SUPERVALU INC.
2012 STOCK PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(For employees)

These Restricted Stock Unit Award Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) apply to the Award of Restricted Stock Units granted to you under the 2012 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “ Agreement”) to which this document is attached.  Capitalized terms that are used in this document, but are not defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan or the attached Agreement.  See Section 19 for a list of defined terms.

1.Vesting and Rights.  Except as otherwise provided below in these Terms and Conditions, you shall vest in the Restricted Stock Units on the date or dates and in the amount or amounts set forth in the attached Agreement if you remain continuously employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates until the respective vesting dates, or until such earlier time or times as may be provided in Sections 4 or 6 below.  The Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the attached Agreement do not and shall not give you any of the rights and privileges of a holder of Common Stock.  Your rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units shall remain forfeitable at all times prior to the date or dates on which such Units become vested and the restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock Units lapse in accordance with the Agreement, this Section 1 and Sections 4 and 6 of these Terms and Conditions.    
2.    Delivery of Shares.  No Shares of Common Stock shall be issued to you prior to the date on which the applicable Restricted Stock Units vest, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the attached Agreement and these Terms and Conditions.  Furthermore, and except as otherwise provided in Sections 4(e) and 4(f), each Share of Common Stock to be issued to you in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit shall be issued promptly after, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days after, the applicable Restricted Stock Unit vests, provided payment of the applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section 3 hereof has been made.  The Company shall cause such Shares (less any Shares withheld to pay taxes) to be delivered to you, free of any restrictions, as follows:
		
	a)
	In the form of a stock certificate registered in your name or your name and the name of another adult person (twenty-one (21) years of age or older) as joint tenants, and mailed to your address;

		
	b)
	In “book entry” form, that is, registered with the Company’s stock transfer agent, in your name or your name and the name of another adult person (twenty-one (21) years of age or older) as joint tenants, with a notice of issuance provided to you; or

		
	c)
	sent by electronic delivery to your brokerage account.  

Only whole Shares of Common Stock shall be issued to you pursuant to this Agreement.  The Company will not deliver any fractional Share but will pay, in lieu thereof, the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share. 
3.    Taxes  
		
	a)
	You acknowledge that you will consult with your personal tax advisor regarding the income tax consequences of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and the receipt of Shares in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units and any other matters related to the Terms and Conditions and the attached Agreement.  In order to comply with all applicable federal or state income, social security, payroll, withholding or other tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action, and may require you to take such action, as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state income, social security, payroll, withholding or other taxes, which are your sole and absolute responsibility, are withheld or collected from you. 

		
	b)
	You acknowledge that you are responsible for the payment of any federal, state, local or other taxes that are required to be withheld by the Company upon vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, and authorize the Company to withhold from other compensation owed to you an amount or amounts sufficient to pay such taxes.  In order to satisfy any applicable federal, state, local or other taxes that are required to be withheld in connection with the settlement of Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise to be issued following vesting of the Restricted Stock Units having a Fair Market Value as of the settlement date equal to the amount of federal and state income tax required to be withheld upon such settlement (commonly referred to as a “Tax Swap” or “Stock for Tax”).

4.    Change of Control

		
	a)
	If, within two (2) years after a Change of Control, you experience an involuntary termination of employment initiated by the Company for reasons other than Cause, or a termination of employment for Good Reason, the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest.  If the Restricted Stock Units are replaced pursuant to subsection (d) below, the protections and rights granted under this subsection (a) shall transfer and apply to such replacement grant.

		
	b)
	If, in the event of a Change of Control, and to the extent the Restricted Stock Units are not assumed by a successor corporation (or affiliate thereto) or other successor entity or person, or replaced with an award or grant that, solely in the discretionary judgment of the Committee preserves the existing value of the Restricted Stock Units at the time of the Change of Control, then the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest.

		
	c)
	In the discretion of the Committee and notwithstanding subsections (a) or (b) above or any other provision, the Committee may fully vest the Restricted Stock Units at the time of a Change of Control and deliver in exchange therefor cash, property or a combination thereof that is determined by the Committee to be at least equal to the value of the consideration that would be received in such Change of Control by the holders of Common Stock. The Committee is under no obligation to treat Recipients of Restricted Stock Units uniformly and has the discretionary authority to treat Recipients disparately.

		
	d)
	In the event of a Change of Control and to the extent that the Restricted Stock Units are assumed by any successor corporation, affiliate thereof, person or other entity, or are replaced with awards that, solely in the discretionary judgment of the Committee, preserve the existing value of the Restricted Stock Units at the time of the Change of Control and provide for vesting terms that are at least as favorable to you as the vesting terms applicable to the Restricted Stock Units, then the assumed Restricted Stock Units or such substitute therefore shall remain outstanding and be governed by its respective terms.

		
	e)
	Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, if your right to receive payment of the Restricted Stock Units constitutes a “deferral of compensation” subject to Code Section 409A, and if the application of the other provisions of this Section 4 would cause a violation of such Code section, then the unvested portion of your Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest at the time of the Change of Control and issuance and delivery of Shares in settlement of such Restricted Stock Units shall occur after such vesting no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the earliest of: (i) such vesting date if the Change of Control also constitutes a “change in the ownership,” a “change in the effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Code Section 409A, (ii) your “separation from service” with the Company within the meaning of Code Section 409A, or (iii) the applicable vesting date or dates set forth in the attached Agreement.

		
	f)
	If the Restricted Stock Units become payable as a result of clause (ii) of subsection 4(e) and if you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A (as determined in accordance with the Company’s policy for identifying specified employees) on the date of your separation from service, then the issuance and delivery of Shares in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be made to you no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the first business day that is six months after the date of your separation from service (or if your death occurs during such six month period, within sixty (60) calendar days after your death).

5.    Transferability.  The Restricted Stock Units shall not be transferable.  More particularly, the Restricted Stock Units may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.  Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Restricted Stock Units contrary to these provisions, or the levy of an execution, attachment or similar process upon the Restricted Stock Units, shall be void.
6.    Effect of Termination of Employment.  If you cease to be an employee of the Company and its Affiliates prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 1 and the Agreement for any reason, other than pursuant to Section 4 or the following terms of this Section 6, then your rights to all of the unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited.
		
	a)
	Death.  If your death occurs while you are employed by the Company or an Affiliate, the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest in full. 

		
	b)
	Disability.  If your employment terminates as a result of a permanent disability, the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest in full.  You shall be considered permanently disabled for these purposes if you suffer from a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that renders you incapable of performing any substantial gainful employment, and is evidenced by a certification to such effect by a doctor of medicine approved by the Company.  In lieu of such certification, the Company shall accept, as proof of permanent disability, your eligibility for long-term disability payments under the applicable Long-Term Disability Plan of the Company.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6(b) to the contrary, if your right to receive payment of the Restricted Stock Units constitutes a “deferral of 

compensation” subject to Code Section 409A, your Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest in full upon your disability.  Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, “disability” shall have the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(4).

