by its terms, remain in effect until the earlier of the maturity of such Indebtedness or the date one year after the date of such determination) had been the applicable rate during that portion of such four-quarter reference period when such
Indebtedness was not actually outstanding. In calculating the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, if such Person or any of its Subsidiaries guarantees any Grower Indebtedness during the Calculation Period, the amount of Consolidated Interest

non-cash interest payments, the interest component of any deferred payment obligations, the interest component of all payments associated with Capital Lease Obligations and any Attributable Indebtedness, commissions, discounts and other fees and
charges incurred in respect of letter of credit or bankers’ acceptance financings, and net payments (if any) pursuant to Hedging Obligations, but excluding amortization of deferred financing charges for such period; 
 (ii) such consolidated interest expense of such Person and its Subsidiaries that was capitalized during such period; 
 (iii) any interest expense on Indebtedness of another Person that is guaranteed by such Person or one of its Subsidiaries or secured by a
Lien on assets of such Person or one of its Subsidiaries (whether or not such guarantee or Lien is called upon); provided, however, that interest expense on Grower Indebtedness that is guaranteed by such Person or one of its
Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be the interest expense calculated on the basis of an interest rate equal to the interest rate applicable under the revolving credit line portion of the Credit Agreement on the relevant date of determination; and

 (iv) the product of (a) all cash dividend payments (and non-cash dividend payments in the case of a Person that is a
Subsidiary) on any series of preferred stock of such Person payable to a party other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is one minus the then

permitted without any prior governmental approval (unless such approval has been obtained) or, directly or indirectly, by operation of the terms of its charter or any agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or governmental

 (v) in connection with such transfer, exchange or replacement the Registrar shall have received an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that neither such Private Placement Legend nor the related
restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. 
 The Private Placement Legend on any Note
shall be removed at the request of the Holder on or after the Resale Restriction Termination Date therefor. The Holder of a Global Note may exchange an interest therein for an equivalent interest in a Global Note not bearing a Private Placement
Legend (other than a Regulation S Global Note) upon transfer of such interest pursuant to any of clauses (i) through (v) of this paragraph (e). The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate promptly upon
effectiveness, withdrawal or suspension of any Registration Statement. 
 (f) Consolidation of Global Notes and Exchange of Certificated
Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. 
 (i) If a Global Note not bearing a Private Placement Legend (other than a Regulation S
Global Note) is outstanding at the time of a Registered Exchange Offer, any interests in a Global Note exchanged in such Registered Exchange Offer shall be exchanged for interests in such outstanding Global Note. 
 (ii) Upon the transfer or exchange (including pursuant to a Registered Exchange Offer) of any Certificated Note for which a Private Placement Legend
would not be required pursuant to Section 2.8(e) following such transfer or exchange, such Certificated Note shall be exchanged for an interest in a Global Note (other than a Regulation S Global Note) not bearing a Private Placement
Legend and, if no such Global Note is outstanding at such time, Company shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate a Global Note not bearing a Private Placement Legend. 

 (iii) Nothing in this Indenture shall provide for the consolidation of any Notes with any other Notes to
the extent that they constitute, as determined pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel, different classes of securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 (g) Retention of Documents. The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Article II. The Company shall have the right to
inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar. 
 (h) Execution, Authentication of Notes, etc. 
 (i) Subject to the other provisions of this
Section 2.8, when Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the
Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided that any Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly
endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges and
subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article II, the Company will execute and upon Company Order the Trustee will authenticate Certificated Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request. In
accordance with the Issue Date Registration Rights Agreement, Company will execute and upon Company Order the Trustee will authenticate Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, in exchange for Issue Date Notes. 
 (ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to a Registered Exchange
Offer or to Sections 2.10, 3.9, 3.10, 5.1 or 9.5). 
 (iii) The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not
be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note during a period beginning: (1) 15 days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or
(2) 15 days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date. 
 (iv) Prior to the due presentation for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar shall be affected by notice to
the contrary. 

 (v) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence
the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 (i)
No Obligation of the Trustee. 
 (i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of an interest in a
Global Note, a member of, or a participant in, DTC or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the
delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to
such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the
case of a Global Note). The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 
 (ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this
Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express
requirements hereof. 
 Section 2.9. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. 
 (a) If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the
Company shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the
Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an affidavit of loss and indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and
any co-Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced, and, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon Company Order
the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. 
 (b) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.9, the Company may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection therewith. 

 (c) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.9 in exchange for any mutilated Note, or
in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, any Note Guarantor and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall
be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may execute and upon Company Order the Trustee will
authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and execute
and upon Company Order the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained
by the Company for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company will execute and upon Company Order the Trustee will authenticate and make
available for delivery in exchange therefor one or more definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture
as a Holder of definitive Notes. 
 Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with
its policy of disposal or return to the Company all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for
any reason other than in connection with a transfer or exchange upon Company Order. 
 Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. When any
installment of interest becomes Defaulted Interest, such installment shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders in whose names the Notes were registered on the Record Date applicable to such installment of interest. Defaulted Interest
(including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (A) or (B) below. 
 (A) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on a special
record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a “Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid
and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee for such deposit 

 
prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such Defaulted Interest
as provided in this clause (A). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than 15 calendar days and not less than ten calendar days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not less than ten calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall
cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be sent, first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the registration books of the
Registrar, not less than ten calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to
the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (B). 
 (B) Alternatively, the Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) in any other lawful manner
not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to
this clause (B), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Section 2.13. Add On Notes. The Company
may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Indenture, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture an unlimited principal amount of Add On Notes having terms and
conditions set forth in Exhibit A identical to those of the other Outstanding Notes, except that Add On Notes: 
 (i)
may have a different issue date from other Outstanding Notes; 
 (ii) may have a different amount of interest payable on the
first Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on other Outstanding Notes; 
 (iii) may have terms specified in
the Add On Note Board Resolution or Add On Note Supplemental Indenture for such Add On Notes making appropriate adjustments to this Article II and Exhibit A (and related definitions) applicable to such Add On Notes in order to
conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any registration rights or similar agreement applicable to such Add On Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any
Outstanding Notes (other than such Add On Notes); and 
 (iv) may be entitled to additional interest or liquidated damages as
provided in Section 2.14 not applicable to other Outstanding Notes and may not be entitled to such additional interest or liquidated damages applicable to other Outstanding Notes. 
 Section 2.14. Additional Interest Under Registration Rights Agreements. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay
additional interest or liquidated 

 
damages to Holders, all as and to the extent set forth in the Issue Date Registration Rights Agreement or any Registration Rights Agreement applicable to Add
On Notes. The terms thereof are hereby incorporated herein by reference and such additional interest or liquidated damages are deemed to be interest for purposes of this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE III

 Section 3.1. Payment of Notes. 
 (a) The Company shall pay the principal of and interest (including Defaulted Interest) on the Notes in U.S. Legal Tender on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on
each Interest Payment Date and the Maturity Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to make cash payments due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may
be. If the Company, a Note Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Company or a Note Guarantor is acting as Paying Agent, the Company, such Note Guarantor or such Affiliate shall, prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on each Interest Payment Date and the
Maturity Date, segregate and hold in trust U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to make cash payments due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the
Trustee or the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Note Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Company or a Note Guarantor) holds in accordance with this Indenture U.S. Legal Tender designated for and sufficient to pay all principal and interest then
due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Company may, to the extent it is required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of
America from principal or interest payments hereunder.

