 ARTICLE II 

THE COMMITMENTS AND LOANS 

Section 2.01 The Loans. 

(a) Each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (each a “Term Loan” and collectively, the
“Term Loans”) to the Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, which loans shall be disbursed in a single advance on the Closing Date in a principal amount equal to 99.5% of such Lender’s
Term Loan Commitment; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the principal amount of each Term Loan made hereunder shall be an amount equal to 100% of each Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. 

(b) Lenders may, but shall not be required to, agree to commit to make additional Loans if requested by the Borrower pursuant
to Section 2.11. 
 (c) Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 which are repaid or prepaid may not
be reborrowed. 
 Section 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. (a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans
of any Class from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone or email. Each such notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base
Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan
Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. It is understood that a Loan Notice may be signed by: (i) means of a facsimile or stamp signature of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or (ii) by
another officer of the Borrower who has been authorized to make such request and for which the Administrative Agent has received such documentation as it may reasonably request regarding such authorizations and specimen signature. Each Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $250,000 or a
whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans, (ii) the Class of Loans being borrowed, converted or continued, (iii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the principal amount of Loans
to be borrowed, converted or continued, (v) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify
a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic 

  
 45 

 
conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a
Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 

(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its
Applicable Class Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans
described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan of the applicable Class available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s
Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01, with respect to the Term Loan advances made on the Closing Date,
the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent at the Borrower’s option either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of
America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower. 

(c) A Eurodollar Rate Loan may be converted only on any day in accordance with Section 2.02(a), regardless of
whether such conversion date is the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan, subject to any amounts due under Section 3.05(a). During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or
continued as Eurodollar Rate Revolving Credit Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. 
 (d) The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 

(e) After giving effect to all conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans as the
same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 Section 2.03
Prepayments. (a) Optional. (i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans of any Class in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided
that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:30 p.m. (3) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans;
(B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a 

  
 46 

 
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in
each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) and Class of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the
Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Class Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the
amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.12, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the applicable Class of Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Class Percentages. 
 (ii)(1) If the Borrower makes a prepayment of any Term Loan pursuant to
Section 2.03(a) in connection with a Repricing Transaction or (2) the Term Loans are otherwise subject to a Repricing Transaction, in each case, the Borrower shall pay a premium in respect of the principal amount of Term Loans that
are subject to such prepayment or Repricing Transaction in an amount equal to 1.00% of such principal amount if such prepayment or Repricing Transaction occurs prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date. Each such prepayment shall
be applied to the principal installments of the applicable Loans in the manner directed by the Borrower (or, if no such direction is provided, in the direct order of maturity of such installments) for the benefit of the applicable Class of the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Class Percentages. 
 (b) Mandatory. Until such time as the
Outstanding Amount has been repaid in full, the Outstanding Amount shall be permanently prepaid in the amounts set forth below upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 

(i) Within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a)
and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), beginning for the period of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans as hereafter provided in an aggregate
amount equal to (i) 25% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements less (ii) the amount of any voluntary prepayments made on the Term Loan during such fiscal year; provided, however, if the
Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than 3.25 to 1.0, then the Borrower shall not be required to make the foregoing payment for such fiscal year. 

(ii) Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale with respect to Collateral,
the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans and, if so provided in the Incremental Term Supplement applicable thereto, Incremental Term Loans, in an aggregate amount equal to the Excess Asset Sale Proceeds at such time.  

  
 47 

 (iii) In the event of any Debt Issuance on or after the Closing Date, the
Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans and, if so provided in the Incremental Term Supplement applicable thereto, Incremental Term Loans, in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom within five (5) Business
Days of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds. 
 (iv) If Net Cash Proceeds of Extraordinary Receipts received on or after the
Closing Date by any Loan Party exceed during any calendar year an amount equal to $50,000,000 (the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that exceeds $50,000,000 is herein referred to as “Excess Extraordinary Receipts”) the
Borrower shall prepay an aggregate amount of Term Loans and, if so provided in the Incremental Term Supplement applicable thereto, Incremental Term Loans, equal to 100% of such Excess Extraordinary Receipts within five (5) Business Days of
receipt thereof by such Loan Party; provided, however, that, for so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Loan Party may reinvest such Extraordinary Receipts in assets used in the businesses of the
Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, and in such case any such Extraordinary Receipts that have not been reinvested within 365 days from the receipt thereof shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans and, if so provided in
the Incremental Term Supplement applicable thereto, Incremental Term Loans as set forth herein; provided, further, that, if any Loan Party has entered into a binding commitment to reinvest any portion of the Excess Extraordinary
Receipts in accordance with the foregoing proviso within such 365 day period, then the prepayment using such portion of the Excess Extraordinary Receipts shall not be required until the date that is 730 days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.

 provided in each case, that if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Borrower is required to offer to repurchase any other
Indebtedness permitted to be incurred hereunder pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the Net Cash Proceeds of such transaction or event (such Indebtedness required to be offered to be so repurchased,
“Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrower may apply such Net Cash Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and, if so provided in the
Incremental Term Loan Supplement applicable thereto, Incremental Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time); provided, further, that (A) the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness
shall not exceed the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans and,
if so provided in the Incremental Term Loan Supplement applicable thereto, Incremental Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof to the prepayment of the Term Loans and, if applicable, the Incremental Term Loans, and the amount of prepayment of
the Term Loans and, if applicable, the Incremental Term Loans, that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) shall be reduced accordingly and (B) to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness
decline to have such indebtedness repurchased or prepaid, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans and, if so provided in the
Incremental Term Loan Supplement applicable thereto, Incremental Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof. 

  
 48 

 All Net Cash Proceeds not applied pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) or
Section 7.04(b) may be used by the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries for general corporate purposes. 

(c) Each prepayment of Term Loans and, if so provided in the Incremental Term Supplement applicable thereto, Incremental Term
Loans, required to be made pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2.03 shall be applied ratably to all outstanding Term Loans (provided that any Class of Incremental Term Loans may specify that one or more other
Classes of Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans may be prepaid prior to such Class of Incremental Term Loans) and, if so provided in the Incremental Term Supplement applicable thereto, Incremental Term Loans, and the principal repayment
installments thereof shall be applied pro rata. Within the foregoing parameters, prepayments shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Rate Loans. 

(d) If the Borrower is required to make a mandatory prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans under this Section 2.03 at
any time that is other than the end of the current Interest Periods, and provided that no Default shall then exist, the Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full prior to the end of an Interest Period, to defer the
making of such prepayment until the last day of the current Interest Periods applicable thereto. 
 Section 2.04 Repayment of Loans.
The Borrower agrees to repay to the Lenders in quarterly installments of principal, each of which shall be equal to 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans. The first such payment shall be made on September 30, 2014
and each subsequent payment shall be made thereafter on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, with a final payment due in respect of any Term Loans on the Maturity Date in an amount equal to the Outstanding Amount
of the applicable Class of Loans as of such date. Each of the foregoing provisions in this Section 2.04 shall apply equally to Incremental Term Loans unless otherwise provided in the applicable Incremental Term Supplement. Each time that
additional Loans are made pursuant to increases in Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11, the amount of the remaining installments of principal shall be adjusted so that each such remaining installment is in an amount equal to 0.25% of
the principal amount of all Loans outstanding on the date that such additional Loans are made (including the amount of the additional Loans made on such date). 

Section 2.05 Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 

(b)(i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at
Stated Maturity, by acceleration or 

  
 49 

 
otherwise, such amount shall thereafter, bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due
(without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders such amount shall thereafter, bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all
times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (iii) Upon the request of the Required
Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due
interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 
 Section 2.06 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent
for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

Section 2.07 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the
“prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which
results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the
day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.09(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent
of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 Section 2.08 Evidence of
Debt. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative
Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or
otherwise affect the obligation of the 

  
 50 

 
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations hereunder. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date,
Type (if applicable), Class, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 Section 2.09 Payments Generally;
Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available
funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage or Applicable Class Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in
like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees,
as the case may be. 
 (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 Noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.
In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the
case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided that if such demand is
made after the time the Borrower may request funding of available amounts of Base 

  
 51 

 
Rate Loans, such payment by the Borrower shall not be due until the next succeeding Business Day. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same
or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the
amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the
Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) Payments by Borrower: Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume
that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to
it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this
subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions
Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such
Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 
 (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders
hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder
shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c). 

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 

  
 52 

 (f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by
and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal then due to such parties. 
 Section 2.10 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Secured Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of
(1) the amount of such Secured Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Secured Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Secured
Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Secured Obligations owing (but not due
and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such
time) of payment on account of the Secured Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all
such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Secured Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, as
the case may be, provided that: 
 (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery without interest; and 

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the
Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment
of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 

  
 53 

 The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor
of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 Section 2.11 Increase in Commitments. (a) Request for Increase.
Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time or would result therefrom, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may at any time and from time
to time, request an increase in Loans (which increase may take the form of new term loan commitments (“Incremental Term Commitments”) and loans (“Incremental Term Loans”)) under an Incremental Term
Facility in an aggregate amount not exceeding the Available Incremental Amount; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with
the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders by the Administrative
Agent). With respect to any Incremental Term Facility, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Term Lenders party thereto shall enter into a supplement to this Agreement (an “Incremental
Term Supplement”) and such Incremental Term Supplement shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to any Incremental Term Facility, which, to the extent that they are in the aggregate materially more adverse to the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the terms and conditions relating to the Term Facility, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (except to the extent that they are consistent with clause (e) below). 

(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or
not it agrees to increase its Commitment, and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its ratable portion (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the Term Facility) of such requested increase. Any
Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. The Borrower is entitled to elect, in its discretion, Incremental Term Lenders from among the existing Lenders and any additional banks,
financial institutions and other institutional lenders or investors, subject to the consent of (i) such proposed Incremental Term Lender and (ii) the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Subject to the
approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and its counsel. 
 (c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. 

  
 54 

 (d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Commitments and/or Loans are
increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders, including the proposed new lenders, as applicable, of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. Such amendment may be signed by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders. 
 (e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, (1) the
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of Parent certifying that, immediately after giving
effect to such increase in Term Loans or Incremental Term Facility, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date,
except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this
Section 2.11, the representations and warranties contained in subsection (a) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clause (a) of
Section 6.01, and (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time or would result from the increase in Term Loans or Incremental Term Facility on such Increase Effective Date, (2) all fees
and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with such increase in Term Loans or Incremental Term Facility shall have been paid on or prior to the Increase Effective Date to the extent provided in the applicable Incremental
Term Supplement, (3) with respect to each Incremental Term Facility, such Incremental Term Facility shall (i) not have a final maturity date earlier than the Maturity Date applicable to the Term Facility or a Weighted Average Life to
Maturity shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Facility and (ii) be secured by either a pari passu or junior lien on the Collateral, (4) the Applicable Rate for the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined
by the Borrower and the lenders thereof; provided, that, in the case of any Incremental Term Loans that are secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu with the Lien securing the Term Loans, (A) in the event that the
applicable margin for any Incremental Term Loans Incurred under such Incremental Term Facility exceeds the applicable margin for the Term Loans by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Rate for the Term Loans shall be adjusted so that the
applicable margin for the Incremental Term Loans under such Incremental Term Facility does not exceed the applicable margin for the Term Loans by more than 50 basis points; provided, further, that the determination of the applicable
margin for the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans under the Incremental Term Facility shall include the following items: (x) interest rate margins and (y) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which
shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable to the Lenders in the primary syndication thereof (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity) and shall exclude customary arrangement or commitment
fees payable to the arrangers (or their affiliates) of such loans and (B) in the event that the Eurodollar Rate floor and/or Base Rate floor applicable to the Incremental Term Facility is greater than the Eurodollar Rate floor or Base Rate
floor, respectively, applicable to the Term 

  
 55 

 
Loans, the Eurodollar Rate floor and/or Base Rate floor applicable to the Term Loans shall be adjusted to match such Eurodollar Rate floor or Base Rate floor applicable to the Incremental Term
Loans but only to the extent an increase in the Eurodollar Rate floor or Base Rate floor applicable to the Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the Eurodollar Rate floor and Base Rate
floor (but not the Applicable Rate) applicable to the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential between interest rate floors, and (5) subject to clause (4)(i), the amortization schedule applicable to the
Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereof. 
 (f) Funding. On each
Increase Effective Date, each applicable Lender or other bank, financial institution or other institutional lender or investor that is providing an Incremental Term Commitment shall make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower in a principal amount
equal to such Lender’s or Person’s Incremental Term Commitment pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.02. Any Incremental Term Loan shall be a “Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. 
 (g) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.10 or Section 10.01 to the contrary. 
 Section 2.12 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting lender, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law: 
 (i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any
amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01. 