		
	c)
	Change in Duties/Leave of Absence.  The Restricted Stock Units shall not be affected by any change of your duties or position or by a temporary leave of absence approved by the Company so long as you continue to be an employee of the Company or of an Affiliate.  The foregoing provisions shall not apply, however, if your right to receive payment of the Restricted Stock Units constitutes a “deferral of compensation” subject to Code Section 409A and your change in duties or position or temporary leave of absence would be considered a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.  In such circumstances, you will be deemed to have ceased employment with the Company and its Affiliates and the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of the Agreement shall control.

		
	d)
	Cause Terminations.  Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or the Terms and Conditions to the contrary, all Restricted Stock Units shall be terminated and forfeited immediately upon your termination of employment for Cause.

		
	e)
	Other Exceptions.  The Committee may determine to accelerate the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units if you cease to be an employee of the Company and its Affiliates prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the Agreement and Sections 1, 4 or 6 hereof for any reason; provided, however, that if your right to receive payment of the Restricted Stock Units constitutes a “deferral of compensation” subject to Code Section 409A, no such acceleration will be permitted if the result of such acceleration would cause a violation of Code Section 409A, and in such case the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of the Agreement shall control.

7.    Recovery Rights.  If your employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated for Cause, or if you breach any of the covenants contained in Section 8 below, the Company shall have the right to recover any Shares received by you in connection with any settlement of Restricted Stock Units that occurred within six (6) months prior to the date on which your employment with the Company and its Affiliates ended, or at any time thereafter.  The Company may exercise its rights to recover the Shares by depositing in the United States mail a written notice addressed to you at the latest mailing address for you on the records of the Company within thirty (30) days following the termination of your employment for the recovery of Shares attributable to Restricted Stock Units that settled prior to any termination for Cause, and within thirty (30) days after the Company’s discovery of any breach of the covenants contained in Section 8.  Within thirty (30) days after the mailing of such notice, you shall deliver to the Company the number of Shares specified by the Company in the notice.  If you have disposed of the Shares, then in lieu of delivering the specified number of Shares to the Company, you must pay to the Company the fair market value of the Shares, determined at the time of the disposition, exclusive of any taxes due and payable or commissions or fees arising from such disposition.  If the Company exercises its recovery rights prior to the actual issuance and delivery to you of any such Shares, no Shares need be issued or recovered.  Rather, you shall immediately forfeit any rights to such Shares.

8.    Employee Covenants.  In consideration of benefits described elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions and the attached Agreement, and in recognition of the fact that, as a result of your employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates, you have had or will have access to and gain knowledge of highly confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets pertaining to the Company or its Affiliates, as well as the customers, suppliers, joint ventures, licensors, licensees, distributors or other persons and entities with whom the Company or any of its Affiliates does business (“Confidential Information”), which the Company or its Affiliates have expended time, resources and money to obtain or develop and which have significant value to the Company and its Affiliates, you agree for the benefit of the Company and its Affiliates, and as a material condition to your receipt of benefits described elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions and the attached Agreement, as follows:

		
	a)
	Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.  You acknowledge that you will receive access or have received access to Confidential Information about the Company or its Affiliates, that this information was obtained or developed by the Company or its Affiliates at great expense and is zealously guarded by the Company and its Affiliates from unauthorized disclosure, and that your possession of this special knowledge is due solely to your employment with the Company or one (1) or more of its Affiliates.  In recognition of the foregoing, you will not at any time during employment or following termination of employment for any reason, disclose, use or otherwise make available to any third party, any Confidential Information relating to the Company’s or any Affiliate’s business, products, services, customers, vendors, or suppliers; trade secrets, data, specifications, developments, inventions and research activity; marketing and sales strategies, information and techniques; long and short term plans; existing and prospective client, vendor, supplier and employee lists, contacts and information; financial, personnel and information system information and applications; and any other information concerning the business of the Company or its Affiliates which is not disclosed to the general public or known in the industry, except for disclosure necessary in the course of your duties or with the express written consent of the Company.  All Confidential Information, including all copies, notes regarding and replications of such Confidential 

Information will remain the sole property of the Company or its Affiliate, as applicable, and must be returned to the Company or such Affiliate immediately upon termination of your employment.
		
	b)
	Return of Property.  Upon termination of employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates, or at any other time at the request of the Company, you shall deliver to a designated Company representative all records, documents, hardware, software and all other property of the Company or its Affiliates and all copies of such property in your possession.  You acknowledge and agree that all such materials are the sole property of the Company or its Affiliates and that you will certify in writing to the Company at the time of delivery, whether upon termination or otherwise, that you have complied with this obligation.

		
	c)
	Non-Solicitation of Existing or Prospective Customers, Vendors and Suppliers.  You specifically acknowledge that the Confidential Information described in Section 8(a) includes confidential data pertaining to existing and prospective customers, vendors and suppliers of the Company or its Affiliates; that such data is a valuable and unique asset of the business of the Company or its Affiliates; and that the success or failure of their businesses depends upon their ability to establish and maintain close and continuing personal contacts and working relationships with such existing and prospective customers, vendors and suppliers and to develop proposals which are specific to such existing and prospective customers, vendors and suppliers.  Therefore, during your employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates and for the twelve (12) months following termination of employment for any reason, you agree that you will not, except on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates, or with the Company’s express written consent, solicit, approach, contact or attempt to solicit, approach or contact, either directly or indirectly, on your own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, any existing or prospective customers, vendors or suppliers of the Company or its Affiliates with whom you had contact or about whom you gained Confidential Information during your employment with the Company or its Affiliates for the purpose of obtaining business or engaging in any commercial relationship that would be competitive with the “Business of the Company” (as defined below in Section 8(e)(i)) or cause such customer, supplier or vendor to materially change or terminate its business or commercial relationship with the Company or its Affiliates.

		
	d)
	Non-Solicitation of Employees.  You specifically acknowledge that the Confidential Information described in Section 8(a) also includes confidential data pertaining to employees and agents of the Company or its Affiliates, and you further agree that during your employment with the Company or its Affiliates and for the twelve (12) months following termination of employment for any reason, you will not, directly or indirectly, on your own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit, contact, approach, encourage, induce or attempt to solicit, contact, approach, encourage or induce any of the employees or agents of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate their employment or agency with the Company or any of its Affiliates.

		
	e)
	Non-Competition.  You covenant and agree that during your employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates and for the twelve (12) months following termination of employment for any reason, you will not, in any geographic market in which you worked on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or for which you had any sales, marketing, operational, logistical or other management or oversight responsibility, engage in or carry on, directly or indirectly, as an owner, employee, agent, associate, consultant, partner or in any other capacity, a business competitive with the Business of the Company.  

		
	i)
	The “Business of the Company” shall mean any business or activity involved in grocery or general merchandise retailing and supply chain logistics, including but not limited to grocery distribution, business-to-business portal, retail support services and third-party logistics, of the type provided by the Company or its Affiliates, or presented in concept to you by the Company or its Affiliates at any time during your employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates.

