced. The Companies and the Trustee may charge a Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security. 
 Every replacement
Security is an additional obligation of the Companies. 
  

	SECTION 2.10	Outstanding Securities. 

 The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by the Trustee hereunder and those described in this Section 2.10 as not
outstanding. 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof
satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Security is considered
paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 A Security does not cease to be
outstanding because a Company, a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Companies or a Guarantor holds the Security. 
  

	SECTION 2.11	Original Issue Discount, Foreign-Currency Denominated and Treasury Securities. 

 In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, (a) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security shall be the principal
amount thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02, (b) the principal amount of a Security denominated in a foreign currency shall be the
Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Companies by reference to the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for such currency, as such rate is certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the
“Exchange Rate”) 

  
 16 

 
on the date of original issuance of such Security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Companies by
reference to the Exchange Rate on the date of original issuance of such Security, of the amount determined as provided in (a) above), of such Security and (c) Securities owned by the Companies, a Guarantor or any other obligor upon the
Securities or any Affiliate of the Companies, of a Guarantor or of such other obligor shall be disregarded, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such direction, amendment, supplement,
waiver or consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
  

	SECTION 2.12	Temporary Securities. 

 Until definitive Securities of any series are ready for delivery,
the Companies may prepare and execute temporary Securities, each Guarantor with respect to such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee relating to such temporary Securities, if any, and the Trustee shall authenticate such temporary
Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities, but may have variations that the Companies considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Companies shall prepare and
execute definitive Securities, each Guarantor with respect to such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee relating to such definitive Securities, if any, and the Trustee shall authenticate such definitive Securities in exchange for temporary
Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities. 
  

	SECTION 2.13	Cancellation. 

 The Companies or any Guarantor at any time may deliver Securities to the
Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or redemption or for credit against any sinking fund payment. The Trustee
shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, redemption, replacement or cancellation or for credit against any sinking fund. Unless the Companies shall direct in writing that canceled Securities be
returned to it, after written notice to the Companies all canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the usual disposal procedures of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall maintain a record of their disposal. The
Companies may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that have been paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  

	SECTION 2.14	Payments; Defaulted Interest. 

 Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by
Section 2.01, interest (except defaulted interest) on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on 

  
 17 

 
any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Persons who are registered Holders of that Security at the close of business on the record date next preceding such Interest Payment Date, even if
such Securities are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender a Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of any
series, the Companies will pay the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities in Dollars. Such amounts shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee or any Paying Agent, provided
that at the option of the Companies, the Companies may pay such amounts (1) by wire transfer with respect to Global Securities or (2) by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder’s registered address with respect to any
Securities. 
 If the Companies default in a payment of interest on the Securities of any series, the Companies shall pay the defaulted
interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities of such series and in Section 4.01. The Companies may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons
who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. At least 15 days before any special record date selected by the Companies, the Companies (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Companies upon 20 days’ prior written notice
from the Companies setting forth such special record date and the interest amount to be paid) shall mail to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

 

	SECTION 2.15	Persons Deemed Owners. 

 The Companies, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any Agent and any
authenticating agent may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to such
Security and for all other purposes. None of the Companies, any Guarantor, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
  

	SECTION 2.16	Computation of Interest. 

 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year comprising twelve 30-day months. 

 

	SECTION 2.17	Global Securities; Book-Entry Provisions. 

 If Securities of a series are issuable in
global form as a Global Security, as contemplated by Section 2.01, then, notwithstanding clause (11) of Section 2.01 and the provisions of Section 2.02, any such Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities
of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the 

  
 18 

 
aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or
increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, transfers or redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the
Trustee (i) in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in such Security or in a Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04 or (ii) otherwise in accordance with
written instructions or such other written form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary for such Security, from such Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in such Global Security. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.04 and, if applicable, Section 2.12, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified in such Security or in
the applicable Company Order. With respect to the Securities of any series that are represented by a Global Security, the Companies and the Guarantors authorize the execution and delivery by the Trustee of a letter of representations or other
similar agreement or instrument in the form customarily provided for by the Depositary appointed with respect to such Global Security. Any Global Security may be deposited with the Depositary or its nominee, or may remain in the custody of the
Trustee or the Security Custodian therefor pursuant to a FAST Balance Certificate Agreement or similar agreement between the Trustee and the Depositary. If a Company Order has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Companies
with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. 

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any
Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee or the Security Custodian as its custodian, or under such Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Companies, any Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security
Custodian and any agent of the Companies, any Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security Custodian as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the registered holder of a Global
Security of a series may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder of Securities of such series is entitled to take under
this Indenture or the Securities of such series and (ii) nothing herein shall prevent the Companies, any Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security Custodian, or any agent of either Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security Custodian,
from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of
a beneficial owner of any Security. 
 Notwithstanding Section 2.08, and except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.01,
transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Security may be transferred in
accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary. Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security if, and only if, either (1) the Depositary notifies the
Companies that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Security 

  
 19 

 
and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Companies within 90 days of such notice, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with respect to such series and is continuing and the
Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue Securities in lieu of all or a portion of the Global Security (in which case the Companies shall deliver Securities within 30 days of such request) or (3) the Companies in their sole
discretion determine not to have the Securities represented by a Global Security. 
 In connection with any transfer of a portion of the
beneficial interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the
principal amount of the beneficial interests in the Global Security to be transferred, and the Companies shall execute, each Guarantor with respect to such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee relating to such Global Security, if any, and
the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Securities shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Securities of the same series of like tenor and amount. 

