		Re:	Separation Agreement

 

Dear Jeff:

 

This letter sets forth the substance of the
separation agreement (the “Agreement”) which Synthetic Biologics, Inc. (the “Company”) is offering to you
to aid in your employment transition.

 

1.           Separation.
The Company has accepted your resignation as President and CEO and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Your last
day of work with the Company and your employment and Board service termination date will be December 4, 2017 (the “Separation
Date”).

 

2.           Accrued
Salary and Vacation. On the next regular payroll date following the Separation Date, the Company will pay you all accrued salary
and all accrued and unused vacation earned through the Separation Date (the number of accrued and unused vacation days earned through
the Separation Date is 50 days), subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings. You will receive these payments regardless
of whether or not you sign this Agreement.

 

3.           Severance
Benefits. Although you are not eligible for severance benefits pursuant to the terms of your Employment Agreement dated February
27, 2017 (the “Employment Agreement’) if you execute and do not revoke this Agreement, the Company will provide you
with the following severance benefits:

 

a.           The
Company will make severance payments to you in the form of continuation of your base salary in effect on the Separation Date for
twelve (12) months following the Separation Date. These payments will be subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings
and will be made on the Company’s ordinary payroll dates, beginning with the first such date which occurs at least eight
(8) business days following the “Effective Date” as defined below, provided the Company has received the executed Agreement
from you on or before that date and further provided that no severance payment will be made prior to the first payroll period of
2018. The Company is offering severance to you in reliance on Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A. For purposes of Code Section
409A, your right to receive any installment payments under this letter (whether severance payments, reimbursements or otherwise)
shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall
at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment.

b.           If
you timely elect and remain eligible for continued coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay your COBRA premiums for coverage
for you and your dependents for twelve (12) month(s) following the Separation Date or until the date you become eligible for substantially
equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at
any time the Company determines that its payment of COBRA premiums on the Executive’s behalf would result in a violation
of applicable law (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health
Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of paying COBRA premiums pursuant to this Section, the Company shall pay the
Executive on the last day of each remaining month of the COBRA Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA
premium for such month, subject to applicable tax withholding (such amount, the “Special Severance Payment”),
such Special Severance Payment to be made without regard to the Executive’s payment of COBRA premiums and without regard
to the expiration of the COBRA period prior to the end of the COBRA Payment Period.

 

c.           The
Board will award you a $200,000 bonus for 2017, payable on the first regular payroll date which occurs at least eight (8) business
days following the “Effective Date” as defined below, provided the Company has received the executed Agreement from
you on or before that date and further provided that no severance payment will be made prior to the first payroll period of 2018.

 

d.           The
exercise period for your vested but unexercised equity interests will be extended to one (1) year following the Separation Date
or for the remaining term of the award(s), whichever is shorter.

 

4.           Benefit
Plans.

 

If you are currently participating in the Company’s
group health insurance plans, your participation as an employee will end on December 31, 2017. Thereafter, to the extent provided
by the federal COBRA law or, if applicable, state insurance laws, and by the Company’s current group health insurance policies,
you will be eligible to continue your group health insurance benefits at your own expense, with the option for certain health continuation
coverage payments to be made by the Company as described in Section 3 above. Later, you may be able to convert to an individual
policy through the provider of the Company’s health insurance, if you wish.

 

Your participation in Employer-Sponsored Group
Life Insurance and Short and Long Term Disability Insurance will cease as of December 31, 2017.

Deductions for the 401(k) Plan will end with
your last regular paycheck. You will receive information by mail concerning 401(k) plan rollover procedures should you be a participant
in this program.

 

5.           Equity
Interests. Vesting of equity granted to you as an employee will cease as of the Separation Date. You have been issued options
to purchase an aggregate of 3,387,333 shares of the Company’s common stock, of which options to purchase 2,438,832 shares
of common stock have vested as of the Separation Date.

 

6.           Other
Compensation or Benefits. You acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you will not receive any additional
compensation, severance or benefits after the Separation Date.

 

7.           Expense
Reimbursements. You have been issued a Company credit card, the Company will cancel this card effective December 4, 2017. You
agree that, within ten (10) days of the Separation Date, you will submit your final documented expense reimbursement statement
reflecting all business expenses you incurred through the Separation Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement. The Company
will reimburse you for reasonable business expenses pursuant to its regular business practice.

 

8.           Return
of Company Property. By the Separation Date, you agree to return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof)
and other Company property that you have had in your possession at any time, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes,
drawings, records, business plans and forecasts, financial information, specifications, computer-recorded information, tangible
property (including, but not limited to, computers), credit cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys; and, any materials
of any kind that contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof).
Please coordinate return of Company property with Steven Shallcross, Chief Financial Officer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, you may retain your lap top computer provided that you destroy all proprietary information of the Company contained
thereon. Receipt of the severance benefits described in Section 3 of this Agreement is expressly conditioned upon return of
all Company Property.

 

9.           Proprietary
Information and Post-Termination Obligations. Both during and after your employment you acknowledge your continuing obligations
under your Proprietary Information, Inventions Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Agreement not to use or disclose any confidential
or proprietary information of the Company and to refrain from certain solicitation and competitive activities. A copy of your Proprietary
Information, Inventions Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. If you have any doubts
as to the scope of the restrictions in your agreement, you should contact Steven Shallcross immediately to assess your compliance.
As you know, the Company will enforce its contract rights. Please familiarize yourself with the enclosed agreement which you signed.
Confidential information that is also a “trade secret,” as defined by law, may be disclosed (A) if it is made (i) in
confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (ii) solely
for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed
in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, in the event that you file a lawsuit for retaliation
by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, you may disclose the trade secret to your attorney and use the trade
secret information in the court proceeding, if you: (A) file any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) do not
disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal government agency, or

EMPLOYEE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND INVENTION
ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

 

In consideration of my
employment or continued employment by Synthetic Biologics, Inc., its subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, successors and assigns
(together “Company”), and the compensation paid to me now and during my employment with Company, I hereby enter
into this Employee Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (the “Agreement”) and agree as
follows:

 

		1.	Confidential
Information Protections.

 

1.1       Recognition
of Company’s Rights; Nondisclosure. I understand and acknowledge that my employment
by Company creates a relationship of confidence and trust with respect to Company’s Confidential Information (as defined
below) and that Company has a protectable interest therein. At all times during and after my employment, I will hold in confidence
and will not disclose, use, lecture upon, or publish any of Company’s Confidential Information, except as such disclosure,
use or publication may be required in connection with my work for Company, or unless an officer of Company expressly authorizes
such disclosure. I will obtain Company’s written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written,
oral, or otherwise) that discloses and/or incorporates any Confidential Information. I hereby assign to Company any rights I may
have or acquire in such Confidential Information and recognize that all Confidential Information shall be the sole and exclusive
property of Company and its assigns. I will take all reasonable precautions to prevent the inadvertent accidental disclosure of
Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), I shall not be held criminally
or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (1) is made in confidence
to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose
of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit
or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

 

1.2       Confidential
Information. The term “Confidential Information” shall mean any and
all confidential knowledge, data or information of Company. By way of illustration but not limitation, “Confidential Information”
includes (a) trade secrets, inventions, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, software in source or object code versions,
data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques and any other
proprietary technology and all Intellectual Property Rights therein (collectively, “Inventions”); (b) information
regarding research, development, new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements,
licenses, prices and costs, margins, discounts, credit terms, pricing and billing policies, quoting procedures, methods of obtaining
business, forecasts, future plans and potential strategies, financial projections and business strategies, operational plans, financing
and capital-raising plans, activities and agreements, internal services and operational manuals, methods of conducting Company
business, suppliers and supplier information, and purchasing; (c) information regarding customers and potential customers of Company,
including customer lists, names, representatives, their needs or desires with respect to the types of products or services offered
by Company, proposals, bids, contracts and their contents and parties, the type and quantity of products and services provided
or sought to be provided to customers and potential customers of Company and other non-public information relating to customers
and potential Customers; (d) information regarding any of Company’s business partners and their services, including names;
representatives, proposals, bids, contracts and their contents and parties, the type and quantity of products and services received
by Company, and other non-public information relating to business partners; (e) information regarding personnel, employee lists,
compensation, and employee skills; and (f) any other non-public information which a competitor of Company could use to the competitive
disadvantage of Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that, at all such times, I am free to use information
which was known to me prior to employment with Company or which is generally known in the trade or industry through no breach of
this Agreement or other act or omission by me, and I am free to discuss the terms and conditions of my employment with others to
the extent expressly permitted by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act.

 

    	 	1	 

     

    

 

1.3       Third
Party Information. I understand, in addition, that Company has received and in the future
will receive from third parties their confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information (“Third Party Information”)
subject to a duty on Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited
purposes. During my employment and thereafter, I will hold Third Party Information in confidence and will not disclose to anyone
(other than Company personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for Company) or use, except in connection
with my work for Company, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by an officer of Company in writing.

 

1.4       Term
of Nondisclosure Restrictions. I understand that Confidential Information and Third Party
Information is never to be used or disclosed by me, as provided in this Section 1. If a temporal limitation on my obligation not
to use or disclose such information is required under applicable law, and the Agreement or its restriction(s) cannot otherwise
be enforced, I agree and Company agrees that the two (2) year period after the date my employment ends will be the temporal limitation
relevant to the contested restriction, provided, however, that this sentence will not apply to trade secrets protected without
temporal limitation under applicable law. 

 

1.5       No
Improper Use of Information of Prior Employers and Others. During my employment by Company,
I will not improperly use or disclose confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person
to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality, and I will not bring onto the premises of Company any unpublished documents or
any property belonging to any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality unless consented
to in writing by that former employer or person. 