		
	ii)
	To “engage in or carry on” shall mean to have ownership in such business (excluding ownership of up to one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of a publicly-traded company) or to consult, work in, direct or have responsibility for any area of such business, including but not limited to operations, logistics, sales, marketing, finance, recruiting, sourcing, purchasing, information technology or customer service.

		
	f)
	No Disparaging Statements.  You agree that you will not make any disparaging statements about the Company, its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, employees, products, pricing policies or services.

		
	g)
	Remedies for Breach of These Covenants.  Any breach of the covenants in this Section 8 likely will cause irreparable harm to the Company or its Affiliates for which money damages could not reasonably or adequately compensate the Company or its Affiliates.  Accordingly, the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to all forms of injunctive relief (whether temporary, emergency, preliminary, prospective or permanent) to enforce such covenants, in addition to damages and other available remedies, and you consent to the issuance of such an injunction without the necessity of the Company or any such Affiliate posting a bond or, if a court requires a bond to be posted, with a bond of no greater than $500 in principal amount.  In the event that injunctive relief or damages are awarded to the Company or any of its Affiliates for any breach by you of this Section 8, you further agree that the Company or such Affiliate shall be entitled to recover 

its costs and attorneys’ fees necessary to obtain such recovery.  In addition, you agree that upon your breach of any covenant in this Section 8, the Restricted Stock Units issued under the Plan or any other restricted stock unit plans of the Company will immediately terminate and the Company shall have the right to exercise any and all of the rights described above including the provisions articulated in Section 7.
		
	h)
	Enforceability of These Covenants.  It is further agreed and understood by you and the Company that if any part, term or provision of these Terms and Conditions should be held to be unenforceable, invalid or illegal under any applicable law or rule, the offending term or provision shall be applied to the fullest extent enforceable, valid or lawful under such law or rule, or, if that is not possible, the offending term or provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall not be affected or impaired in any way.

9.    Arbitration.  You and the Company agree that any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to the attached Agreement or the breach of any of these Terms and Conditions, or arising out of or relating to your employment relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates, or the termination of such relationship, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration under the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association, or other neutral arbitrator and rules as mutually agreed to by you and the Company, except for claims by the Company relating to your alleged breach of any of the employee covenants set forth in Section 8 above.  This agreement to arbitrate specifically includes, but is not limited to, discrimination claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and under state and local laws prohibiting employment discrimination.  Nothing in this Section 9 shall preclude the Company from pursuing a court action to obtain a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction relating to the alleged breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 8.  The agreement to arbitrate shall continue in full force and effect despite the expiration or termination of your Award or your employment relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates.  You and the Company agree that any award rendered by the arbitrator must be in writing and include the findings of fact and conclusions of law upon which it is based, shall be final and binding and that judgment upon the final award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The arbitrator may grant any remedy or relief that the arbitrator deems just and equitable, including any remedy or relief that would have been available to you or the Company or any of its Affiliates had the matter been heard in court.  All expenses of arbitration, including the required travel and other expenses of the arbitrator and any witnesses, and the costs relating to any proof produced at the direction of the arbitrator, shall be borne equally by you and the Company unless otherwise mutually agreed or unless the arbitrator directs otherwise in the award.  The arbitrator’s compensation shall be borne equally by you and the Company unless otherwise mutually agreed or the law provides otherwise.

10.    Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units such that an adjustment is necessary in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under these Terms and Conditions and the attached Agreement, then the Committee administering the Plan shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of the number and type of Shares (or other securities or other property) covered by the Restricted Stock Units.

11.    Severability.  In the event that any portion of these Terms and Conditions shall be held to be invalid, the same shall not affect in any respect whatsoever the validity and enforceability of the remainder of these Terms and Conditions.

12.    Interpretations.  These Terms and Conditions and the attached Agreement are subject in all respects to the Plan.  A copy of the Plan is available upon your request.  In the event that any provision of these Terms and Conditions or the attached Agreement is inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the terms and provisions of the Plan shall govern.  Any question of administration or interpretation arising under these Terms and Conditions or the attached Agreement shall be determined by the Committee administering the Plan, and such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties in interest.

13.    No Right to Employment.  Nothing in these Terms and Conditions or the attached Agreement or the Plan shall be construed as giving you the right to be retained as an employee of the Company.  In addition, the Company may at any time dismiss you from employment, free from any liability or any claim under these Terms and Conditions or the attached Agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions or the attached Agreement.

14.    Reservation of Shares.  The Company shall at all times during the term of the Restricted Stock Units reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of these Terms and Conditions and the attached Agreement.

15.    Securities Matters.  The Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares until the requirements of any federal or state securities or other laws, rules or regulations (including the rules of any securities exchange) as may be determined by the Company to be applicable are satisfied.

16.    Headings.  Headings are given to the sections and subsections of these Terms and Conditions and the attached Agreement solely as a convenience to facilitate reference.  Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of these Terms and Conditions or the attached Agreement or any provision hereof or thereof.

17.    Governing Law.  The internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Delaware will govern all questions concerning the validity, construction and effect of these Terms and Conditions and the attached Agreement.

18.    Notices.  For purpose of the Agreement and these Terms and Conditions, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement, these Terms and Conditions or contemplated by either shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed, in the case of the Company, to the Company at:
P.O. Box 990
Minneapolis, MN 55440
Attention:  Corporate Secretary

and in the case of you, to you at the most current address shown on your employment records.  Either party may designate a different address by giving notice of change of address in the manner provided above, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt. 
		
	a)
	Notice of Termination by Company.  Any purported termination of employment of you by the Company (whether for Cause or without Cause) shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to you.  No purported termination of employment of you by the Company shall be effective without a Notice of Termination having been given. 

		
	b)
	Good Reason Notice by You.  Any purported termination of employment by you for Good Reason shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the Company or successor.

If the circumstance is cured or resolved within said thirty (30) days, your termination of employment will not be for Good Reason.

19.    Definitions.  The following terms, and terms derived from the following terms, shall have the following meanings when used in these Terms and Conditions or the attached Agreement with initial capital letters unless, in the context, it would be unreasonable to do so.  
		
	a)
	Cause shall mean:     

		
	i)
	your continued failure to perform your duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Board or an officer of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board or the officer believes that you have not substantially performed your duties;

		
	ii)
	the conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or the willful engaging by you in conduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company;

In each case above, for a termination of employment to be for Cause, you must be provided with a Notice of Termination (as described in Section 18(a)) within six (6) months after the Company has actual knowledge of the act or omission constituting Cause.  Whether a termination of employment is for Cause as provided above will be 

determined by the Company in its sole discretion based on all the facts and circumstances.  For purposes hereof, the term “Company” shall include an Affiliate.
		
	b)
	Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred upon any of the following events:

		
	i)

	iv)
	the program of long term incentive compensation is materially and adversely diminished in comparison to the program of long term incentive compensation as it existed for you on the Change of Control Date (for purposes of this clause (iv), a reduction of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the target dollar amount of your long term incentive compensation as it existed for you on the Change of Control Date based on your most recent award of long term incentive compensation prior to the Change of Control Date shall be considered to be material and adverse); or

	you are required to be based at a location more than forty-five (45) miles from the location where you were based and performed services on the Change of Control Date;  

provided, however, that any diminution of duties or responsibilities that occurs solely as a result of the fact that the Company ceases to be a public company or that the size of the Company has been reduced as a result of the Change of Control shall not, in and of itself, constitute Good Reason.
		
	e)
	Notice of Termination shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific provision in these Terms and Conditions relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for your termination of employment under the provisions so indicated.

