or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) hereof have been complied with), the Company shall (i) cause to be filed with the Commission as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than 90 days after
the Closing Date (or if such 90th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), a Registration Statement under the Securities Act relating to the Exchange Securities and the Exchange Offer, (ii) use its best efforts to cause such
Registration Statement to become effective at the earliest possible time, but in no event later than 180 days after the Closing Date (or if such 180th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), (iii) in connection with the

 3 

 amendments to such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause such Registration Statement to become

Securities to be made under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, commence the Exchange Offer. The

Section 3(c) hereof. 
  
 (b) The Company shall cause the Exchange

provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders. The Company shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and
state securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange Securities shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated on the
earliest practicable date after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective, but in no event later than 210 days after the Closing Date (or if such 210th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). 
  
 (c) The Company shall indicate in a “Plan of Distribution” section
contained in the Prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement that any Broker-Dealer who holds Initial Securities that are Transfer Restricted Securities and that were acquired for its own account as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Transfer Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Company or one of its affiliates), may exchange such Initial Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer; however, such
Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the Exchange Securities
received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, which prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied by the delivery by such Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. Such “Plan of
Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect to such resales by Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such resales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not
name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Initial Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy after the date of this Agreement. 
  
 The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Initial Securities acquired by
Broker-Dealers for their own accounts as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the
Commission as announced from time to time, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days from the date 
  

 4 

 on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective and (ii) the date on which a Broker-Dealer is no
longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities. 
  
 The Company shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any time during such
180-day (or shorter as provided in the foregoing sentence) period in order to facilitate such resales. 
  
 SECTION 4. Shelf Registration. 
  
 (a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Company is not required to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to consummate the Exchange Offer
because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) hereof have been complied with) or (ii) with respect to any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (A) such Holder
is prohibited by applicable law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, or (B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder, or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Initial Securities acquired directly from the Company or one of its
affiliates, then, upon such Holder’s request, which shall be made prior to the 20th Business Day following the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall 
  
 (x) cause to be filed a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which
may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (in either event, the “Shelf Registration Statement”) on or prior to the earliest to occur of (1) the 30th day after the date on which the Company determines that it is not
required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and (2) the 30th day after the date on which the Company receives notice from a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities as contemplated by clause (ii) above, (such earliest date being the
“Shelf Filing Deadline”), which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for resales of all Transfer Restricted Securities the Holders of which shall have provided the information required pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof; and 

 
 (y) use their best efforts to cause such Shelf
Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or before the 120th day after the Shelf Filing Deadline (or if such 120th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). 
  
 The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders
entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a), and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of at
least two years following the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement (or shorter period that will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf
Registration Statement). 
  

 5 

 (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement.
No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, within 20 days
after receipt of a request therefor, such information as the Company may reasonably request for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein. Each Holder as to which any Shelf
Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading. 
  
 SECTION 5. Additional Interest. If (i) any of the
Registration Statements required by this Agreement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such filing in this Agreement, (ii) any of such Registration Statements has not been declared effective by the Commission on or
prior to the date specified for such effectiveness in this Agreement (the “Effectiveness Target Date”), (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated within 30 Business Days after the Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (iv) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded
immediately by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”), the
Company hereby agrees that the interest rate borne by the Transfer Restricted Securities shall be increased (the “Additional Interest”) by 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any Registration
Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such increase exceed 1.00% per annum, provided that the Company shall in no event be required to pay additional interest for more than
one Registration Default at any given time. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular Transfer Restricted Securities, the interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted Securities will be reduced to the
original interest rate borne by such Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, however, that, if after any such reduction in interest rate, a different Registration Default occurs, the interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted
Securities shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions. 
  
 All obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall
survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such security shall have been satisfied in full. 
  
 SECTION 6. Registration Procedures. 
  