 

		2.	Assignments

or if I include any Excluded Inventions or Other Inventions in any product or service of Company, or if my rights in any Excluded
Inventions or Other Inventions may block or interfere with, or may otherwise be required for, the exercise by Company of any rights
assigned to Company under this Agreement, I will immediately so notify Company in writing. Unless Company and I agree otherwise
in writing as to particular Excluded Inventions or Other Inventions, I hereby grant to Company, in such circumstances (whether
or not I give Company notice as required above), a non-exclusive, perpetual, transferable, fully-paid and royalty-free, irrevocable
and worldwide license, with rights to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicensees, to reproduce, make derivative works of,
distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display in any form or medium, whether now known or later developed, make, have made,
use, sell, import, offer for sale, and exercise any and all present or future rights in, such Excluded Inventions and Other Inventions.
To the extent that any third parties have rights in any such Other Inventions, I hereby represent and warrant that such third party
or parties have validly and irrevocably granted to me the right to grant the license stated above.

2.3       Assignment
of Company Inventions. Inventions assigned to Company, or to a third party as directed
by Company pursuant to Section 2.6, are referred to in this Agreement as “Company Inventions.” Subject
to Section 2.4 (Unassigned or Nonassignable Inventions) and except for Excluded Inventions set forth in Exhibit A and Other
Inventions, I hereby assign to Company all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Intellectual
Property Rights with respect thereto) made, conceived, reduced to practice, or learned by me, either alone or with others, during
the period of my employment by Company. To the extent required by applicable Copyright laws, I agree to assign in the future (when
any copyrightable Inventions are first fixed in a tangible medium of expression) my Copyright rights in and to such Inventions.
Any assignment of Company Inventions (and all Intellectual Property Rights with respect thereto) hereunder includes an assignment
of all Moral Rights. To the extent such Moral Rights cannot be assigned to Company and to the extent the following is allowed by
the laws in any country where Moral Rights exist, I hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive the enforcement of such Moral
Rights, and all claims and causes of action of any kind against Company or related to Company’s customers, with respect to
such rights. I further acknowledge and agree that neither my successors-in-interest nor legal heirs retain any Moral Rights in
any Company Inventions (and any Intellectual Property Rights with respect thereto).

 

2.4       Unassigned
or Nonassignable Inventions. I recognize that this Agreement will not be deemed to require
assignment of any Invention that I developed entirely on my own time without using Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities,
trade secrets or Confidential Information, except for those Inventions that either (i) relate to Company’s actual or anticipated
business, research or development, or (ii) result from or are connected with work performed by me for Company. In addition, this
Agreement does not apply to any Invention which qualifies fully for protection from assignment to Company under any specifically
applicable state law, regulation, rule or public policy (“Specific Inventions Law”). 

 

2.5       Obligation
to Keep Company Informed. During the period of my employment and for one (1) year after
termination of my employment, I will promptly and fully disclose to Company in writing all Inventions authored, conceived, or reduced
to practice by me, either alone or jointly with others. In addition, I will promptly disclose to Company all patent applications
filed by me or on my behalf within one (1) year after termination of employment. At the time of each such disclosure, I will advise
Company in writing of any Inventions that I believe fully qualify for protection under the provisions of any applicable Specific
Inventions Law; and I will at that time provide to Company in writing all evidence necessary to substantiate that belief. Company
will keep in confidence and will not use for any purpose or disclose to third parties without my consent any confidential information
disclosed in writing to Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to Inventions that qualify fully for protection under a Specific
Inventions Law. I will preserve the confidentiality of any Invention that does not fully qualify for protection under a Specific
Inventions Law. 

 

2.6       Government
or Third Party.  I agree that, as directed by Company, I will assign to a third party,
including without limitation the United States, all my right, title, and interest in and to any particular Company Invention. 

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

2.7       Ownership
of Work Product. I agree that Company will exclusively own all work product that is made
by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment, and I hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assign to
Company all right, title, and interest worldwide in and to such work product. I acknowledge that all original works of authorship
which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment and which are protectable by Copyright are
“works made for hire,” pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101). I understand and agree that
I have no right to publish on, submit for publishing, or use for any publication any work product protected by this Section, except
as necessary to perform services for Company.

 

2.8       Enforcement
of Intellectual Property Rights and Assistance. I will assist Company in every proper
way to obtain, and from time to time enforce, United States and foreign Intellectual Property Rights and Moral Rights relating
to Company Inventions in any and all countries. To that end I will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such
other acts (including appearances as a witness) as Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting,
evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Intellectual Property Rights and the assignment thereof. In addition, I will execute,
verify and deliver assignments of such Intellectual Property Rights to Company or its designee, including the United States or
any third party designated by Company. My obligation to assist Company with respect to Intellectual Property Rights relating to
such Company Inventions in any and all countries will continue beyond the termination of my employment, but Company will compensate
me at a reasonable rate after my termination for the time actually spent by me at Company's request on such assistance. In the
event Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with
the actions specified in this paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company and its duly authorized officers and
agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in my behalf to execute,
verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph
with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. I hereby waive and quitclaim to Company any and all claims, of any nature
whatsoever, which I now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights assigned under this Agreement
to Company. 

 

2.9       Incorporation
of Software Code. I agree that I will not incorporate into any Company software or otherwise
deliver to Company any software code licensed under the GNU General Public License or Lesser General Public License or any other
license that, by its terms, requires or conditions the use or distribution of such code on the disclosure, licensing, or distribution
of any source code owned or licensed by Company except in strict compliance with Company’s policies regarding the use of
such software.

 

3.      Records.
I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings
and in any other form that is required by Company) of all Confidential Information developed by me and all Company Inventions made
by me during the period of my employment at Company, which records will be available to and remain the sole property of Company
at all times.

 

4.      Duty
of Loyalty During Employment. I agree that during the period of my employment by Company
I will not, without Company's express written consent, directly or indirectly engage in any employment or business activity which
is directly or indirectly competitive with, or would otherwise conflict with, my employment by Company.

 

5.      No
Solicitation of Employees, Consultants, Contractors, or Customers or Potential Customers. I
agree that during the period of my employment and for the one (1) year period after the date
my employment ends for any reason, including but not limited to voluntary termination by me or involuntary termination by Company,
I will not, as an officer, director, employee, consultant, owner, partner, or in any other capacity, either directly or through
others, except on behalf of Company:

 

5.1       solicit,
induce, encourage, or participate in soliciting, inducing or encouraging any person known to me to be an employee, consultant,
or independent contractor of Company to terminate his or her relationship with Company, even if I did not initiate the discussion
or seek out the contact;

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

5.2       solicit,
induce, encourage, or participate in soliciting, inducing, or encouraging any person known to me to be an employee, consultant,
or independent contractor of Company to terminate his or her relationship with Company to render services to me or any other person
or entity that researches, develops, markets, sells, performs or provides or is preparing to develop, market, sell, perform or
provide Conflicting Services (as defined in Section 6 below);

 

5.3       hire,
employ, or engage in a business venture with as partners or owners or other joint capacity, or attempt to hire, employ, or engage
in a business venture as partners or owners or other joint capacity, with any person then employed by Company or who has left the
employment of Company within the preceding three (3) months to research, develop, market, sell, perform or provide Conflicting
Services;

 

5.4       solicit,
induce or attempt to induce any Customer or Potential Customer (as defined below), to terminate, diminish, or materially alter
in a manner harmful to Company its relationship with Company; 

 

5.5       solicit
or assist in the solicitation of any Customer or Potential Customer to induce or attempt to induce such Customer or Potential Customer
to purchase or contract for any Conflicting Services; or

 

5.6       perform,
provide or attempt to perform or provide any Conflicting Services for a Customer or Potential Customer.

 

The parties agree that for
purposes of this Agreement, a “Customer or Potential Customer” is any person or entity who or which, at any
time during the one (1) year period prior to my contact with such person or entity as described in Sections 5.4-5.6 above if such
contact occurs during my employment or, if such contact occurs following the termination of my employment, during the one (1) year
period prior to the date my employment with Company ends: (i) contracted for, was billed for, or received from Company any product,
service or process with which I worked directly or indirectly during my employment by Company or about which I acquired Confidential
Information; or (ii) was in contact with me or in contact with any other employee, owner, or agent of Company, of which contact
I was or should have been aware, concerning the sale or purchase of, or contract for, any product, service or process with which
I worked directly or indirectly during my employment with Company or about which I acquired Confidential Information; or (iii)
was solicited by Company in an effort in which I was involved or of which I was aware.

 

6.      Non-Compete
Provision. 

 

6.1       I
agree that for the one (1) year period after the date my employment ends for any reason, including but not limited to voluntary
termination by me or involuntary termination by Company, I will not, directly or indirectly, as an officer, director, employee,
consultant, owner, partner, or in any other capacity solicit, perform, or provide, or attempt to perform or provide Conflicting
Services (defined below) anywhere in the Restricted Territory (defined below), nor will I assist another person to solicit, perform
or provide or attempt to perform or provide Conflicting Services anywhere in the Restricted Territory. 

 

6.2       The
parties agree that for purposes of this Agreement, “Conflicting Services” means any product, service, or process
or the research and development thereof, of any person or organization other than Company that directly competes with a product,
service, or process, including the research and development thereof, of Company with which I worked directly or indirectly during
my employment by Company or about which I acquired Confidential Information during my employment by Company.