 ARTICLE II 

THE SECURITIES 

Section 2.01 Form and Dating. The Securities of each series shall be substantially in such form or forms (not inconsistent
with this Indenture) as shall be established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are
required or permitted by this Indenture and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends or endorsements, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, as may be required to comply with any law, or with any
rules of any securities exchange or usage, all as may be determined by the Officers executing such Securities as evidenced by their execution of the Securities. Unless otherwise so established, Unregistered Securities shall have coupons attached. To
the extent any provisions of any Security conflict with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and control. 

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. 

(a) One Officer of the Issuer must sign the Securities and the coupons appertaining thereto, if any, by manual, facsimile or
..pdf signature. 
 (b) If an Officer whose signature is on a Security or coupon appertaining thereto no longer holds that
office at the time such Security is authenticated, such Security will nevertheless be valid. 
 (c) A Security will not be
valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities, a Security
shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 (d) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Securities of any series having attached thereto appropriate coupons, if any, executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication together with the applicable documents referred to below in this Section,
and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate such Securities for issuance under this Indenture. Such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to electronic instructions from the Issuer or its duly
authorized agent or agents. In authenticating such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive prior to the authentication of any Securities of such series each of the following, and (subject to Article VII) shall be fully protected
in relying upon, unless and until such documents have been superseded or revoked: 
 (i) a Board Resolution and/or executed
supplemental indenture referred to in Section 2.01 and 2.03 hereof by or pursuant to which the forms and terms of the Securities of that series were established; 

(ii) a Company Order; 

(iii) an Officer’s Certificate stating that (A) all covenants and conditions precedent to the issuance, execution,
authentication and delivery of the Securities have been complied with, (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (C) setting forth the form or forms and terms of the Securities, stating that the form or forms
and terms of the Securities of such series have been, or, in the case of a Periodic Offering, will be when established in accordance with such procedures as shall be referred to therein, established in compliance with this Indenture; and 

(iv) an Opinion of Counsel substantially to the following effect, which Opinion of Counsel may contain such assumptions,
qualifications and limitations as such counsel shall 

  
 6 

 
reasonably deem appropriate: (A) the form or forms and terms of the Securities of such series have been, or, in the case of a Periodic Offering, will be when established in accordance with
such procedures as shall be referred to therein, established in compliance with this Indenture and (B) this Indenture and such Securities have been duly authorized and, if executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture and delivered and duly paid for, will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their respective terms, subject
to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding of equity or
law). 
 (e) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Securities
(“Authenticating Agent”). An Authenticating Agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An Authenticating
Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders, the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer. 
 (f) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 2.01 hereof and this Section 2.02, if, in connection with a Periodic Offering, all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Board
Resolution or Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to this Section at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon
original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued; provided that a Company Order shall be delivered in connection with each request to authenticate any Security. 

(g) With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
authorization by the Issuer of any of such Securities, the forms and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents delivered pursuant to this Section, as
applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series. 
 (h) If the Issuer shall establish
pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 2.03 hereof that the Securities of a series or a portion thereof are to be issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities, then the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver one or more Registered Global Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all of
the Securities of such series issued in such form and not yet cancelled, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Registered Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered
by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: 

“THIS SECURITY IS A REGISTERED GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME
OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE AND, UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS
EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE REGISTERED FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO THE NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER
NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.”

 (xix) the
terms upon which beneficial interests in a temporary Registered Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for beneficial interests in a definitive Registered Global Security or for individual definitive Securities;

with the provisions of the TIA, but may modify, amend, supplement or delete any of the terms of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series and Note Guarantees thereof, if any). 

(c) Each Depositary designated pursuant to this Section 2.03 must, at the time of its designation and at all times
while it serves as Depositary, be either a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation or a foreign clearing agency regulated by a foreign financial regulatory authority as defined in
Section 3(a)(52) of the Exchange Act, including Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme. 

(d) All Securities of any one series and coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be substantially identical, except
(i) in the case of Registered Securities as to date and denomination, (ii) in the case of any Periodic Offering and (iii) as otherwise may be provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to in clause (b) above or as
set forth in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to such Board
Resolution or in any such indenture supplemental hereto and any forms and terms of Securities to be issued from time to time may be completed and established from time to time prior to the issuance thereof by procedures described in such Board
Resolution or supplemental indenture. 
 Section 2.04 Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest. 

(a) The Securities of each series shall be issuable as Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities in denominations
established as contemplated by Section 2.03 hereof or, if not so established with respect to Securities of any series, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Securities of each series
shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the Officers of the Issuer executing the same may determine, as evidenced by their execution thereof. 

(b) The Securities of each series shall bear interest, if any, from the date, and such interest and shall be payable on the
dates, established as contemplated by Section 2.03 hereof. 

  
 9 

 (c) The Person in whose name any Registered Security of any series is registered
at the close of business on any record date applicable to a particular series with respect to any interest payment date for such series shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding any
transfer or exchange of such Registered Security subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date. The term “record date” as used with respect to any interest payment date (except a date for payment of defaulted
interest) for the Securities of any series shall mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Registered Securities of such series established as contemplated by Section 2.03 hereof, or, if no such date is so established, the 15th
day next preceding such interest payment date, whether or not such record date is a Business Day. 
 Section 2.05 Registrar and
Paying Agent. 
 (a) The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration,
registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the
Issuer in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar will keep a register of the Registered Securities and the Holders thereof and of the Registered Securities’ registration, transfer and exchange (the
“Security Register”). The Issuer may appoint one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents. The Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer or any Affiliate of any of them may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or
co-Registrar, or agent for service of notices and demands; provided that neither the Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer or any Affiliate of any of them shall act as Paying Agent in connection with the defeasance of the Securities or the
discharge of this Indenture under Article VIII hereof. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent, Calculation Agent and agent for service of notices and demands. 

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the
provisions of this Indenture and the TIA that relate to such Agent. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent and any change in the name or address of an Agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a
Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands, the Trustee shall act as such Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands for so long as such failure shall continue. The Issuer may remove any Agent upon
written notice to such Agent and the Trustee; provided that no such removal shall become effective until (i) the acceptance of an appointment by a successor Agent to such Agent as evidenced by an appropriate agency agreement entered into
by the Issuer and such successor Agent and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as such Agent until the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with clause (i) of this proviso.