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;
second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined
by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under
this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default 

  
 56 

 
exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of
that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a
Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion
that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein,
that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the
Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting
Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

Section 2.13 Discounted Voluntary Prepayments. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.03(a) (which shall not be applicable to
this Section 2.16), the Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to offer (a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Offer”) to prepay Loans under the Facility at a discount to the par value of
such Loans and on a non pro rata basis (a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 2.13; provided,
however, that (A) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered to all Lenders with Loans outstanding on a pro rata basis (which such Lenders shall be allowed to offer all or a part of such
Lender’s Term Loans for prepayment), (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (C) the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
certificate stating that (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (2) each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment contained in this
Section 2.13 has been satisfied and (3) none of Parent, Borrower or any other Loan Party has any Private Side Information that has not been disclosed to the Lenders generally (other than those Lenders who have elected to not receive
any Private Side Information with respect to the Loan Parties) and (D) no more than one Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Offer may be issued and pending at any one time and no more than five Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Offers may be made in
any one Fiscal Year (in each case unless the Administrative Agent consents in its reasonable discretion). 

  
 57 

 (b) The Borrowers must terminate any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Offer if
they fail to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above in Section 2.13(a) that are required to be met at the time at which the Term Loans would have been prepaid pursuant to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Offer. If the
Borrowers commence any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Offer (and all relevant requirements set forth above that are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Offer have in fact been satisfied),
and if at such time of commencement the Borrowers reasonably believe that all required conditions set forth above that are required to be satisfied at the time of the consummation of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Offer shall be satisfied,
then the Borrowers shall have no liability to any Term Lender or any other Person for any termination of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Offer as a result of their failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above that are
required to be met at the time that otherwise would have been the time of consummation of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Offer, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. All Term Loans prepaid by the
Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the par principal amount so prepaid to, but not including, the date of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment. The par principal amount of Term Loans
prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) shall be applied to reduce the final installment payment of the Term B Repayment Amounts and New Term Loan Repayment Amounts, as the case may be. 

(c) Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Offer shall comply with the Auction Procedures and any such other procedures
established by the Auction Manager in its reasonable discretion and agreed to by the Borrowers. 
 (d) The Auction Manager
acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article IX and Section 10.04 to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a
reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each
Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Offer. 
 (e) This Section 2.13 shall neither (A) require the Borrowers to
undertake any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Offer nor (B) limit or restrict the Borrowers from making voluntary prepayments of Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.03(a). 

ARTICLE III 
 TAXES,
YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 Section 3.01 Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold;
Payments on Account of Taxes. 
 (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any
Loan Document shall be made without deduction or 

  
 58 

 
withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or
withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then (A) the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and
documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required
withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
withholding or deduction been made. 
 (ii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to
withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative
Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or
the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or
deduction been made. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection
(a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(c) Tax Indemnifications. 

(i) Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in
respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid
by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the 

  
 59 

 
amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Loan Parties shall also, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (Section 3.01) days after demand
therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below. 

(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten
(10) days after demand therefor, (A) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified
Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (B) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of
Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (C) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, that are payable or paid by the
Administrative Agent or a Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and
all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). 

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any
payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the
Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 
 (e) Status of Lenders; Tax
Documentation. 
 (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if 

  
 60 

 
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences,
the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), Section 3.01(e)(ii)(B) and Section 3.01(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if
in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person, 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on
which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from,
or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c)
of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of 

  
 61 

 Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a
“bank” within the meaning of
 Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS
Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that
if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
 (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is
legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding
Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has
complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement. 

  
 62 

 (iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously
delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability
to do so. 
 (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative
Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient determines, in
its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 3.01, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund),
provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient
in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to such Loan Party
pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted,
withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person. 
 (g) Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Secured Obligations. 
 Section 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any
applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar
Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London
interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate 

  
 63 

 
Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the
interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent
without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such
notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of
such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or
charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the
Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 
 Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. (a) If in connection with any
request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (a) the Administrative Agent determines that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable
amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection
with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to clause (a), “Impacted Loans”, or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurodollar Rate for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.
Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the
preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of
the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan or
Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a)(i) of this
Section, the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower and the Required Lenders, may establish an alternative 

  
 64 

 
interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice
delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a)(i) of this Section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable
Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material
restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof. 

Section 3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
requirement against assets of deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) ; 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital
attributable thereto; or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense
affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or
to increase the cost to such Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may
be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines
that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such 

  
 65 

 
Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration
such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for
Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and
delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for
any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s
intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof). 
 Section 3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from
time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last
day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue
or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 
 (c) any
assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13; 

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan
or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 

  
 66 

 For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05,
each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a
comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
 Section 3.06 Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any
Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of the Borrower, such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or
Section 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed
cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is
required to pay Indemnified Taxes or any additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a
different lending office in accordance with Section 3.06(a) (or, with respect to a designation or assignment made pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(i), if such designation or assignment is insufficient to eliminate amounts payable
pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, as the case may be), the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13. 

Section 3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate
Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

statement, certificate or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or
under any other Loan Document (in each case as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the

time. 
 Section 5.16 Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary thereof is in compliance in all material respects
with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in

Indebtedness becomes absolute and matures, (b) each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties will not have incurred or intended to incur, and will not believe that it will incur, Indebtedness beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness (after
taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of its liabilities, and giving effect to amounts that could reasonably be received by
reason of indemnity, offset, insurance or any similar arrangement) as such Indebtedness becomes absolute and matures and (c) each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties will not have (and will have no reason to believe that it will have

securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly
and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed
to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its
securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.07);
(y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are 

  
 80 

 
permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall

Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under
Section 7.01(a)(3) or represent Permitted Investments, as determined by the Borrower. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Subsidiary so designated otherwise meets the
definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that Section 7.03 need not be complied with if the Subsidiary to be so designated has total assets of $1,000 or less. 

(c) The Board of the Borrower may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if
(1) all Indebtedness, Liens and Investments of such Subsidiary outstanding or in existence immediately following such designation would, if incurred or made at such time by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower, have been permitted to be
incurred or made for all purposes of this Agreement and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower, except (A) a payment of interest or principal within one year of the Stated
Maturity thereof or (B) payments on Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower; or 

(iv) make any Restricted Investment; 

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively referred to as
“Restricted Payments”) unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:  

(1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

 (2) the Borrower could, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such
Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 7.03(a); and 

(3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Borrower or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Closing Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii), (xiii), (xiv) and (xvi) of Section 7.01(b)) after the
date hereof is less than the sum (the “Restricted Payments Basket”), without duplication, of: 
 (A)
50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Borrower on a cumulative basis during the period (taken as one accounting period) beginning on October 1, 2011 and ending on the last day of the Borrower’s last fiscal quarter ending prior to the
date of such proposed Restricted Payment for which internal financial statements are available (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus  

(B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Borrower (including the fair market value of any Permitted
Business or long-term assets that 

  
 86 

 
are used or useful in a Permitted Business to the extent acquired in consideration of Equity Interests of the Borrower (other than Disqualified Stock)) since the date of this Agreement as a
contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Borrower (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt
securities of the Borrower that have been converted into or exchanged for Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Borrower), plus 
 (C) 100% of the aggregate amount by which Indebtedness (other than any Subordinated Indebtedness
or Indebtedness held by a Subsidiary of the Borrower) of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is reduced on the Borrower’s consolidated balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange subsequent to the date of this Agreement of any such
Indebtedness convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower (plus the amount of any accrued interest then outstanding on such Indebtedness to the extent the obligation to pay such interest is
extinguished less the amount of any cash, or the fair market value of any property (as determined in good faith by an officer of the Borrower), distributed by the Borrower upon such conversion or exchange); provided, however, that the
foregoing amount shall not exceed the net cash proceeds received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from the sale of such Indebtedness (excluding net cash proceeds from sales to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower), plus  

(D) an amount equal to the sum of (i) the net reduction in Restricted Investments made by the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary in any Person resulting from repurchases, repayments or redemptions of such Investments by such Person and proceeds (including the fair market value of marketable securities or other property) realized on the sale or other disposition of
any Restricted Investments and proceeds representing the return of capital (excluding dividends and distributions to the extent included in Consolidated Net Income), in each case received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since the date
of this Agreement, and (ii) to the extent such Person is an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the portion (proportionate to the Borrower’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of such Unrestricted
Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that to the extent the foregoing sum exceeds, in the case of any such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Restricted
Investments previously made (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary since the date of this Agreement, such excess shall not be included in this clause (d)
unless the amount represented by such excess has not been and will not be taken into account in one of the foregoing clauses (a) through (c). 

  
 87 

 (b) Section 7.01(a) will not prohibit: 

(i) the payment of a dividend or distribution on the Closing Date to Parent in the amount of the net proceeds of the Term Loans
made on the Closing Date to be used for the repayment of the Existing Credit Agreement; 
 (ii) the payment of any dividend
or distribution to Parent to allow Parent to provide for or make periodic interest payments on the 2022 Notes; 
 (iii) the
payment of any dividend or distribution or the consummation of any redemption within 60 days after the date of its declaration or giving of redemption notices, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice the payment would have
complied with the provisions of this Agreement; 
 (iv) the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the
Net Cash Proceeds of, the substantially concurrent contribution (other than from a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower) to the equity capital of the Borrower or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower) of the Borrower’s
Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock), with such payment being deemed “substantially concurrent” if made not more than 120 days after such contribution to equity capital or sale of Equity Interests of the Borrower; provided,
however, that the amount of any such Net Cash Proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from the calculation of the Restricted Payments Basket; 

(v) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary Guarantor, with the Net Cash Proceeds from an incurrence of, or in exchange for, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; 

(vi) the declaration or payment of any dividend or distribution by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower to the holders of
its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis or on a basis more favorable to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of SSE than to the other holders of its Equity Interests; 

(vii) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower pursuant to any director or employee equity subscription agreement or equity option agreement or other management incentive plan, director or employee compensation agreement or employee benefit plan or to
satisfy obligations under any Equity Interests appreciation rights or option plan or similar arrangement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed $5.0 million in
any calendar year, with unused amounts in any calendar year being permitted to be carried over to succeeding calendar years subject to a maximum of $20,000,000 in any calendar year; provided, however, that such amount in any calendar year may
be increased by an amount not to exceed: 
 (A) the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries from the issuance and sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower or any direct or indirect parent of the 

  
 88 

 
Borrower (to the extent contributed to the Borrower) to officers, directors or employees of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower that
occurs after the date of this Agreement (provided that the amount of any such Net Cash Proceeds utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from the calculation of the Restricted Payments Basket); plus 

(B) the Net Cash Proceeds of any “key man” life insurance policies received by the Borrower or any direct or
indirect parent of the Borrower (to the extent contributed to the Borrower) or the Restricted Subsidiaries after the date of this Agreement that have not been applied to the payment of Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (vii); 

provided that the Borrower may elect to apply all or any portion of the aggregate increase contemplated by clauses (a) and (b) above in any
calendar year; and provided, further, that cancellation of Indebtedness owing to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from any present or former officer, director or employee of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or the direct or
indirect parents of the Borrower in connection with a repurchase of Equity Interests of the Borrower or any of its direct or indirect parents will not be deemed to constitute a Restricted Payment for purposes of this covenant or any other provision
hereof; 
 (viii) the purchase, repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests
deemed to occur upon the exercise of options, warrants, incentives, rights to acquire Equity Interests or other convertible securities if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise or exchange price thereof, and any purchase,
repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests made in lieu of withholding taxes in connection with any exercise or exchange of options, warrants, incentives or rights to acquire Equity Interests; 