 

6.3       The
parties agree that for purposes of this Agreement, “Restricted Territory” means the fifty (50)  mile radius
of any of the following locations: (i) any Company business location at which I have worked on a regular or occasional basis during
the preceding year; (ii) my home if I work from home on a regular or occasional basis; (iii) any potential business location of
Company under active consideration by Company to which I have traveled in connection with the consideration of that location; (iv)
the primary business location of a Customer or Potential Customer; or (v) any business location of a Customer or Potential Customer
where representatives of the Customer or Potential Customer with whom I have been in contact in the preceding year are based. 

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

7.      Reasonableness
of Restrictions.

 

7.1       I
agree that I have read this entire Agreement and understand it. I agree that this Agreement does not prevent me from earning a
living or pursuing my career. I agree that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable, proper, and necessitated
by Company’s legitimate business interests. I represent and agree that I am entering into this Agreement freely and with
knowledge of its contents with the intent to be bound by the Agreement and the restrictions contained in it.

 

7.2       In
the event that a court finds this Agreement, or any of its restrictions, to be ambiguous, unenforceable, or invalid, Company and
I agree that the court will read the Agreement as a whole and interpret the restriction(s) at issue to be enforceable and valid
to the maximum extent allowed by law.

 

7.3       If
the court declines to enforce this Agreement in the manner provided in subsection 7.2, Company and I agree that this Agreement
will be automatically modified to provide Company with the maximum protection of its business interests allowed by law and I agree
to be bound by this Agreement as modified.

 

7.4       Furthermore,
the parties agree that the market for Company’s products is worldwide. If, however, after applying the provisions of subsections
7.2 and 7.3, a court still decides that this Agreement or any of its restrictions is unenforceable for lack of reasonable geographic
limitation and the Agreement or restriction(s) cannot otherwise be enforced, the parties hereby agree that the fifty (50)
mile radius from any location at which I worked for Company on either a regular or occasional basis during the one (1) year immediately
preceding termination of my employment with Company shall be the geographic limitation relevant to the contested restriction. 

 

8.      No
Conflicting Agreement or Obligation. I represent that my performance of all the terms
of this Agreement and as an employee of Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence information acquired
by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by Company. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into,
any agreement either written or oral in conflict with this Agreement.

 

9.      Return
Of Company Property.  When I leave the employ of Company, I will deliver to Company any
and all drawings, notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas and documents, together with all copies thereof, and any
other material containing or disclosing any Company Inventions, Third Party Information or Confidential Information of Company.
I agree that I will not copy, delete, or alter any information contained upon my Company computer or Company equipment before I
return it to Company. In addition, if I have used any personal computer, server, or e-mail system to receive, store, review, prepare
or transmit any Company information, including but not limited to, Confidential Information, I agree to provide Company with a
computer-useable copy of all such Confidential Information and then permanently delete and expunge such Confidential Information
from those systems; and I agree to provide Company access to my system as reasonably requested to verify that the necessary copying
and/or deletion is completed. I further agree that any property situated on Company’s premises and owned by Company, including
disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company’s personnel at any
time with or without notice. Prior to leaving, I will cooperate with Company in attending an exit interview and completing and
signing Company’s termination statement if required to do so by Company. 

 

10.    Legal
and Equitable Remedies.

 

10.1     I
agree that it may be impossible to assess the damages caused by my violation of this Agreement or any of its terms. I agree that
any threatened or actual violation of this Agreement or any of its terms will constitute immediate and irreparable injury to Company,
and Company will have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other
equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that Company may have for a breach or threatened
breach of this Agreement.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

10.2     I
agree that if Company is successful in whole or in part in any legal or equitable action against me under this Agreement, Company
will be entitled to payment of all costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, from me. 

 

10.3     In
the event Company enforces this Agreement through a court order, I agree that the restrictions of Sections 5 and 6 will remain
in effect for a period of twelve (12) months from the effective date of the Order enforcing the Agreement. 

 

11.    Notices.
Any notices required or permitted under this Agreement will be given to Company at its headquarters
location at the time notice is given, labeled “Attention Chief Executive Officer,” and to me at my address as listed
on Company payroll, or at such other address as Company or I may designate by written notice to the other. Notice will be effective
upon receipt or refusal of delivery. If delivered by certified or registered mail, notice will be considered to have been given
five (5) business days after it was mailed, as evidenced by the postmark. If delivered by courier or express mail service, notice
will be considered to have been given on the delivery date reflected by the courier or express mail service receipt.

 

12.    Publication
of This Agreement to Subsequent Employer or Business Associates of Employee.

 

If I am offered employment
or the opportunity to enter into any business venture as owner, partner, consultant or other capacity while the restrictions described
in Sections 5 [and 6] of this Agreement are in effect I agree to inform my potential employer, partner, co-owner and/or others
involved in managing the business with which I have an opportunity to be associated of my obligations under this Agreement and
also agree to provide such person or persons with a copy of this Agreement.

 

12.1    I
agree to inform Company of all employment and business ventures which I enter into while the restrictions described in Sections
5 and 6 of this Agreement are in effect and I also authorize Company to provide copies of this Agreement to my employer, partner,
co-owner and/or others involved in managing the business with which I am employed or associated and to make such persons aware
of my obligations under this Agreement. 

 

13.    General
Provisions.

 

13.1    Governing
Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed
according to the laws of the State of Maryland as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely
within Maryland between Maryland residents. I hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and
federal courts located in Rockville, Maryland for any lawsuit filed there against me by Company arising from or related to this
Agreement. 

 

13.2    Severability.
In case any one or more of the provisions, subsections, or sentences contained in this Agreement will, for any reason, be held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the other
provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never
been contained in this Agreement. If moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement will for any reason
be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it will be construed by limiting and reducing
it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it will then appear.

 

13.3    Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement is for my benefit and the benefit of Company, its successors,
assigns, parent corporations, subsidiaries, affiliates, and purchasers, and will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators
and other legal representatives.

 

13.4    Survival.
This Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment, regardless of the reason, and the assignment of this Agreement by
Company to any successor in interest or other assignee.

 

13.5    Employment
At-Will. I agree and understand that nothing in this Agreement will change my at-will
employment status or confer any right with respect to continuation of employment by Company, nor will it interfere in any way with
my right or Company's right to terminate my employment at any time, with or without cause or advance notice.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

13.6     Waiver.
No waiver by Company of any breach of this Agreement will be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by Company
of any right under this Agreement will be construed as a waiver of any other right. Company will not be required to give notice
to enforce strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement.

 

13.7     Export.
I agree not to export, reexport, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data acquired from Company or any products
utilizing such data, in violation of the United States export laws or regulations.

 

13.8     Advice
of Counsel. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL
COUNSEL, AND I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE CONSTRUED
AGAINST ANY PARTY BY REASON OF THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

13.9     Entire
Agreement. The obligations pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 (except Subsection 2.4) of this
Agreement will apply to any time during which I was previously engaged, or am in the future engaged, by Company as a consultant
if no other agreement governs nondisclosure and assignment of inventions during such period. This Agreement is the final, complete
and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes and merges all prior
discussions between us; provided, however, prior to the execution of this Agreement, if Company and I were parties to any agreement
regarding the subject matter hereof, that agreement will be superseded by this Agreement prospectively only. No modification
of or amendment to this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change
or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

Subsidiaries) in any line item in such Person’s consolidated financial statements in such period pursuant to GAAP resulting from the application of purchase accounting in relation to any completed acquisition. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (1)(b) through (e) relating to amounts of a Restricted Subsidiary of a Person will be added to
Consolidated Net Income to compute Consolidated EBITDA of such Person only to the extent (and in the same proportion) that the net income (loss) of such Restricted Subsidiary was included in calculating the Consolidated Net Income of such Person
and, to the extent the amounts set forth in clauses (1)(b) through (e) are in excess of those necessary to offset a net loss of such Restricted Subsidiary or if such Restricted Subsidiary has net income for such period included in Consolidated
Net Income, only if a corresponding amount would be permitted at the date of determination to be dividended to the Company by such Restricted Subsidiary without prior approval, pursuant to the terms of its charter and all agreements, instruments,

“Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, with respect to any Person, the ratio of (x) the aggregate amount of
Consolidated EBITDA of such Person for the four full fiscal quarters, treated as one period, for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date of the transaction (the “Transaction Date”) (such four
full fiscal quarter period being referred to herein as the “Four Quarter Period”) giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to (y) the aggregate amount of Consolidated Fixed Charges of
such Person for such Four Quarter Period. In addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, for purposes of this definition, “Consolidated EBITDA” and “Consolidated Fixed Charges” shall be calculated after giving effect on
a pro forma basis for the period of such calculation, to any Asset Sales or other dispositions or Asset Acquisitions, investments, mergers, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) occurring during
the Four Quarter Period or any time subsequent to the last day of the Four Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such Asset Sale or other disposition or Asset Acquisition (including the Incurrence or assumption of any such
Acquired Debt and the accrual of any Consolidated EBITDA attributable to the assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale or other disposition or Asset Acquisition), investment, merger, consolidation or disposed operation occurred on the first day
of such Four Quarter Period. For purposes of this definition, pro forma calculations shall be made in the good faith determination of a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company, and any such pro forma calculation may
include, without limitation, adjustments calculated in accordance with Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission; provided that any cost savings and synergies shall be calculated on a basis
consistent with Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission. 