 (b) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Registered Security, the Trustee, any Agent and the
Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Registered Security and for all
other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (c) The
Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may treat the bearer of any Unregistered Security and the bearer of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for
all other purposes, whether or not such Unregistered Security or coupon be overdue, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Section 2.06 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee
to agree in writing that such Paying Agent (i) will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal, 

  
 10 

 
premium or interest on the Securities and (ii) will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than Parent, the Issuer or
a Subsidiary of the Issuer) will have no further liability for the money so paid over. If Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all
money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Securities. 

Section 2.07 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list
available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest
payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the Issuer shall otherwise comply with
TIA § 312(a). 
 Section 2.08 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Unregistered Securities (except for any temporary global Unregistered Securities) and coupons (except for coupons attached
to any temporary global Unregistered Securities) shall be transferable by delivery. 
 (b) At the option of the Holder
thereof, 
 (i) Registered Securities of any series (other than a Registered Global Security, except as set forth below) may
be exchanged for a Registered Security or Registered Securities of such series and like tenor, of any authorized denominations and like aggregate principal amount and maturity, upon surrender of such Registered Securities to be exchanged at the
Registrar in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided; 

(ii) if the Securities of any series are issued in both registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise established
pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, Unregistered Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such
Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the Registrar in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have coupons attached, all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto
appertaining, and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided; 
 (iii) if Unregistered
Securities of any series, maturity date, interest rate and issue date are issued in more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for
Unregistered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the Registrar in accordance with Section 4.02
hereof, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have coupons attached, all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided.

 Registered Securities of any series may not be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series. Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

  
 11 

 (c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of a
series at the Registrar in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof and upon payment (if so required by the Issuer) of the charges hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order,
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and maturity. 

(d) All Registered Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall (if
so required by the Issuer) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

(e) No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a Security for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to
Sections 2.11 and 3.08 hereof). 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 2.08, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a Registered Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a
whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series
or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 (g) Registered Global Securities may be exchanged by the Issuer for Registered
Securities of such series in definitive form if: 
 (i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it
is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days after the date of such
notice from the Depositary; 
 (ii) the Issuer in its sole discretion determines that the Registered Global Securities (in
whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Registered Securities in definitive form and delivers an Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Trustee; or 

(iii) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of the applicable
series. 
 (h) If established by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof with respect to any Registered Global
Security, the Depositary for such Registered Global Security may surrender such Registered Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for Registered Securities of the same series in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to
the Issuer and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver, without service charge: 

(i) to each Person specified by such Depositary, new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations
as requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Registered Global Security; and 

  
 12 

 (ii) to such Depositary, a new Registered Global Security in a denomination equal
to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause (i) above. 

(i) Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Registered Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall
be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Registered Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its Participant or Indirect Participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee
shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. The Registered Global Security exchanged shall be canceled by the Trustee. 

(j) All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the
Issuer, evidencing the same Debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

(k) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the forms or terms of any Securities to the contrary, none of the Issuer, the Trustee
or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if the Issuer has determined that such exchange would result in adverse federal income tax consequences to the Issuer (such
as, for example, the inability of the Issuer to deduct from its income, as computed for federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on the Unregistered Securities) under then applicable United States federal income tax laws. The Trustee and
any such agent shall be entitled to rely on an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel in determining such result. 

(l) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required (i) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any
Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Securities for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (ii) to register the transfer of or to exchange
any Securities selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Securities being redeemed in part or (iii) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Registered Security between a record date and the next
succeeding interest payment date. 
 Section 2.09 Replacement Securities. 

(a) If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or the
Issuer, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, will authenticate, in exchange for such mutilated Security or in exchange for the Security to which a mutilated coupon appertains, a replacement Security of the same
series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such mutilated Security or to the Security to which such mutilated coupon
appertains. 
 (b) If the Trustee or the Issuer receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security or coupon, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, will authenticate, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon
appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen), a replacement Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the
coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains. 

  
 13 

 (c) An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the
judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Issuer may charge such Holder for its expenses and the expenses of the Trustee in
replacing a Security. In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in replacing a
Security. 
 (d) Every replacement Security of any series, with its coupons, if any, is an additional obligation of the
Issuer and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Securities of the same series and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder. 

Section 2.10 Outstanding Securities. 

(a) The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those
canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or one of its Affiliates holds such Security;
provided, however, that, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned
by the Issuer or any Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Issuer or any Guarantor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as
outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor of the Securities or any Affiliate of the Issuer
or of such other obligor. 
 (b) If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless and until the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof reasonably satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser. 

(c) If the principal amount of any Security is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 (d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or an Affiliate of the
Issuer) holds on a maturity date money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue. 

Section 2.11 Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities of any series are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and
the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities of any series. Temporary Securities of any series shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities of such series but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations
determined to be appropriate by the Officer executing the temporary Securities of such series, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Securities. If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive
Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender
of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Issuer designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Securities of any series the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of such series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 

  
 14 

 Section 2.12 Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver to the Trustee
for cancellation Securities of any series previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation Securities of any series previously authenticated
hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee Securities of any series surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered
for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of them in accordance with its normal procedure. The Issuer shall not issue new Securities of any series to replace Securities of such series it has paid in full or delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP”
or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice
shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
printed on the Securities. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers for the Securities. 

Section 2.14 Series May Include Tranches. A series of Securities may include one or more tranches (each a
“tranche”) of Securities, including Securities issued in a Periodic Offering. The Securities of different tranches may have one or more different terms, including authentication dates and offering prices, but all the Securities
within each such tranche shall have identical terms, including authentication date and offering price. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, with respect to Sections 2.02 (other than clauses (c) and
(g) thereof) through 2.04, 2.08, 2.09, 2.13, 3.01 through 3.08, 4.02, 6.01 through 6.14, 8.01 through 8.03, 8.06, 10.01, 10.02 and 11.01
through 11.04, hereof, if any series of Securities includes more than one tranche, all provisions of such sections applicable to any series of Securities shall be deemed equally applicable to each tranche of any series of Securities in the
same manner as though originally designated a series unless otherwise provided with respect to such series or tranche pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof. In particular, and without limiting the scope of the next preceding sentence, any of
the provisions of such sections which provide for or permit action to be taken with respect to a series of Securities shall also be deemed to provide for and permit such action to be taken instead only with respect to Securities of one or more
tranches within that series (and such provisions shall be deemed satisfied thereby), even if no comparable action is taken with respect to Securities in the remaining tranches of that series. 

Section 2.15 Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay, or shall
deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay, the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) interest on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. A
special record date, as used in this Section 2.15 with respect to the payment of any defaulted interest, shall mean the 15th day preceding the date fixed by the Issuer for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a
Business Day. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder and to the Trustee a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be
paid.

 ARTICLE III 

REDEMPTION 

Section 3.01 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article III shall be applicable to the Securities
of any series which are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 hereof for Securities of such series. 