 (a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall comply with all of the provisions of Section
6(c) hereof, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange to permit the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and shall comply with all
of the following provisions: 
  

 6 

 (i) If in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company there is a question as to
whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby agrees to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Company to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Transfer Restricted
Securities. The Company hereby agrees to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take commercially unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission policy. The Company hereby agrees,
however, to (A) participate in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) deliver to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that such an
Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursue a resolution by the Commission staff of such submission. 
  
 (ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation thereof, a written representation to the Company (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to
the effect that (A) it is not an affiliate of the Company, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Securities to be issued
in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of business. In addition, all such Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall otherwise cooperate in the Company’s preparations for the Exchange
Offer. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the Exchange Offer (1) could not under Commission policy as in
effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the
Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (which may include any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by
Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the Company or an affiliate thereof. 
  
 (b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in
accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate
form under the Securities Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof. 
  

 7 

 (c) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and any Prospectus required
by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation, any Registration Statement and the related Prospectus required to permit resales of Initial Securities by Broker-Dealers), the Company
shall (paragraphs (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (ix), (x) and (xi) shall apply only with respect to the Initial Purchasers, as such, prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer): 
  
 (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective and
provide all requisite financial statements for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable; upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain a
material misstatement or omission or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Company shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such Registration
Statement, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), use its best efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective and such Registration Statement and the related
Prospectus to become usable for their intended purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter; 
  
 (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may be
necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration
Statement have been sold; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable provisions of Rules
424 and 430A under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with
the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus; 
  
 (iii) in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, advise the underwriter(s), if any, and selling Holders promptly and, if
requested by such Persons, confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when
the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of
any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the 
  

 8 

 Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading. If at
any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from
qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or blue sky laws, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time; 
  
 (iv) furnish without charge to each of the Initial
Purchasers, each selling Holder named in any Registration Statement, and each of the underwriter(s), if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements
to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to the review and comment of such Holders and
underwriter(s) in connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least five Business Days, and the Company will not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or
Prospectus (including all such documents incorporated by reference) to which an Initial Purchaser of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement or the underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object in writing within five
Business Days after the receipt thereof (such objection to be deemed timely made upon confirmation of telecopy transmission within such period). The objection of an Initial Purchaser or underwriter, if any, shall be deemed to be reasonable if such
Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains a material misstatement or omission; 
  
 (v) promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or Prospectus,
provide, upon request, copies of such document to the Initial Purchasers, each selling Holder named in any Registration Statement, and to the underwriter(s), if any, make the Company’s representatives available for discussion of such document
and other customary due diligence matters, and include such information in such document prior to the filing thereof as such selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, reasonably may request; 
  
 (vi) make available at reasonable times for inspection by
the Initial Purchasers, the managing underwriter(s), if any, participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney or accountant retained by such Initial Purchasers or any of the underwriter(s), all financial and
other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney or accountant in
connection with such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness and to participate in meetings with investors to the extent requested by the managing underwriter(s),
if any; 
  
 (vii) if requested by any selling
Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, promptly incorporate in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or 
  

 9 

 post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such selling Holders and underwriter(s), if
any, may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation, information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities, information with respect to the principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities being sold to such underwriter(s), the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company is notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 
  
 (viii) cause the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be rated with the
appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered thereby or the underwriter(s), if any; 
  
 (ix) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without
charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits (including
exhibits incorporated therein by reference); 
  
 (x) deliver to each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may
request; the Company hereby consents to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders and each of the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; 
  
 (xi) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement), and make such representations and warranties, and take all such other actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, all to such extent as may be requested by any Initial Purchaser or by any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or
underwriter in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement; and whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration is an Underwritten
Registration, the Company shall: 
  
 (A) furnish
(or in the case of paragraphs (2) and (3), use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be furnished) to each Initial Purchaser, each selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, in such substance and scope as they may reasonably request
and as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings, upon the date of the Consummation of the Exchange Offer or, if applicable, the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement: 
  
 (1) a certificate, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer or
the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, signed by (y) the President or any Vice President and (z) a principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, confirming, as of the date thereof, the matters
set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5(e) of the Purchase Agreement and such other similar matters as such parties may reasonably request; 
  