(ix) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated
Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of such Subordinated Indebtedness upon a Change of Control, at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Indebtedness, or an Asset Sale, at a purchase price not
greater than 100% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Indebtedness, after, in the case of an Asset Sale, the Borrower shall have complied with the requirements of Section 2.03(b)(ii); 

(x) the purchase by the Borrower of fractional shares arising out of stock dividends, splits, combinations or business
combinations or conversion of securities exercisable or convertible into Equity Interests of the Borrower; 
 (xi) the
acquisition in open-market purchases of the Borrower’s Equity Interests for matching contributions to the Borrower’s employee retirement, stock purchase and deferred compensation plans in the ordinary course of business;

 89 

 (xiii) dividends, payments and other distributions pursuant to a tax sharing
agreement or other similar arrangement to any equity owner of the Borrower or to any Person with whom the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries file a consolidated, combined or similar tax return or with which the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries are part of a consolidated, combined or similar group for tax purposes, provided that such dividends, payments and distributions do not exceed the amount of taxes the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries collectively would have to
pay on a stand-alone basis as a separate corporate taxable entity; 
 (xiv) payments to dissenting stockholders pursuant to
applicable law in connection with a consolidation, merger or transfer of assets that complies with Section 7.07; 
 (xv)
Restricted Payments attributable or arising in connection with the Spin Off Transactions and related transactions thereto pursuant to agreements or arrangements in effect on the Closing Date (including the Spin Off Documents) on substantially the
terms described in the Spin Off Registration Statement or any amendment, modification or supplement thereto or replacement thereof, as long as the terms of such agreement or arrangement, as so amended, modified, supplemented or replaced, are not
materially more disadvantageous to Parent, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, than the terms of such agreement or arrangement described in the Spin Off Registration Statement; 

(xvi) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount since the date of this Agreement not to exceed the greater of
(A) $150 million and (B) 7.5% of Consolidated Tangible Assets determined at the time of making any such Restricted Payment; 
 provided that with
respect to clauses (ix), (xi), (xii) and (xvi) of this Section 7.01(b), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or be caused by such transaction. 

(c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment
of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.01, if a
Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in clauses (i) through (xvi) of Section 7.01(b), or is permitted to be made pursuant to Section 7.01(a), the
Borrower will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such Restricted Payment in any manner that complies with this Section 7.01. 

  
 90 

 Section 7.02 Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

 (a) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or
otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 

(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
provided, that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to the payment of dividends or liquidating distributions on Capital Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make
distributions on Capital Stock for purposes of this covenant; 
 (ii) make loans or advances to, or pay any Indebtedness or
other Obligations owed to, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by the Borrower or
any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or 
 (iii)
transfer any of its properties or assets to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (b) The restrictions in
Section 7.02(a) will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(x) as in effect on the date of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the ABL Credit Agreement, the 2019 Indenture and the 2019 Notes) and (y) the 2022 Indenture and the 2022 Notes, and, in each case, any amendments,
modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements or the Indebtedness to which they relate, provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend, distribution and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of this Agreement; 

(ii) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 

(iii) applicable Laws; 

(iv) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property
or assets of the Person, so acquired, provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be incurred; 

(v) Capital Lease Obligations, sale and leaseback transactions, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case
for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in clause (iii) of Section 7.02(a); 

  
 91 

 (vi) restrictions imposed under any agreement to sell Equity Interests or assets
to any Person that imposes restrictions on that property of the nature described in clause (iii) of Section 7.02(a) pending the closing of such sale; 

(vii) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower that restricts distributions
by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; 
 (viii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness,
provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced; 

(ix) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under the provisions of Section 7.06 that limit
the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; 
 (x) customary provisions in joint venture
agreements, partnership agreements, limited liability company organizational documents, shareholder agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business or that have been approved by the Board that restrict the
disposition or distribution of ownership interests in or assets of such joint venture, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or similar Person; 

(xi) any agreement or instrument relating to any property or assets acquired after the date of this Agreement, so long as such
encumbrance or restriction relates only to the property or assets so acquired and is not and was not created in anticipation of such acquisition; 

(xii) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary
course of business; 
 (xiii) encumbrances or restrictions contained in, or in respect of, Swap Contracts permitted under
this Agreement from time to time; 
 (xiv) with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary, any encumbrance or restriction contained
in the terms of any Indebtedness or any agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness was incurred if either (a) the encumbrance or restriction applies only in the event of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial covenant in
such Indebtedness or agreement or (b) the Borrower determines in good faith that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Borrower’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Obligations of the
Borrower under this Agreement; 
 (xv) restrictions arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to
any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof in any manner material to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof; 

  
 92 

 (xvi) restrictions in respect of the subletting, assignment or transfer of any
property or asset that is a lease, license, conveyance or contract or similar property or asset entered into in the ordinary course of business; 

(xvii) restrictions existing by virtue of any transfer of, agreement to transfer, option or right with respect to, or Lien on,

(xviii) any other agreement governing Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that is permitted to be
incurred under Section 7.03; provided, however, that such encumbrances or restrictions are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained (x) the ABL Credit Agreement, with respect to credit
agreements or (y) this Agreement as in effect on the date of this Agreement, with respect to indentures or term loan B facilities. 

Section 7.03 Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. 

(a) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur,
issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur;” with “incurrence” having a correlative meaning) any Indebtedness (including Acquired
Debt), other than Permitted Indebtedness, the Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, issue any Disqualified Stock, and the Borrower will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor
to issue any Preferred Stock, in each case, unless the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Borrower’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which
such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds
therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such reference period. 

(b) The provisions of Section 7.03(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of
Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Indebtedness”) or the issuance of any Preferred Stock described in clause (xii) below: 

(i) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under this Agreement and the ABL
Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any one time outstanding under this clause (i) not to exceed the greater of (a) $850,000,000, (b) the sum of $450,000,000 million plus 25% of the
Borrower’s Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of incurrence or (c) an amount equal to 2.0 times the Borrower’s Consolidated Cash Flow for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters of the Borrower for which internal
financial statements are available; 

  
 93 

 (ii) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the
Existing Indebtedness; 
 (iii) the incurrence by the Borrower of Indebtedness represented by the Senior Notes and by the
Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the related Guarantees thereof and by the Borrower, in the case of the 2022 Notes, of Indebtedness represented by the related Guarantee thereof; 

(iv) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease
Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of
the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary or Attributable Debt in respect of sale and leaseback transactions, provided that, immediately after giving effect to any such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred
pursuant to this clause (4), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund such Indebtedness shall not exceed at any time outstanding, the greater of (a) $75.0 million or
(b) 5.0% of the Borrower’s Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of incurrence; 
 (v) the incurrence by the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund Indebtedness that was permitted by this Agreement to
be incurred under Section 7.03(a) or clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (ix) or (xiv) of this paragraph (b) or this clause (v); 

(vi) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among Parent,
the Borrower and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that: 
 (A) if the Borrower is the obligor on such
Indebtedness and Parent or a Subsidiary Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, or if a Subsidiary Guarantor is the
obligor on such Indebtedness and none of Parent, the Borrower or another Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligee, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Guaranty of
such Subsidiary Guarantor; and 
 (B)(i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such
Indebtedness being held by a Person other than Parent, the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not Parent, the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary
of the Borrower will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that is not permitted by this clause (vi); 

  
 94 

 (vii) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Obligations in respect of Swap Contracts in the ordinary course of business for bona fide hedging purposes and not for speculative purposes; 

(viii) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from agreements of the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn-outs or similar obligations, in each case, incurred in connection with the disposition or acquisition of any business, assets or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or any business or assets of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for the purposes of financing such acquisition; provided, however, that: 

(A) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (contingent
obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (A)); and 

(B) the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Indebtedness incurred in connection with a disposition shall at no
time exceed the gross proceeds including non-cash proceeds (the fair market value of such non-cash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received by the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition; 
 (ix) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Permitted Acquisition Indebtedness; 
 (x) the Guarantee by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor of
Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 7.03; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is Subordinated
Indebtedness, then the related Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Secured Obligations; 
 (xi) the
incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of bid, performance, surety and similar bonds issued for the account of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
business, including guarantees and obligations of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to letters of credit supporting such obligations (in each case other than an obligation for money borrowed); 

  
 95 

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

(B) any sale or other transfer of any such Preferred Stock to a Person that is neither the Borrower nor a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Borrower 
 shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Stock by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary
that was not permitted by this clause (xii); 
 (xiii) Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in
respect of Treasury Management Arrangements; and 
 (xiv) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) that, when taken together with all other Indebtedness of the Borrower outstanding on the date of such incurrence (other than Indebtedness
permitted by clauses (i) through (xiii) of Section 7.03(b) or by Section 7.03(a)), does not to exceed the greater of (a) $100.0 million or (b) 7.5% of the Borrower’s Consolidated Tangible Assets determined at the
time of incurrence. 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.03, if an item of
Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xiv) of Section 7.03(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to
Section 7.03(a), the Borrower will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 7.03. Any
Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement on the date of this Agreement (including under this Agreement) shall be considered incurred under clause (i) of Section 7.03(b). 

(d) The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any
Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will not be
deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, for purposes of this Section 7.03; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges
of the Borrower as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 7.03 will not be
deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. Further, the accounting reclassification of any obligation of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as Indebtedness will not be deemed an
incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 7.03. 

  
 96 

 Section 7.04 Limitation on Asset Sales. 

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

(i) the Borrower (or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least
equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; 
 (ii) at least
75% of the aggregate consideration received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in the Asset Sale is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or any combination thereof. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed
to be cash: 
 (A) any liabilities of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, as shown on the Parent’s most recent
consolidated and consolidating balance sheet and statements of the Parent, indicating such items in respect of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to
the Secured Obligations and liabilities owed to the Borrower or any Subsidiary) that are expressly assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary written novation agreement that releases the Borrower or such Restricted
Subsidiary from further liability; 
 (B) any non-cash consideration received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary
from such transferee that are converted by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion;

 (C) the fair market value of (i) any assets (other than securities) used or useful in a Permitted Business,
(ii) Equity Interests acquired from a Person other than the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in a Person engaged in a Permitted Business and that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary immediately upon the acquisition of such Person by the
Borrower or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii); and 
 (D) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (D) that has not, prior to such time, been
converted into cash or Cash Equivalents, not to exceed the greater of (i) $25.0 million or (ii) 2.0% of the Borrower’s Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market
value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value; 
 Any

and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Borrower under this Agreement with the same effect as if such surviving entity or transferee had been named as the Borrower herein and shall be substituted for the Borrower (so

America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither the Borrower nor any other
Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the
Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect
only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the
“collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, 

  
 106 

 holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to
secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact
appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.04 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies
thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 

Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or
unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other
advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders or to provide notice to or consent of the Lenders with respect thereto. 
 Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default
has occurred and is continuing; 
 (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture,
modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and 
 (c) shall not,
except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is
communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

  
 107 

 Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action
taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.01 and Section 8.02) or in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

any of its Related Parties has any duty or obligation to any Lender or participant or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions
set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection
or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, communication consent, statement, instrument, document
or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also
may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall be fully protected in relying and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with
any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not
be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has
signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objections. 

  
 108 

 Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and
shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of this Agreement provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 

Section 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an
Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of
its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the
retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment
as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as

Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Patties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring
Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or 

  
 109 

 
any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

Section 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication
Agent or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the
Arranger or a Lender. 
 Section 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under
any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and
all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.06 and Section 10.04)
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on
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 Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.06 and
Section 10.04. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any
Lender or in any such proceeding. 