Section 3.02 Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all of the Securities of any series are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Securities of such series to be
redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Securities are listed, or if such Securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by
such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection from the Securities of the applicable series not previously called for redemption. 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security of a series
selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Securities may be redeemed in principal amounts equal to authorized denominations for Securities of such series; except that if all of the Securities of a series of a
Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Securities of such series held by such Holder may be redeemed, even if not in the authorized denominations for such Security. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of
this Indenture that apply to Securities of a series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of a series called for redemption. 

If a Security of any series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Security shall state the portion of
the principal amount of such Security that is to be redeemed. A new Security of the applicable series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Security shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Securities of such
series upon cancellation of the original Securities. Securities called for redemption become due on the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Securities or portions of them called for redemption unless the
Issuer defaults in making the applicable redemption payment. 
 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

(a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first
class mail or delivered electronically, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed or delivered electronically more than 60 days prior to a
Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to a series of Securities. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. 

(b) The notice will identify the Securities to be redeemed and will state: 

(i) the Redemption Date; 

(ii) the Redemption Price; 

(iii) if Securities of any series are being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Securities to be
redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Securities, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Securities; 

  
 16 

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

(v) that Securities called for redemption together with coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, if
any, must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price; 
 (vi) that, unless the Issuer defaults in
making such redemption payment, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and the only remaining right of the Holders is to receive payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued interest to the
Redemption Date upon surrender of the Securities to the Paying Agent; 
 (vii) the paragraph of the Securities and/or
section of the Officer’s Certificate or indenture supplemental hereto pursuant to which the Securities are issued pursuant to which the Securities called for redemption are being redeemed; and 

(viii) that, if any Security contains a “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number as provided in Section 2.13
hereof, no representation is being made as to the correctness of the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number either as printed on the Security or as contained in the notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Security. 
 (c) At the Issuer’s request (which request may be revoked by the
Issuer at any time prior to the time at which the Trustee shall have given such notice to the Holders), made in writing to the Trustee at least 60 days (or such shorter period as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) before a Redemption Date,
the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. If, however, the Issuer gives such notice to the Holders, the Issuer shall concurrently deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that
such notice has been given. 
 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed,
Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender of any Securities to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the Redemption Price, plus accrued interest, if any,
to the Redemption Date. 
 Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 12:00 p.m. New York City time on any
Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.05 hereof) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of
and accrued interest to but excluding the Redemption Date on all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for
cancellation. 
 Section 3.06 Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given in the
manner provided above, the Securities or portion of Securities specified in such notice to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to such Redemption Date, and on and
after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Securities at the Redemption Price and accrued interest to but excluding the Redemption Date, in which case the principal, until paid, shall bear interest from the Redemption
Date at the rate prescribed in the Securities), such Securities shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Security for redemption in accordance with a notice of redemption, such Security shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the
Redemption Price; provided that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record date. 

If any Security with coupons attached thereto is surrendered for redemption and is not accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after
the Redemption Date, the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Issuer and the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless. 

  
 17 

 Section 3.07 Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security of any
series that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Security or Securities of such series (with any unmatured coupons
attached), of authorized denominations, equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. 

Section 3.08 Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. 

(a) The provisions of this Section shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series
except as otherwise specified in the Officer’s Certificate or indenture supplemental hereto for such Securities. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a
“Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “Optional Sinking Fund Payment.” The date on
which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the “Sinking Fund Payment Date.” If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided
in clause (b) below. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities. 

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

(c) Not less than 60 days prior to each Sinking Fund Payment Date for any Securities, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof,
if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to clause (b) above and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days prior to each such Sinking Fund Payment Date, the
Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such Sinking Fund Payment Date in the manner specified in Section 3.02 hereof and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer
in the manner provided in Section 3.03 hereof. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03 hereof.

aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any such series that are outstanding may declare all Securities of such series outstanding to be due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
of any such series then outstanding may, by notice to the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of any such series, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this
Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Securities of any such series.

Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series; provided that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in
personal liability or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction; provided further that the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that
is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of the Securities of such series pursuant to this Section 6.05. 

Section 6.06 Limitations on Suits. A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or other remedy, with respect to

For purposes of this Section 6.06 and Section 6.08 hereof, the Trustee shall comply with TIA § 316(a)
in making any determination of whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Securities of such affected series then outstanding have concurred in any request or direction of the Trustee to pursue any remedy available to the
Trustee or the Holders with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such series or otherwise under the law. 
 A Holder may not use

 22 

 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default with respect
to the Securities of any series in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust against the Issuer, a Guarantor or any other obligor of the affected Securities for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, and, to
the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in such Securities, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 Section 6.09
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, a Subsidiary of the Issuer
or any Affiliate of any of them, its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Securities or upon any such
claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in
the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel,
and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI in respect of the Securities
of any series, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee for all amounts due under
Section 7.07 hereof with respect to such series of Securities; 
 Second: to Holders of the Securities of the applicable
series for amounts then due and unpaid for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according
to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: to the
Issuer, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Issuer, may 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 may require any party litigant in such suit to file an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in principal amount of the Securities
of such affected series then outstanding. 

  
 23 

 Section 6.12 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then, and in every such case,
subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Issuer, the
Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 6.13 Rights
and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Securities in Section 2.09, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

Section 6.14 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to the
Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

ARTICLE VII 
 TRUSTEE

 Section 7.01 General. The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the TIA and as set
forth herein. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee need only perform those duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the Securities, and no
implied duties shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it. Whether or not herein expressly so provided, 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.

 Section 7.02 Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to TIA §§ 315(a) through (d): 

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document; 

  
 24 

 (b) before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an
Officer’s 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 such certificate or opinion; 

(c) the Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any
attorney or agent appointed with due care; 
 (d) 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 and liabilities that might
be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture; 

(f) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established
prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate; 

(g) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation
into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer personally or by agent or attorney at the
expense of the Issuer and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation; 
 (h) the Trustee
may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it thereunder in good faith and in
reliance thereon; 
 (i) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible 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 series of
the Securities affected and this Indenture; and 
 (j) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to
the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, co-trustee, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Guarantor or any Affiliates of the Issuer or any Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the
Trustee is subject to TIA §§ 310(b) and 311. 
 Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee
(i) makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Securities, (ii) shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use or application of the proceeds from the Securities and
(iii) shall not be responsible for any statement in the Note Guarantees or the Securities other than its certificate of authentication. 

  
 25 

 Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and
is continuing with respect to the Securities of any series and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail or deliver electronically to Holders of the Securities of such series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days
after it occurs in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA § 313(c). Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, Securities of any series, the Trustee may and shall be
protected in withholding the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities of such series. 