 10 

 (2) an opinion, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer or the date of effectiveness of the
Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, of counsel for the Company, covering the matters set forth in Section 5(c) of the Purchase Agreement and such other matter as such parties may reasonably request, and in any event including a
statement to the effect that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company, representatives of the underwriter(s), if any,
and counsel to the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and have considered the matters required to be stated therein and the statements contained therein, although such
counsel has not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements; and that such counsel advises that, on the basis of the foregoing, no facts came to such counsel’s attention that caused such counsel to believe
that the applicable Registration Statement, at the time such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto became effective, and, in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as of the date of Consummation, contained an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement as of its date and, in
the case of the opinion dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, as of the date of Consummation, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not
misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, such counsel may state further that such counsel assumes no responsibility for, and has not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the financial statements, notes and schedules
and other financial data included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement or the related Prospectus; and 
  
 (3) a customary comfort letter, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer or the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as
the case may be, from the Company’s independent accountants, in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily requested to be covered in comfort letters by underwriters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, and
covering or affirming the matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Purchase Agreement, without exception; and 
  

 11 

 (B) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by such
parties to evidence compliance with Section 6(c)(xi)(A) hereof and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to this Section 6(c)(xi), if any. 
  
 (xii) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted
Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the state securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions as the selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, may request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits
or to taxation, other than as to matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 
  
 (xiii) shall (x) issue, upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities participating in an Exchange Offer, Exchange Securities
having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities surrendered to the Company by such Holder in exchange therefor; such Exchange Securities to be registered in the name of such Holder; in return, the
Initial Securities held by such Holder shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation; or (y) issue, upon request of any Holder of Initial Securities that desires to dispose of Initial Securities in accordance with a Shelf Registration
Statement, securities that do not bear a restrictive legend having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities being sold by such Holder; such securities to be registered in the name of the
purchaser(s) of such Initial Securities; 
  
 (xiv) cooperate with the selling Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and
enable such Transfer Restricted Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may request at least two Business Days prior to any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities made by such
Holders or underwriter(s); 
  
 (xv) use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or
sellers thereof or the underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to the proviso contained in Section 6(c)(xii) hereof; 
  

 12 

 (xvi) if any fact or event contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof shall exist or
have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; 
  
 (xvii) provide a CUSIP number for all Exchange Securities
and securities issued with no restrictive legend not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement covering such securities and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for such securities which are in a form
eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company and take all other action necessary to ensure that all such securities are eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company; 
  
 (xviii) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the NASD and in the performance of any
due diligence investigation by any underwriter (including any “qualified independent underwriter” that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD); 
  
 (xix) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 (which need not be audited) for
the twelve-month period (A) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Transfer Restricted Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts Underwritten Offering or (B) if not sold to underwriters in such an
offering, beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement; 
  
 (xx) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act not later than the effective date of the first Registration
Statement required by this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust
Indenture Act; and to execute and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable
such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; 
  
 (xxi) cause all Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed if requested by the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities or the managing underwriter(s), if any; and 
  

 13 

 (xxii) provide promptly to each Holder upon request each document filed with the
Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 and Section 15 of the Exchange Act. 
  
 Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof, such Holder will
forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Sections 6(c)(iii)(C) or
6(c)(xvi) hereof, or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus. If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer
Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as
applicable, shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof to and including the date when each selling Holder covered by such Registration
Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof or shall have received the Advice; provided, however, that no such extension shall be taken into account in
determining whether Additional Interest is due pursuant to Section 5 hereof or the amount of such Additional Interest, it being agreed that the Company’s option to suspend use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this paragraph shall be
treated as a Registration Default for purposes of Section 5 hereof. 
  
 SECTION 7. Registration Expenses. 
  
 (a) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all
registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made by any Initial Purchaser or Holder with the NASD (and, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” and its counsel that may be required
by the rules and regulations of the NASD)); (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state securities or blue sky laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Securities to be
issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and, subject to Section 7(b) hereof, the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities;
(v) all application and filing fees in connection with listing the Exchange Securities on a securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements thereof; and (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public
accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance). 
  