In connection with the transfer of all of the beneficial interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this
Section 2.17, the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Companies shall execute, each Guarantor with respect to such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee relating to such Global
Security, if any, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interests in the Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Securities of authorized
denominations. 
 None of the Companies, any Guarantor or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to, or payments made on account of, Securities by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to such Securities. None of the Companies, any Guarantor or the Trustee shall be
liable for any delay by the Holder of the Global Security or the Depositary in identifying the beneficial owners, and each such Person may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, instructions from such Holder of the Global
Security or the Depositary for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Securities to be issued). 

The provisions of the last sentence of the third paragraph of Section 2.04 shall apply to any Global Security if such Global Security was
never issued and sold by the Companies and the Companies or a Guarantor delivers to the Trustee the Global Security together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel) with regard to the cancellation or reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of the third paragraph of Section 2.04. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.03 and 2.14, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, payment of
principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Global Security shall be made to the Depositary. 

  
 20 

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

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, delivery or surrender of a Security shall not be required in the case of Global Securities in
order to obtain the rights or benefits provided hereunder upon the delivery or surrender of a Security. 
 ARTICLE III 

REDEMPTION 
  

	SECTION 3.01	Applicability of Article. 

 Securities of any series that are redeemable before their
Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article III. 

 

	SECTION 3.02	Notice to the Trustee. 

 If the Companies elect to redeem Securities of any series
pursuant to this Indenture, it shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. The Companies shall so notify the Trustee at least 45 days before the Redemption Date (unless a
shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) by delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the provisions of this Indenture and of the Securities of such series. Any such notice may
be canceled at any time prior to the mailing of such notice of such redemption to any Holder and shall thereupon be void and of no effect. 
  

	SECTION 3.03	Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed. 

 If less than all of the Securities of any
series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities of such series of a specified tenor are to be redeemed), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the
outstanding Securities of such series (and tenor) not previously called for redemption, either pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem appropriate in accordance with industry standards at the time of such redemption and
that may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for 

  
 21 

 
Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities
of that series or of the principal amount of Global Securities of such series; provided that, if at the time of redemption such Securities are registered as a Global Security, the Depositary shall determine, in accordance with its procedures,
the principal amount of such Securities held by each beneficial owner of Securities to be redeemed. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Companies and the Registrar in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

For purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Securities shall relate, in
the case of any of the Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been or is to be redeemed. 
  

	SECTION 3.04	Notice of Redemption. 

 Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, mailed not less than 30 days (or not less than 15 days in the case of convertible Securities) nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at the address of such Holder appearing
in the register of Securities maintained by the Registrar. 
 All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and
shall state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date; 

(2) the Redemption Price (or the method of calculating or determining the Redemption Price); 

(3) that, unless the Companies and the Guarantors default in making the redemption payment, interest on Securities called for
redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities is to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities redeemed; 

(4) if any Security is to be redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and that on and after
the Redemption Date, upon surrender for cancellation of such Security to the Paying Agent, a new Security or Securities in the aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued without charge to the Holder; 

(5) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price and the name
and address of the Paying Agent; 

  
 22 

 (6) that the redemption is for a sinking or analogous fund, if such is the case;

 (7) if such Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock, other debt securities (including
Securities), warrants, other equity securities or any other securities or property of the Companies, any Guarantor or any other Person, the name and address of the conversion or exchange agent, the date on which the right to convert or exchange is
terminated and the conversion or exchange rate; and 
 (8) the CUSIP number, if any, relating to such Securities. 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Companies shall be given by the Companies or, at the Companies’
written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Companies. 
  

	SECTION 3.05	Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

 Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called
for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price, but interest installments whose maturity is on
or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable on the relevant Interest Payment Dates to the Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record dates specified pursuant to Section 2.01. 

 

	SECTION 3.06	Deposit of Redemption Price. 

 By 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date,
the Companies or a Guarantor shall deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent (or, if the Companies or such Guarantor are acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.06) an amount of money in same day
funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on
that date, other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Companies or a Guarantor to the Trustee for cancellation. 

If the Companies comply, or a Guarantor complies, with the preceding paragraph, then, unless the Companies and the Guarantors default in the
payment of such Redemption Price, interest on the Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Securities are presented for payment, and the Holders of such Securities shall have no
further rights with respect to such Securities except for the right to receive the Redemption Price upon surrender of such Securities. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal,
premium, if any, any Additional Amounts, and, to the extent lawful, accrued interest thereon shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate specified pursuant to Section 2.01 or provided in the Securities or, in the case
of Original Issue Discount Securities, such Securities’ yield to maturity. 

  
 23 

	SECTION 3.07	Securities Redeemed in Part. 

 Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Security to be
redeemed in part, the Companies shall execute, each Guarantor with respect to such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee relating to such Security, if any, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security
without service charge a new Security or Securities, of the same series and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the principal of the
Security so surrendered that is not redeemed. 
  

	SECTION 3.08	Purchase of Securities. 

 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.01, the Companies, any Guarantor and any Affiliate of the Companies or any Guarantor may at any time purchase or otherwise acquire Securities in the open market or by private agreement. Any such acquisition shall not operate as or be
deemed for any purpose to be a redemption of the indebtedness represented by such Securities. Any Securities purchased or acquired by the Companies or a Guarantor may be delivered to the Trustee and, upon such delivery, the indebtedness represented
thereby shall be deemed to be satisfied. Section 2.13 shall apply to all Securities so delivered. 
  