 (a) The Company shall maintain each office or agency required under Section 2.3. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 (b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside of The City of New York) where the Notes may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind any such designation; 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 The City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice
to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 Section 3.3.
Corporate Existence. Subject to Article IV, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence. 
 Section 3.4. Payment of Taxes and Other Claim. The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall

Subsidiary and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by law become a liability or Lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not
be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves, if
necessary (in the good faith judgment of management of the Company), are being maintained in accordance with GAAP or where the failure to effect such payment will not be disadvantageous to the Holders. 
 Section 3.5. Compliance Certificate. (a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 calendar days after the end of each fiscal

Default or Event of Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Company
is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (b) So long as not contrary to the then-current recommendations of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 3.18 hereof shall be accompanied by a written statement of the Company’s independent registered public accountants (who shall
be a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that the Company has violated any provisions
of Article III or Article IV hereof or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to any
Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation. 
 Section 3.6. Further Instruments and Acts. The Company and
each Note Guarantor will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper or as the Trustee may reasonably request to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 

 Section 3.7. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company and each Note Guarantor
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit
or forgive the Company or such Note Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes 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. The Company and each Note Guarantor hereby expressly waives (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) 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 3.8. [Reserved] 
 Section 3.9. Limitation on Asset Sales. 
 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make an Asset Sale (except an Exempt Asset Sale, as
defined below) unless: 
 (i) the Company (or such Subsidiary of the Company) receives consideration at the time of such Asset
Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and in the case of a lease of assets, rent and other conditions which are no less favorable to the Company (or such Subsidiary) in any material respect than
the then prevailing market conditions, evidenced in each case by a resolution of the Board of Directors of such entity set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and 
 (ii) at least 75% (100% in the case of lease payments) of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Subsidiary is in the
form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, however, that, in the event of an Asset Sale of any property or assets of the Company that are surplus from the standpoint of the Company as a whole, in the good faith determination of the
Board of Directors of the Company (as evidenced by a resolution of such Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee), at least 60% of the consideration therefor received is in the form of cash or Cash
Equivalents. 
 An “Exempt Asset Sale” means an Asset Sale on or after the Issue Date (i) the Net Proceeds of which plus the Net
Proceeds of all other Asset Sales concurrently or previously made on or after the Issue Date do not exceed $25.0 million and (ii) the Net Proceeds of which plus the Net Proceeds of all other Asset Sales concurrently or previously made in the
same fiscal year do not exceed $10.0 million. 
 (b) The Company may apply, and may permit its Subsidiaries to apply, Net Proceeds of an
Asset Sale (other than an Exempt Asset Sale), at the Company’s option, within 365 days after the consummation of such an Asset Sale: 
 (i) to permanently reduce any of the Company’s outstanding Indebtedness (and to correspondingly reduce the commitments, if any) that ranks equal in right of 

 
payment with the Notes or, in the case of Net Proceeds of an Asset Sale by any Subsidiary of the Company, to permanently reduce (i) any of the
Company’s outstanding Indebtedness (and to correspondingly reduce the commitments, if any) that ranks equal in right of payment with the Notes or (ii) any outstanding Indebtedness (which in the case of Note Guarantors ranks equal in right
of payment to the relevant Note Guarantees) of such Subsidiary (and to correspondingly reduce the commitments, if any, with respect thereto); 
 (ii) to acquire another business or other long-term assets or make a capital expenditure, in each case, in, or used or useful in, the same or a similar line of business as the Company or any of its Subsidiaries were
engaged in on the Issue Date and which has not been discontinued on or prior to the date of such acquisition or any reasonable extensions or expansions thereof (including the Capital Stock of another Person engaged in such business, provided
that such other Person is, or immediately after giving effect to any such acquisition shall become, a Subsidiary of the Company or the Investment in such Person otherwise constitutes an Investment in a Joint Venture permitted by
Section 3.12(c)); or 
 (iii) to reimburse the Company or its Subsidiaries for expenditures made, and costs
incurred, to repair, rebuild, replace or restore property subject to loss, damage or taking to the extent that the Net Proceeds consist of insurance proceeds received on account of such loss, damage or taking. 
 Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company may (a) use such Net Proceeds to reduce temporarily any of its outstanding Indebtedness that
ranks equal in right of payment with the Notes or, in the case of Net Proceeds of an Asset Sale by any Subsidiary of the Company, to reduce temporarily (i) any of the Company’s outstanding Indebtedness that ranks equal in right of payment
with the Notes or (ii) any outstanding Indebtedness of such Subsidiary or (b) otherwise invest such Net Proceeds temporarily in Cash Equivalents. 
 (c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales (other than Exempt Asset Sales) that are not applied as provided in Section 3.9(b) within 365 days after the consummation of such an Asset Sale will be deemed to
constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, the Company will be required to make an offer to all Holders of Notes then outstanding (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase,
on a pro rata basis, the principal amount of Notes equal in amount to the Excess Proceeds (and not just the amount thereof that exceeds $15.0 million), at a purchase price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date. The Company will mail an Asset Sale Offer Notice pursuant to this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the amount of
Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to such Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess
Proceeds following the completion of the Asset Sale Offer for general corporate purposes (subject to the other provisions of this Indenture), and the amount of Excess Proceeds then required to be otherwise applied in accordance with this covenant
shall be reset to zero, subject to any subsequent Asset Sale. 

 (d) In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the Company’s property and
assets and its Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted in Section 4.1, the successor corporation shall be deemed to have sold the Company’s properties and assets and those of the Subsidiaries not so
transferred for purposes of this covenant, and shall comply with the provisions of this covenant with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the fair market value of such properties and assets of the Company or its
Subsidiaries deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Proceeds for purposes of this Section 3.9. 
 (e) If at any time any
non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash, then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder
and the Net Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this covenant. 
 (f) The Company shall comply with the requirements of
Section 14(e) of, and Rule 14e-1 under, the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a result of a Change of
Control or an Asset Sale. 
 (g) The Company may use Net Proceeds from Exempt Asset Sales for general corporate purposes (subject to the
other provisions of this Indenture). 
 Section 3.10. Change of Control. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to
$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) in cash equal to
101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). 
 (b) Within 30 days after the date of any Change of Control, the Company, or the Trustee at the Company’s request and expense, will mail by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a Change of Control Offer Notice to
each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee, if sent by the Company) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes at the Change of Control Purchase Price and pursuant to the procedures
required by this Indenture and described in such notice. 
 (c) The Change of Control Payment Date shall be a Business Day not less than 30
days nor more than 60 days after such notice is mailed. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will: 
 (i) accept
for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 
 (ii) deposit with the
Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and 