 The Company will, in any event, bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees
performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company. 
  

 14 

 (b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered in the Exchange Offer and/or resold
pursuant to the “Plan of Distribution” contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one
counsel, who shall be Sullivan & Cromwell LLP or such other counsel as may be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared.

  
 SECTION 8. Indemnification.
 
  
 (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless (i) each Holder and (ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any Holder (any of the Persons referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter
referred to as a “controlling person”) and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of any Holder or any controlling person (any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may
hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnified Holder”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses (including, without limitation, and as incurred,
reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing, settling, compromising, paying or defending any claim or action, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including
the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Holder), caused by, arising out of or based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any amendment
or supplement thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses are caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the Company by any of the Holders
expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. 
  
 In case any action or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be brought or asserted against any of the
Indemnified Holders with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Company, such Indemnified Holder (or the Indemnified Holder controlled by such controlling person) shall promptly notify the Company in writing; provided, however,
that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement except to the extent it is prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified
Holder and such Indemnified Holder seeks or intends to seek indemnity from the Company, the Company will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written
notice delivered to the Indemnified Holder 
  

 15 

 promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Holder, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Holder; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Holder and the Company and counsel to the Indemnified Holder shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may
arise between the positions of the Company and the Indemnified Holder in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those
available to the Company, the Indemnified Holder shall have the right to select separate counsel (and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel) to assume such legal defenses and
to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. The Company shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or
proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for such
Indemnified Holders, which firm shall be designated by the Indemnified Holders. The Company shall be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected with the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be
withheld unreasonably, and the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Holder from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the written consent of the
Company. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Holder, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, litigation or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Holder is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each
Indemnified Holder from all liability arising out of such action, claim, litigation or proceeding. 
  
 (b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors or
officers, and any Person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of each such Person,
to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each of the Indemnified Holders, but only with respect to claims and actions based on information relating to such Holder furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any
Registration Statement. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Company or its directors or officers or any such controlling person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities,
such Holder shall have the rights and duties given the Company, and the Company, its directors and officers and such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to each Holder by the preceding paragraph. 
  
 (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to
an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or (b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate

  

 16 

 to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from the
Initial Placement (which in the case of the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total gross proceeds to the Company from the Initial Placement), or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the relative fault of the Company, on
the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of
the Company on the one hand and of the Holders on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Holders, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount
paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in the second paragraph of Section 8(a) hereof, any legal or other
fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. 
  
 The Company and each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(c)
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, none of the Holders (and its related
Indemnified Holders) shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount received by such Holder with respect to the Initial Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled
to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(c) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Initial Securities
held by each of the Holders hereunder and not joint. 
  
 SECTION 9. Rule 144A. The Company hereby agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, to make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted
Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales
of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. 
  
 SECTION 10. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Transfer
Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
  

 17 

 SECTION 11. Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) that will
administer such offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment banker(s) and managing
underwriter(s) must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. 
  
 SECTION 12. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a)
Remedies. The Company hereby agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
  
 (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as described in the Offering Memorandum, as of the Closing Date the Company will not be bound by any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person. The
rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. 
  
 (c) Adjustments Affecting the Initial Securities. The Company will not
take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to the Initial Securities that would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Holders to Consummate any Exchange Offer. 
  
 (d) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not
be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company has (i) in the case of Section 5 hereof and this Section 12(d)(i), obtained the written consent of Holders
of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case of all other provisions hereof, obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding any
Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being tendered
pursuant to the Exchange Offer and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal
amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered or registered. With respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial
Purchaser with respect to which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver, consent or departure is to be effective.

Securities offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Securities in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (collectively, the
“Regulation S Global Securities” and, together with the Rule 144A Global Securities, the “Global Securities”)). The Global Securities will be deposited upon issuance with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, and shall
bear the legend set forth on Exhibit C. The aggregate principal amount of any Global Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter
provided. 
  