	SECTION 3.09	Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. 

 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment
provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to
as an “optional sinking fund payment.” Unless otherwise provided by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.10. Each sinking fund payment
shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series and by this Article III. 
  

	SECTION 3.10	Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

 The Companies or a Guarantor may
deliver outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and may apply as a credit Securities of a series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Companies pursuant to the terms of such Securities or
through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the 

  
 24 

 
terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of
such series of Securities; provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
  

	SECTION 3.11	Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

 Not less than 45 days prior (unless a
shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Companies will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate of the Companies specifying the amount of the next ensuing
sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivery of or by crediting Securities
of that series pursuant to Section 3.10 and will also deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Failure of the Companies to timely deliver or cause to be delivered such Officers’ Certificate and
Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute the election of the Companies (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date
shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Companies will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section.

 If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment
date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof based on the applicable Exchange Rate on the date of original issue of the applicable Securities) or a lesser
sum if the Companies shall so request with respect to the Securities of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption
price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof as aforesaid) or less and the Companies make no such request then it shall be carried over until a sum in
excess of $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof as aforesaid) is available. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the
manner specified in Section 3.03 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Companies in the manner provided in Section 3.04. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such
Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.05, 3.06 and 3.07.

 The Companies will maintain in each Place of Payment

may be presented for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Companies or a Guarantor in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. Unless otherwise designated by the Companies by written notice to the
Trustee and the Guarantors, such office or agency shall be the office of the Trustee in The City of New York, which on the date hereof is located at
                                         , New
York, New York                     . The Companies will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Guarantors of the location, and any change
in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Companies shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee and the Guarantors with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 The Companies may also from time to time
designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such
designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Companies of the obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Companies 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.

	SECTION 4.03	SEC Reports; Financial Statements. 

 (a) If the Companies are subject to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Companies shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after it files the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the
foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) that the Companies are required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. If this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, but not otherwise, the
Companies shall also comply with the provisions of TIA § 314(a).

information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Companies intend to file the reports, information and documents referred to in Section 4.03(a) hereof with the SEC in electronic form pursuant to Regulation S-T promulgated by the SEC using the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and
Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system. The Companies shall notify the Trustee in the manner prescribed herein of each such filing. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to access the EDGAR system for purposes of retrieving the reports so
filed. Compliance with the foregoing shall constitute delivery by the Companies of such reports to the Trustee in compliance with the provisions of TIA § 314(a). The Trustee shall have no duty to search for or obtain any electronic or other
filings that the Companies make with the SEC, regardless of whether such filings are periodic, supplemental or otherwise. Delivery of the reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be solely for the
purposes of compliance with this Section 4.03 and with TIA § 314(a). The Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information and documents shall not constitute notice to it of the content thereof or of any matter determinable from the
content thereof, including the Companies’ and any Guarantor’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder, as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely upon Officers’ Certificates. 

 

	SECTION 4.04	Compliance Certificate. 

 (a) Each of the Companies and the Guarantors shall deliver to
the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Companies and the Guarantors, a statement signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of such Company or such Guarantor,
as the case may be, which need not constitute an Officers’ Certificate, complying with TIA § 314(a)(4) and stating that in the course of performance by the signing Officer of his duties as such Officer of such Company or such Guarantor, as
the case may be, he would normally obtain knowledge of the keeping, observing, performing and fulfilling by such Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, of its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating that to the best of his
knowledge such 

  
 27 

 
Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture 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 shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which such Officer may have knowledge and what action such Company or
such Guarantor, as the case may be, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto). 
 (b) Any Company or any Guarantor shall, so long
as Securities of any series are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, as soon as practicable, but in no event more than five Business Days, after any Officer of such Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, becoming aware of any Default or
Event of Default under this Indenture, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action such Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

 

	SECTION 4.05	Corporate or Other Existence. 

 Subject to Article V, the Companies shall do or cause to
be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect their existence. This Section 4.05 shall not prohibit or restrict the Companies from converting into a different form of legal entity. 

 

	SECTION 4.06	Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. 

 Each of the Companies and the Guarantors
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would
prohibit or forgive it from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) each of the Companies and the Guarantors hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not 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	Additional Amounts. 

 If the Securities of a series expressly provide for the payment of
Additional Amounts, the Companies will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series Additional Amounts as expressly provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium
or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or the net proceeds received from the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in
this Section 4.07 to the extent that, in such context, Additional 

  
 28 

 
Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.07 and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any
provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

	SECTION 5.01	Limitations on Mergers and Consolidations. 

 No Company nor any Guarantor shall
consolidate with or merge into any Person, or sell, lease, convey, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, in any transaction or series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to any Person (other than a consolidation or merger of
a Company and one or more Guarantors or two or more Guarantors, or a sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Company to a Guarantor, a Guarantor to a Company or of a Guarantor
to another Guarantor), unless: 
 (1) either (a) such Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be the
continuing Person or (b) the Person (if other than such Company or such Guarantor) formed by such consolidation or into which such Company or such Guarantor is merged, or to which such sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other
disposition shall be made (collectively, the “Successor”), is organized or existing under the laws of the United States of America, any political subdivision thereof or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and expressly assumes
by supplemental indenture, in the case of such Company, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to all the Securities and the performance of such Company’s
covenants and obligations under this Indenture and the Securities, or, in the case of such Guarantor, the performance of the Guarantee and such Guarantor’s covenants and obligations under this Indenture and the Securities; and 

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom.

assignment, transfer or other disposition, shall be released from all obligations under this Indenture, the Securities and, in the case of a Guarantor, its Guarantee. 