 (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so tendered together with
an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. 
 (d) The
Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Purchase Price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. 
 (e) The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 Section 3.11. Limitation on Issuance and Sale of Equity Interests of Subsidiaries. 
 The Company will not transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue, transfer, convey, sell,
lease or otherwise dispose of, any Equity Interests of any of its Subsidiaries to any Person (other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if necessary, shares of its Capital Stock constituting directors’ qualifying shares or issuances
of shares of Capital Stock of foreign Subsidiaries to foreign nationals, to the extent required by applicable law), except: 
 (a) if,
immediately after giving effect to such issuance, transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition, such Subsidiary would no longer constitute a Subsidiary and any Investment in such Person remaining after giving effect to such issuance or
sale would have been permitted to be made under Section 3.12 if made on the date of such issuance or sale; and 
 (b) The Company
or such Subsidiary comply with Section 3.9. 
 Section 3.12. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Company
will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions: 
 (i)
declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution of any kind or character (whether in cash, securities or other property) on account of any class of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests or to the holders thereof
(including, without limitation, any payment to the Company’s stockholders in connection with a merger or consolidation involving the Company), other than (a) dividends or distributions payable solely in the Company’s Equity Interests
(other than Disqualified Stock) or (b) dividends or distributions payable solely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and, if such Subsidiary is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company, payable simultaneously to its minority
shareholders on a pro rata basis; 
 (ii) purchase, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity
Interests of the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Company (other than any such Equity Interests owned by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company); 

 (iii) make any principal payment on, or purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or
otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness of the Company or any Note Guarantor that is subordinated to the Notes or the relevant Note Guarantee prior to any scheduled repayment date, sinking fund payment date or final maturity date,
except the purchase, redemption or acquisition by the Company of Indebtedness of the Company or any Note Guarantor through the issuance in exchange therefor of the Company’s Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock); or 
 (iv) make any Investment (other than Permitted Investments) (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through
(iv) being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), 
 unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted
Payment: 
 (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

 (B) at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been
made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, the Company would have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test set forth in
Section 3.13(a)(i); and 
 (C) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted
Payments declared or made by the Company and its Subsidiaries on or after the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of Section 3.12(b) and excluding Restricted Payments permitted
by Section 3.12(c)), is less than the sum of: 
 (1) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period
(taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the Issue Date to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of
such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus 
 (2) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company from the issue or sale after the Issue Date of Equity Interests of the Company or of debt securities of the Company that have been converted into such Equity Interests
(other than Equity Interests (or convertible debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Company and other than Disqualified Stock or debt securities that have been converted into Disqualified Stock), plus 
 (3) with respect to Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made by the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Issue Date, an
amount equal to the net reduction in such Investments in any 

 
Person resulting from repayments of loans or advances, or other transfers of assets, in each case, to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or from the net
cash proceeds from the sale of any such Investment (except, in each case, to the extent any such payment or proceeds are included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income) or from the release of any Guarantee (except to the extent any amounts
are paid under such Guarantee), not to exceed, in each case, the amount of such Investments previously made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in such Person or Subsidiary after the Issue Date.

Stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if on the date when such dividend was declared such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture; (ii) the making of any
Investment in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of other Equity Interests of the Company (other than any Disqualified Stock), provided that any net cash

Payments made pursuant to this clause (v), does not exceed $35.0 million. 
 (c) Clause (C) of Section 3.12(a), however,

all other such Investments in Joint Ventures made on or after the Issue Date, shall not at any time exceed 15% of the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of the Company as of the last day of the quarterly period most recently ended prior to the date of
such Investment for which internal financial statements of the Company are available. 
 (d) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other
than cash) shall be the fair market value (evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee) on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) proposed to be transferred by
the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Restricted
Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by this Section 3.12 were computed, which calculations may be based upon the Company’s latest available internal financial statements.

its Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Company and any Note Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and the Company may issue shares of Disqualified Stock if:

 (i) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of the Company for its most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which
internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro
forma application of the net proceeds therefrom),as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period; and 
 (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; provided that no
Guarantee may be incurred pursuant to this paragraph, unless the Guaranteed Indebtedness is incurred by the Company pursuant to this paragraph. 
 (b) The foregoing provisions will not apply to: 
 (i) the incurrence by the Company of Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund, any outstanding Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant or clause (ii), (x) or

million, less the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales applied to permanently reduce the outstanding amount of such Indebtedness (and to correspondingly reduce the commitments, if any, with respect thereto) pursuant to
Section 3.9;

Subsidiary, or any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of any such Indebtedness does not exceed 100% of the purchase price or cost of the property to which such
Indebtedness relates, (b) the Indebtedness is incurred within 180 days (or 360 days, in the case of such Indebtedness incurred to finance property used in the business of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries that is not organized under the

be permitted pursuant to Section 3.12; and provided further that, for purposes of clauses (a) and (b), (I) in the case of Indebtedness of the Company or any Note Guarantor, such obligations and any trade payables owed by
the Company or such Note Guarantor to any of the Company’s Subsidiaries shall be unsecured and subordinated in case of an Event of Default in all respects to the Company’s or such Note Guarantor’s obligations pursuant to the Notes;
and (II)(X) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company and (Y) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness

longer applies; 
 (viii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations; 
 (ix) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness with respect to letters of credit issued to customers to
secure an obligation to deliver tobacco for which the customer has prepaid the purchase price in cash, but only to the

constitute Indebtedness permitted under this clause (ix); 
 (x) the Guarantee by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness of the Company or another Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to be incurred under another provisions of this Section 3.13;

 (c) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Note Guarantor to, directly or indirectly in any event incur
any Indebtedness that by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) is subordinated to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Note Guarantor, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any
agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or the relevant Note Guarantee to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated pursuant to subordination provisions
that are most favorable to the holders of any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Note Guarantor. 
 Section 3.14. Liens.

 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Note Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
Lien of any kind on any of the Company’s or any Note Guarantor’s assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness unless the Notes, in the case of the Company, or the relevant Note Guarantee, in the case of the Note
Guarantors, are secured equally and ratably with such other Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is by its terms subordinated to the Notes or the relevant Note Guarantees, the Lien securing such subordinated or junior Indebtedness

property or assets of the Person, so acquired, provided that the Consolidated Net Income of such Person is not taken into account in determining whether such acquisition was permitted by the terms of this Indenture, (e) any document or

 (iv) if, as a result of any such transaction, property or assets of the Company would become subject to a Lien securing Indebtedness not excepted from the provisions of this Indenture pursuant to
Section 3.14, the Company or the surviving entity, as the case may be, shall have secured the Notes as required by such provisions; 
 (v) each Note Guarantor (including Persons that become Note Guarantors as a result of the transaction) shall have confirmed by supplemental indenture that its Note Guarantee shall apply for the Obligations of the
surviving entity in respect of this Indenture and the Notes; and

such transaction or series of transactions have been complied with. 
 (b) For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment,
sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the