 Securities issued in certificated form in the
limited circumstances permitted in this Indenture, may be issued in the form of certificated Securities in registered form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “Physical Securities”). 
  
 Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. 
  
 Two Officers, or an Officer and an Assistant Secretary, shall sign, or one
Officer shall sign and one Officer or an Assistant Secretary (each of whom shall, in each case, have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) shall attest to, the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. The
Company’s seal may also be reproduced on the Securities. 
  

 - 21 - 

 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer
holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless. 
  
 A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
  
 The Trustee shall authenticate (i) Series A Securities for original issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount of $170,000,000 and at any time additional Series A Securities for additional issue
permitted by the terms of this Indenture and (ii) Series B Securities from time to time only in exchange for a like principal amount of Series A Securities. The Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated,
the series of Securities and the date on which the Securities are to be authenticated. Upon receipt of a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities in substitution for
Securities originally issued to reflect any name change of the Company. 
  
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do
so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company and Affiliates of the Company. 
  
 The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 
  
 Section 2.03
Registrar and Paying Agent. 
  
 The Company shall maintain
an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where (a) Securities may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), (b) Securities may be presented or surrendered for
payment (“Paying Agent”) and (c) notices and demands in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company, upon notice to the
Trustee, may have one or more Co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional Paying Agent. 
  
 The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent
not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall incorporate the provisions of the TIA and implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee, in advance, of the name and address of any
such Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. 
  

 - 22 - 

 The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of demands
and notices in connection with the Securities, until such time as the Trustee has resigned or the Company has appointed a successor. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders, and the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. The Paying Agent or Registrar may resign upon 30 days notice to the Company. 
  
 Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Assets in Trust. 
  
 The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of
Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company in making any such payment. If either the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for
any assets disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account for any assets
distributed. Upon distribution to the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Company to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets. 
  
 Section 2.05 Securityholder Lists. 
  
 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable
the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee before each Record Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list as
of such date and in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee. 
  

	Section	2.06 Transfer and Exchange. 

  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 2.15 and 2.17, when Securities are presented to the Registrar or a Co-Registrar with a request to register the
transfer of such Securities or to exchange such Securities for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations of the same series, the Registrar or Co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested
if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company
and the Registrar or Co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the
Registrar’s or Co-Registrar’s written request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum 

  

 - 23 - 

 
sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or other governmental
charge payable upon exchanges or transfers pursuant to Section 2.02, Section 2.10, Section 3.06, Section 4.16, Section 4.17 or Section 9.05 in which event the Company shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes or governmental charges). The
Registrar or Co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Security (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing and (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article Three, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
  
 Any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security,
agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Depository (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be required to
be reflected in a book entry. 
  

	Section	2.07 Replacement Securities. 

  
 If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully
taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee’s requirements are met. Such Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of both the Company and
the Trustee, to protect the Company, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Security, including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel. 
  
 Every replacement
Security is an additional obligation of the Company. 
  
 Section 2.08
Outstanding Securities. 
  
 Securities outstanding at any
time are all the Securities that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 2.09, a Security does not cease
to be outstanding because the Company or any of its Affiliates holds the Security. 
  
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated Security surrendered for replacement) it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced
Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated Security ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.07. 
  
 If on a Redemption Date or the Final Maturity Date the Paying Agent holds U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay all of the
principal and interest due on the Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
  

 - 24 - 

 Section 2.09 Treasury Securities. 
  
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or
consent, Securities owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be disregarded, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be disregarded. 
  
 The Trustee may require an Officers’ Certificate listing Securities owned by the Company or its Affiliates. 
  
 Section 2.10 Temporary Securities. 
  
 Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon receipt of a
written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. The Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of temporary Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the temporary Securities are to be authenticated.
Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate upon receipt of a written order of the Company pursuant to Section 2.02 definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. 
  
 Section 2.11 Cancellation. 
  