ARTICLE VI 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

  

	SECTION 6.01	Events of Default. 

 Unless either inapplicable to a particular series or specifically
deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution establishing such series of Securities or in the form of Security for such series, an “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities
of any series, occurs if: 
 (1) the Companies default in the payment of interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect
to any Security of that series when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 

(2) the Companies default in the payment of (A) the principal of any Security of that series at its Maturity or
(B) premium (if any) on any Security of that series when the same becomes due and payable; 
 (3) the Companies default
in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security of that series, and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 

(4) the Companies fail, or any Guarantor with respect to such series fails, to comply with any of their other covenants or
agreements in, or provisions of, the Securities of such series or this Indenture (other than an agreement, covenant or provision that has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than
that series) which shall not have been remedied within the specified period after written notice, as specified in the last paragraph of this Section 6.01; 

(5) the Companies or any Guarantor with respect to such series that is either Kraton or a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to
or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 
 (A) commences a voluntary case, 

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

(C) consents to the appointment of a Bankruptcy Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or 

  
 30 

 (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 

(6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that remains unstayed and in effect
for 90 days and that: 
 (A) is for relief against the Companies or any Guarantor with respect to such series that is Kraton
or a Significant Subsidiary as debtor in an involuntary case, 
 (B) appoints a Bankruptcy Custodian of the Companies or any
Guarantor with respect to such series that is Kraton or a Significant Subsidiary or a Bankruptcy Custodian for all or substantially all of the property of a Company or any Guarantor with respect to such series that is Kraton or a Significant
Subsidiary, or 
 (C) orders the liquidation of a Company or any Guarantor with respect to such series that is Kraton or a
Significant Subsidiary; 
 (7) any Guarantee of any of the Guarantors with respect to such series that is Kraton or a
Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect with respect to Securities of that series (except as otherwise provided in this Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding, or any such Guarantor denies or disaffirms
its obligations under this Indenture or such Guarantee; or 
 (8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to
Securities of that series occurs. 
 The term “Bankruptcy Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar
official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 The Trustee shall not be deemed to know or have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a
trust officer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee receives written notice at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee of such Default or Event of Default with specific reference to such Default or Event of Default. 

When a Default or Event of Default is cured, it ceases. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, if the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts
with respect to any Security is payable in a currency or currencies (including a composite currency) other than Dollars and such currency or currencies are not available to the Companies or a Guarantor for making payment thereof due to the
imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Companies or such Guarantor (a “Conversion Event”), each of the Companies and the Guarantors will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders of the
Securities by making such payment in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar equivalent of the amount payable in such other currency, as determined by the Companies or the Guarantor, as the case may be, by reference to the Exchange Rate on the date
of such payment, or, if such rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing 

  
 31 

 
provisions of this Section 6.01, any payment made under such circumstances in Dollars where the required payment is in a currency other than Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default
under this Indenture. 
 Promptly after the occurrence of a Conversion Event, the Companies or a Guarantor shall give written notice thereof
to the Trustee; and the Trustee, promptly after receipt of such notice, shall give notice thereof in the manner provided in Section 11.02 to the Holders. Promptly after the making of any payment in Dollars as a result of a Conversion Event, the
Companies or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall give notice in the manner provided in Section 11.02 to the Holders, setting forth the applicable Exchange Rate and describing the calculation of such payments. 

A Default under clause (4) or (8) of this Section 6.01 is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Companies and
the Guarantors, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the series affected by such Default (or, in the case of a Default under clause (4) of this Section 6.01, if outstanding Securities of
other series are affected by such Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities so affected) notify the Companies, the Guarantors and the Trustee, of the Default, and the Companies or the applicable Guarantor, as
the case may be, fails to cure the Default within 90 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” 

 

	SECTION 6.02	Acceleration. 

 If an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any series at
the time outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Companies and the Guarantors, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Securities of the series affected by such Event of Default (or, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (4) of Section 6.01, if outstanding Securities of other series are affected by such Event
of Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities so affected) by notice to the Companies, the Guarantors and the Trustee, may declare the principal of (or, if any such Securities are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and all accrued and unpaid interest on all then outstanding Securities of such series or of all series, as the case may be, to be due and payable. Upon
any such declaration, the amounts due and payable on the Securities shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, such amounts shall ipso facto become
and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the series affected by such Event of
Default or all series so affected, as the case may be, by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences (other than nonpayment of principal of or premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the
Securities) if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) all existing Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be) have been cured or waived, except
nonpayment of principal, 

  
 32 

 
premium, interest or any Additional Amounts that has become due solely because of the acceleration, and (iii) the Trustee has been paid any amounts 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 7.07. 
  

	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, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A
delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to
the extent permitted by law. 
  

	SECTION 6.04	Waiver of Defaults. 

 Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series or of all series affected thereby (acting as one class) by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to such series or all series so
affected, as the case may be, and its consequences (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Securities of such series or all series so affected or a solicitation of consents in respect of Securities of such
series or all series so affected, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of then outstanding Securities of such series or all series so affected (but the terms of such offer or solicitation may vary from
series to series)), except (1) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security or (2) a continued Default in respect of
a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended or supplemented without the consent of each Holder affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

	SECTION 6.05	Control by Majority. 