  
 110 

 The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of
the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise)
and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under
Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted
by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the
Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest
upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments
of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt
documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity
Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses
(a) through (i) of Section 10.01 of this Agreement, and (iii) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid
being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the
Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Secured Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any
Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. 
 Section 9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the
Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, 
 (a) to release any Lien on
any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than obligations for contingent liabilities in respect of
which no claim or demand for payment has been made or, in the case of indemnifications, no notice has been given (or reasonably satisfactory arrangements have otherwise been made)), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with
any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) belonging to any Subsidiary released as a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the provisions hereunder and under the Guaranty, (iv) constituting property in which no Loan Party
owned any interest at the time the Administrative Agent’s Lien was granted nor at 

  
 111 

 
any time thereafter, (v) constituting property leased or licensed to a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries under a lease or license that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted
hereunder or (vi) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01; 
 (b) to
release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with Section 6.12 ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or
otherwise ceases to be required to Guarantee the Secured Obligations; and 
 (c) to subordinate any Lien on any property
granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien in respect of a Capital Lease Obligation to the extent permitted hereunder. 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority
to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this
Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral
from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms
of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10. If it becomes illegal for any Lender to hold or benefit from a Lien over real property pursuant to any law of the United States, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and disclaim
any benefit of such Lien to the extent of such illegality, but such illegality shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such Lien for the benefit of each of the other Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty
to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any
Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended nor
the principal owing to such Lender reduced nor the date for payment thereof extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms

provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group)
will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; 
 (ii)
Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by
 subsection
(b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (l) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that
the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and 

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if
such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender. 

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, 

  
 120 

 
together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing
and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s
Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural
person. 
 (vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any
Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an
aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and
satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in
accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the
provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04. Section 3.05
and Section 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with Section 10.06(d). 

  
 121 

 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as
an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding notice to
the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d)
Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the
Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing
to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to
which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant.
Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04 and Section 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b); provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 10.13 to the same extent as if it were a Lender,
and each Lender that sells a participation agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 10.13 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or a portion of the Participant Register including the
identity of any Participant or any information relating to a 

  
 122 

 
Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such
commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender. 

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such
Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 Section 10.07
Treatment of Certain Information: Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its
Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant
to Section 2.11(c), (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Party, unless such Administrative Agent, Lender or Affiliate has actual knowledge that such source owes an obligation
of confidence to a Loan Party with respect to such Information. 

  
 123 

 For purposes of this Section, “information” means all
information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any such Subsidiary after the date hereof, such
information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such
Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that (a) the Information may include material non-public information
concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with
applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws. 
 Section 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against
any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that
in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff hereunder, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall
provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates
under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any
such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

Section 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or
agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an
amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining 

  
 124 

 
whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law,
(a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal
parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
 Section 10.10 Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan
Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default
at the time of any Loans, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder (other than obligations for contingent liabilities in respect of which no claim or demand for payment has been made or, in
the case of indemnifications, no notice has been given (or reasonably satisfactory arrangements have otherwise been made)) shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 

Section 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations
to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this
Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 

Section 10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any 

  
 125 

 
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or a Defaulting Lender, or if the Borrower is otherwise
entitled to replace any Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 
 (a) the Borrower shall have paid to the
Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b)(iv); 
 (b) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from
the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments
required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment
and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.

The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee agree as follows for the benefit of each other and for the equal and ratable benefit of

such specified Person, whether or not such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Subsidiary of, such specified Person, but excluding Indebtedness which is

ARTICLE 2 
 THE NOTES 

Section 2.01. Form and Dating. 

Provisions relating to the Initial Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Exchange Notes are set forth in the Rule 144A/Regulation S
Appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix “) which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Indenture. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication therefor shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit 1 to the Appendix which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which an Company is subject, if any, or
usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in the Appendix are part of the terms of this
Indenture. 
 Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. 

An Officer shall sign the Notes on behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid
nevertheless. 
 A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on
the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 On the Issue Date, the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes and, at any time and from time to time thereafter, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount
specified in such order, in each case upon a written order of the Company. Such order shall specify the 

  
 30 

 
aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and to whom the Notes shall be registered and delivered and, in
the case of an issuance of Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.13 after the Issue Date, shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.09. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of
such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as
any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 
 Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the
“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or
more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. 

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall
incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar
or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Notes. The Company may change the Paying Agent
or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on each due date of the principal and interest on any Note, the Company shall deposit with the Paying
Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Noteholders or the
Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as
Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the
Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 

  
 31 

 Section 2.05. Noteholder 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 Noteholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may 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 Noteholders. 
 Section 2.06. Transfer and
Exchange. 
 (a) The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for
registration of transfer. When a Note is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section 8-401(a) of
the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements
are met. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or
similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Section 3.06, 4.10, 4.15 or 9.05). 
 (b) A
Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, if: 

(1) DTC (a) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Note or
(b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and in either event SSE fails to appoint a successor depositary within 90 days; 

(2) the Company, at its option and subject to the procedures of DTC, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause
the issuance of Certificated Notes; or 
 (3) there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default and DTC notifies the
Trustee of its decision to exchange the Global Note for Certificated Notes. 
 Beneficial interests in a Global Note may also
be exchanged for Certificated Notes of the same series upon prior written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with this Indenture, and in the other limited circumstances permitted by this Indenture, including if an
affiliate of the Company acquires such interests. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in a Global Note will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations,
requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and will bear the restrictive legend referred to in the Appendix, unless that legend is not required by applicable law. 

  
 32 

 (c) Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any
Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in this Indenture) to the effect that the transfer will comply with the appropriate transfer restrictions applicable to the Notes being
transferred. 
 (d) Each Holder of a Note agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may
result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Note in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law. The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under Applicable Law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Participants or
beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and
to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 Section 2.07. Replacement Notes.

 If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or
wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the
Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss which any
of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every
replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company. 
 Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. 

Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as otherwise provided in TIA §316(a), a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof
satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in
trust, in accordance with this Indenture, by 11:00 a.m. New York time, on a redemption date or other maturity date money sufficient to pay 

  
 33 

 
all principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then
on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on them cease to accrue. 

Section 2.09. Temporary Notes. 

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes
shall be substantially in the form of , definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes
and deliver them in exchange for temporary Notes. 
 Section 2.10. Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange,
payment or cancellation. Upon written request, the Trustee will deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company unless the Company directs the Trustee to deliver canceled Notes to the Company instead. The Company may not issue new Notes to
replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.11. Defaulted Interest. 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such
defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date
and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail to each Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. 

Section 2.12. CUSIP Numbers. 

The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers and corresponding “ISINs” (if then generally in use) and,
if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers and corresponding “ISINs” in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by
any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
 Section 2.13. Issuance of Additional Notes. 

The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall
have identical terms as the Notes issued on the 

  
 34 

 
Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price. The Notes issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Notes and all Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes issued in
exchange therefor shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, consents, directions, declarations, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. 

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, which shall be delivered to the Trustee,
the following information: 
 (1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered
pursuant to this Indenture; 
 (2) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number and any corresponding ISIN of such
Additional Notes; and 
 (3) whether such Additional Notes shall be Transfer Restricted Securities. 

ARTICLE 3

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, they shall furnish to the
Trustee, at least five Business Days (unless a shorter period shall be agreeable to the Trustee) before the date of giving notice of the redemption pursuant to Section 3.03, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of
Section 3.07 pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (iv) the redemption price, and (v) whether they request the Trustee to give notice of
such redemption. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to the mailing of notice of such redemption to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. 

Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee[, in accordance with the rules of the Depositary,] shall
select Notes for redemption as follows: (1) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or (2) if the Notes
are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis (or in the case of Notes in global form, the Trustee will select notes for redemption based on the method of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) that
most nearly approximates a pro rata selection).  
 No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of optional
redemption shall be mailed by first class mail (or, in the case of Notes in global form, pursuant to the applicable procedures of the DTC) at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its
registered address, except that optional redemption notices may be mailed or sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in 

  
 35 

 
connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Notices of redemption may not be conditional, except that any redemption described in
Section 3.07(b). 
 If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the
portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the original Note upon cancellation of the original
Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption
payment. 
 [The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs of this Section 3.02 shall not apply with respect to any redemption
affecting only a Global Note, whether such Global Note is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Global Note shall be in an authorized denomination.] 

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. 

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a
notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a Legal Defeasance,
Covenant Defeasance or Discharge. 
 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the redemption date; 

(b) the redemption price; 

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

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

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

(f) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on Notes
called for redemption cease to accrue on and after the redemption date and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is to receive payment of the redemption price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed; 

  
 36 

 (g) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which
the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 If any of the Notes to be redeemed is in the
form of a Global Note, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the procedures of the Depository applicable to redemption. 

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s names and at its expense;
provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee five days prior to the notice being sent to the Holders (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee), as provided in Section 3.01, an Officers’
Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the second preceding paragraph. 

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Except as provided in the next sentence, once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for
redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional, except that any redemption pursuant to Section 3.07(b) may, at the Company’s discretion, be
subject to completion of the related Equity Offering. If mailed in the manner provided for in Section 3.03, the notice of redemption shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not a Holder receives such notice. Failure to give
timely notice or any defect in the notice shall not affect the validity of the redemption. 
 Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. 

Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a
Subsidiary thereof is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04 hereof) money sufficient in same day funds to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all
Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest and Additional
Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed. 
 If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the
redemption date, interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption whether or not such Notes are presented for payment, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such
Notes shall be to receive payment of the redemption price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed, If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply
with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful, on any interest and Additional Interest, if any, ‘not paid on such unpaid principal,
in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 106.5% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed on the redemption
date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Company,
provided that: 
 (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture

 plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date). 

“Make Whole Premium” means, with respect to a Note on any applicable redemption date, the excess, if any, of
(a) the present value at such time of (i) the redemption price of such Note at July 15, 2017 (as set forth in the table in Section 3.07(a)) plus (ii) any required interest payments due on such Note through
July 15, 2017 (except for currently accrued and unpaid interest), discounted back to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over
(b) the principal amount of such Note. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, as of any redemption date, the yield to
maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) which has become publicly available at least two Business
Days prior to the redemption date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to July 15, 2017; provided,
however, that if such period is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Company shall obtain the Treasury Rate by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest
one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the redemption date to July 15, 2017 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on
actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used. The Company will calculate the Treasury Rate no later than the second Business Day preceding the applicable redemption date and prior to
such redemption date delivery to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Make Whole Premium and the Treasury Rate and showing the calculation of each in reasonable detail. 

(d) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through Section 3.06
hereof. 
 Section 3.08. No Mandatory Redemption or Sinking Fund. 

Except as set forth in Section[s 4.10 and] 4.15 hereof, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund
payments with respect to the Notes or to repurchase the Notes at the option of the Holders.

 Section 4.01. Payment of
Notes. 
 The Company shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the
Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes.

Principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of
11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the due date money deposited by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if
any, then due. 
 The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
principal at the rate equal to the interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; and they shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional
Interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace period), at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office
or Agency. 
 The Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee) where
Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company
shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with
the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any
or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. Further, if at any time there shall be no such office or agency in the City of New York where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, the Company shall
forthwith designate and maintain such an office or agency in the City of New York, in order that the Notes shall at all times be payable in the City of New York. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03. In addition, the Company hereby designate the office of the Trustee in the City of New York, which is located at
[                    ] on the date hereof, as an additional place where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment. 

Section 4.03. Reports. 
 (a) For so
long as any of the Notes are outstanding and the Company is not subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the Trustee, within 10 Business Days after the applicable date by which it would
have been required to file the same with the Commission (as if the Company were a non-accelerated filer under the Exchange Act), all annual and quarterly financial statements, including any notes thereto (and with respect to annual reports, an
auditors’ report by a firm of established national reputation), 

  
 40 

 
and a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” both comparable to that which the Company would have been required to include in such
annual and quarterly reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q (or any successor form), as if the Company had been subject to the requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. If the Company becomes subject to the requirements of such
Section 13 or 15(d), the Company shall instead, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, file with the Commission, within the time periods that it is required to file the same with the Commission, taking into account any extension of time,
deemed filing date or safe harbor contemplated or provided for by Rule 12b-25, Rule 13a-11(c) and Rule 15d-11(c) under the Exchange Act, the annual and quarterly reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q (or any successor form), respectively, and the
information, documents and other reports, including current reports that would be required to be filed (but not furnished) with the Commission on Form 8-K (or any successor form), that the Company would be required to file with the Commission
pursuant to such Section 13 or 15(d). Subject to Section 4.03(d), the financial statements, reports and other information to be provided may be provided by the Company’s parent entity with respect to Company’s parent entity on a
combined or consolidated basis, and no separate financial statements or reports regarding the Company shall be required if such parent entity has delivered a guarantee as provided in Section 4.13(b). 