 The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Securities surrendered to them for 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 and, at the written direction of the Company, shall dispose of all
Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation, provided that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy Securities. Subject to Section 2.07, the Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has
paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same
are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11. 
  

	Section	2.12 Defaulted Interest. 

  
 If the Company defaults in a payment of principal or interest on the Securities, it shall pay, to the extent such payments are lawful, interest on overdue
principal and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate shown on the Security. 
  

 - 25 - 

 Section 2.13 CUSIP Number. 
  
 The Company in issuing the Securities will use one or more “CUSIP” numbers and the Trustee shall use the CUSIP
numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders. The Trustee and the Company shall not be liable for any defect or inaccuracy in the CUSIP numbers that appear on any Security or in any redemption notice. The Trustee, in its
discretion, may include in any notice a statement to the effect that the CUSIP numbers on the Securities have been assigned by an independent service and are included in such notice solely for the convenience of the holders and that neither the
Trustee nor the Company make any representation as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers printed in the notice or on the Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities.
The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
  
 In the event that the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate any Securities issued under this Indenture subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Section 2.02, the Company shall
use its best efforts to obtain the same “CUSIP” number for such Securities as is printed on the Securities outstanding at such time; provided, however, that if any series of Securities issued under this Indenture subsequent
to the Issue Date is determined, pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel of the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to be a different class of security than the Securities outstanding at such time for federal income tax purposes, the
Company may obtain a “CUSIP” number for such Securities that is different than the “CUSIP” number printed on the Securities then outstanding. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Securities issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters as
one class and no series of Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. 
  
 Section 2.14 Deposit of Moneys. 
  
 Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each Interest Payment Date and the Final Maturity Date, the Company shall have deposited with the Paying Agent
in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Final Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such
Interest Payment Date or Final Maturity Date, as the case may be. 
  
 Section 2.15 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities. 
  
 (a) The Global Securities initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of such Depository, (ii) be delivered to the
Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Exhibit C. 
  

 - 26 - 

 Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Participants”) shall have no rights under this
Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security. 
  
 Through and including the 40th day after the Issue Date (such period through and including such 40th day, the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Securities may be held only through the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, S.A.
(“Clearstream”) (as indirect Participants), unless transferred to a person that takes delivery through a Rule 144A Global Note in accordance with the requirements specified in paragraph (g) of this Section 2.15 of this Indenture.

  
 (b) Transfers of Global Securities shall be limited to
transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Securities may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Securities only in accordance with the rules
and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.17 if (i) the Depository (a) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for any Global Security and a successor Depository is not appointed by the
Company within 90 days of such notice or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act; (ii) the Company notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Physical Securities; or (iii) a Default
or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
  
 (c) In
connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.15, the Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Securities are to be issued)
reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery,
one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount. 
  
 (d)
In connection with the transfer of Global Securities as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.15, the Global Securities shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall upon written instructions from the Company authenticate and make available for delivery, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Securities, an equal
aggregate principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations. 
  

 - 27 - 

 (e) Any Physical Security constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an interest in a
Global Security pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.15 shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.17, bear the Private Placement Legend. 
  
 (f) The Holder of any Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Participants and Persons that may hold interests
through Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities. 
  
 (g) Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial ownership in the Regulation S Global Securities may be exchanged for beneficial interests
in the Rule 144A Global Securities only if: (i) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of the Securities pursuant to Rule 144A; and (ii) the transferor delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (substantially in the form of Exhibit G
hereto) to the effect that the Securities are being transferred to a Person (A) who the transferor reasonably believes to be a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A, (B) purchasing for its own account or the account of a
qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and (C) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions. 
  
 (h) Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Note may be transferred to a
Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global Securities only if the transferor delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto) to the effect that (i) such transfer is
being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available) and (ii) that, if such transfer occurs prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the interest transferred will be held immediately thereafter through
Euroclear or Clearstream. 
  

	Section	2.16 Obligation of Trustee. 

  
 The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this
Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depository Participants or beneficial owners of interest in any Global Security) other than to require delivery
of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the
express requirements hereof. 
  