 With respect to Securities of any series, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series may direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it
relating to or arising under an Event of Default described in 

  
 33 

 
clause (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Section 6.01, and with respect to all Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Securities affected
may direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it not relating to or arising under such an Event of Default. However, the Trustee
may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with applicable law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided,
however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to security or indemnification satisfactory to it
in its sole discretion from Holders directing the Trustee against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
  

	SECTION 6.06	Limitations on Suits. 

 Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, a Holder of a Security of
any series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such series or the related Guarantees, if any, only if: 

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to such series; 

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series make a written request to
the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to
the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after
receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 
 A Holder
may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 
  

	SECTION 6.07	Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security, or to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 

  
 34 

	SECTION 6.08	Collection Suit by Trustee. 

 If an Event of Default specified in clause (1) or
(2) of Section 6.01 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 Companies or a Guarantor for the amount of principal, premium (if any),
interest and any Additional Amounts remaining unpaid on the Securities of the series affected by the Event of Default, and interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue 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 and to take such actions, including participating as a member, voting or otherwise, of any committee of creditors, as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Companies or a Guarantor or their respective creditors or properties 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 Bankruptcy 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 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due
the Trustee under Section 7.07 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 which the Holders of the Securities 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 Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

  
 35 

	SECTION 6.10	Priorities. 

 If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay
out the money in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; 

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has
been collected, for principal, premium (if any), interest and any Additional Amounts ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium (if any), interest and any
Additional Amounts, respectively; and 
 Third: to the Companies. 

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Companies, may fix record dates and payment dates for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Article VI. 
 To the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, if for the purpose of obtaining a judgment against the Companies or a
Guarantor in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of any series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in
which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used for purposes of rendering the judgment shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of
New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the Business Day in The City of New York next preceding that on which final judgment is given. None of the Companies, any Guarantor or the Trustee shall be liable for any shortfall nor
shall it benefit from any windfall in payments to Holders of Securities under this Section 6.10 caused by a change in exchange rates between the time the amount of a judgment against it is calculated as above and the time the Trustee converts
the Judgment Currency into the Required Currency to make payments under this Section 6.10 to Holders of Securities, but payment of such judgment shall discharge all amounts owed by the Companies and the Guarantors on the claim or claims
underlying such judgment. 
  

	SECTION 6.11	Undertaking for Costs. 

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

 ARTICLE VII 

TRUSTEE 
  

	SECTION 7.01	Duties of Trustee. 

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

covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its
part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However,
the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether, on their face, they appear to conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

misconduct, except that:

Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01. 

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee may refuse to
perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 

  
 37 

 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Trustee may agree in writing with the Companies and the Guarantors. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. All money received by the Trustee shall, until applied as herein

the Securities, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. 
 (g) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein

 38 

	SECTION 7.03	May Hold Securities. 

 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Companies, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. However,
the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
  

	SECTION 7.04	Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

 The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Companies’ use of the proceeds from the Securities or any money paid to the Companies or any Guarantor or upon the Companies’ or such Guarantor’s
direction under any provision hereof, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the
Securities other than its certificate of authentication. 
  

	SECTION 7.05	Notice of Defaults. 

 If a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
any series occurs and is continuing and it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Securities of such series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event
of Default in payment of principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and Additional Amounts or any sinking fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, 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 Holders of Securities of such series. 
  

	SECTION 7.06	Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

 Within 60 days after each June 15 of each year
after the execution of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of a series, the Guarantors and the Companies a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a); provided, however, that if no
event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date with respect to a series, no report need be transmitted to Holders of such series. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA
§ 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports if and as required by TIA §§ 313(c) and 313(d). 
 A
copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders of a series of Securities shall be filed by the Companies or a Guarantor with the SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities of such series are listed. The Companies
shall notify the Trustee if and when any series of Securities is listed on any securities exchange. 

  
 39 

	SECTION 7.07	Compensation and Indemnity. 

 The Companies agree to pay to the Trustee for its
acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder such compensation as the Companies and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust. The Companies agree to reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the
Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Companies hereby indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee against any and all loss,
liability, damage, claim or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this
Indenture, except as set forth in the next following paragraph. The Trustee shall notify the Companies and the Guarantors promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Companies shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in
the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Companies shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Companies need not pay for any settlement made without its consent. 

The Companies shall not be obligated to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through the
Trustee’s negligence or bad faith. 
 To secure the payment obligations of the Companies in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall
have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of any series. Such
lien and the Companies’ obligations under this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) occurs, the
expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  

	SECTION 7.08	Replacement of Trustee. 

 A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 

The Trustee may resign and be discharged at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by so notifying the Companies and
the Guarantors. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by so notifying the Trustee, the Companies and the Guarantors. The
Companies may remove the Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

  
 40 

 (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 Bankruptcy Custodian or public officer takes charge of
the Trustee or its property; or 
 (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, with respect to the Securities of one or
more series, the Companies shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or
more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series). Within one year after the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series takes office, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Companies. 

If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series does not take office within 30 days after the retiring or removed Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring or removed Trustee (at the expense of the Companies), the Companies, any Guarantor or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 If the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of a series fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Securities of such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series. 
 In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, each such
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee, to the Companies and to the Guarantors. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee
shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07. 
 In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Companies, the Guarantors, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto in which each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and that (1) shall confer to each successor Trustee all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall confirm that all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee

  
 41 

 
with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3) shall add to or change any
of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee. Nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, and each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee. Upon the execution
and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. On request of the Companies or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall transfer to such successor Trustee all
property held by such retiring Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. Such retiring Trustee shall, however, have the right to deduct its unpaid fees and
expenses, including attorneys’ fees. 
 Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee or Trustees pursuant to this Section 7.08, the
obligations of the Companies under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or Trustees. 
  