  
 8 

 Furthermore, in calculating this “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”: 

(1) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has Incurred any Debt since the beginning of the applicable Four Quarter Period
that remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio includes an Incurrence of Debt, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for
such Four Quarter Period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Debt as if such Debt had been Incurred on the first day of such Four Quarter Period and the discharge of any other Debt repaid, repurchased,
redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged with the proceeds of such new Debt as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such Four Quarter Period; 

(2) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged
any Debt since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period that is no longer outstanding on such Transaction Date or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio includes a discharge of Debt (in
each case, other than Debt Incurred under any revolving Debt Facility unless such Debt has been permanently repaid and the related commitment terminated and not replaced), Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving
effect on a pro forma basis to such discharge of Debt, including with the proceeds of such new Debt, as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such Four Quarter Period; 

(3) subject to clause (2) above, the amount of Debt under any revolving Debt Facility outstanding on the Transaction Date
(other than any Debt Incurred under such facility in connection with the transaction giving rise to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) will be deemed to be: (A) the average daily balance of such Debt during such Four
Quarter Period or such shorter period for which such facility was outstanding or (B) if such facility was created after the end of such Four Quarter Period, the average daily balance of such Debt during the period from the date of creation of
such facility to the date of such determination; 
 (4) interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at
an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP; 

(5) if any Debt to which pro forma effect is being given bears a floating rate of interest, the interest expense on such
Debt will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Transaction Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligation applicable to such Debt if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term as at the
Transaction Date in excess of 12 months); and 

  
 9 

 (6) if interest on any Debt actually Incurred on the Transaction Date may
optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four Quarter Period. 

If such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries directly or indirectly Guarantees Debt of a third Person and such Guarantee or the Debt
subject thereto is not otherwise included in the calculation of Consolidated Fixed Charges, the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall give effect to the Incurrence of such Guaranteed Debt as if such Person or such
Subsidiary had directly Incurred or otherwise assumed such Guaranteed Debt and as if such Guarantee occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period.

Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders; provided that the Company may not fix a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or
direction referred to in clause (f) above; provided further that if such a record date is fixed, only the beneficial owners of interests in such Global Note on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies shall be entitled
to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such beneficial owners remain beneficial owners of interests in such Global Note after such record date. No such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date. 

(j) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.04, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day
as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the
other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 12.01, on or prior to both the existing and the new Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set
pursuant to this Section 1.04, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 90th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the

(a) At least one Officer shall execute 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 a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. 
 (b) A Note shall not be
entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee. The signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 
 (c) On the Issue Date, the
Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), together with an enforceability opinion for such Initial Notes and the documents to which the Trustee is entitled under
Section 12.03 hereof, authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time and from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, together with an enforceability opinion for such Additional Notes and
the documents to which the Trustee is entitled under Section 12.03 hereof, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued hereunder. 

(d) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders, the Company or an Affiliate
of the Company. 
 (e) The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon receipt of an Authentication Order of the Company
signed by one Officer of the Company (i) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000, (ii) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes and (iii) any other Notes
issued in accordance with this Indenture. Such Authentication 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 whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes,
Additional Notes, Unrestricted Global Notes or other Notes. 
 Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. 

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

  
 46 

 (b) The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The
Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 

Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Company shall, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest
on any of the Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held in trust for the Holders entitled to the same, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of
its action or failure so to act. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held
by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall
serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.05. Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such
date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders. 
 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 and
in compliance with Appendix A. 
 (b) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request. 

(c) No service charge shall be imposed on any Holder by the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee or the Registrar for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental taxes and fees required by law or permitted by this Indenture in connection therewith. 

  
 47 

 (d) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange. 
 (e) Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (1) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any
Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (2) to register the transfer of or to
exchange any Note so selected for redemption, or tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in connection with an Offer to Purchase under Section 4.15 or Section 4.16, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of
any Note being redeemed or repurchased in part or (3) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

(f) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the
Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, and (subject to the Record Date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes and for all other
purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (g) Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.01, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 (h) At the option of
the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive
Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions
of Appendix A. 
 (i) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this
Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by mail or by facsimile or electronic transmission. 

Section 2.07. Replacement Notes. 
 If
a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the
Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order and such security or indemnity as may be 

  
 48 

 
provided to it, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are otherwise met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be provided by the
Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge the Holder
for the expenses of the Company and the Trustee in replacing a Note. Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes
duly issued hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, in case any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead
of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 
 Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. 

(a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does
not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; provided that Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company will not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(c).

 (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York. 

(c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to
accrue from and after the date of such payment. 
 (d) If a Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or an Affiliate of
any thereof) holds, on the maturity date, any redemption date or any date of purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, money sufficient to pay Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall
be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09. Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Notes beneficially owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver
or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the
Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and 

  
 49 

 
that the pledgee is not the Company or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the
Company or by any Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such Notes passes to such entity; provided, however, the Trustee
shall not be charged with such knowledge until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee is so informed in writing. 
 Section 2.10. Temporary Notes.

 Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, 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 and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without
unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits
accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture. 
 Section 2.11. Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and, upon written order of the Company, shall dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of
the cancellation of any Notes shall, upon the written request of the Company, be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (other than
as set forth in this Indenture). 
 Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. 

(a) If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent
lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of
such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted
interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than ten days prior to the related payment date
for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company,

  
 50 

 
the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or cause to be mailed
or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

(b) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon
registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue interest, which were carried by such other Note. 

Section 2.13. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers 

The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers
in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided 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 redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers. 

ARTICLE 3

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice

of the Notes for redemption or purchase, as applicable, shall be made in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC (in the case of Global Notes). 

(b) Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that
no Notes of $2,000 in principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for
redemption or purchase. 

  
 51 

 (c) After the redemption date or purchase date, upon surrender of a Note to be redeemed or
purchased in part only, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the original Note, representing the same Debt to the extent not redeemed or not purchased, shall be issued in the name of the Holder of
the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate book entries shall be made to reflect such partial redemption). 
 Section 3.03.
Notice of Redemption. 
 (a) The Company shall mail or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures
of the Depositary, or cause to be mailed (or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) notices of redemption of Notes not less than 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption
date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Article at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than
60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or 11. 
 (b) Any notice of redemption, whether
in connection with a Qualified Equity Offering or otherwise, may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s option and discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including,
but not limited to, completion of the related Qualified Equity Offering or other transaction. The Company shall notify the Trustee once the conditions to any such conditional notice of redemption have been satisfied. 

(c) The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP and ISIN number, if applicable) and shall state: 

(1) the redemption date; 

(2) the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest; provided that the
Company shall calculate the redemption price; provided, further, that in connection with a redemption under Section 3.07(b), the notice need not set forth the redemption price but only the manner of calculation thereof; 

(3) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed; 

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

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

  
 52 

 (6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment or the
Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 

(7) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption
are being redeemed; 
 (8) 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; 
 (9) if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more
conditions precedent, that, in the Company’s discretion, such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date; and 

(10) if applicable, that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such
redemption may be performed by another Person (it being understood that any such provision for payment by another Person will not relieve the Company and the Guarantors from their obligations with respect to such redemption). 

(d) At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s
expense; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice
shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.03(c). 

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the
redemption date at the redemption price (except as provided for in Section 3.03(a)). The notice, if mailed or delivered by electronic transmission in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not
the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any
other Note. Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. 

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

(a) No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the
Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or pay through the applicable procedures of DTC to
each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed or 

  
 53 

 
repurchased the applicable redemption or purchase price thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited
with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

(b) If the Company complies with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease to
accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If any Note called for redemption or purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with
Section 3.05(a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid
principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. 
 Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the
Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to the Holder (or cause to be transferred by book entry) at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing
the same Debt to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

Section 3.07. Optional Redemption. 

(a) Except pursuant to clauses (c) and (d) of this Section 3.07, the Notes shall not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior
to December 1, 2020. 
 (b) On and after December 1, 2020, the Company may redeem any Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice mailed or otherwise delivered to each Holder in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set
forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on December 1 of each of the years indicated below:

	  	 	103.938	% 
	 2021
	  	 	102.625	% 
	 2022
	  	 	101.313	% 
	 2023 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

  
 54 

 (c) Prior to December 1, 2020, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35%
of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated by the Company after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days’ notice mailed or otherwise delivered to each Holder in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, at a redemption price equal to 105.250% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but
not including, the applicable date of redemption; provided that (i) at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) remains outstanding after each
such redemption and (ii) such redemption occurs within 90 days after the closing of such Qualified Equity Offering. 
 (d) In addition,
at any time prior to December 1, 2020, the Company may redeem any Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed or otherwise delivered to each Holder in accordance with the applicable
procedures of DTC, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. 

(e) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06. 

(f) If the optional redemption date is on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and
unpaid interest in respect of Notes subject to redemption will be paid on the redemption date to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders
whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company. 
 Section 3.08. Mandatory Redemption. 

The Company is not, and will not be, required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However,
under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to offer to purchase the Notes pursuant to Section 4.15 and Section 4.16. The Company may at any time, and from time to time, acquire Notes by means other than a redemption, whether
by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

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 additional offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all

quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q (or any successor or comparable form) and 10-K (or any successor or comparable form) if the Company were required to file
such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s
certified independent accountants; and 
 (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on
Form 8-K (or any successor or comparable form) if the Company were required to file such reports, 
 in each case, in a manner that complies in all material
respects with the requirements specified in such form. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 4.06(a), the Company will not be obligated to
file such reports with the Commission if the Commission does not permit such filing, so long as the Company provides such information to the Trustee and the Holders and makes available such information to prospective purchasers of the Notes, in each
case at the Company’s expense and by the applicable date the Company would be required to file such information pursuant to Section 4.06(a). In addition, to the extent not satisfied by the foregoing, for so long as any Notes are
outstanding, the Company will furnish to Holders and to prospective purchasers of the Notes, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

  
 57 

 (c) The requirements set forth in Section 4.06(a) and 4.06(b) may be satisfied by delivering
such information to the Trustee and posting copies of such information on a website (which may be non-public and may be maintained by the Company or a third party) to which access will be given to Holders and
prospective purchasers of the Notes. 
 (d) At any time that the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, no later than five Business Days after the date of the annual and quarterly financial information for the prior fiscal period have been filed or furnished pursuant to clause (1) of
Section 4.06(a), the Company shall also hold live quarterly conference calls with the opportunity to ask questions of management. No fewer than ten Business Days prior to the date such conference call is to be held, the Company shall issue a
press release to the appropriate United States wire services announcing such quarterly conference call for the benefit of the Holders, beneficial owners of the Notes, prospective purchasers of the Notes, securities analysts and market making
financial institutions, which press release shall contain the time and the date of such conference call and direct the recipients thereof to contact an individual at the Company (for whom contact information shall be provided in such notice) to
obtain information on how to access such quarterly conference call. 
 (e) If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as
Unrestricted Subsidiaries, and such Unrestricted Subsidiaries hold more than 10.0% of the Total Assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 4.06(a) shall include a
reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section, of the financial
condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company. 