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each calendar year following the date of this Indenture, and
for so long as Securities of any series remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail or deliver electronically to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in
TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the 12 months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b), and transmit by mail or deliver electronically all reports in
the manner required by TIA § 313(c). A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which any Securities are listed, with the Commission and with
the Issuer. 
 Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 

(a) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee and each Paying Agent such compensation as shall be agreed upon in
writing for its services. The compensation of the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee and each Paying Agent upon
request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and advances incurred or made by the Trustee and each Paying Agent. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s or such Paying Agent’s agents and
counsel. 
 (b) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall indemnify the Trustee, its agents and officers, and each Agent against
any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, judgments, actions, claims, suits, proceedings, such reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) of any kind whatsoever which may be
incurred by the Trustee, its agents and officers, or such Agent arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture and Note Guarantees; provided, however, that the Issuer and the
Guarantors need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, obligation, damage, penalty, judgment, action, suit, proceeding, reasonable cost or expense (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) of any kind whatsoever
which may be incurred by the Trustee or such Agent, as the case may be, in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such indemnified party is designated a party to such proceeding) in which and to the
extent that it is determined that the Trustee, its agents and officers, or any Agent acted with negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee and each Agent shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim of which the Responsible Officer of
the Trustee or an officer of such Agent has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or any Agent to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer and the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder, unless
the Issuer and the Guarantors are materially prejudiced thereby. The Issuer or such Guarantor shall defend the claim and the Trustee and such Agent, as the case may be, shall cooperate in the defense. Unless otherwise set forth herein, the Trustee
or any Agent may have separate counsel and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without the Issuer’s consent. 

  
 26 

 (c) To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in
this Section 7.07, the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or any Paying Agent, in its capacity as Trustee or Paying Agent, except money or
property held in trust by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on particular Securities. 

(d) If the Trustee or Paying Agent incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in
clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01 hereof, the expenses and the compensation for the services will be intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable
federal or state law for the relief of debtors. 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the
termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the
successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in Section 7.09. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign at
any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Issuer. The Issuer may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by Company Order given at
least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed removal. 
 (c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed with respect to the
Securities of any series, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. Within one
year after the successor Trustee takes office with respect to the Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee
appointed by the Issuer. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance required by the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.08 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Trustee (at the expense of the Issuer), the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(d) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer,
immediately after the delivery of such written acceptance, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.07 hereof, (i) the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, (ii) the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and (iii) the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to
each Holder. The retiring Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any action or inaction of a successor Trustee. 

(e) If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.11 hereof, any Holder who satisfies the requirements of
TIA § 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any affected series and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  
 27 

 (f) The Issuer shall give notice of any resignation and any removal of the
Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

(g) Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligation under
Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.09 Acceptance of Appointment
by Successor. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one
or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to,
and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) shall contain such
provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall
continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it
being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or
trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective to the extent provided therein, and each successor
Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 

Section 7.10 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If a Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts
into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, trust company or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any
further act shall be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein. 

Section 7.11 Eligibility. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of
TIA §§ 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee (together with its parent) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

Section 7.12 Money Held in Trust. The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Trustee may agree with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and except for money held in trust under Article VIII and Article X of this Indenture.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 LEGAL
DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer
may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Securities of any series
upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII. 
 Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and
Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors 

  
 28 

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

(b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Article II and Section 4.02 hereof; 

(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the obligations of the Issuer and the
Guarantors in connection therewith; and 
 (d) this Article VIII. 

Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding
the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the
Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, be released from their obligations under Sections 4.03 and 4.05 hereof with respect to the outstanding Securities of the applicable series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are
satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of such series will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that Securities of such series will not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of the applicable series and the Note Guarantees of such Securities, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any
other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture, the Securities
of such series and the Note Guarantees of such Securities will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(c) hereof will not constitute an Event of Default. 

  
 29 

 Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

(a) In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof: 
 (i) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities of the applicable series, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of
independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the then outstanding Securities of such series on the Stated Maturity thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must
specify whether the Securities of such series are being defeased to such Stated Maturity or to a particular Redemption Date; 

(ii) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel (or Opinions of Counsel) confirming that (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of issuance of the Securities of the applicable series, there
has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel (or Opinions of Counsel) shall confirm that, the Holders of the Securities of such series that are then
outstanding will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. 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 an election under Section 8.03
hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (or Opinions of Counsel) confirming that the Holders of the then outstanding Securities of the applicable series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. 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 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 liens securing such borrowing) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, any other instrument to which the
Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound; 
 (v) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a
breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 

(vi) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer
with the intent of preferring the Holders of Securities of the applicable series over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others; and 

(vii) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, have been complied with. 

  
 30 

 Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other
Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of
this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Securities of any series will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of
the Securities of such series and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become
due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding
Securities of the applicable series. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or
pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)(i) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to
effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06 Repayment to Company. Any money deposited with
the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has
become due and payable shall, subject to applicable escheat law, be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security will thereafter be permitted to look only to
the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or
such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and
that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. 

Section 8.07 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government
Securities with respect to the Securities of any series in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Indenture, the Securities of such series and the Note Guarantees of such Securities will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be;
provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the
Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

  
 31 

 ARTICLE IX 

NOTE GUARANTEES 

Section 9.01 Note Guarantee. 

(a) Subject to this Article IX, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each
Holder of a Security of a series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities of such series or the obligations of the
Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: 
 (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities of such
series will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Securities of such series, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations
of the Issuer to such Holder or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and 

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of Securities of such series or any of such other obligations, that
same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise. 

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

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with
a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Securities of any series and this Indenture. 
 (c) If any Holder or the
Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid to either the Trustee or
such Holder, the applicable Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of
the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantors for the purpose of the applicable Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.

  
 32 

 (e) Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be
effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Securities of the applicable series are,
pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on such Securities or the Note Guarantees of such series, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent
transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Securities of the applicable series shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 

(f) In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 (g) The Note Guarantee
issued by any Guarantor shall be a general unsecured senior obligation of such Guarantor and shall rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any. 

(h) Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim,
reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 Section 9.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by
its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the United States Bankruptcy Code,
the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby
irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws,
and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article IX, result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 Section 9.03
Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in
Section 9.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee. 

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Securities of a
series, the Note Guarantee of such Securities will be valid nevertheless. 
 Upon execution by a new Guarantor of an indenture supplemental
hereto substantially in the form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor set forth in this Indenture shall be deemed duly delivered, without any further action by any Person, on behalf of such Guarantor. 

  
 33 

 The delivery of any Security of a series by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof
hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture or any supplemental indenture on behalf of the Guarantors who are signatories thereto. 