	SECTION 7.09	Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

 Subject to Section 7.10, if the Trustee
consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that in
the case of a transfer of all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to another corporation, the transferee corporation expressly assumes all of the Trustee’s liabilities hereunder. 

In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate
such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided
that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 
  

	SECTION 7.10	Eligibility; Disqualification. 

 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which
shall be a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, shall be subject to
supervision or examination by Federal or State (or the District of Columbia) authority and shall have, or be a subsidiary of a bank or bank holding company having, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most
recent published annual report of condition. 

  
 42 

 The Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA
§§ 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee is subject to and shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 310(b) during the period of time required by this Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture shall prevent the Trustee
from filing with the SEC the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of TIA § 310(b). 
  

	SECTION 7.11	Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Companies or a Guarantor. 

 The Trustee is
subject to and shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent
indicated therein. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Securities of a series (except that the Companies’ obligations under Section 7.07, the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations under Section 8.03 and the
rights, powers, protections and privileges accorded the Trustee under Article VII shall survive), and the Trustee, on demand of the Companies, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to the Securities of such series, when: 
 (1) either: 

(A) all outstanding Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and issued (other than destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities that have been replaced or paid) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (B) all outstanding
Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation: 
  

	 	(i)	have become due and payable, or 

  

	 	(ii)	will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

to be made in an amount, or (y) Government Obligations with respect to such series, maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such amounts as will ensure the availability of money in the currency in which payment of the
Securities of such series is to be made in an amount or (z) a combination thereof, which will be sufficient, in the opinion (in the case of clauses (y) and (z)) of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in
a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Securities of such series for principal and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and
payable) or for principal, premium, if any, and interest to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; or 

(C) the Companies and the Guarantors have properly fulfilled such other means of satisfaction and discharge as is specified, as

 (3)
the Companies have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series have been complied with, together with an
Opinion of Counsel to the same effect. 
 (b) Unless this Section 8.01(b) is specified as not being applicable to Securities of a
series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the Companies may, at the Companies’ option, terminate certain of their and the Guarantors’ respective obligations under this Indenture (“covenant defeasance”) with respect to the
Securities of a series if: 
 (1) a Company or a Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited
with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for and dedicated solely to the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series, (i) money in the currency in which
payment of the Securities of such series is to be made in an amount, or (ii) Government Obligations with respect to such series, maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such amounts as will ensure the availability of money in
the currency in which payment of the Securities of such series is to be made in an amount or (iii) a combination thereof, that is sufficient, in the opinion (in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii)) of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay the principal of and premium (if any) 

  
 44 

 
and interest on all Securities of such series on each date that such principal, premium (if any) or interest is due and payable and (at the Stated Maturity thereof or upon redemption as provided
in Section 8.01(e)) to pay all other sums payable by it hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money and/or the proceeds of such Government Obligations to the payment of said principal,
premium (if any) and interest with respect to the Securities of such series as the same shall become due; 
 (2) the
Companies have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series have been complied with, and an Opinion of

Federal income tax purposes as a result of the Companies’ exercise of the option under this Section 8.01(b) and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would
have been the case if such option had not been exercised; 
 (5) the Companies and the Guarantors have complied with any
additional conditions specified pursuant to Section 2.01 to be applicable to the discharge of Securities of such series pursuant to this Section 8.01; and 

(6) such deposit and discharge shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest as defined in TIA § 310(b). 

In such event, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as set forth in this paragraph), and the Trustee, on demand of the
Companies, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge under this Indenture. However, the Companies’ and the Guarantors’ respective obligations in Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08,
8.04 and 10.01, the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations in Section 8.03 and the rights, powers, protections and privileges accorded the Trustee under Article VII shall survive until all Securities of such series are no longer
outstanding. Thereafter, only the Companies’ obligations in Section 7.07 and the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations in Section 8.03 shall survive with respect to Securities of such series.

Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Companies’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series except for those surviving obligations specified above.

interest on the Securities, the Government Obligations shall be payable as to principal or interest on or before such payment date in such amounts as will provide the necessary money. Government Obligations shall not be callable at the issuer’s
option. 
 (c) If the Companies and the Guarantors have previously complied or are concurrently complying with Section 8.01(b) (other
than any additional conditions specified pursuant to Section 2.01 that are expressly applicable only to covenant defeasance) with respect to Securities of a series, then, unless this Section 8.01(c) is specified as not being applicable to
Securities of such series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the Companies may elect that their and the Guarantors’ respective obligations to make payments with respect to Securities of such series be discharged (“legal
defeasance”), if: 
 (1) no Default or Event of Default under clauses (5) and (6) of Section 6.01 hereof
shall have occurred at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit contemplated by Section 8.01(b) (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period); 

(2) unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of such series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the Companies
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the effect referred to in Section 8.01(b)(4) with respect to such legal defeasance, which opinion is based on (i) a
private letter ruling issued by the United States Internal Revenue Service addressed to the Companies, (ii) a published ruling of the United States Internal Revenue Service pertaining to a comparable form of transaction or (iii) a change
in the applicable United States Federal income tax law (including regulations) after the date of this Indenture; 
 (3) the
Companies and the Guarantors have complied with any other conditions specified pursuant to Section 2.01 to be applicable to the legal defeasance of Securities of such series pursuant to this Section 8.01(c); and

series and an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such legal defeasance of the Securities of such series have been complied with, together with an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect. 