(f) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of
such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 Section 4.07. 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, a certificate from
the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision
of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Company and each Guarantor have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to
his or her knowledge, the Company and each Guarantor have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every condition and covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company and each Guarantor are taking or propose to take with
respect thereto). 

  
 58 

 (b) When any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, or
if the Trustee or the holder of any other evidence of Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed Default or Event of Default, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days
after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate specifying any event which would constitute an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. 

Section 4.08. Limitation on Restricted Payments. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment
unless, at the time of and after giving effect to the proposed Restricted Payment: 
 (1) no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing or will result as a consequence thereof; 
 (2) after giving effect to such Restricted
Payment on a pro forma basis, the Company would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to Section 4.09(a); and 

(3) after giving effect to such Restricted Payment on a pro forma basis, the aggregate amount expended or declared for
all Restricted Payments made on or after the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by any one or more of clauses (2) and (3) and clauses (5) through (7) of Section 4.08(b)) shall not exceed the sum (without
duplication) of (such sum, the “Available Restricted Payments Amount”): 
 (i) 50% of the Consolidated Net
Income (or, if Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit) of the Company accrued on a cumulative basis during the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after
the Issue Date and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of such proposed Restricted Payment; plus 

(ii) 100% of the aggregate net proceeds (including the Fair Market Value of property other than cash) received by the Company
subsequent to the Issue Date either (A) as a contribution to its common equity capital or (B) from the issuance and sale (other than to a Subsidiary) of its Qualified Capital Interests, including Qualified Capital Interests issued upon the
conversion of Debt or Redeemable Capital Interests of the Company issued after the Issue Date (other than, in each case, net proceeds received from an issuance or sale of Capital Interests, Debt or Redeemable Capital Interests issued or sold to a
Subsidiary of the Company or to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or Guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary unless
such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination); plus 

  
 59 

 (iii) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company designated as
such on and after the Issue Date is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the
time of such redesignation (other than to the extent the designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary was made pursuant to Section 4.08(b)(10) or constituted a Permitted Investment); plus 

(iv) the amount equal to the net reduction in Restricted Investments made by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
in any Person resulting from repurchases or redemptions of Restricted Investments in any Person by such Person, proceeds realized from the sale of such Restricted Investments to an unaffiliated purchaser, repayments of loans or advances or other
transfers of assets (including by way of dividend or distribution) by such Person to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than for reimbursement of tax payments), in each case to the extent such Restricted Investment was previously
included in the calculation of Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (3); plus 
 (v) 100% of any dividends or
interest payments received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary on and after the Issue Date from an Unrestricted Subsidiary, to the extent such dividends or interest payments were not otherwise included in the calculation of Consolidated Net
Income of the Company for such period. 
 (b) Notwithstanding whether Section 4.08(a) would prohibit the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries from making a Restricted Payment, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may make the following Restricted Payments: 

(1) the payment of any dividend or distribution on Capital Interests in the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or the
consummation of any irrevocable redemption of Subordinated Obligations, within 60 days after declaration thereof or the delivery of any irrevocable notice of redemption, as the case may be, if at the declaration date or date of the notice of
redemption, as the case may be, such payment or redemption was permitted by this Section 4.08; 
 (2) the purchase,
repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of any Capital Interests or Subordinated Obligations of the Company or any Guarantor by conversion into, or by or in exchange for, Qualified Capital Interests, or out of net cash

or Guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination) of other Qualified Capital Interests of the Company; provided that the amount of any such

  
 60 

 
net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will not be considered to be net proceeds of Qualified Capital Interests for purposes of clause (3)(ii) of
Section 4.08(a) and will not be considered to be net cash proceeds from a Qualified Equity Offering for purposes of Section 3.07; 

(3) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated
Obligations of the Company or any Guarantor made by conversion into, or in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue and sale of, Subordinated Obligations of the Company or any redemption, defeasance,
repurchase or acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Obligations of any Guarantor made by conversion into or in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue and sale of Subordinated Obligations of a
Guarantor, so long as such refinancing Subordinated Obligations are permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09 and constitute Refinancing Debt; 

(4) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition for value of Capital Interests in the Company held by
any current or former director, officer or employee of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (or their estates or beneficiaries under their estates) upon death, disability, retirement or termination of employment or alteration of employment
status or pursuant to the terms of any agreement or plan under which such Capital Interests were issued; provided that the aggregate cash consideration paid for such purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of such
Capital Interests does not exceed $15.0 million in any fiscal year, with unused amounts in any fiscal year being permitted to be carried over to the next succeeding fiscal year (but not to any subsequent fiscal year); provided,
further, however, that such amount in any fiscal year may be increased by an amount not to exceed: (i) the cash proceeds received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from the sale of Qualified Capital Interests of
the Company or any direct or indirect parent company of the Company (to the extent contributed to the Company) to existing or former directors, officers or employees of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries that occurs after the Issue Date;
plus (ii) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date; less (iii) the amount of any Restricted Payments made since the Issue Date with the

(6) cash payment, in lieu of issuance of fractional shares, in connection with the exercise of warrants, options or other
securities convertible into or exchangeable for the Capital Interests of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; 

  
 61 

 (7) the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of
Redeemable Capital Interests of the Company issued or Incurred in compliance with Section 4.09 to the extent such dividends are included in the definition of “Consolidated Fixed Charges”; 

(8) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of any Subordinated Obligations (a) at a Purchase Price
not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Obligation in the event of a Change of Control pursuant to provisions substantially similar to those described under Section 4.15 or (b) at a Purchase Price not greater
than 100% of the principal amount thereof pursuant to provisions substantially similar to those described under Section 4.16; provided that prior to or contemporaneously with such defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition,
the Company has made an Offer to Purchase with respect to the Notes and has repurchased all Notes validly tendered for payment and not withdrawn in connection therewith; 

(9) the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock of up to an aggregate amount of $65.0 million per annum;

 (10) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount, when taken together with all other Restricted Payments made
pursuant to this clause (10), not to exceed $100.0 million; 
 (11) any Restricted Payment so long as on the date of
such Restricted Payment, after giving pro forma effect thereto and to any related transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the Company’s most recently ended Four Quarter Period for which internal financial statements
are available, the Company’s Net Leverage Ratio would not have exceeded 3.25 to 1.00; and 
 (12) the distribution, by
dividend or otherwise, of shares of Capital Interests of, or Debt owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company by, Unrestricted Subsidiaries (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries, the primary assets of which are cash and/or cash
equivalents); 
 provided, however, that at the time of and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (4), (7),
(8), (9), (10), (11) and (12) of this Section 4.08(b), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof. 

Section 4.09. Limitation on Incurrence of Debt. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Debt (including Acquired
Debt); provided, however, that the Company and any of the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Debt (including Acquired Debt) if: 

  
 62 

 (1) immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Debt and the
receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, determined on a pro forma basis as if any such Debt (including any other Debt being Incurred
contemporaneously), and any other Debt Incurred since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period, had been Incurred and the proceeds thereof had been applied at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period, and any other Debt repaid (other than Debt
Incurred under the revolving portion of a Debt Facility) since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period had been repaid at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period, would be at least 2.00 to 1.00; and 

(2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time or as a consequence of the Incurrence of
such Debt. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.09(a), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Permitted
Debt. 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more
than one of the categories of Permitted Debt or is permitted to be Incurred under Section 4.09(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify or divide, and from time to time may reclassify or redivide, all or any portion of such item
of Debt in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09, including the definition of “Permitted Debt”; provided that all Debt outstanding on the Issue Date under the Senior Credit Facility shall be deemed Incurred under
clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt and not Section 4.09(a) or clause (4) of the definition of Permitted Debt and may not later be reclassified. If obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to a Debt
Facility and relate to other Debt, then such letters of credit shall be treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt and such other Debt shall not be included. In addition, except as provided in the preceding
sentence of this Section 4.09(c), Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Debt that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Debt shall not be included. 

(d) For purposes of determining compliance of any non-U.S. dollar-denominated Debt with this
Section 4.09, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency shall at all times be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Debt was Incurred, in the case of term
Debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Debt; provided, however, that if such Debt is Incurred to refinance other Debt denominated in the same or different currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable
U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the
principal amount of such Refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal amount of such Debt being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Debt that the Company may Incur pursuant to this
Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Debt Incurred to refinance other Debt, if Incurred in a different currency from the Debt being
refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Debt is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 

  
 63 

 (e) The accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the
amortization of debt discount and the payment of interest on Debt in the form of additional Debt and the payment of dividends on Capital Interests in the form of additional shares of Capital Interests with the same terms will not be deemed to be an
Incurrence of Debt for purposes of this Section 4.09. 
 (f) The following shall not be deemed a separate Incurrence of Debt:
(1) the obligation to pay a premium in respect of Debt arising in connection with the issuance of a notice of redemption or making a mandatory offer to purchase such Debt and (2) unrealized losses or charges in respect of Hedging
Obligations. 
 (g) The Company will not permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Debt or issue any Redeemable Capital
Interests (in each case, other than any Non-Recourse Debt), except as permitted by Section 4.13. If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Debt of such Subsidiary
shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date. 
 Section 4.10. Limitation on Liens. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, create, Incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Liens of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) on or with respect to any of its property or assets (including Capital Interests of Subsidiaries), or income or profits therefrom, now owned or hereafter acquired or any of its
interest therein or any income or profits therefrom, which Liens secure Debt, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Liens: 

(1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations, the Notes and related Note Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such
property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or 
 (2) in all other cases, the Notes and related
Note Guarantees are equally and ratably secured or are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens. 

Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall be automatically and unconditionally released and
discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the related Liens described in clauses (1) and (2) above. 
 Section 4.11. Future
Guarantors. 
 (a) On the Issue Date or thereafter, if any Restricted Subsidiary, including any newly-acquired or newly-created
Restricted Subsidiary, becomes a borrower under the Senior Credit Facility or Guarantees the Obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, then that Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor by execution of a supplemental indenture within 30
days of the date of such event, pursuant to which such Subsidiary will irrevocably and unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Notes
and all other Obligations under this Indenture on a senior basis. 

  
 64 

 (b) Each Note Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be
guaranteed by that Guarantor without rendering the guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, abuse of corporate assets or similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally or otherwise to reflect applicable laws, including laws relating to the liability of directors and managers. 
 (c) Each
Note Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06. In the event that any released Guarantor thereafter borrows money or guarantees Debt under the Senior Credit Facility, such former Guarantor shall again
provide a Note Guarantee. 
 Section 4.12. Limitation on Dividend and other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Company 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 or enter into any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of such Restricted Subsidiary to: 

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Interests owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary,
or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Debt or other obligations owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Interests in
receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Common Interests shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions in Capital Interests); 

(2) make loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or
advances made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Debt Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or 

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary. 

(b) Section 4.12(a) will not apply to the following encumbrances or restrictions (including those existing under or by reason of): 

(1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions pursuant to any Debt Facilities and related documentation and other agreements or
instruments in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date; 
 (2) any encumbrance or restriction under this Indenture, the
Notes and the Note Guarantees; 

  
 65 

 (3) any encumbrance or restriction existing at the time of the acquisition of
property, so long as the encumbrances or restrictions relate solely to the property so acquired (and are not or were not created in anticipation of or in connection with the acquisition thereof); 

(4) any encumbrance or restriction which exists with respect to a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or merges with or
into a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on or after the Issue Date, which is in existence at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or merges with or into a Restricted Subsidiary, but not created in connection with or in
anticipation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary or merging with or into a Restricted Subsidiary, and which is not applicable to any Person or the property or assets of any Person other than such Person or the property or assets of such
Person; 
 (5) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a permitted renewal, refunding, replacement,
refinancing or extension of Debt issued pursuant to an agreement containing any encumbrance or restriction referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) through (4), so long as such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement are
not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those contained in the agreements governing the Debt being renewed, refunded, replaced, refinanced or extended in the good faith judgment of
the Company; 
 (6) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease, sublease, contract, or license of
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or provisions in agreements that restrict the assignment of such agreement or any rights thereunder; 

(7) any encumbrance or restriction by reason of applicable law, rule, regulation, order, approval, license, permit or similar
restriction; 
 (8) any encumbrance or restriction in connection with the sale of assets or Capital Interests, including,
without limitation, any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; 

(9) restrictions on cash and other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or suppliers under contracts entered into the
ordinary course of business; 
 (10) encumbrances and restrictions under any instrument governing Debt or Capital Interests
of a Person acquired by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Debt or Capital Interests were Incurred or issued in connection with or in contemplation of such
acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Debt, such
Debt was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be Incurred; 

  
 66 

 (11) encumbrances or restrictions that are customary provisions in joint venture
agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements, sale leaseback agreements and other similar agreements; 
 (12)
encumbrances and restrictions arising in respect of purchase money obligations (including Capital Lease Obligations) for property acquired in the ordinary course of business permitted under this Indenture, in each case, to the extent such
restrictions and encumbrances limit the right of the debtor to dispose of assets subject to such Liens and apply to the property so acquired (and proceeds thereof); 

(13) Liens securing Debt or other obligations otherwise permitted to be Incurred under this Indenture, including pursuant to
the provisions of Section 4.10 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of assets subject to such Liens; 
 (14)
encumbrances or restrictions relating to any Non-Recourse Receivable Subsidiary Debt or any other contractual requirements of a Receivable Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary in connection with a
Qualified Receivables Transaction; provided that such restrictions apply only to such Receivable Subsidiary or the accounts receivable and related assets described in the definition of Qualified Receivables Transaction which are subject to
such Qualified Receivables Transaction; 
 (15) any other agreement governing Debt entered into after the Issue Date in
compliance with Section 4.09 that contains encumbrances and restrictions that are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary than those in effect on the Issue Date with respect to that
Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to any agreements in effect on the Issue Date or that do not materially affect the Company’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Notes; 

(16) restrictions on the sale, lease or transfer of property or assets arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business,
not relating to any Debt, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a
whole; and 
 (17) encumbrances or restrictions arising under deferred compensation arrangements or any “rabbi
trust” formed in connection with any such arrangement. 
 Section 4.13. Limitation on Creation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Company may designate any Subsidiary of the Company (including any newly-acquired or newly-formed Subsidiary) as an “Unrestricted
Subsidiary” under this Indenture (a “Designation”) only if: 
 (1) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing after giving effect to such Designation; 

  
 67 

 (2) the Subsidiary to be so designated and its Subsidiaries do not at the time of
Designation own any Capital Interests or Debt of, or own or hold any Lien with respect to, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 

(3) all the Debt of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries shall, at the date of designation, and will at all times thereafter,
consist of Non-Recourse Debt; 
 (4) such Subsidiary is a Person with respect to
which neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation to: 
 (A) subscribe
for additional Capital Interests of such Subsidiary; or 
 (B) maintain or preserve such Subsidiary’s financial
condition or to cause such Subsidiary to achieve any specified levels of operating results; 
 (5) on the date such
Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary is not a party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with terms substantially less favorable to the Company than
those that might have been obtained from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company; and 
 (6) either (a) the
Subsidiary to be so designated has total consolidated assets of $1,000 or less or (b) the Company could at the time of Designation make (i) a Restricted Payment in an amount equal to the greater of the Fair Market Value or book value of
such Subsidiary pursuant to Section 4.08 and such amount is thereafter treated as a Restricted Payment for the purpose of calculating the amount available for Restricted Payments thereunder or (ii) a Permitted Investment. 

(b) The Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Revocation”) only if, immediately
after giving effect to such Revocation: 
 (1) all the Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be Incurred pursuant to
Section 4.09; 
 (2) all the Liens on the property and assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be incurred pursuant
to Section 4.10; and 
 (3) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing after giving effect to such
Revocation. 
 (c) Any such Designation or Revocation shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of the
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company giving effect to such Designation or Revocation, as the case may be, and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Designation or Revocation complied with the foregoing conditions. 

  
 68 

 (d) A Revocation will be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt by a Restricted Subsidiary of any
outstanding Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiary. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the foregoing requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of
this Indenture, and any Debt of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred as of such date. 
 Section 4.14. Transactions with Affiliates.

 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell,
lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of related transactions, contract, agreement, loan, advance or guarantee
with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving with respect to each such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions aggregate
consideration in excess of $15.0 million, unless: 
 (1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not
materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction by the Company or such
Subsidiary with a Person that is not an Affiliate; and 
 (2) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related
Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $35.0 million, the Company delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company and by a majority of the members
of such Board of Directors having no personal stake in such transaction, if any, approving such Affiliate Transaction together with an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this
Section 4.14(a).

 69 

 (4) any agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendment
or modification thereto so long as such amendment or modification is not more disadvantageous, taken as a whole, in any material respect to the Holders than the agreement or arrangement in existence on the Issue Date; 

(5) any contribution of capital to the Company; 

(6) any transaction with a joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than an Unrestricted
Subsidiary) that constitutes an Affiliate solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in such joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity; provided that no other Affiliate of the
Company, other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, shall have any beneficial interest or otherwise participate in such joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity; 

(7) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, or lessors or lessees of

Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, as determined in good faith by the Company, than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of
the Company; 
 (8) transactions effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Transaction; 

(9) any employment, severance or consulting agreement or other compensation agreement, arrangement or plan, or any amendment
thereto, entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; 
 (10) sales
of Capital Interests (other than Redeemable Capital Interests) to Affiliates of the Company;

with the past practices of the Company or Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount not in excess of $10.0 million outstanding at any one time with respect to all loans or advances (without giving effect to the forgiveness of any such

 Section 4.15. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

(a) Within 30 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will make an Offer to Purchase all of the outstanding
Notes at a Purchase Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes tendered, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Purchase Date (the “Change of Control Payment”). 

(b) On the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: 

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in integral multiples of $1,000) properly tendered pursuant to the Offer
to Purchase; provided that if, following repurchase of a portion of a Note, the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase would be less than $2,000, then the portion of such Note so repurchased
shall be reduced so that the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase is $2,000; 

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Purchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes so
tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an
Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.15. 