 Section 2.17 Registration of Transfers and
Exchanges. 
  
 (a) Transfer and Exchange of Physical
Securities. When Physical Securities are presented to the Registrar or Co-Registrar with a request: 
  
 (i) to register the transfer of the Physical Securities; or 
  

 - 28 - 

 (ii) to exchange such Physical Securities for an equal number of Physical Securities of other authorized
denominations, the Registrar or Co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if the requirements under this Indenture as set forth in this Section 2.17 for such transactions are met; provided, however,
that the Physical Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange: 
  
 (A) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar or Co-Registrar, duly
executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and

Securities shall be accompanied, in the sole discretion of the Company, by the following additional information and documents, as applicable: 
  
 (1) if such Physical Security is being delivered to the Registrar or Co-Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such
Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect (substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto); or 
  
 (2) if such Physical Security is being transferred to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in accordance with Rule 144A, a certification to
that effect (substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto); or 
  
 (3) if such Physical Security is being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor, delivery of a certification to that effect (substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto) and a Transferee Certificate for
Institutional Accredited Investors substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto; or

Act, a certification to that effect (substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto) 

  

 - 29 - 

 
and an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the rules and regulations under the
Securities Act applicable to such exemption. 
  
 (b) Restrictions
on Transfer of a Physical Security for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security. A Physical Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by
the Registrar or Co-Registrar of a Physical Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar or Co-Registrar, together with:

Physical Security is being transferred (I) to a Qualified Institutional Buyer, (II) to an Institutional Accredited Investor or (III) in an offshore transaction in reliance on Regulation S; and 
  
 (ii) written instructions directing the Registrar or Co-Registrar to make,
or to direct the Depository to make, an endorsement on the applicable Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate amount of the Securities represented by the Global Security, 
  
 then the Registrar or Co-Registrar shall cancel such Physical Security and cause, or direct the Depository to cause, in accordance with the
standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Registrar or Co-Registrar, the principal amount of Securities represented by the applicable Global Security to be increased accordingly. If no Global Security representing
Securities held by Qualified Institutional Buyers, Institutional Accredited Investors or Persons acquiring Securities in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S, as the case may be, is then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the
Trustee shall, upon written instructions from the Company in accordance with Section 2.02, authenticate such a Global Security in the appropriate principal amount. 
  
 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests
therein shall be effected through the Depository in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depository therefor. Upon receipt by the Registrar or Co-Registrar of written
instructions, or such other instruction as is customary for the Depository, from the Depository or its nominee, requesting the registration of transfer of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Security to a Regulation S Global Security, together with
the applicable Global Securities (or, if the applicable type of Global Security required to represent the interest as requested to be transferred is not then outstanding, only the Global Security representing the interest being transferred), the
Registrar or Co-Registrar shall cancel such Global Securities (or Global Security) and the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall, upon written instructions from the Company in accordance with Section 2.02, authenticate new Global Securities of

Securities, giving effect to such transfer. If the applicable type of Global Security required to represent the interest as requested to be transferred is not outstanding at the time of such request, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall,
upon written instructions from the Company in accordance with Section 2.02, authenticate a new Global Security of such type in principal amount equal to the principal amount of the interest requested to be transferred. 
  
 (d) Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security for a Physical
Security. 
  
 (i) In the limited circumstances permitted by
Section 2.15(b), any Person having a beneficial interest in a Global Security may exchange such beneficial interest for a Physical Security. In those circumstances, upon receipt by the Registrar or Co-Registrar of written instructions, or such other
form of instructions as is customary for the Depository, from the Depository or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in a Global Security and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written order or such other form of

 (D) if such beneficial interest is being transferred in reliance on Regulation S, delivery of a certification to that effect
(substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto), a Transferee Certificate for Regulation S Transfers substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto and an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such transfer is
in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act; or 
  
 (E) if such beneficial interest is being transferred in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act, delivery of a certification to that effect (substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto) and an Opinion of
Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or 
  

 - 31 - 

 (F) if such beneficial interest is being transferred in reliance on another exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, a certification to that effect (substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto) and an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such transfer is in
compliance with the rules and regulations under the Securities Act applicable to such exemption, then the Registrar or Co-Registrar will cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the
Registrar or Co-Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Security to be reduced and, following such reduction, the Company will execute and, upon receipt of an authentication order in the form of an Officers’
Certificate in accordance with Section 2.02, the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery to the transferee a Physical Security. 
  