In such event, the Companies and the Guarantors will be discharged from their respective obligations under this Indenture and the Securities
of such series to pay principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series, the Companies’ and the Guarantors’ respective obligations under Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 10.01 shall
terminate with respect to such Securities, and the entire indebtedness of the Companies evidenced by such Securities and of the Guarantors evidenced by the related Guarantees, if any, shall be deemed paid and discharged. 

  
 46 

 (d) If and to the extent additional or alternative means of satisfaction, discharge or defeasance
of Securities of a series are specified to be applicable to such series as contemplated by Section 2.01, each of the Companies and the Guarantors may terminate any or all of its obligations under this Indenture with respect to Securities of a
series and any or all of its obligations under the Securities of such series if it fulfills such other means of satisfaction and discharge as may be so specified, as contemplated by Section 2.01, to be applicable to the Securities of such
series. 
 (e) If Securities of any series subject to subsection (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 8.01 are to be redeemed
prior to their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in accordance with any mandatory or optional sinking fund provisions, the terms of the applicable trust arrangement shall provide for such redemption, and the
Companies shall make such arrangements as are reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Companies. 

 

	SECTION 8.02	Application of Trust Money. 

 The Trustee or a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Companies shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with
this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of the series with respect to which the deposit was made. 

 

	SECTION 8.03	Repayment to Companies or Guarantor. 

 The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly
pay to the Companies or any Guarantor any excess money or Government Obligations (or proceeds therefrom) held by them at any time upon the written request of the Companies. 

Subject to the requirements of any applicable abandoned property laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Companies upon
written request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium (if any), interest or any Additional Amounts that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due. After payment to the
Companies, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Companies for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to such
money shall cease. 

  
 47 

	SECTION 8.04	Reinstatement. 

 If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
Government Obligations deposited with respect to Securities of any series in accordance with Section 8.01 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 obligations of the Companies and the Guarantors under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series and under the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however, that if a Company or
any Guarantor has made any payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, such Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall
be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)) of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of all series affected by such amendment or supplement (acting as one class). 

Upon the request of the Companies, accompanied by a Board Resolution, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the
Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.06, join with the Companies and the Guarantors in the execution of such amendment or supplemental
indenture. 

  
 49 

 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of one or more series or of all series (acting as one class)
may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Companies or any Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for
Securities of such series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Securities of such series, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of then outstanding Securities of such series (but the terms of such
offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)). 
 However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or
waiver under this Section 9.02 may not: 
 (1) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an
amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (2) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default
interest, on any Security; 
 (3) reduce the principal of, any premium on or any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect
to, or change the Stated Maturity of, any Security or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02;

 (4) reduce the premium, if any, payable upon the redemption of any Security or change the time at which any Security may
or shall be redeemed; 
 (5) change any obligation of the Companies or any Guarantor to pay Additional Amounts with respect
to any Security; 
 (6) change the coin or currency or currencies (including composite currencies) in which any Security or
any premium, interest or Additional Amounts with respect thereto are payable; 
 (7) impair the right to institute suit for
the enforcement of any payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security pursuant to Sections 6.07 and 6.08, except as limited by Section 6.06; 

(8) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of Securities necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions
of this Indenture pursuant to Section 6.04 or 6.07 or make any change in this sentence of Section 9.02; 

  
 50 

 (9) waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal
of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities; 
 (10) except as provided in
Section 10.04, release any Guarantor or modify the related Guarantee in any manner materially adverse to the Holders; or 

(11) if applicable, make any change that materially and adversely affects the right to convert any Security. 

A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely
for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture
of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
 The right of any Holder to participate in any consent required or sought pursuant to
any provision of this Indenture (and the obligation of the Companies or any Guarantor to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record of any
Securities with respect to which such consent is required or sought as of a date identified by the Companies or such Guarantor in a notice furnished to Holders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Companies shall mail to the Holders of each
Security affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Companies to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment,
supplement or waiver. 
  

	SECTION 9.03	Compliance with the Trust Indenture Act. 

 Every amendment or supplement to this
Indenture or the Securities shall comply in form and substance with the TIA as then in effect. 
  

	SECTION 9.04	Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is
not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his or her Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before a date and time therefor identified by the
Companies or any Guarantor in a notice furnished to such Holder in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or, if no such date and time shall be identified, 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. 

  
 51 

 The Companies or any Guarantor may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date (which need
not comply with TIA § 316(c)) for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver or to take any other action under this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the
provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any
consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of
Securities required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in any of clauses
(1) through (9) of Section 9.02 hereof. In such case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s
Security. 
  

	SECTION 9.05	Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 

 If an amendment or supplement changes the terms
of an outstanding Security, the Companies may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security at the request of the Companies regarding the changed terms and return it to
the Holder. Alternatively, if the Companies so determine, the Companies in exchange for the Security shall issue, each Guarantor with respect to such series shall execute the Notation of Guarantee relating to such Security, if any, and the Trustee
shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment or supplement. 

Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any amendment or supplement may, and shall if required by the
Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such amendment or supplement. 
  