(b) If (i) the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries or (ii) the Company’s parent entity
is providing the required financial statements, reports and other information and such Subsidiary or parent entity has material assets or operations other than the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial
information required by paragraph (a) of this Section 4.03 shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted
Subsidiaries or of the Company’s parent entity, as applicable. 
 (c) If the Company is not subject to the requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will maintain a website, which may, in the Company’s discretion, be non-public, to which holders of the notes are given access and to which the reports or information required by this
Section 4.03 are posted. In addition, so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, will agree to furnish to the holders and Beneficial Owners of the Notes and to securities analysts and prospective
investors in the Notes, upon the request of such parties, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule l44A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

Any default pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be automatically cured when the Company or any other direct or indirect parent of the
Company provides or files all required information and reports in accordance with this Section 4.03. 
 Section 4.04. Compliance
Certificate. 
 (a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within [120] days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the Issue
Date, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has 

  
 41 

 
been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and
further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what
action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments of interest on the Notes are prohibited or if such event
has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (b) The Company
shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 10 days of any of its respective Officers becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default
and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 4.05. Taxes. 

The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and
governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

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

(1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to
the direct or 

  
 42 

 
indirect holders of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests
(other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company); 
 (2)
purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company
(except in exchange for Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company and except for any such Equity Interests owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company); 

(3) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any
Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, except (a) a payment of interest or principal within one year of the Stated Maturity thereof or (b) payments on Indebtedness owed to the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; or 
 (4) make any Restricted Investment, 

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

(2) the Company could, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if
such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a); and 

(3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (1), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), (12), (13), (14) and (15) of Section 4.07(b)) is less than the sum (the
“Restricted Payments Basket”), without duplication, of: 
 (A) 50% of the Consolidated Net
Income of the Company on a cumulative basis during the period (taken as one accounting period) beginning on the first day of the fiscal quarter commencing prior to the Issue Date and ending on the last day of the Company’s last fiscal quarter
ending prior to the date of such proposed Restricted Payment for which internal financial statements are available (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit); plus 

  
 43 

 (B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company
(including the fair market value of any Permitted Business or long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business to the extent acquired in consideration of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock)) since the
Issue Date as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or
exchangeable debt securities of the Company that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company); plus 
 (C) 100% of the aggregate amount by which Indebtedness (other
than any Subordinated Indebtedness or Indebtedness held by a Subsidiary of the Company) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is reduced on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange subsequent to the Issue
Date of any such Indebtedness convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company (plus the amount of any accrued interest then outstanding on such Indebtedness to the extent the obligation to pay such
interest is extinguished less the amount of any cash, or the fair market value of any property (as determined in good faith by an officer of the Company), distributed by the Company upon such conversion or exchange); provided, however, that
the foregoing amount shall not exceed the net cash proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the sale of such Indebtedness (excluding net cash proceeds from sales to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company); plus 

(D) an amount equal to the sum of (i) the net reduction in Restricted Investments made by the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary in any Person resulting from repurchases, repayments or redemptions of such Investments by such Person and proceeds (including the fair market value of marketable securities or other property) realized on the sale or other
disposition of any Restricted Investments and proceeds representing the return of capital (excluding dividends and distributions to the extent included in Consolidated Net Income), in each case received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
since the Issue Date, and (ii) to the extent such Person is an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of such Unrestricted
Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that to the extent the foregoing sum exceeds, in the case of any such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Restricted
Investments previously made (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary since the Issue Date, such excess shall not be included in this clause (D) unless the amount
represented by such excess has not been and will not be taken into account in one of the foregoing clauses (A) through (C). 

  
 44 

 (b) Section 4.07(a) will not prohibit: 

(1) the payment of a dividend or distribution to Chesapeake Energy Corporation, or a Subsidiary thereof, in an amount not to
exceed the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes on the Issue Date; 
 (2) the payment of any dividend or
distribution or the consummation of any redemption within 60 days after the date of its declaration or giving of redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice the payment would have complied with the provisions of
this Indenture; 
 (3) the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of, the
substantially concurrent contribution (other than from a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) to the equity capital of the Company or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of the Equity Interests of the Company (other than
Disqualified Stock), with any such payment being deemed “substantially concurrent” if made not more than 120 days after such sale; provided, however, that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such
Restricted Payment will be excluded from the calculation of the Restricted Payments Basket; 
 (4) the defeasance,
redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of, or in exchange for, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; 

(5) the declaration or payment of any dividend or distribution by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the holders
of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis or on a basis more favorable to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company than to the other holders of its Equity Interests; 

(6) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to any director or employee equity subscription agreement or equity option agreement or other management incentive plan, director or employee compensation agreement or employee benefit plan or to
satisfy obligations under any Equity Interests appreciation rights or option plan or similar arrangement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed $5.0
million in any calendar year with unused amounts in any calendar year being permitted to be carried over to succeeding calendar years subject to a maximum of $20.0 million in any calendar year; provided, however, that such amount in any
calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed: 
 (A) the net cash proceeds received by the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from the issuance and sale of Equity Interests 

  
 45 

 
(other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company (to the extent contributed to the Company) to officers, directors or employees of the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent of the Company that occurs after the Issue Date (provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from the
calculation of the Restricted Payments Basket); plus 
 (B) the net cash proceeds of any “key man” life
insurance policies received by the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company (to the extent contributed to the Company) or the Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date that have not been applied to the payment of Restricted
Payments pursuant to this clause (6); 
 provided that the Company may elect to apply all or any portion of the aggregate increase
contemplated by clauses (A) and (B) above in any calendar year; and provided, further, that cancellation of Indebtedness owing to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from any present or former officer, director or employee of
the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or the direct or indirect parents of the Company in connection with a repurchase of Equity Interests of the Company or any of its direct or indirect parents will not be deemed to constitute a Restricted Payment
for purposes of this Section 4.07 or any other provision hereof; 
 (7) the purchase, repurchase, redemption or other
acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of options, warrants, incentives, rights to acquire Equity Interests or other convertible securities if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the
exercise or exchange price thereof, and any purchase, repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests made in lieu of withholding taxes in connection with any exercise or exchange of options, warrants,
incentives or rights to acquire Equity Interests; 
 (8) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other
acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of such Subordinated Indebtedness upon a Change of Control, at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Subordinated
Indebtedness, or an Asset Sale, at a purchase price not greater than 100% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Indebtedness, after the Company shall have complied with the provisions set forth in Sections 4.10 and 4.15 hereof, as the case
may be, and repurchased all Notes validly tendered for payment in connection with the Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer, as the case may be;

owner of the Company or to any Person with whom the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries file a consolidated, combined or similar tax return or with which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are part of a consolidated, combined or similar
group for tax purposes, provided that such dividends, payments and distributions do not exceed the amount of taxes the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries collectively would have to pay on a stand-alone basis as a separate corporate
taxable entity; 
 (13) payments to dissenting stockholders pursuant to applicable law in connection with a consolidation,
merger or transfer of assets that complies with Section 5.01; 
 (14) any Restricted Payments attributable to or arising
in connection with the Transactions and related transactions thereto pursuant to agreements or arrangements in effect on the Issue Date (including the Separation Documents) on substantially the terms described in the Offering Memorandum as of the
date thereof or any amendment, modification or supplement thereto or replacement thereof, as long as the terms of such agreement or arrangement, as so amended, modified, supplemented or replaced, are not materially more disadvantageous to the

asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case 

  
 47

Restricted Payments described in clauses (1) through (16) of Section 4.07(b), or is permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.07(a), the Company will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part
in its sole discretion) such Restricted Payment in any manner that complies with this Section 4.07. 
 Section 4.08. Limitation on Dividend
and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

any Indebtedness or other Obligations owed to, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by
the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or 

(3) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(b) The restrictions in Section 4.08(a) will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

property of the nature described in clause (3) of Section 4.08(a) pending the closing of such sale;

right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; 
 (10) customary provisions in joint venture agreements,

Subsidiaries that is permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09, including but not limited to any Credit Facility; provided, however, that such encumbrances or restrictions are not materially more restrictive, taken
as a whole, than those contained in (x) the Revolving Credit Facility, with respect to credit agreements or (y) this Indenture as in effect on the Issue Date, with respect to indentures or term loan B facilities. 

Section 4.09. Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

issue any Preferred Stock, in each case, unless the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such
additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued, 

  
 50 

 
as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional
Indebtedness had been incurred or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such reference period. 

(b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively,
“Permitted Indebtedness”) or the issuance of any Preferred Stock described in clause (12) below: 
 (1) the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under one or more Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) not to

Cash Flow for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters of the Company for which internal financial statements are available; 

(2) the incurrence by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness; 

(3) the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness represented by the Notes issued and sold on the Issue Date and the exchange

the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or Attributable Debt in respect of sale-leaseback transactions, provided that, immediately after giving effect to any such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred pursuant
to this clause (4), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund such Indebtedness shall not exceed at any time outstanding, the greater of (a) $75.0 million or (b) 5.0%
of the Company’s Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of incurrence; 
 (5) the incurrence by the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund Indebtedness that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under
Section 4.09(a) or clauses (2), (3), (4), (9) or (14) of this paragraph (b) or this clause (5); 

  
 51 

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

(A) if the Company is the obligor on such Indebtedness and a Subsidiary Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness must
be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, or if a Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and neither the Company nor another Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligee,
such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor; and 

(B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person
other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither the Company nor a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company will be deemed, in each case, to
constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6); 

(7) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of
business for bona fide hedging purposes and not for speculative purposes; 
 (8) the incurrence by the Company or any

any portion of such business, assets or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for the purposes of financing such acquisition; provided, however, that: 

(A) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Company or any of its. Restricted Subsidiaries (contingent
obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (A)); and 

(B) the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Indebtedness incurred in connection with a disposition shall at no
time exceed the gross proceeds, including non-cash proceeds (the fair market value of such non-cash proceeds being measured at the time received and 

  
 52 

 
without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value), actually received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition; 

(9) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Acquisition Indebtedness; 

(10) the guarantee by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness of the Company or any of the Company’s
Restricted Subsidiaries that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is Subordinated Indebtedness, then the related guarantee shall be subordinated in
right of payment to the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees, as the case may be; 
 (11) the incurrence by the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of bid, performance, surety and similar bonds issued for the account of. the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, including guarantees and

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

(B) any sale or other transfer of any such Preferred Stock to a Person that is neither the Company nor a Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (12); 

(13) Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Treasury Management Arrangements; and 

(14) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal
amount (or accreted value, as applicable) that, when taken together with all other Indebtedness of the Company outstanding, on the date of such incurrence (other than Indebtedness permitted by clauses (1) through (13) of this
Section 4.09(b) or Section 4.09(a)), does not exceed the greater of (a) $100.0 million or (b) 7.5% of the Company’s Consolidated Tangible Assets determined at the time of incurrence. 

  
 53 

 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, if an item of
Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (14) of Section 4.09(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to
Section 4.09(a), the Company will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. Any Indebtedness under
Credit Facilities on the Issue Date shall be considered incurred under clause (1) of Section 4.09(b). 
 (d) The accrual of
interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in the
form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, for purposes of this
Section 4.09; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 will not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. Further, the accounting reclassification of any
obligation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as Indebtedness will not be deemed an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09. 

Section 4.10. Limitation on Asset Sales. 