Section 4.1(d)(iii); 
 (ii) the Company shall pay all Taxes referred to in Section 4.1(d)(i) before
penalties are payable or interest accrues thereon, but if any such penalties are payable or interest accrues, the Company shall make payment thereof when due to the appropriate governmental authority. Within 30 days after each such payment of Taxes,

any Taxes for which the Company is required to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.1(d)(i) hereof and (b) at least 30 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which the Company shall apply this clause (iii), the
Company shall have notified the Holder that the Holder will be required to comply with such requirement; and 
 (iv) for
purposes of Sections 4.1(d)(i), (ii) and (iii), “Taxes” means any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, assessments or fees of any nature (including interest, penalties and

then the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless the Trustee is satisfied with a shorter period), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee select the Notes to be redeemed and/or
give notice of redemption and setting forth the information required by paragraph (c) of this Section 5.3 (with the exception of the identification of the particular Notes, or portions of the particular Notes, to be redeemed in the
case of a partial redemption). If the Company elects to have the Trustee give notice of redemption, the Trustee shall give the notice in the name of the Company and at the Company’s expense. 
 (c) All notices of redemption shall state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date, 
 (2) the redemption price (or, in the case of a redemption pursuant
to the second paragraph (Make-Whole Redemption) of Section (5) of Exhibit A, the formula for calculating the redemption price) and the amount of any accrued interest payable as provided in Section 5.6, 

 (3) whether or not the Company is redeeming all Outstanding Notes, 
 (4) if the Company is not redeeming all Outstanding Notes, the aggregate principal amount of Notes that the Company is redeeming and the
aggregate principal amount of Notes that will be outstanding after the partial redemption, as well as the identification of the particular Notes, or portions of the particular Notes, that the Company is redeeming, 
 (5) if the Company is redeeming only part of a Note, the notice that relates to that Note shall state that on and after the Redemption
Date, upon surrender of that Note, the Holder will receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount of the Note remaining unredeemed, 
 (6) that on the Redemption Date the redemption price and any accrued interest payable to the Redemption Date as provided in
Section 5.6 will become due and payable in respect of each Note, or the portion of each Note, to be redeemed, and, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, that interest on each Note, or the portion of each Note, to
be redeemed, will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, 
 (7) the place or places where a Holder must surrender
the Holder’s Notes for payment of the redemption price, and 
 (8) the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in the notice
or printed on the Notes, and that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of such CUSIP or ISIN number. 
 Section 5.4. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed in Part. (a) If the Company is not redeeming all Outstanding Notes, the Trustee (or the Paying Agent if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent) shall select the Notes to be
redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not then listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by
such method as the Trustee shall (or such Paying Agent) deem fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection from the Outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the
Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. In the event of a partial redemption by lot, the Trustee shall select the particular Notes to be redeemed
not less than 60 days prior to the relevant Redemption Date from the Outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Company may redeem Notes in denominations of $1,000 only in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal
to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000) of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than $1,000. 
 (b) For all purposes
of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of that Note which has
been or is to be redeemed. 

 Section 5.5. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the
relevant Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.4) an amount of money in immediately
available funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes that the Company is redeeming on that date. 
 Section 5.6. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. If the Company, or the Trustee on behalf of the Company, gives notice of redemption in accordance with this Article V, the Notes, or the portions of Notes, called for
redemption, shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the redemption price specified in the notice (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall
default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest) the Notes or the portions of Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with the notice, the Company shall pay the Notes at the
redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). If the Company shall fail to pay
any Note called for redemption upon its surrender for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes. 
 Section 5.7. Unredeemed Portions of Partially Redeemed Note. Upon surrender of a Note that is to be redeemed in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery to the Holder of the Note at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the principal
of the Note surrendered, provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiple of $1,000. 
 Section 5.8. Mandatory Redemption. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.1. Events of Default. 
 (a) The following are “Events of Default”: 
 (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of
interest on the Notes; 
 (ii) default in payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes; 

 (iii) failure by the Company to comply with Sections 3.9, 3.10,
3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 4.1 or 10.1; 
 (iv) failure by the Company to comply with any of its
agreements or covenants (other than those described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)) in this Indenture or in the Notes for 30 days after written notice by the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
outstanding; 
 (v) default under any mortgage, indenture (including, without limitation, the indentures governing the Senior
Subordinated Notes and 11.0% Senior Notes due 2012) or instrument (including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement) under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, which default: 
 (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness at final maturity thereof (a “Payment Default”); or

 (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount
of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness as to which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, exceeds in the aggregate $15.0 million; 
 (vi) the rendering after the Issue Date of a final judgment or judgments or an order or orders against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries for the payment of money not fully covered by insurance in an amount in excess of $15.0 million in the aggregate and either: 
 (A) a creditor commences an enforcement proceeding upon any such judgment or order; or 
 (B)
any such judgment or order remains undischarged or unstayed for a period of 45 days after the date on which the right to appeal has expired; 
 (vii) a Bankruptcy Law Event of Default or the approval by stockholders of the Company of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or 
 (viii) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held to be unenforceable or invalid in a judicial proceeding or ceases
for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Note Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Note Guarantor, denies or disaffirms such Note Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee. 
 The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation
of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 

 (b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default a
written statement in the form of an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. 
 Section 6.2. Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(vii)) occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of all of the then Outstanding Notes may declare by written notice to the Company all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. After such acceleration, but
before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the
non-payment of principal, interest or premium that have become due solely because of such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture. In the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(vii), all
Outstanding Notes will become due and payable without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder. 
 Section 6.3.
Other Remedies. 
 (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the
payment of principal of and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 (b) The
Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default
shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes by notice to the
Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default (a) in the payment of interest or premium (if any)
on, or the principal of, any Note (other than a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or (b) in respect of a provision hereof which under Section 9.2 cannot be amended or waived without the consent
of the Holder of each Outstanding Note. 
 Section 6.5. Control by Majority. Subject to Section 7.1(i), the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the
Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. 

 Section 6.6. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Note will have any right to institute any
proceeding with respect to this Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default and unless the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 30 days. However, such restrictions do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Note for enforcement of
payment of the interest and premium (if any) on, or principal of, such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note. 
 Section 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 6.6), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of or
interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates, Redemption Dates or repurchase date expressed in this Indenture or the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company and each Note Guarantor for the whole
amount then due and owing (together with applicable interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7. 
 Section 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim, etc. 
 (a) The Trustee may (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes is then due): 
 (i)
file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders under this Indenture and the Notes allowed in any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or other
judicial proceedings relative to the Company, any Note Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Company or their respective creditors or properties; and 
 (ii) collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable in respect of any such claims and distribute them in accordance with this Indenture. 
 Any receiver, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such 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, taxes, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7. 

 (b) Nothing in this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder 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 or property pursuant to this Article VI,
it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 
 FIRST: to the Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent for
amounts due under Section 7.7; 
 SECOND: if the Holders proceed against the Company directly without the Trustee
in accordance with this Indenture, to Holders for their collection costs; 
 THIRD: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on
the Notes for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and 
 FOURTH: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount pursuant to Article X from any Note Guarantor, to
such Note Guarantor, or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may, upon notice to the Company, fix a record date
and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In
any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, 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. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.11 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Company, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than
10% in principal amount of Outstanding Notes. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 TRUSTEE, REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT 
 Section 7.1. Duties of
Trustee. 
 (a) If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

 (b) Except during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default: 
 (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; 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,
in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this paragraph (c) shall not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1; 
 (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee
was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 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 6.2, 6.4 or 6.5. 
 (d) 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. 
 (e) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to
the provisions of this Article VII and to the provisions of the TIA. 
 (h) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this
Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company. 