(c) The Paying Agent will promptly mail (or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) to each Holder of
Notes so tendered the Purchase Price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate upon receipt of an Authentication Order and mail (or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) (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; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (d) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes validly tender
and do not withdraw such Notes in an Offer to Purchase the Notes upon a Change of Control and the Company, or any third party making an offer to purchase the Notes upon a Change of Control in lieu of the Company purchases all of the Notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice, given not more than 30 days following the Purchase Date, to redeem all Notes that remain
outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. 

  
 71 

 (e) If a Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment
Date, any accrued and unpaid interest to the Purchase Date will be paid on the Purchase Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date. 

(f) The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with any repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.15. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 

(g) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.15, any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.15 shall be made pursuant to
the provisions of Section 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06. 
 (h) The Company will not be required to make an Offer to Purchase upon a Change of
Control if (1) a third party makes such Offer to Purchase in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Indenture and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Offer to Purchase
(it being understood that such third party may make a Change of Control Offer that is conditioned on and prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control) or (2) the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to
Sections 3.03 and 3.07, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. 
 (i) An Offer to Purchase
may be made in advance of a Change of Control conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Offer to Purchase is made. 

Section 4.16. 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 the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at
least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Capital Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be, is in the form of cash or Eligible Cash Equivalents. 
 For purposes of clause (2) of this Section 4.16(a) and for no other purpose, each of
the following will be deemed to be cash: 

  
 72 

 (i) any liabilities, as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary
assignment and assumption or novation agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability with respect thereto; 

(ii) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee
that are repaid, converted or sold or otherwise disposed of by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Eligible Cash Equivalents within 180 days of their receipt to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and 

(iii) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any such
Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that
time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $125.0 million and (y) 5.0% of the Total Assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries at the time of the receipt of such Designated
Non-cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to
subsequent changes in value. 
 (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale, or, if with respect to
clauses (3), (4) and (5) of this Section 4.16(b), within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Available Cash from any Asset Sale the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary entered into a contractual commitment pursuant to a binding
agreement with the good faith expectation to apply any such Net Available Cash within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”), then, within the later of 365 days after the receipt of such Net Available Cash and 180
days from the date of the Acceptable Commitment, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Available Cash at its option to any combination of the following: 

(1) to permanently reduce: (A) Secured Debt under the Senior Credit Facility, (B) Secured Debt of the Company (other
than any Redeemable Capital Interests or Subordinated Obligations) or Secured Debt of a Guarantor (other than any Redeemable Capital Interests or Subordinated Obligations) or (C) Debt of a Non-Guarantor
Subsidiary, in each case, other than Debt owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; 
 (2) to repay or reduce other
Debt that ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Notes (“Pari Passu Debt”), other than Redeemable Capital Interests and Debt owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; provided that if the Company shall
so reduce any such Pari Passu Debt, the Company shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided either, at the Company’s option, under Section 3.07, through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are
at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.16 for an Offer to Purchase) to all Holders of Notes to purchase some or all of their Notes at a purchase
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be paid; 

  
 73 

 (3) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets or a line of business of,
or any Capital Interests of, another Person engaged in a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Interests, such Person is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 

(4) to make capital expenditures in or that are used or useful in a Permitted Business or to make expenditures for maintenance,
repair or improvement of existing properties and assets in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (5) to
acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or 

(6) any combination of the foregoing; 

provided that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) or
(6) of this Section 4.16(b), the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings under any Debt Facility or otherwise invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this
Indenture. 
 (c) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.16(b) will
constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $75.0 million, the Company will, within 30 days thereof, make an Offer to Purchase to all Holders of Notes (on a pro rata basis among the
Notes), and to all holders of other Pari Passu Debt containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt that may be
purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Offer to Purchase will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase and will be payable in cash, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the definition of Offer to Purchase or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Debt, as applicable, in the case of the Notes in integral multiples of $1,000; provided that if, following repurchase
of a portion of a Note, the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase would be less than $2,000, then the portion of such Note so repurchased shall be reduced so that the remaining principal amount of such
Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase is $2,000. The Company shall commence an Offer to Purchase with respect to Excess Proceeds by mailing (or otherwise delivering in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) the
notice required pursuant to the definition of Offer to Purchase to the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. 
 If any Excess Proceeds remain
after consummation of an Offer to Purchase, the Company may use those funds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and they will no longer constitute Excess Proceeds. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari
Passu Debt tendered in such Offer to Purchase exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company will select the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by
the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof will be purchased). Upon completion of each Offer to Purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 

  
 74 

 (d) If the Purchase Date is on or after an applicable Record Date and on or before the related
Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest to the Purchase Date will be paid on the Purchase Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date. 

(e) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
applicable securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this
Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 Section 4.17. Effectiveness of Covenants. 

(a) Following the first day (a “Suspension Date”): 

(1) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies; and 

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described
in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), 
 the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.08, 4.09, 4.11 (but only with respect to any Person that is required to become a Guarantor after such Covenant Suspension Event), 4.12, 4.14, 4.16 and 5.01(a)(3)
(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). 
 (b) In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not
subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to the Notes following any Suspension Date and, subsequently, either one or both Rating Agencies withdraws its rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes below the required Investment Grade
Rating, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with
performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default is in
existence; provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants
remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” 

  
 75 

 (c) On the Reinstatement Date, all Debt (including any Acquired Debt) Incurred during the
Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or, at the Company’s option, pursuant to one of the clauses set forth in the definition of “Permitted Debt” (in each case, to the
extent such Debt would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reinstatement Date and after giving effect to Debt Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reinstatement Date). To the extent such Debt would not be so
permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09, such Debt will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified or permitted under clause (4) of the definition of “Permitted Debt.” Calculations
made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.08 will be made as though such covenant had been in effect from the Issue Date and prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period.
Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.08(a). 

(d) During any period when the Suspended Covenants are suspended, the Board of Directors of the Company may not designate any of the
Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture. 
 (e) Promptly following the occurrence of any Covenant
Suspension Event or Reinstatement Date, the Company will provide an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee regarding such occurrence. The Trustee shall have no obligation to independently determine or verify if a Covenant Suspension Event or
Reinstatement Date has occurred or notify the Holders of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reinstatement Date. The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officers’ Certificate to any Holder of the Notes upon written request. 

Section 4.18. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless: 

(1) the consideration received in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the
property sold, as confirmed by an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee; 
 (2) prior to and after giving effect to the
Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the Company and such Restricted Subsidiary comply with Section 4.09 (if Section 4.09 is not then a Suspended Covenant); and 

(3) at or after such time the Company and such Restricted Subsidiary also comply with Section 4.16 (if Section 4.16
is not then a Suspended Covenant).

(3) immediately after giving effect to any such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including,

period, (A) the Successor Company could Incur $1.00 of additional Debt under Section 4.09(a) or (B) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the most recent Four

succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to satisfy the requirements of clauses (2) and (3) of Section 5.01(a) will not prohibit:

assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a Restricted Subsidiary that is a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company; or 

(2) a merger between the Company and an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating or forming the

(c) The Company will not permit any Guarantor in any transaction or series of related transactions, to consolidate or merge with or into or
wind up into any other Person (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving corporation), or directly or indirectly sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any Person
(other than to the Company or another Guarantor) unless: 
 (1) (A) if such entity remains a Guarantor, the resulting,
surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Guarantor”) is a Person (other than an individual) organized and existing under the laws of the United States, or any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia; 

(B) the Successor Guarantor, if other than such Guarantor, expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under this
Indenture, the Notes and its Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 

(C) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including,
without limitation, any Debt Incurred or anticipated to be Incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction or series of transactions), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 

(D) the Company delivers, or causes to be delivered, to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,

 78 

 (2) in the event the transaction results in the release of the Guarantor’s
Note Guarantee under clause (1) of Section 10.06(a), the transaction is made in compliance with Section 4.16 (it being understood that only such portion, if any, of the Net Available Cash as is required to be applied on the date of
such transaction in accordance with the terms of this Indenture needs to be applied in accordance therewith at such time). 
 (d) Subject to
the limitations set forth in this Indenture, the Successor Guarantor will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Guarantor under this Indenture and the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may merge with or into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to another
Guarantor or merge with a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, so long as the resulting entity remains or becomes a Guarantor. 
 Section 5.02.
Successor Entity Substituted. 
 Upon any consolidation, merger, winding-up, sale, assignment,
conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.01, the Company and a Guarantor, as the case may be, will be released from its obligations
under this Indenture and the Notes or its Note Guarantee, as the case may be, and the Successor Company and the Successor Guarantor, as the case may be, will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company

date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary that
is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant

 Section 6.02. Acceleration. 

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (9) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company)
occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of the Notes and any accrued interest on the Notes to be due and
payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration, if (1) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decrees and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of, premium on, of any, or interest, if any, on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived, as provided in this Indenture. 

(b) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes solely because an Event of Default specified in clause (7) of
Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (7) of
Section 6.01 shall be remedied or cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 20 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if the
rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Notes. 

(c) If an Event of Default specified in clause (9) of Section 6.01 occurs with respect to the Company, the principal of and any
accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 

(d) The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any Default (except Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest) if
the Trustee determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders to do so. 
 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, premium, if
any, and interest 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 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. 

  
 82 

 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents
obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any past Default under this Indenture and rescind its consequences if such a waiver and rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdictions, except a default: 
 (1) in any payment in
respect of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Notes (including any Note which is required to have been purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase which has been made by the Company); or 

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent
of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05. Control by Majority. 

Subject to Section 7.01(e), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, and the Trustee may take any action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee, or that is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder, or that would involve the Trustee in
personal liability. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

Subject to Section 6.07, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

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

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested in writing to the
Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holders have offered the Trustee security and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days
after the receipt of the request and the offer of security and indemnity; and 
 (5) the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request within such 60-day period. 