Section 9.04 Releases. The Note Guarantees of a Guarantor (other than Parent) will be released:

by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Guarantor; 

(b) in connection with any sale, disposition or transfer of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not

 (c) upon the release or discharge of
such Guarantor’s guarantee of the Credit Agreement or under the Debt that triggered such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee; 

(d) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor; provided that no Default or Event of Default shall occur as a result

other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture for the applicable series as provided in this Article IX. 
 ARTICLE X

 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 10.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all
Securities of any series issued hereunder, when: 
 (a) either: 

(i) all Securities of such series that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities of such series that
have been replaced or paid and Securities of such series for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(ii) all Securities of such series that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by
reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness
on the Securities of such series not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the Stated Maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of
Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such 

  
 34 

 
deposit or liens securing such borrowing) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by
which the Issuer is bound; 
 (c) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture with
respect to the Securities of such series; and 
 (d) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable written instructions to the Trustee
under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Securities of such series at Stated Maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 

In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions
precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money
has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a)(ii) of this Section 10.01, the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and Section 10.02 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this
Section 10.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

Section 10.02 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; provided
that such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to
apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Indenture and the applicable Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof;
provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities
to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE XI 

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 

Section 11.01 Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 11.02 hereof, the Issuer, the Guarantors and
the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities or the Note Guarantees of any such series without notice to or the consent of any Holder to: 

(a) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; 

(b) provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; 

(c) provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Issuer or a Guarantor to Holders of such Securities and the Note
Guarantees of such Securities in the case of a merger or consolidation or a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture; 

  
 35 

 (d) make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the
Holders of such Securities or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 
 (e)
comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; 

(f) conform the text of this Indenture, the Securities of any series or the Note Guarantees of any series to any provision of a
description of such Securities in the prospectus or prospectus supplement or other document relating to the offering of such Securities to the extent that such provision in such description was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of
this Indenture or the Securities of such series; 
 (g) add a Guarantor or release any Guarantor from its Note Guarantee if
such release is in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or 
 (h) provide for the issuance of additional Securities
in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture. 
 Section 11.02 With Consent of Holders. 

(a) Except as set forth in Section 11.01 and 11.02(b) hereof, this Indenture, the Securities of any series
and the Note Guarantees of any series of Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities of such series then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection
with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Securities of any applicable series), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Securities of any series or the Note Guarantees
of any series of Securities may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or
exchange offer for, the Securities of any applicable series). 
 (b) Without the consent of each Holder of a series of
Securities affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04 hereof, may not: 

(i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Security of such series; 

(ii) reduce the principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Security of such series; 

(iii) change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Security of such series;

 (iv) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any Security of such
series; 
 (v) reduce the percentage or principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series, the consent of whose
Holders is necessary to modify or amend this Indenture with respect to such series or waive compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or waive certain Defaults with respect to such series; 

(vi) waive a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Security of such series; or 

  
 36 

 (vii) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee
or this Indenture, except as set forth under Article IX hereof; 
 (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent
of the Holders under this Section 11.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 11.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to
the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Issuer will mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 Section 11.03 Revocation and
Effect of Consent. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of such Security or portion of such Security that evidences the same Debt as the
Security of the consenting Holder, even if notation of the consent is not made on such Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of its Security. Such revocation shall be effective
only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of
the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the applicable series. 
 The Issuer may, but shall not be
obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the last two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph,
those Persons who were Holders of the applicable series at such record date (or their duly designated proxies) and only those Persons shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given,
whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of the applicable series unless it is of the type
described in any of clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 11.02(b) hereof. In case of an amendment or waiver of the type described in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 11.02(b) hereof, the amendment or
waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security of the applicable series that evidences the same indebtedness as the Security of the consenting Holder. 

Section 11.04 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security,
the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Security of
the same series thereafter authenticated. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security of the same series that reflects the changed
terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 11.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article XI is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. Subject to the preceding sentence,
the Trustee shall sign such amendment, supplement or waiver if the same does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

  
 37 

 Section 11.06 Conformity with TIA. Every supplemental indenture executed
pursuant to this Article XI shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect. 
 ARTICLE XII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 12.01 TIA Controls. If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by
TIA § 318(c), the imposed duties will control.

Attention: Michael Hopkins 
 The
Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee, by notice to the others may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications. 

All notices or communications to a Holder shall be deemed to have been given upon the mailing by first class mail, postage prepaid, of such
notices to Holders at their registered addresses as recorded in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed in the Security for the giving of such notice. Copies of any such communication
or notice to a Holder shall also be mailed to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time. 
 Failure to mail a notice or communication to a
Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. Except for a notice to the Trustee, which is deemed given only when received, and except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, if a notice or communication
is mailed in the manner provided in this Section 12.02, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it. 

  
 38 

 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by
the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to
the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason
of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. All communication delivered to
the Trustee shall be deemed effective when actually received by the Trustee. 
 Neither the failure to give any notice to a particular
Holder, nor any defect in any notice given to any particular Holder, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice given to another Holder. 

Section 12.03 Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Issuer to the
Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, if the Trustee so requests: 

(a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for
in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and 
 (b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in
the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with. 
 Section 12.04 Statements Required in
Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include: 

(a) a statement that each person signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions
herein relating thereto; 
 (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which
the statement or opinion contained in such certificate or opinion is based; 
 (c) a statement that, in the opinion of each
such person, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 

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

Section 12.05 Rules by Trustee and Agents. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders.
The Paying Agent or Registrar may make reasonable rules for its functions. 
 Section 12.06 Governing Law. THE INTERNAL
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OF ANY SERIES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES. 

Section 12.07 No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture,
loan or debt agreement of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture. 

  
 39 

 Section 12.08 No Personal Liability of Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers,
Directors, or Employees. No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of any series issued under this Indenture or for any claim based on this Indenture or otherwise in respect
hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer or any Guarantor in this Indenture, or in the Securities of any series or the Note Guarantees or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented
thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or controlling person of the Issuer, any Guarantor or of any successor Person thereof. Each Holder, by accepting the Securities of the applicable series, waives
and releases all such liability. 
 Section 12.09 Successors. All agreements of the Issuer in this Indenture and the
Securities of any series shall bind their successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. All agreements of each Guarantor in this Indenture will bind its successors, except as otherwise provided in
Section 9.04 hereof. 
 Section 12.10 Evidence of Ownership. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the Holder of any Unregistered Security and the Holder of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or coupon (whether or not such Unregistered Security or coupon shall be overdue) for
the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The fact of the holding by
any Holder of an Unregistered Security, and the identifying number of such Security and the date of his holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Security or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker or recognized
securities dealer wherever situated satisfactory to the Trustee, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Security bearing a specified
identifying number was deposited with or exhibited to such trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer by the Person named in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Unregistered Securities
specified therein. The holding by the Person named in any such certificate of any Unregistered Securities specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any
determination of such holding (1) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Securities shall be produced or (2) the Security specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other Person or (3) the
Security specified in such certificate shall have ceased to be outstanding. Subject to Article VII, the fact and date of the execution of any such instrument and the amount and numbers of Securities held by the Person so executing such
instrument may also be proven in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in any other manner which the Trustee may deem sufficient. 

The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Registered Security shall
be registered upon the Security Register for such series as the absolute owner of such Registered Security (whether or not such Registered Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the
purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, premium or interest on such Registered Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of
the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 Section 12.11 Counterpart Originals. The
parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Indenture by facsimile, .pdf
attachment, email or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Indenture. 

  
 40 

 Section 12.12 Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the
Securities of any series shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

Section 12.13 Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. The Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Table and
headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms and provisions hereof.