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

(1) the Company (or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset
Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

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

(A) any liabilities of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as shown on the Company’s most recent
consolidated balance sheet (other than contingent liabilities, liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee and liabilities owed to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company), that are expressly
assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary written novation agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; 

  
 54 

 (B) any non-cash consideration received by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that
conversion; 
 (C) the fair market value of (i) any assets (other than securities) used or useful in a Permitted
Business, (ii) Equity Interests acquired from a Person other than the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in a Person engaged in a Permitted Business and that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company immediately upon
the acquisition of such Equity Interests or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii); and 
 (D) any Designated
Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause
(D) that has not, prior to such time, been converted into cash or Cash Equivalents, not to exceed the greater of (i) $25.0 million or (ii) 2.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of receipt of such
Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value. 

Any Asset Sale pursuant to a condemnation, seizure, appropriation or similar taking, including by deed in lieu of condemnation, or any
casualty, actual or constructive total loss or an agreed or compromised total loss, such Asset Sale shall not be required to satisfy the conditions set forth in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.10(a). 

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the
case may be, may apply such Net Proceeds, at its option: 
 (1) to prepay, repay, purchase, repurchase or redeem any Senior
Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company); 

(2) to acquire a controlling interest in another business or all or substantially all of the assets or operating line of
another business, in each case engaged in a Permitted Business; 
 (3) to make capital expenditures in a Permitted Business;
or 
 (4) to acquire other non-current assets (other than securities) to be used in a Permitted Business; 

  
 55 

 provided that the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed to have complied with
this paragraph (b) if, within 365 days of such Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall have commenced and not completed or abandoned an expenditure or Investment, or entered into a binding agreement with respect to an
expenditure or Investment, in compliance with this paragraph (b), and that expenditure or Investment is substantially completed within a date one year and six months after the date of such Asset Sale. Pending the final application of any such Net
Proceeds, the Company may expend or invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be
deemed to constitute “Excess Asset Sale Proceeds.” 
 (c) When the aggregate amount of Excess Asset Sale Proceeds exceeds $50.0
million, the Company shall, within 60 days after the designation of such proceeds as Excess Asset Sale Proceeds, make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to the Holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of any other
Senior Indebtedness that is subject to requirements with respect to the application of net proceeds from asset sales that are substantially similar to those contained in this Section 4.10, to purchase on a pro rata basis the maximum
principal amount of the Notes and such other Senior Indebtedness that may be purchased or prepaid, as applicable, out of the Excess Asset Sale Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and
such other Senior Indebtedness to be purchased or prepaid (or accreted amount in the case of any Senior Indebtedness issued with original issue discount) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase, subject to the right
of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of purchase. 

(d) To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Senior Indebtedness tendered (and electing to be redeemed or repaid,
as applicable) pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Asset Sale Proceeds, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use any remaining Excess Asset Sale Proceeds for general corporate purposes and any other purpose not
otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such other Senior Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of the Excess Asset Sale Proceeds, the Company shall select the Notes and
such other Senior Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other Senior Indebtedness tendered in the offering. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Asset Sale
Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (e) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions by virtue of such compliance. 

  
 56 

 Section 4.11. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of
related transactions, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make, amend, renew or extend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan,
advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, unless: 

(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant
Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably be expected to have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary
or is otherwise fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries from a financial point of view; and 
 (2) the Company
delivers to the Trustee: 
 (A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of Affiliate Transactions involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $30.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of Affiliate Transactions complies with the preceding clause (1) of this Section 4.11(a); and 

(B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $60.0 million, a Board Resolution of the Company set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with the preceding clause (1) of this Section 4.11(a) and has been approved by the
Board. 
 (b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of
Section 4.11(a): 
 (1) any employment agreement or arrangement, equity award, equity option or equity appreciation
agreement, plan agreement or similar compensation arrangement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course
of business or that has been approved by a majority of disinterested members of the Board and any payments or awards pursuant thereto; 

(2) transactions between or among (A) the Company and one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries and (B) any
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company; 

  
 57 

 (3) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns an Equity Interest in or otherwise controls such Person; 
 (4)
transactions pursuant to any administrative services agreement, any real property lease agreements and other arrangements with respect to accounting, treasury, information technology, insurance and other corporate services, general overhead and
other administrative matters and expense reimbursements and any other agreements or arrangements in effect on the Issue Date, or any amendment, modification, or supplement thereto or replacement thereof, as long as such agreement or arrangement, as
so amended, modified, supplemented or replaced, taken as a whole, is not materially less favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the agreement or arrangement in existence on the Issue Date; 

(5) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, including pursuant to any
master services agreement and any services agreement, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries than those that could reasonably be expected to have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries with a Person who is not an Affiliate of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company; 
 (6) loans or advances to officers, directors, managers and employees for moving, entertainment and travel
expenses, drawing accounts and similar expenditures and other purposes, in each case, in the ordinary course of business; 

(7) maintenance in the ordinary course of business of customary benefit programs or arrangements for employees, officers,
directors or managers, including vacation plans, health and life insurance plans, deferred compensation plans and retirement or savings plans and similar plans; 

(8) fees and compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, managers, employees or consultants
of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in their capacity as such, to the extent such fees and compensation are reasonable and customary; 

(9) issuances and sales of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (10) any Permitted Investments of Restricted Payments that are permitted by
Section 4.07; 
 (11) transactions pursuant to agreements or arrangements (including the Separation Documents) in effect
on the Issue Date, or any amendment, 

  
 58 

 
modification, or supplement thereto or replacement thereof, as long as such agreement or arrangement, as so amended, modified, supplemented or replaced is not materially more disadvantageous to
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, than the agreement or arrangement in existence on the Issue Date; and 

(12) any transaction in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, deliver to the Trustee a
letter from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction meets the requirements of clause (1) of Section 4.11(a). 

Section 4.12. Limitation on Liens. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or otherwise
cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness upon any of its property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless: 

(1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, the Notes
or Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable, are contemporaneously secured by a Lien on such property or assets on a senior basis to the Subordinated Indebtedness so secured with the same priority that the Notes or Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable,
have to such Subordinated Indebtedness until such time as such Subordinated Obligations are no longer so secured by a Lien; and 

(2) in the case of Liens securing Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, the Notes or
Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable, are contemporaneously secured by a Lien on such property or assets on an equal and ratable basis with the Senior Indebtedness so secured until such time as such Senior Indebtedness is no longer so secured by a
Lien. 
 Section 4.13. Additional Guarantees. 

(a) Upon the full repayment or refinancing of the 2019 Notes after the Issue Date (i) each Domestic Subsidiary of the Company that has
outstanding Indebtedness or has outstanding guarantees of Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness or such guarantee exceeding $15.0 million at the time of such full repayment or refinancing of the 2019 Notes will become a
Subsidiary Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the Trustee within 45 days of such repayment or refinancing of the 2019 Notes and (ii) each Domestic Subsidiary of the Company that incurs any Indebtedness or
guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in an aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness or such guarantee exceeding $15.0 million, will become a Subsidiary Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and
delivering it to the Trustee within 45 days of the end of the fiscal quarter during which it guaranteed or incurred such other Indebtedness. Prior to the full repayment or refinancing of the 2019 Notes, each Domestic Subsidiary of the Company (other
than SSO or a Subsidiary of SSO) that has outstanding Indebtedness or has 

  
 59 

 
guaranteed any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor and the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred or guaranteed by such Restricted Subsidiary exceeds $15.0
million, then that Subsidiary must become a Subsidiary Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Annex A hereto and delivering it to the Trustee within 45 days of the end of the fiscal quarter during which it
guaranteed or incurred such other Indebtedness. The foregoing requirement does not apply to Subsidiaries of the Company that have properly been designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Indenture for so long as they continue to
constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Any Subsidiary Guarantee of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was incurred pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall be subject to the release and other provisions under Article 8 and Article 10 hereof.

 (b) The parent entity of the Company may elect to guarantee the Notes; provided, however, that such entity shall not
become subject to the covenants contained in this Indenture by virtue of having delivered such guarantee. [Following consummation of the Conversion and the distribution by Chesapeake Energy Corporation of outstanding shares of common stock of the
Company to Chesapeake Energy Corporation’s shareholders, the Company will not have a parent entity.] 
 Section 4.14. Existence. 

Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms hereof (including consolidation and merger permitted by Section 5.01), the Company
shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, and the existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be
amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve the existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries if the Company shall
determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders. 

Section 4.15. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to
$2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount
of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail to each Holder a notice describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change
of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in the notice (the “Change in Control Payment Date”), which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed,
pursuant to the procedures required by this Section 4.15 and described in such notice. 

  
 60 

 (b) Promptly following the expiration of the Change in Control Offer, the Company will, to the
extent lawful, accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Promptly after such acceptance, the Company will, on the Change of Control Payment Date: 

(1) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes
properly so tendered; and 
 (2) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an
Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 
 (c) The
Paying Agent will promptly mail or wire transfer to each Holder of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn the Change of Control Payment for such Notes (or, if all the Notes are then in global form, make such payment through the facilities of
DTC), and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any, by such Holder; provided
that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest payment record date and on or before the related interest payment
date, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no other interest will be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.
Any Note so accepted for payment will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date, unless the Company defaults in making the Change of Control Payment. 

(d) The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control
Payment Date. 
 (e) The provisions described above in this Section that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a
Change of Control will be applicable regardless of whether any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable, except as described in the Section 4.15(f). 

(f) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control
Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.15 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the
Change of Control Offer or if notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. 

(g) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control,
if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. 

  
 61 

 (h) In the event that not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding
Notes are properly tendered and not withdrawn under a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described in this Section 4.15, purchases all of such Notes, the
Company will have the right, upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date, to redeem all of the notes that remain outstanding following such
purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remain outstanding to the date of redemption of such Notes.

 (i) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Section 4.15, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance. 

Section 4.16. Covenant Suspension and Termination. 

(a) If on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating by either S&P or Moody’s and
(ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), then
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.18 and clause (4) of Section 5.01 of this Indenture (collectively, the “Suspended
Covenants”) during the Suspension Period (as defined below). However, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will remain subject to all of the other provisions of this Indenture. 

(b) In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any
period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) S&P or Moody’s, as applicable, (1) withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes below an
Investment Grade Rating and/or (2) the Company or any of its Affiliates enters into an agreement to effect a transaction and S&P or Moody’s indicates that if consummated, such transaction (alone or together with any related
recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause it to withdraw its Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to
future events, including, without limitation, a proposed transaction described in the immediately preceding clause (2). 
 (c) The period of
time between the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.” Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Asset
Sale Proceeds shall be reset at zero. In the event of any such reinstatement of the Suspended Covenants, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement will give rise to a
Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with 

  
 62 

 
respect to the Notes; provided that with respect to Restricted Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though
Section 4.07 had been in effect prior to, and during, the Suspension Period. The Company may not designate any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as an Unrestricted Subsidiary during a Suspension Period unless such designation could otherwise be
made if the Suspended Covenants were not suspended at such time and the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries were subject thereto and a Default is not occurring or would occur as a result of such designation. All Indebtedness incurred during the
Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to clause (2) of Section 4.09(b). 
 (d) If on any date
following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating by both S&P and Moody’s and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, then the obligation of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries to comply with the Suspended Covenants will be permanently terminated. 
 Section 4.17. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted
Subsidiaries. 
 The Board of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that
designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the
Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a) or represent Permitted Investments,
as determined by the Company. That designation shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Subsidiary so designated otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided,
however, that such covenant need not be complied with if the Subsidiary to be so designated has total assets of $1,000 or less. 

The Board of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if (1) all Indebtedness,
Liens and Investments of such Subsidiary outstanding or in existence immediately following such designation would, if incurred or made at such time by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, have been permitted to be incurred or made for all
purposes of this Indenture and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. 
 Section 4.18.
Addition of a Corporate Co-Issuer. 
 In the event that the Conversion has not been completed within 30 days of the Issue Date, the Company
will thereafter be required to cause one of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a corporation to become a co-issuer of the Notes under the indenture governing the Notes and to expressly assume as co-obligor all of the obligations of the Company
under the Notes and the indenture governing the Notes pursuant to a supplemental indenture thereto that will be executed and delivered to the Trustee no later than the 45th day after the Issue Date. Such Restricted Subsidiary will continue to be a
co-issuer of the Notes under the Indenture for so long as the Company is not a corporation.