 (i) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this
Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (j) The Trustee may consult with
counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or
suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 
 (k) The Trustee shall not be deemed
to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (l) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits
given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

 Section 7.2. Rights of Trustee. Subject to Section 7.1: 
 (a) The Trustee may rely on any document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains
from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

 (c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of
any agent appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute gross negligence. 
 (e) If the Trustee shall determine, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent
or attorney. 
 (f) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of
individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person
specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 

 Section 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, the Note Guarantors or any of their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar may do
the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
 Section 7.4. Trustee’s
Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall
not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.5. Notice of Defaults. 
 If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the occurrence thereof.
Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the optional redemption or required repurchase provisions of such Note, if any), the Trustee may withhold the
notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 
 Section 7.6. Reports by Trustee to Holders. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 313. The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

 Section 7.7. Compensation and Indemnity. 
 (a) The Company shall pay to the Trustee, the Registrar and Paying Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for their acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Company and the Trustee or the
Registrar or the Paying Agent 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 shall reimburse the Trustee, the Registrar and the
Paying Agent upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by any of them, including costs of collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of
notices to Holders and reasonable costs of counsel retained by the Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel or otherwise, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of agents, counsel, accountants and experts of the Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 (b) The Company and the Note Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify the Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent against any and all loss,
liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by any of them without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part in connection with the acceptance and administration 

 
of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this
Section 7.7) and of defending themselves against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Company, any Note Guarantor or otherwise). The Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall notify the Company promptly of any claim
for which they may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee, the Registrar and
the Paying Agent may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the defense of the Trustee, the Registrar
or the Paying Agent, and, in the reasonable judgment of outside counsel to the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Trustee or the Registrar or the Paying Agent
in connection with such defense. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent through its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

 (c) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee, on behalf of itself, the Registrar and
the Paying Agent, shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. The rights of the Trustee, the
Registrar and the Paying Agent to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.7 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or Indebtedness of the Company. 
 (d) The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or
removal of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(vii), the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
Bankruptcy Law; provided, however, that this shall not affect the Trustee’s rights as set forth in this Section 7.7 or Section 6.10. 
 Section 7.8. Replacement of Trustee. 
 (a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee reasonably
acceptable to the Company. The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with
Section 7.10; 
 (2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 
 (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 
 (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 
 (b) If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes and such Holders do not reasonably 

 
promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein
as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 
 (c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall 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 7.7. 
 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may petition, at the Company’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.9. Successor Trustee by Merger. 
 (a) If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers
all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
 (b) In case at the time such successor or successors to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have
been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been
authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is
anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 
 Section 7.10.
Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual
report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates
of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met. 

 Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply
with TIA § 311(a), 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.

 (a) The Company may, at its option, at any time, elect to have either paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 8.1 applied to all
Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 8.2. 
 (b) Upon the Company’s exercise under
paragraph (a) of this Section 8.1 of the option applicable to this paragraph (b), the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2, be deemed to have been discharged from its
obligations with respect to all Outstanding Notes on the date all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (including Section 8.2(iv)(b)) are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose,
Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be outstanding only for the purposes of Section 8.3 and
the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (b), and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (i) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.3, and as more
fully set forth in Section 8.3, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, 
 (ii) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article II and Section 3.2, 
 (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection
therewith, and 
 (iv) this Article VIII. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this paragraph (b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under paragraph (c) of this
Section 8.1. 
 (c) Upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph (a) of this Section 8.1 of the option
applicable to this paragraph (c), the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2, be released from its obligations under the 

 
covenants contained in Sections 3.9 through 3.18, and 4.1(a)(iii) and (iv) and with respect to the Outstanding Notes on and
after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of
Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be outstanding for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For
this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether
directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a
Default or an Event of Default under Sections 4.1, 6.1(a)(iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and 6.2, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected
thereby. 
 Section 8.2. Conditions to Defeasance. The Company may exercise its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant
Defeasance option only if: 
 (i) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations (or a combination thereof) in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent registered public accountants, to pay the
interest or premium (if any) on, or principal of, the then Outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a
particular redemption date; 
 (ii) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel in the United States acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change
in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes
as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States
acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on (a) the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the 

 
borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit), or (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency
events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; 
 (v) such Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (vi) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating
that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others;

 (vii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; 
 (viii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; and 
 (ix) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless such trust shall be registered under such act or exempt from registration thereunder.

 Section 8.3. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations
deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the deposited money and the U.S. Legal Tender from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of
and interest on the Notes. 
 Section 8.4. Repayment to Company. 
 (a) The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any excess money or securities held by them upon payment of all
the obligations under this Indenture. 
 (b) Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to
the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.

 Section 8.5. Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax,
fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations. 

 Section 8.6. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal
Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII 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 under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of
the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 Section 8.7. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving
rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture, and obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 7.7 of this Indenture) as to all Outstanding Notes when: 
 (a) either: 
 (1) all the Notes theretofore executed, authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in
trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or 
 (2) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee U.S. Legal Tender or U.S.
Government Obligations sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit, together with irrevocable
instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment; 
 (b) the Company has paid all other
sums payable under this Indenture and the Notes by the Company; and 
 (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

 (10) to provide for the issuance of Add On Notes as permitted by Sections 2.2(c) and 2.13, which will have
terms substantially identical to the other Outstanding Notes except as specified in Section 2.13 or 2.14, and which will be treated, together with any other Outstanding Notes, as a single issue of securities. 
 (b) After an amendment under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment.
The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.1. 

 Section 9.2. With Consent of Holders. 
 (a) The Company, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Notes without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of
the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). However, without the consent
of each Holder affected, an amendment may not: 
 (1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an
amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (2) reduce the principal of or premium on or change or have the effect of changing the
fixed maturity of any Notes or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (except as provided for with respect to Sections 3.9 and 3.10 hereof); 
 (3) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including Defaulted Interest, on any

 (5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; 
 (6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive

Note Guarantee which adversely affects Holders in any material respect, except as contemplated in this Indenture;

 (b) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (c)
After an amendment under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect
the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.2. 
 Section 9.3. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every
amendment to this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.4. Revocation and Effect of
Consents and Waivers. 
 (a) A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder
of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver
as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment
or waiver shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents under Section 9.2. 
 (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date, which need not be the date provided for in Section 3.16(c) of the TIA to the extent it would otherwise be applicable, for the purpose of determining the Holders
entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were
Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders
after such record date. No such consent shall become valid or effective more than 90 days after such record date. 
 Section 9.5.
Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms
and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note will execute and upon Company Order the Trustee will authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to
make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 
 Section 9.6. Trustee to Sign
Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment 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 such amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying upon, such evidence as it
deems appropriate, including, without limitation, solely on an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 