	SECTION 9.06	Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

 The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement
authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such
amendment or supplement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the documents required by Section 11.04, and, subject to Section 7.01 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel provided at the
expense of the Companies or a Guarantor to the effect that such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 

  
 52 

 ARTICLE X 

GUARANTEE 
  

	SECTION 10.01	Guarantee. 

 (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article X to the contrary, the
provisions of this Article X relating to the Guarantors shall be applicable only to, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Securities of any series designated, pursuant to Section 2.01, as entitled to the benefits of the related Guarantee of
each of the Guarantors. 
 (b) For value received, each of the Guarantors hereby fully, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees (each, a
“Guarantee”) to the Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and all other amounts due and payable under this Indenture and the Securities by the
Companies, when and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and this
Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.03. 
 (c) Failing payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to
the related Guarantee, for whatever reason, each of the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each of the Guarantees hereunder is intended to be a general, unsecured, unsubordinated obligation of the related
Guarantor and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all Debt of such Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall
be full, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities, its Guarantee, the Guarantee of any other Guarantor or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or
consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Companies or any Guarantor, or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of such series, whether at
the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to Section 6.06, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Indenture, directly against such Guarantor to enforce such Guarantee without first proceeding against the Companies or any other Guarantor. 

(d) The obligations of each of the Guarantors under this Article X shall be as aforesaid full, unconditional and absolute and shall not be
impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension, indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the
obligations and liabilities of the Companies or any of the Guarantors contained in the Securities or this Indenture, (ii) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of the liability of the Companies, any of the Guarantors or any of
their estates in bankruptcy, or any 

  
 53 

 
remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any applicable Bankruptcy Law, as amended, or other statute or from the decision of any
court, (iii) the assertion or exercise by the Companies, any of the Guarantors or the Trustee of any rights or remedies under the Securities or this Indenture or their delay in or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or remedies,
(iv) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for the Securities, including all or any part of the rights of the Companies or any of the Guarantors under this Indenture, (v) the extension of the time for
payment by the Companies or any of the Guarantors of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of the terms and provisions of the Securities or this Indenture or of the time for performance by the Companies or any of
the Guarantors of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal of any thereof, (vi) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or
obligation of the Companies or any of the Guarantors set forth in this Indenture, (vii) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and
liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Companies or any of the Guarantors or any of their
respective assets, or the disaffirmance of the Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture in any such proceeding, (viii) the release or discharge of the Companies or any of the Guarantors from the performance or observance of any agreement,
covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (ix) the unenforceability of the Securities of such series, the related Guarantees or this Indenture or (x) any other circumstances (other than payment
in full or discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the related Guarantees) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. 

(e) Each of the Guarantors hereby (i) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of the
merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Companies or any of the Guarantors, and all demands whatsoever, (ii) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing its Guarantee may be transferred and that the benefit of its
obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing its Guarantee without notice to it and (iii) covenants that its Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of such
Guarantee. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to its Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation,
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Companies or any of the Guarantors, such Guarantee shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such
application, and such Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made. 

(f) Each of the Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders and the Trustee against the Companies in respect of any amounts
paid by such Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Guarantor, shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all of the
Securities of such series and the related Guarantees shall have been paid in full or discharged. 

  
 54 

	SECTION 10.02	Execution and Delivery of Guarantees. 

 To further evidence its Guarantee set forth in
Section 10.01, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that a notation relating to such Guarantee (the “Notation of Guarantee”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A, shall be endorsed on each Security of the series
entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, which Notation of Guarantee shall be executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an Officer of such Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that
its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security the Notation of Guarantee relating to such Guarantee. If any Officer of such Guarantor, whose signature is on
this Indenture or the Notation of Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Security or at any time thereafter, the Guarantee of such Security shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Security of a
series entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee under this Article X by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor. 

 

	SECTION 10.03	Limitation on Liability of the Guarantors. 

 Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof
each Holder of a Security of a series entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee under this Article X hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders of a Security entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations
of each Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other
Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. 

 

	SECTION 10.04	Release of Guarantors from Guarantee. 

 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Indenture, the Guarantee of any Guarantor may be released upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 10.04. Provided that no Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Indenture, any Guarantee
incurred by a Guarantor pursuant to this Article X shall be unconditionally released and discharged (i) automatically upon (A) any sale, exchange or transfer, whether by way of merger or otherwise, to any Person that is not an Affiliate of
the Companies, of all of the Companies’ direct or indirect equity interests in such Guarantor (provided such sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture) or (B) the merger of such Guarantor into the Companies or
any other Guarantor or the liquidation and dissolution of 

  
 55 

 
such Guarantor (in each case to the extent not prohibited by this Indenture) or (ii) following delivery of a written notice of such release or discharge by the Companies to the Trustee, upon
the release or discharge of all guarantees by such Guarantor of any Debt of the Companies other than obligations arising under this Indenture and any Securities issued hereunder, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such
guarantees. 
 (b) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee upon receipt
of a written request of the Companies accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that the Guarantor is entitled to such release in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. If the Guarantor is not so released it
shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Securities entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee as provided in this Indenture, subject to the limitations of Section 10.03. 

 

	SECTION 10.05	Contribution. 

 In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the
Guarantors, the Guarantors hereby agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from
each other Guarantor (as applicable) in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Companies’
obligations with respect to the Securities of a series entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee under this Article X or any other Guarantor’s obligations with respect to its Guarantee of such series of Securities.