 ARTICLE 5 

SUCCESSORS 
 Section 5.01. Merger,
Consolidation or Sale of Assets. 
 (a) The Company. 

The Company may not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (regardless of whether the Company is
the surviving Person); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), in one or more related
transactions, to another Person, unless: 
 (1) Either: (a) the Company is the surviving Person or (b) the Person
formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made (the “Successor”) is a Person organized or
existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided, however, that if the surviving Person or Successor, as applicable, is not a corporation, a Restricted
Subsidiary that is a corporation expressly assumes as co-obligor all of the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes pursuant to a supplemental indenture to this Indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee (for the avoidance
of doubt, nothing contained herein shall require a Restricted Subsidiary that is a corporation to act as a co-obligor of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes prior to the Conversion, subject, however, to the provisions of
Section 4.18); 
 (2) the Successor assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture (and the
Registration Rights Agreement, if any obligations thereunder remain unsatisfied) pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 

(3) immediately after such transaction or transactions, no Default or Event of Default exists; 

(4) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction or transactions, and the assumption of the obligations
as set forth in clause (2) above and the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, and the use of any net proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, (i) the Company or the Successor, as the case may be,
could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) or (ii) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company or the Successor, as the case may be, would be greater than
or equal to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction; 

  
 64 

 (5) each Subsidiary Guarantor, unless such Subsidiary Guarantor is the Person
with which the Company has entered into a transaction or transactions under this Section 5.01, will have confirmed to the Trustee in writing that its Subsidiary Guarantee will apply to the obligations of the Company or the Successor, as the
case may be, in accordance with the Notes, this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement; and 
 (6) the Company has
delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or disposition and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture; 

provided, however, that clause (4) above will not apply (i) if, in the good faith determination of the Board of the
Company, whose determination shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution, the principal purpose of such transaction is to change the state of incorporation of the Company, the organizational form of the Company or both (provided that at all
times after the 31st day after the Issue Date, there shall be at least one co-issuer of the Notes that is a corporation to the extent that the Company is not then a corporation), and any such transaction shall not have as one of its purposes the
evasion of the foregoing limitations; or (ii) to any consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(b) Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 A
Subsidiary Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (regardless of whether such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person,
other than the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, unless: 
 (1) immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
no Default or Event of Default exists; and 
 (2) either: 

(A) (i) such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person or (ii) the Person acquiring the properties or assets in any
such sale or other disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Subsidiary Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes and the Indenture
(including its Subsidiary Guarantee) on terms set forth in the Indenture; or 
 (B) such sale or other disposition is made
in compliance with the provisions of Section 4.10. 
 Upon any consolidation or merger of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor in
circumstances in which such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee is not being released, or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor 

  
 65 

 
in accordance with the foregoing in circumstances in which such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee is not being released, in which the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor is not
the continuing obligor under the Notes or its Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, the surviving entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor is merged or the Person to which the sale, conveyance, lease,
transfer, disposition or assignment is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees with the same
effect as if such surviving entity had been named therein as the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor and, except in the case of a lease, the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, will be released from the obligation to pay the
principal of and interest on the Notes or in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, and all of the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s other obligations and covenants under the Notes and the Indenture (including such
Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee), if applicable. 
 Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase
“substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve “all
or substantially all” of the properties or assets of a Person. 
 Section 5.02. Successor Substituted. 

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
properties or assets or reorganization of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the successor formed by such consolidation or reorganization or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer,
lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company herein and shall be substituted for
the Company (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, reorganization, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Company” shall refer instead
to the successor and (except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company) not to the Company); and thereafter, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of
the Company, the Company shall be discharged and released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes. The Trustee shall enter into a supplemental indenture to evidence the succession and substitution of such successor and
such discharge and release of the Company. 
 ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.01.
Events of Default. 
 An “Event of Default” occurs if one of the following shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever
the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be involuntary or be effected by operation of law): 
 (a) the
Company defaults in the payment when due of interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 

  
 66

Section 4.15 and any such failure continues for 30 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; 

(d) (i) except with respect to Section 4.03, the Company fails for 60 days after notice by the Trustee or the Holders

(e) a default occurs under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or
evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is
created after the Issue Date, if that default: 
 (1) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if
any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or 

(2) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity, 

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which
there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $75.0 million or more; provided that if any such default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such Indebtedness is repaid,
within a period of 30 days from the continuation of such default beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default and any consequential acceleration of the Notes shall be
automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree; 
 (f) the Company or any
of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company fails to pay final judgments (entered by a

 67 

 (g) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee is held in
any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its
Subsidiary Guarantee; 
 (h) the Company, any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary

 68 

 Section 6.02. Acceleration. 

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then-outstanding Notes, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest, Additional Interest, if any, and premium, if any, thereon. Notwithstanding the preceding, if an Event of Default specified in clause (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Company, all
outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, Additional Interest, if any, and premium, if any, thereon. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the then-outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except
with respect to nonpayment of principal, interest, premium or Additional Interest, if any, that have become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. 
 If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not
produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in
the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes
(including in connection with an offer to purchase) and except as provided in Section 9.02. 
 Upon any such waiver, such Default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05. Control by Majority. 

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to 

  
 69 

 
follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes. Holders of the Notes may not
enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if: 

(a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 

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

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

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, and premium, if
any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment
in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on
overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and Additional Interest, if any, 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. 

  
 70 

 Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and if the Trustee” shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and
shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any
Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10. Priorities. 

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

(a) to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all
compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the Trustee’s costs and expenses of collection; 

(b) to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional
Interest, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, respectively; and 

(c) to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

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

  
 71 

 Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted
by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees 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 of a
Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 

ARTICLE 7 
 TRUSTEE 

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee. 

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

examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 

(n) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized
at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, any
Subsidiary Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the TIA) after a Default has occurred and is
continuing, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

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

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a
notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, or premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Note, Trustee may withhold
notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default from Holders of the Notes if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 

Within 60 days after each July 15 beginning with July 15, 2015, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail
to the Holders of the Notes 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 twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be
transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2) and § 313(b)(1). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock
exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed or delisted on any stock exchange. 

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation as the Company and the Trustee may agree in writing for
the Trustee’s acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on 

  
 75 

 
compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in
addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance
of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense shall be determined to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors promptly of any claim for which it has received written notice and for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not relieve the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors
of their obligations hereunder. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate litigation counsel and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if they assume the Trustee’s defense with litigation counsel acceptable to and
approved by the Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Trustee in connection with such defense. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors need not pay for any
settlement made without their consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary Guarantors need reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnity against any liability or loss of the Trustee to the
extent such expense, liability or loss is determined to have been caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee. 

The obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 To secure the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ payment
obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy
Law. 
 The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

  
 76 

 The immunities, protections and exculpations available to the Trustee under this Indenture shall
also be available to each Agent, and the Company’s obligations under this Section 7.07 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee shall extend likewise to each Agent. 

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

The Trustee may resign in writing upon 30 days’ notice at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the
Company. The Holders of Notes of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing and may appoint a successor trustee with the consent of the Company. The
Company may remove the Trustee if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; 

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c) a receiver, Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

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

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the
expense of the Company), the Company or the Holders of Notes of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder of a Note who has been a Holder of a Note for at least six months, fails to comply with
Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder of a Note may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders
of the Notes. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been 

  
 77 

 
paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s and the Subsidiary
Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.09. Successor
Trustee by Merger, etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate
trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. As soon as practicable, the successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Company and the Holders of the
Notes. 
 Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million
as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b). 
 Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of
Claims Against the Company. 
 The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b).
A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 ARTICLE 8 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

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

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have discharged its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to have discharged its obligations with respect
to its Subsidiary Guarantee, on the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged 

  
 78 

 
its Subsidiary Guarantee (which in each case shall 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 (a) and (b) below) and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes or Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in
Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section and in Section 8.05, payments in respect of the principal of, and premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due,
(b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 2.09 and 4.02 hereof and the Appendix, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and (d) the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Article 8. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 If the Company exercises its Legal
Defeasance option, each Subsidiary Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, and any security for the Notes (other than the trust) will be released. 

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Article 4 (other than those in Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.06 and 4.14)
hereof on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent
or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be
deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any
term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition,
upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(e) through 6.01(f) hereof
shall not constitute Events of Default. 
 If the Company exercises its Covenant Defeasance option, each Subsidiary Guarantor will be
released and relieved of any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and any security for the Notes (other than the trust) will be released.

(2) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that,
and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax
on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c)

Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting Liens to secure such borrowings;

(f) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the
intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and 

(g) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

the written request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 or 8.08 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) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance,
Covenant Defeasance or Discharge, as the case may be. 
 Section 8.06. Repayment to the Company. 

Subject to applicable escheat and abandoned property laws, any money or non-callable Government Securities deposited with the Trustee or any
Paying. Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, interest
or Additional Interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the
Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money or non-callable Government Securities, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof,
shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before 

  
 81 

 
being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such
money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.08 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.05 hereof; provided,
however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of or premium, if any, interest, Additional Interest, if any, on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders

 Section 8.08. Satisfaction and Discharge.

 This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder (except for (a) the

(1) either: 

(a) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes

 82 

 (2) in respect of clause 1(b) above, no Default or Event of Default has occurred

and the deposit 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 the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and in
each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

Upon the request of the Company authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of
the documents described in Section 9.06 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make
any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise. 
 Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Except as provided above in Section 9.01 and below in this Section 9.02, this Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented

 84 

 (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter any

(e) make any Note payable in currency other than that stated in the Notes; 

(f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or Events of Default or the rights

(g) waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any Note; 

(h) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture, except in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or 
 (i) make any change in the preceding amendment, supplement and waiver
provisions. 
 Upon the request of the Company, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent
of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental
indenture, unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such
amended or supplemental indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

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

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with the
TIA as then in effect. 
 A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a
purchase, tender or exchange of such Holder’s Notes shall not be rendered invalid by such purchase, tender or exchange. 
 Section 9.04.
Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a
continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such
Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. 

An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

The Company 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 sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons,
shall be entitled to consent to such amendment or waiver or revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such
record date except to the extent that the requisite number of consents to the amendment, supplement or waiver have been obtained within such 90-day period or as set forth in the next paragraph of this Section 9.04. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses
(a) through (i) of Section 9.02, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same
indebtedness as the consenting Holder’s Note. 
 Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company, in
exchange for all Notes, may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure
to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

  
 86 

 Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such amendment or supplement, the Trustee shall receive and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully
protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating, in addition to the matters required by Section 11.05, that such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and all conditions
precedent required hereunder to such amendment or supplement have been satisfied. 
 ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTEES OF NOTES 
 Section 10.01.
Subsidiary Guarantees. 
 Subject to this Article 10, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally
guarantees, on a senior unsecured basis, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes held thereby
and the Obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and premium, if any, interest and 
 Additional
Interest, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, upon repurchase or redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and
premium (to the extent permitted by law), if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, and all other payment Obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full and
performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, upon repurchase or redemption or otherwise. Failing payment when so due of any amount so guaranteed for
whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default under the Subsidiary Guarantees, and shall
entitle the Holders to accelerate the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder in the same mariner and to the same extent as the Obligations of the Company. 

The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to
enforce the same or any other circumstance (other than complete performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further, to the extent permitted by law,
hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever
and covenants that its Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 

  
 87 

 If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the
Subsidiary Guarantors, or any Custodian, Trustee or other similar official acting in relation to any of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the
Subsidiary Guarantees, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to, and hereby waives, any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in
respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the
one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of its Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby, and (b) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such Obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of its Subsidiary Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Subsidiary
Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantees. 
 Section 10.02.
Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability. 
 The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited
to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not
constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

Section 10.03. Subsidiary Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. 

(a) A Subsidiary Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or consolidate with
or merge with or into (whether or not ‘such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, unless (1) either (A) the Person acquiring the properties or assets in
any such sale or other disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor), pursuant to a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Annex A hereto, unconditionally
assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee, or (B) such sale or other disposition does not violate the provisions of Section 4.10, and (2) immediately after
giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists. 