 ARTICLE X 
 NOTE GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.1. Note Guarantees. 
 (a) The Company will cause any Person that shall become a Material Domestic Subsidiary concurrently to become a Note Guarantor and to grant a Note
Guarantee of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes by executing a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit F and providing the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel;
provided, however, that each Note Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from its obligations under such Note Guarantee only in accordance with Section 10.2. 
 (b) Each Note Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with
each other Note Guarantor, to each Holder and the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the Obligations (such guaranteed Obligations, the “Guaranteed
Obligations”). Each Note Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this
Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. Each Note Guarantor hereby agrees to pay, in addition to the amounts stated above, any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by
the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under any Note Guarantee. 
 (c) Each Note Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of
payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Note Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Obligations. The obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder
shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any
extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder or the
Trustee for the Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Note Guarantor; or (vi) any change in the ownership of the Company. 
 (d) Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and
waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Obligations. 
 (e) The obligations
of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the 

 
Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Note Guarantor herein shall
not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any
default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Note
Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Note Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 
 (f) Each Note Guarantor further
agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored
by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise. 
 (g) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation
of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against each Note Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by
redemption or otherwise, each Note Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of: 
 (i) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing; and 
 (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law). 
 (h) Each Note Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Note Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand: 
 (i) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note
Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby; and 
 (ii) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall
forthwith become due and payable by such Note Guarantor for the purposes of its Note Guarantee. 
 Section 10.2. Limitation on
Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge. 
 (a) The Obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum
amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Note Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Note Guarantor in respect of the obligations of
such other Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent
transfer under federal or state law. 

 (b) A Note Guarantor will be released and relieved of its Obligations under its Note Guarantee in the
event: 
 (1) there is a Legal Defeasance of the Notes in accordance with Section 8.1; or 
 (2) there is (a) a sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of such Note Guarantor following which such Note Guarantor is no longer
a direct or indirect Material Domestic Subsidiary of the Company or (b) a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Note Guarantor to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company; in each case, provided
that the transaction is carried out pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture. 
 (c) On the date
hereof, there are no Note Guarantors. 
 Section 10.3. Right of Contribution. Each Note Guarantor that makes a payment or
distribution under a Note Guarantee will be entitled to a contribution from each other Note Guarantor in a pro rata amount, based on the net assets of each Note Guarantor determined in accordance with GAAP. The provisions of this
Section 10.3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Note Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Note Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by
such Note Guarantor hereunder. 
 Section 10.4. No Subrogation. Each Note Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any
right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations until payment in full of all Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to any Note Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have
been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Note Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Note Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Note Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee
in the exact form received by such Note Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Note Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations. 
 ARTICLE XI

 FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE 
 8 1/2% Senior Notes Due 2012 
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them
in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
  

	1.	Interest 

 Alliance One International, Inc., a
Virginia corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above.

 The Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date of each year commencing May 15, 2007. Interest on
the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Notes or, if no interest has been paid, from March 7, 2007. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal (plus interest on such interest to the extent
lawful), at the rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and, to the extent such payments are lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest (“Defaulted
Interest”) without regard to any applicable grace periods at the rate of 2.0 % per annum in excess of the rate shown on this Note, as provided in the Indenture. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

 Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York
City time on the date on which any principal of or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such principal and/or interest. The Company will pay
interest (except Defaulted Interest) and Additional Interest to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled, repurchased or redeemed after
the Record Date and on or before the relevant Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in U.S. Legal Tender. 
 Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal and interest) will be made by the transfer of immediately available funds
to the accounts specified by DTC. The Company will make all payments in respect of a Certificated Note (including principal and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that
payments on the Notes may also be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to
such effect designating such account no later than 15 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

 Initially, Deutsche
Bank Trust Company Americas will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any Note Guarantor may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or
co-registrar. 
  

	4.	Indenture 

 The Company issued the Notes under an
Indenture, dated as of March 7, 2007 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), between the Company, the Note Guarantors, the Law Debenture Trust Company of
New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Registrar and Paying Agent. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the
TIA. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms. Each Holder
by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture, as amended from time to time. 
 The Notes are
general unsecured obligations of the Company of which $150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount will be initially issued on the Issue Date. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and without the consent of the Holders, the Company may
issue an unlimited principal amount of Add On Notes. All Notes will be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. 
 The
Indenture imposes certain limitations on, among other things, the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to: incur Indebtedness, make Restricted Payments, incur Liens, make Asset Sales, enter into transactions with Affiliates, or consolidate or
merge or transfer or convey all or substantially all of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets. 
 To guarantee the due and
punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according
to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, each Material Domestic Subsidiary will unconditionally guarantee, jointly and severally, such obligations pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. Each Note Guarantee will be subject to release as provided
in the Indenture. 
  

	5.	Redemption 

 Make-whole Redemption. At any
time, or from time to time, the Company may also redeem all or any portion of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to the sum of: 
 (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus 
 (b) the Applicable Premium, 

 plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. Any notice to Holders of Notes of such a redemption
needs to include the appropriate calculation of the redemption price, but does not need to include the redemption price itself. The actual redemption price, calculated as described above, must be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered
to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. 
 Optional Redemption upon Equity Offerings. At any
time, or from time to time, the Company may, at its option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings to redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued at a redemption price
equal to 108.50% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption; provided that: 
 (i) after giving effect to any such redemption at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued remains outstanding; and 
 (ii) the Company shall make such redemption not more than 90 days after the consummation of such Public Equity Offering. 
 Partial Redemption. In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made in accordance with Article V of
the Indenture. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price
pursuant to the Indenture. 
 Mandatory Redemption. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking
fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
  

	6.	Repurchase Provisions 

 Change Of Control
Offer. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or a portion (equal to $1,000 or in integral multiples thereof) of the Holder’s Notes at a purchase price
in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to
a Change of Control Offer Notice. As more fully described in the Indenture, the Change of Control Offer Notice shall state, among other things, the Change of Control Payment Date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the
date the notice is mailed, other than as may be required by applicable law. 
 Asset Sale Offer. The Indenture imposes certain
limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to make Asset Sales. In the event the proceeds from a permitted Asset Sale exceed certain amounts and are not applied as specified in the Indenture, the Company will be
required to make an Asset Sale Offer to purchase to the extent of such remaining proceeds each Holder’s Notes together with holders of certain other Indebtedness at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest (if any) to the
Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the Indenture. 

	7.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

 The Notes are in
fully registered form without coupons, and only in denominations of principal amount of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among
other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of (i) any Notes selected for
redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) for a period beginning 15 days before the mailing of a notice of Notes to be redeemed and ending on the date of such mailing or
(ii) any Notes for a period beginning 15 days before an interest payment date and ending on such interest payment date. 
  

	8.	Persons Deemed Owners 

 The registered holder of
this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 
  

	9.	Unclaimed Money 

 If money for the payment of
principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the
money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment. 
  

	10.	Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity 

 Subject
to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations for
the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. 
  