  
 83 

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

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest
on its Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such 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(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name
and as trustee of an express trust against the Company and any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent
lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel. 

Section 6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders
shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted. 

Section 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, no
right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other
right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

  
 84 

 Section 6.12. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee may file 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, including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and is entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims. Any custodian, receiver, trustee or similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 7.06. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 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 6.13. Priorities. 
 If the
Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order, on the date or dates fixed by the Trustee: 

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

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

(3) Third, to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct, including a Guarantor, if
applicable. 

  
 85 

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.13. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this Section 6.13, the Trustee shall cause notice of such record date and payment date to be given to the Company and to each Holder in the manner set forth in
Section 12.01. 
 Section 6.14. 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 such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to
Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

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

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(1) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need
perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

in good faith to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to 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.

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

provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers,
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. 

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless written notice of any event which is
in fact such a Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the existence of a Default or Event of Default, the Notes and this Indenture. 

(h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind
whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(j) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals or titles of

 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee or any Agent in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or such Agent. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the
Commission for permission to continue as trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.09 and 7.10. 

  
 88 

 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

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

Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of an Event of Default specified in clauses (1) or (2) of Section 6.01, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if it determines that
withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders. 
 Section 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity. 

(a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of
this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company and the Guarantors, jointly
and severally, 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. 
 (b) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and
severally, shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold each of the Trustee and any predecessor harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it arising out
of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or any Guarantor (including this
Section 7.06)) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or any Guarantor of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall
defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred
by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith (as determined in a final order by a court of competent jurisdiction). 

  
 89

the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

obligations of the Company and the Guarantors in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except funds held in trust to pay
principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 (e) When the Trustee
incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(9) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Section 7.07. Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice of such resignation to the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal

Bankruptcy Law;

months, fails to comply with Section 7.09, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(e) 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 deliver a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and such transfer shall be subject to the Lien provided
for in Section 7.06. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

(f) As used in this Section 7.07, the term “Trustee” shall also include each Agent; provided that the resignation of an
Agent becomes effective on the date specified in the notice of resignation. 
 Section 7.08. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

(a) Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and the Guarantors
shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to this Indenture, all outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees on the date the conditions set
forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

Default.

the Guarantors is bound; 
 (6) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion

to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Section 8.06. Repayment to the Company. 

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if
then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all
liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published
once, in The New York Times or 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

Section 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under
this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such
money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 

  
 95 

 
Section 8.03, as the case may be; provided that, if the Company makes any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall not be responsible for making any determination as to whether or not the consent of Holders

(a) Except as provided in Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may, with the consent of
the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), enter into an indenture
or indentures supplemental to this Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees or of modifying in any manner the rights of

Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly 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. 
 (c) It shall not be
necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, supplement or
waiver. 
 (d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall give to the Holders
a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure of the Company to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or
waiver. 

  
 97 

 (e) Without the consent of each affected Holder, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this
Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

(1) change the Stated Maturity of any Note or of any installment of interest on any Note, or reduce the amount payable in
respect of the principal thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable thereon, or reduce the amount that would be due and payable on acceleration of the maturity thereof, or change the place of payment where, or the coin or
currency in which, any Note or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof, or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to
redemption or reduce the redemption price therefor;

outstanding Note affected thereby; or 
 (6) release any Guarantees required to be maintained under this Indenture or modify
the Note Guarantees in any manner adverse to the Holders (in each case, other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture). 
 (f)
For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall not be responsible for making any determination as to whether or not the consent of Holders, or what percentage of such Holders, is required in connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver of any
provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees. 

  
 98 

 (g) A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note
Guarantees by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. 
 Section 9.03.
Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
 (a) 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. 
 (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix
a record date pursuant to Section 1.04 for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

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

(b) Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver. 
 Section 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.03, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent are satisfied with respect to the execution and delivery of any such
amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver, that such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company and each Guarantor party thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and that such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver complies with the provisions hereof. 

Section 9.06. Payment for Consent. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid

  
 99 

 
to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or amendment; provided that if
such consents, waivers or amendments are sought in connection with an exchange offer where participation in such exchange offer is limited to Holders who are “qualified institutional buyers,” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, or non-U.S. persons, within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, then such consideration need only be offered to all Holders to whom the exchange offer is made and to be paid
to all such Holders that consent, waive or agree to amend in such time frame.

GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01. Guarantee.

 (a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on
a senior unsecured basis, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (1) the
principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful,
and all other Obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of
payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise
(collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Failing payment by the Company when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay
the same immediately. Each of the Note Guarantees shall be a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
 (b) The 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 (other than any waiver or consent expressly releasing such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder), the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of
the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the
Notes and this Indenture, or pursuant to Section 10.06. 

  
 100 

 (c) Each of the Guarantors also agrees, jointly and severally, to pay any and all costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) Incurred by the Trustee in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 

(d) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

 (e) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of
the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the
purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the
Note Guarantees. 
 (f) Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed
by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s
assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must
otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or the Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the
event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned. 
 (g) In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 (h) Each payment to be made by a
Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 

  
 101 

 Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or a fraudulent transfer for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or abuse of
corporate assets or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, including laws relating to the liability of directors and managers, in each case to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such
Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this
Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee will be entitled
upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all
the Guarantors at the time of such payment, determined in accordance with GAAP.

behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer or person holding an equivalent title.

forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes. 

(c) If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note
Guarantees shall be valid nevertheless. 
 (d) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 (e) If required by
Section 4.11, the Company shall cause any newly-created or newly-acquired Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.11 and this Article 10, to the extent applicable. 

Section 10.04. Subrogation. 
 Each
Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full. 

  
 102 

 Section 10.05. Benefits Acknowledged.

and no further action by such Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee shall be required for the release of such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, upon:

the Capital Interests of such Guarantor after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor, in each case in a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance,
exchange or other disposition that is made in compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, including Section 4.16 (it being understood that only such portion of the Net Available Cash as is required to be applied on or before the date of
such release in accordance with the terms of this Indenture needs to be applied in accordance therewith at such time); provided that all Guarantees and other obligations of such Guarantor in respect of all other Debt of the Company and its

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note, where this Indenture or any Note provides for notice of any event
(including any notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.07) to any Holder of an interest in a Global Note (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to DTC or any other applicable Depositary for such Note

however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be
amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method)
and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall 

  
 106 

 
not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions
conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk
of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

(1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company
and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

transferor in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested
pursuant thereto. 
 (b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive Note
may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, together with: 
 (i) a certification from the transferor in the
form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto; and

 (ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books

increase, the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of

Global Note in the appropriate principal amount. 
 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. 

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in
accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2.2(d) of this Appendix A, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall
deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or another
Global Note and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in
the Global Note being transferred. 

  
 Appendix A-4 

 (ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one
Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to
the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred. 

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.3 of this
Appendix A), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part if the transfer is by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by
the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 (d) Restrictions on Transfer of
Global Notes; Voluntary Exchange of Interests in Transfer Restricted Global Notes for Interests in Unrestricted Global Notes.

form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested
pursuant thereto. In addition, in the case of a transfer of a beneficial interest in either a Regulation S Global Note or a Rule 144A Global Note for an interest in an IAI Global Note, the transferee must furnish a signed letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Trustee. 
 (ii) During the Distribution Compliance
Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or transferred through Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, the Restricted Notes Legend on such Regulation S Global

interest through a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note shall be made only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the Restricted Notes Legend and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the
beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for exchange or registration of transfers. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the
Distribution Compliance Period. Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall be transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of this Indenture.

  
 Appendix A-5

interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note upon certification in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for an
exchange from a Regulation S Global Note to an Unrestricted Global Note. 
 (iv) Beneficial interests in a Transfer
Restricted Note that is a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note if the Holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that its request for such exchange is in respect of a
transfer made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A) and/or upon delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as the Company or
the Trustee may reasonably request. 
 (v) If no Unrestricted Global Note is outstanding at the time of a transfer

Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

1. INTEREST. Matthews International Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note at 5.250% per annum until but excluding maturity. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including December 6, 2017;
provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be June 1, 2018. 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 the interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; 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 interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered holders of Notes at the close of business
on the May 15 or November 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date,
except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or, at the option
of the Company, payment of interest and premium, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their respective addresses set forth in the Note Register; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be
required with respect to principal, premium, if any, and interest 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 at least five Business Days prior to the
applicable payment date. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying
Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

  
 Exhibit A-5 

 4. INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of December 6, 2017

Notes due 2025. The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.01 and in compliance with the Indenture. The Notes and any Additional Notes issued under the Indenture shall be treated as a single class of
securities under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. Any term used in this Note that is
defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

5. REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE. The Notes are subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of an Offer to Purchase, as further
described in the Indenture. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

6. 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. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents, and Holders shall be required to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption or tendered for
repurchase in connection with an Offer to Purchase, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed or repurchased in part. 

7. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 

8. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented, and provisions in the

the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 
 10. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. 
 11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS NOTE WILL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 12. CUSIP AND ISIN NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation
promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

 This certificate is

Corporation (the “Company”). 
 Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as

Name:

 The undersigned represents and warrants to
you that: 
 1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are
acquiring the Notes, for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the
economic risk of our or its investment. 
 2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so
registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is
one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only
in accordance with the Restricted Notes Legend (as such term is defined in the indenture under which the Notes were issued) on the Notes and any 
  

  
 Exhibit B-1 

 
applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other
transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and
the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such
Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction
Termination Date of the Notes with respect to applicable transfers described in the Restricted Notes Legend to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