  
 88 

 (b) Upon any consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor in circumstances in which such
Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee is not being released, or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Section 10.03(a) in circumstances in which such Subsidiary
Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee is not being released, in which the Subsidiary Guarantor is not the continuing obligor under its Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, the surviving entity formed by such consolidation or into which such
Subsidiary Guarantor is merged or the Person to which the sale, conveyance, lease, transfer, disposition or assignment is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, such Subsidiary Guarantor under this
Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantees with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named therein as such Subsidiary Guarantor and, except in the case of a lease, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be released from the obligation to pay
the principal of and interest on the Notes in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee, and all of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s other obligations and covenants under this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee, if applicable. 

(c) In the case of any such consolidation or merger and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and
delivered to the Trustee and substantially in the form of Annex A hereto, of the Subsidiary Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all ‘of the covenants of this Indenture to be performed by the Subsidiary Guarantor, such successor
Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Subsidiary Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Subsidiary Guarantor. 

Section 10.04. Releases of Subsidiary Guarantees. 

The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor automatically shall be released: (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of that Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10; (2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to
such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10 and the Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of such sale or other
disposition; (3) if the Company designates that Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.17 of this Indenture; (4) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or Discharge in accordance with
Article 8; or (5) in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor, at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be directly liable for, or guarantee any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate amount in
excess of $15.0 million. 
 Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that any of the
conditions described in the foregoing clauses (1) through (5) has occurred, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to evidence the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under
its Subsidiary Guarantee. Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes
and for the other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10. 

  
 89 

 Section 10.05. Execution and Delivery of Guaranty. 

The execution by each Subsidiary Guarantor of this Indenture (or a Supplemental Indenture) evidences the Subsidiary Guaranty of such
Subsidiary Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Subsidiary Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due
delivery of the Subsidiary Guaranty set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 Section 10.06. “Trustee” to
Include Paying Agent. 
 In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed and be then acting hereunder,
the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 10 shall in each case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully and for all intents and purposes as if
such Paying Agent were named in this Article 10 in place of the Trustee.

coupons with the global Notes legend and restricted Notes legend set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto (each, a “Restricted Global Note”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers

 Members of, or participants in, the
Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository or by the Trustee as the custodian of the Depository or under such Global Note, and the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depository as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the

 Beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note representing Rule 144A Notes may be transferred

a written certificate (in the form provided in Exhibit 1 hereto) to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available). 

(c) Certificated Notes. Except as provided in Section 2.3 or 2.4, owners of beneficial interests in Restricted Global Notes shall
not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Notes. Certificated Notes shall not be exchangeable for beneficial interests in Global Notes. 

2.2 Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver: (1) on the Initial Issuance Date, an aggregate principal amount of
$500.0 million of Notes, (2) any Additional Notes for an original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in the written order of the Company pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Indenture and (3) Exchange Notes or Private
Exchange Notes for issue only in a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange, respectively, pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, for a like principal amount of Initial Notes, in each case upon a written order of the Company. Such order
shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and to whom the Notes shall be registered and delivered and, in the case of any issuance of Additional Notes pursuant to
Section 2.13 of the Indenture, shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.09 of the Indenture. 
 2.3
Transfer and Exchange. 
 (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. (i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or
beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depository therefor. A transferor of a
beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial
interest in the Global Note. The Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions instruct the Depository to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note and to debit the account of
the Person making the transfer of the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Appendix, a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository
or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. 

  
 App - 4 

 (iii) In the event that a Restricted Global Note is exchanged for Notes in
certificated form pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Appendix, prior to the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Notes, such Notes may be exchanged only in
accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with
Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company. 

(iv) Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Note may be
exchanged for beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Note of the same series only if: 
 (1) the exchange occurs in connection
with a transfer of the Notes pursuant to Rule 144A; 
 (2) the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written
certificate (in the form provided in the Indenture) to the effect that the Notes are being transferred; 
 (3) to a Person
who (A) the transferor reasonably believes to be a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A and (2) is purchasing for its own account or the account of a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the
requirements of Rule 144A; and 
 (4) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States
and other jurisdictions. 
 (v) Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of
an interest in the Regulation S Global Note of the same series, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the
Indenture) to the effect that the transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144. 
 (vi)
Transfers involving exchanges of beneficial interests between a Regulation S Note and a Rule 144A Note will be effected by DTC by means of an instruction originated by the Trustee through the DTC Deposit/Withdraw at Custodian system. Accordingly, in
connection with any such transfer, appropriate adjustments will be made to reflect the changes in the principal amounts of the Regulation S Note and the Rule 144A Note, as applicable. Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is
transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the other Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in the original Global Note and will become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will
thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interest in the other Global Note.

 (b) Legend. 

(i) Except as permitted by the following paragraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv), each Note certificate evidencing the Restricted
Global Notes (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

THE SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) EVIDENCED HEREBY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SECTION 5 OF THE
UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH
PURCHASER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY AGREES
FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT (A) SUCH SECURITY MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (1)(a) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN
RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (b) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A FOREIGN
PERSON IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 903 OR RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (c) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF APPLICABLE) OR
(d) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT (AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY IF THE COMPANY SO REQUESTS), (2) TO THE COMPANY OR (3) PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO,
NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN CLAUSE (A) ABOVE. NO REPRESENTATION CAN BE MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 FOR RESALE OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED
HEREBY. 
 (ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security (including any Transfer Restricted Security
represented by a Restricted Global Note) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall permit the transferee thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a certificated Note that does not

  
 App - 6 

 
bear the legend set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security, if the transferor thereof certifies in writing to the Registrar that such sale or
transfer was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note). 

(iii) After a transfer of any Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes pursuant to and during the period of the effectiveness of
a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, all requirements pertaining to legends on such Initial Note or such Private Exchange Note will cease to apply, the requirements
requiring any such Initial Note or such Private Exchange Note issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will cease to apply, and a certificated Initial Note or Private Exchange Note or an Initial Note or Private Exchange Note in global
form, in each case without restrictive transfer legends, will be available to the transferee of the Holder of such Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes upon exchange of such transferring Holder’s certificated Initial Note or Private Exchange
Note or directions to transfer such Holder’s interest in the Global Note, as applicable. 
 (iv) Upon the consummation
of a Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the Initial Notes, all requirements pertaining to such Initial Notes that Initial Notes issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will still apply with respect to Holders of such Initial Notes
that do not exchange their Initial Notes, and Exchange Notes in certificated or global form will be available to Holders that exchange such Initial Notes in such Registered Exchange Offer. 

(v) Upon the consummation of a Private Exchange with respect to the Initial Notes, all requirements pertaining to such Initial
Notes that Initial Notes issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will still apply with respect to Holders of such Initial Notes that do not exchange their Initial Notes, and Private Exchange Notes in global form with the global Notes
legend and the Restricted Notes legend set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto will be available to Holders that exchange such Initial Notes in such Private Exchange. 

(c) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for
certificated Notes, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned to the Depository for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note
is exchanged for certificated Notes, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Notes
Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, to reflect such reduction. 
 (d)
Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. 
 (i) To permit registrations of transfers and
exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate certificated Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s request. 

  
 App - 7 

 (ii) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge
payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 3.06, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.05 and of the Indenture). 
 (iii) The
Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, it need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 
 (iv) Prior to the due
presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (v) All Notes issued upon any
transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

(e) No Obligation of the Trustee. 

(i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a
participant in the Depository or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery
to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given
to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial
owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with
respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 
 (ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to
monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under Applicable Law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depository
participants, members or 

  
 App - 8 

 
beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly
required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

2.4 Certificated Notes. 

(a) A Global Note deposited with the Depository or with the Trustee as custodian for the Depository pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be
transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of certificated Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.3
and (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Note or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and in
either event a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and DTC notifies the Trustee of its decision to exchange the Global Notes. Interests in Global Notes
may also be exchanged for certificated Notes upon request of the Company and the Holder thereof if such interest is held by an Affiliate of the Company. 

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section shall be surrendered by the Depository or
the Notes Custodian to the Trustee located at its Corporate Trust Office to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global
Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of certificated Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations and registered in
such names as the Depository shall direct. Any certificated Note or Private Exchange Note delivered in exchange for an interest in the Global Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.3(b), bear the restricted Notes legend set forth

Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL NOTE] 

6.50% Senior Note due 2022 

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise
indicated. 
 1. Interest. Chesapeake Oilfield Operating, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (the “Company”),
promises to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note at 6.50% per annum [and shall pay the Additional Interest payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. References herein to
“interest” include any such Additional Interest then owing]4. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on July 15 and January 15 of each year, commencing
January 15, 2015, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the
next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and
premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any
applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders
of Notes at the close of business on the July 1 or January 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in
Section 2.11 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Holders must surrender Notes to the Paying Agent to collect payments of principal and premium, if any, together with accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. The Notes will
be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to
the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to any amounts due on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of
which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts. 
 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act
as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

 Ex. 1 to App - 5 

 4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 26,
2014 (“Indenture”) among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended
(15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company initially issued in an
aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000. 
 5. Optional Redemption. 

The Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company as provided in Section 3.07 of the Indenture. 

6. Mandatory Redemption. 

Except as set forth in Paragraph 7 below, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect
to the Notes or to repurchase the Notes at the option of the Holders. 
 7. Repurchase at Option of Holder. 

(a) As more fully described in Section 4.15 of the Indenture, if a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the
right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase: 
 (b) The Company may be
required to offer to repurchase Notes with proceeds of an Asset Sale in the circumstances described in Section 4.10 of the Indenture. 

8. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days (except as otherwise provided
in the Indenture if the notice is issued in connection with Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or Discharge) before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. If mailed in the manner provided for
in Section 3.03 of the Indenture, the notice of redemption shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not a Holder receives such notice. Failure to give timely notice or any defect in the notice shall not affect the validity
of the redemption. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. Subject to the requirements of
Section 3.05 of the Indenture, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 

9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. 

  
 Ex. 1 to App - 6 

 
The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes due on
transfer or exchange. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, they need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 
 10. Persons Deemed Owners. The
registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 11. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to
certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the
Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented (1) to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, (2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, (3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations
to Holders of the Notes pursuant to Article 5 of the Indenture, including the addition of any required co-issuer of the Notes, (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, provided that any change to conform the Indenture to the Offering Memorandum shall not be deemed to adversely affect such legal rights, (5) to secure the Notes or
the Subsidiary Guarantees pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture or otherwise, (6) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, (7) to add any additional Subsidiary
Guarantor or to evidence the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee or to add the guarantee of the Company’s parent entity or to evidence the release of such entity’s guarantee, in each case as provided in the
Indenture, (8) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, (9) to provide for the reorganization of the Company as any other form of entity
in accordance with the second paragraph of Section 5.01 of the Indenture, (10) to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee or (11) to conform the text of the Indenture or the
Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the “Description of Notes” was intended to be a substantially verbatim recitation of a provision of the
Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver to or under the Indenture or any Note may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting holder)
(a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption or
repurchase of the Notes (other than notice provisions and other than provisions relating to Sections 4.10 and 4.15 of the Indenture prior to the time the Company’s obligation to offer to repurchase the Notes arises); (c) reduce the rate of
or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; (d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of
the Notes by the Holders of at 

  
 Ex. 1 to App - 7 

 
least a majority in principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); (e) make any Note payable in currency other than that stated in
the Notes; (f) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the
Notes (other than as permitted in clause (h) below); (g) waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any Note; (h) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or the
Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; or (i) make any change in the amendment, supplement and waiver provisions contained in the Indenture. 

12. Defaults and Remedies. If any Event of Default set forth in the Indenture occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, by notice to the
Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the preceding, in the case of an Event
of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization described in Section 6.01(h) and (i) of the Indenture, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or
power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, interest, premium or Additional Interest) if it determines
that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and
its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes and except for provisions requiring the consent of
each affected Holder under Section 9.02 of the Indenture. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company is required within
10 days of becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 

13. Defeasance and Discharge. The Notes are subject to defeasance and discharge upon the terms and conditions specified in the
Indenture. 
 14. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, partner, employee, incorporator, manager