	11.	Amendment, Supplement and Waiver 

 Subject to
certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes and (ii) any existing
default (other than with respect to nonpayment or in respect of a provision that cannot be amended without the written consent of each Holder affected) or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure
any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article IV of the Indenture, or to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of Certificated Notes, or to add Note Guarantees with respect to the Notes or to
secure the Notes, or to add additional covenants or surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company, or to comply with the requirements of the SEC in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the TIA, or to make any change that would
provide any additional benefits to the Holder of Notes, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder, or to provide for the issuance of Exchange Notes or Add On Notes. 

	12.	Defaults and Remedies 

 If an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in
the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. 
 Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the
Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it
determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 
  

	13.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 

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

	14.	No Recourse Against Others 

 No director, officer,
employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Note Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture or any Note Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by
reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
  

	15.	Authentication 

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

	16.	Abbreviations 

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

	17.	CUSIP Numbers 

 Pursuant to a recommendation
promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

and that the Notes may not be offered or sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should sell or otherwise transfer any
Notes prior to the date which is two years after the original issuance of the Notes, we will do so only: 
 (a) to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries; 
 (b) to a person whom we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities
Act) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A; 
 (c) outside the United States to a non-U.S. person in a transaction meeting
the requirements of Rule 903 or 904 under the Securities Act; 
 (d) to an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule
501(a)(1), (2) (3) or (7) of the Securities Act (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”)) that, prior to such transfer, furnishes the Trustee (as defined in the Indenture relating to the Notes) a signed letter containing
certain representations and agreements (the form of which may be obtained from the Trustee), and, if such transfer is in respect of an aggregate principal amount of Notes less than $100,000, an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Company that such
transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act; 
 (e) in accordance with another exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, including in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of the investor account
or accounts be within our or their control (and based upon an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Company); or 
 (f) pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, 
 in each of the cases (a) through (f) in accordance with all applicable securities
laws of any U.S. state or other applicable jurisdiction. We further agree to provide to any person purchasing Notes from us a notice advising such purchaser that resales of the Notes are restricted as stated herein, including those described in the
Indenture and in the Offering Memorandum. 
 4) Either (i) the Transferee is not acquiring or holding such Note with the assets of
(A) an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to ERISA, (B) a “plan” described in Section 4975 of the Code, (C) any entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of
any of the foregoing by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in such entity or (D) a governmental plan or church plan subject to applicable law that is substantially similar to the fiduciary responsibility or
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or (ii) the acquisition and holding of such note by the Transferee, throughout the period that it holds such note, does not constitute a
prohibited transaction under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code or any provisions of Similar Law, as applicable. 

 5) We understand that, on any proposed resale of any Notes, we will be required to furnish to the Trustee
and the Company such certification, legal opinions and other information as the Trustee and the Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Notes purchased
by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect. 
 6) We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule
501(a)(l), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and
any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their investment for an indefinite period of time, as the case may be. 
 7) We are acquiring the Notes purchased by us for our account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an institutional “accredited investor”) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion.

 You and the Company are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this
letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

meaning of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder (the “1933 Act Regulations”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
  

 4

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; such financial statements and schedules have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as
otherwise expressly noted in the notes thereto or elsewhere therein); the summary or selected financial information included in, or incorporated by reference into, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum has been fairly

and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in
the Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding disclosure. 
 (m) There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company or any of the Company’s
directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply in all material

the Exchange Act. 
 (n) Each of the Offering Documents (other than the Notes) has been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action of the Company, and the Offering Documents (other than the Notes), when duly executed and delivered by the Company and, as the case may be, by the Trustee, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject, as to the enforcement of remedies, to general equity principles and to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’
rights generally from time to time in effect, and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by federal or state securities laws. 
 (o) The Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action for issuance and sale pursuant to this Agreement and, when executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in the manner provided for in the
Indenture and sold and paid for as provided in this Agreement, the Notes will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms
and the terms of the Indenture, subject, as to the enforcement of remedies, to general equity principles and to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors rights generally from time to time in
effect. The exchange notes to be issued pursuant to the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly authorized by the Company, and when the exchange notes have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and duly authenticated
by the Trustee, all in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the exchange notes will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance
with their terms and the terms of the Indenture, subject, as to the enforcement of remedies, to general equity principles and to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors rights generally from
time to time in effect. 
 (p) The issuance, offering and sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers by the Company pursuant
to this Agreement and the compliance by the Company with the other provisions of the Offering Documents herein and therein set forth do not (i) require the consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of, or filing
with, any governmental authority or court, or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company or its subsidiaries, or (ii) conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed
of trust, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its direct or indirect significant subsidiaries, as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (“Subsidiaries”), is a
party or by which the Company or any of such Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties is bound, or with the charter or by-laws of the Company or any of such Subsidiaries, or any statute, rule or regulation or any judgment, order or 

  

 6 

 
decree of any governmental authority or court or any arbitrator applicable to the Company or any such Subsidiaries in each case except as described in the

offering of the Notes, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with road show presentations and lodging expenses of the
officers of the Company and any such consultants, and (xi) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section. If the sale of the Notes
provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Section 7 hereof is not satisfied, because this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any
failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed 

  

 18 

 
or satisfied hereunder other than by reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers, the Company shall reimburse the Initial Purchasers upon demand for
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Notes. The Company shall not in any event be liable to the
Initial Purchasers for the loss of anticipated profits from the transactions covered by this Agreement. 
 7. Conditions of the Initial
Purchasers’ Obligations. The several obligations of the Initial Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Notes shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 hereof, in each case as of
the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as if made on and as of the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company’s officers made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its covenants and
agreements hereunder and the consummation of the sale and purchase of the Notes and to the following additional conditions: 
 (a) The Initial Purchasers shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Hunton & Williams LLP, counsel for the Company, to the effect set forth in Exhibit C hereto. 
 (b) The Initial Purchasers shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, with respect to
the issuance and sale of the Notes and such other related matters as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such Counsel such documents as it may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling it to
pass upon such matters. In rendering such opinion, such Counsel may rely as to certain matters of Virginia law upon the opinion of Hunton & Williams LLP referred to in paragraph (a) above. 
 (c) The Initial Purchasers shall have received from both Deloitte & Touche LLP and Ernst & Young LLP letters dated,
respectively, the date hereof and the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ comfort letters to underwriters and other
placement agents with respect to the financial information included in and incorporated by reference into the Offering Memorandum. 
 (d) The Initial Purchasers shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Date, of the Chief Financial Officer and the Treasurer of the Company to the effect that: 
 (i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct as if made on and as of the Closing Date; the
General Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, as amended or supplemented as of the Closing Date, does not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Company has performed all covenants and agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date;
and 
  

 19 

 (ii) subsequent to the date as of which information is given in the General Disclosure
Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries has sustained any material loss or interference with their respective businesses or properties from fire, flood, hurricane, accident or other calamity, whether or
not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or any legal or governmental proceeding, and there has not been any Material Adverse Effect, or any development involving a prospective Material Adverse Effect, except in each case as described in
or contemplated by the General Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). 
 (e) Subsequent to the date hereof, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’s debt securities (including the Notes) by any “nationally recognized statistical rating
organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Securities Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the
possible change. 
 (f) The Company shall have been advised by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. that the
Notes have been designated PORTAL-eligible securities in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD relating to trading in the PORTAL Market. 
 (g) The Notes shall be eligible for clearance and settlement through the Depositary. 
 (h) On
or before the Closing Date, the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall have received such further certificates, documents or other information as they may have reasonably requested from the Company. 
 All opinions, certificates, letters and documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement will comply with the provisions hereof only if they are reasonably
satisfactory in all material respects to the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers. The Company shall furnish to the Initial Purchasers such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents in such
quantities as the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall reasonably request. 
 8. Indemnification and
Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchasers and their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each Initial Purchaser and each such person being a “Indemnified Party”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Initial Purchaser or such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:

 (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum,
the General Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Supplemental Offering Materials or any information provided by the Company or any subsidiary or parent thereof, directly or through any Initial
Purchaser, to any holder of the Notes or to any prospective purchaser of the Notes, or to any of their representatives, pursuant to Section 5(i) or any amendment or supplement thereto; or 
  

 20 

 (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. 
 and will reimburse, as
incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action, whether or not such Indemnified Parties are a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of the Company; provided, however, that the Company will not
be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the
General Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Supplemental Offering Materials in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Initial Purchasers
specifically for use therein. 
 (b) The Initial Purchasers will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, its directors, its respective officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
to which the Company, any such director or officer of the Company or any such controlling person of the Company may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the General Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or any amendment
or supplement thereto, any Supplemental Offering Materials or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the General Disclosure Package, the Final
Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Supplemental Offering Materials, necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers specifically for use therein, and, subject to the limitation set
forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director or officer or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or
appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or any action in respect thereof. 
  

 21 

 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of
the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to
notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from any liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the
indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided under this Section 8. In
case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any
other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on advice of outside counsel, that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to
those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select
separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties, provided further that such indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 8(c) to any indemnified party for the legal fees of more than one
counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction, which counsel shall be designated in writing by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC. After notice
from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have
employed separate counsel in accordance with the next preceding sentence or (ii) the indemnifying party does not promptly retain counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of
counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. After such notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such
action effected by such indemnified party without the consent of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any
pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party and such controlling
persons from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
  

 22 

 (d) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding
paragraphs of this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each indemnifying party, in order to
provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is
not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no case shall any Initial
Purchaser be responsible for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to the Notes purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers
on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers. The
relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Company or the Initial Purchasers, the parties’ intents, relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.
The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations
referred to above in this paragraph (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. 
 (e) In
the event that any Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Company or any of its affiliates in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, the Company
agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as a witness, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of its legal
counsel, and to compensate the Initial Purchasers in an amount to be mutually agreed upon. 
  

 23 

 (f) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any
obligations or liabilities that the Company may otherwise have and the obligations of the respective Initial Purchasers under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any obligations or liabilities which the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have.

 9. Survival. The respective representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements of the Company,
its officers, and the Initial Purchasers set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Company, any of its officers or directors, the Initial Purchasers or any controlling person referred to in Section 8 hereof and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Notes. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other
statements set forth in Sections 6 and 8 hereof shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 
 10. Termination. (a) This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Notes in the sole discretion of the Initial Purchasers by notice to the Company given prior to the Closing Date in the event that
the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or, if at or prior to the Closing Date: 
 (i) the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall have, in the sole judgment of the Initial Purchasers, sustained any material loss or
material interference with their respective businesses or properties from fire, flood, hurricane, accident or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or any legal or governmental proceeding or there shall have
been any Material Adverse Effect, or any development involving a prospective Material Adverse Effect, except in each case as described in or contemplated by the General Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment
or supplement thereto); 
 (ii) trading in the Company’s common stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or
trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on such exchange; 
 (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by New York or United States authorities; or 
 (iv) there shall have been (A) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, (B) an
outbreak or escalation of any other insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States or (C) any other calamity or crisis or material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions having an effect on the U.S.
financial markets that, in the sole judgment of the Initial Purchasers, makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes as contemplated by the General Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum,
as amended as of the date hereof. 
  

 24 

 (b) Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without
liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 6 and 8 hereof. 
 11. Defaulting Initial Purchasers. If,
on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated to purchase the Notes of the relevant series that such defaulting Initial
Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date (the “Remaining Notes”) in the respective proportions that the principal amount of the Notes of such series set opposite the name of each
non-defaulting Initial Purchaser in Schedule I hereto bears to the total number of the Notes of such series set opposite the names of all the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers in Schedule I hereto; provided, however, that
the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Notes of such series on the Closing Date if the total amount of Notes of such series which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed
to purchase on such date exceeds 10% of the total amount of Notes of such series to be purchased on the Closing Date, and no non-defaulting Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the amount of Notes of such series that it
agreed to purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or those other purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers who so agree, shall have the right but
not the obligation, to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, all the Remaining Notes. If the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or other Initial Purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers do not elect to purchase the
Remaining Notes, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth herein.

 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company for damages
caused by its default. In the event of such default, the Company or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes in the Transaction Documents or in any other
document or arrangement that, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, may be necessary. 
 12. Information Supplied by Initial Purchasers. The statements set forth in the
2nd, 3rd and 4th sentences of the 4th paragraph and the 2nd,
3rd and 4th sentences of the 7th paragraph under the heading “Plan of
Distribution” in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (to the extent such statements relate to the Initial Purchasers) constitute the only information furnished by the Initial Purchasers to the Company for the
purposes of Sections 2(a) and 8 hereof. The Initial Purchasers confirm that such statements (to such extent) are correct. 
 13. No
Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Notes and any related discounts and
commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such
transaction, each of the Initial Purchasers is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, or its stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) the Initial Purchasers have not assumed
or will not 

  

 25 

 
assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto
(irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and the Initial Purchasers have no obligation to the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations
expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of each of the Company, and (e) the Initial
Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

 14. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, if sent to the Initial Purchasers, shall be delivered or sent by

 15. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers and the Company and
their respective successors and legal representatives, and nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this
Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such persons and for the benefit of no other person except that (i) the
indemnities of the Company contained in Section 8 of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of any person or persons who control any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act and (ii) the indemnities of the Initial Purchasers contained in Section 8 of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company and any person or persons who control the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. No purchaser of Notes from the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed a successor because of such purchase. 
 16. GOVERNING LAW. THE VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 17. Consent to Jurisdiction, Service of Process and Waiver of Trial by
Jury. (a) All judicial proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, which jurisdiction is non-exclusive. 
  

 26 

 (b) Each Party agrees that any service of process or other legal summons in connection
with any proceeding may be served on it by mailing a copy thereof by registered mail, or a form of mail substantially equivalent thereto, postage prepaid, addressed to the served party at its address as provided for in Section 13 hereof.
Nothing in this section shall affect the right of the parties to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 (c)
EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