 (ii) Securities issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) shall be registered in such names and
in such authorized denominations as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Registrar or Co-Registrar in writing. The Registrar or Co-Registrar shall make available for
delivery such Physical Securities to the Persons in whose names such Physical Securities are so registered. 
  
 (e) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, a Global Security may not be
transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee
of such successor Depository. 
  
 (f) Private Placement Legend.
Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar or Co-Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of
Securities bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar or Co-Registrar shall deliver only Securities that bear the Private Placement Legend unless, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to deliver Securities without the Private
Placement Legend if, (i) there is delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain
compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act or (ii) such Security has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. 
  
 (g) General. By its acceptance of any Security bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such a Security
acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Security only as provided in this Indenture. 
  

 - 32 - 

 The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received
pursuant to Section 2.15 or this Section 2.17. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the
Registrar. 
  
 Section 2.18 Designation. 
  
 The Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is hereby irrevocably
designated as “senior indebtedness” or such other term denoting seniority for the purposes of any future Indebtedness of the Company which the Company makes subordinate to any senior indebtedness or such other term denoting seniority,
including the Company’s 10% Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock or any debenture issued in respect thereof. 
  
 Section 2.19 Additional Interest Under Registration Rights Agreements. 
  
 Under certain circumstances, the Company shall be obligated to pay Additional Interest to the Holders, all as set forth in Section 5 of the Registration

 In the event that less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed at any

accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or nor such Securities are presented for payment. 
  
 Section 3.06 Securities Redeemed in Part.

provide the basis for any other Restricted Payment); (5) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the payment of
dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued on the Issue Date and on any additional shares of such stock issued in lieu of cash dividends thereon with (x) the net proceeds of a sale for cash (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company)

 (c) The Company shall not incur any Indebtedness which by its
terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) is subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such
Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate in right of payment to the Securities, pursuant to subordination provisions that are substantively identical to the subordination provisions of such Indebtedness (or such agreement) that are most favorable to
the holders of any other Indebtedness of the Company. 
  
 (d) For
purposes of determining compliance with the limitations in this Section 4.04, in the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this Section 4.04, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence in any manner that complies with this covenant, and later reclassify any such item of Indebtedness from time to
time, so long as such item could have been so classified on the date of its incurrence or at any time thereafter in a manner that complies with this Section 4.04.

charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings properly instituted and diligently conducted and for which appropriate provision has been made or where the failure to pay or
discharge the same would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Securities or this Indenture.

from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such properties, or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company or any Subsidiary concerned, or of an
officer (or other agent employed by the Company or of any of the Subsidiaries) of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries having managerial responsibility for any such property, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company or any

manner in which it fixes its fiscal year end. 
  
 (b) (i) If any
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) if any Holder seeks to exercise any remedy hereunder with respect to a claimed Default under this Indenture or the Securities, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at its
address set forth in Section 10.02 hereof, by registered or certified mail or by facsimile transmission followed by hard copy by registered or certified mail an Officers’ Certificate specifying such event, notice or other action and the status

restriction contained in any such Indebtedness are no less favorable to the Company in any material respect as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in their reasonable and good faith judgment than the provisions relating to such
encumbrance or restriction contained in agreements referred to in such clause (2), (3) or (5). 
  
 Section 4.15 Limitation on Liens.

 (i) that the Change
of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.16 and that all Securities tendered and not withdrawn will be accepted for payment; 
  
 (ii) the purchase price (including the amount of accrued interest) and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days
from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 
  
 (iii) that any Security not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 
  
 (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Security accepted for payment pursuant to the Change
of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; 
  
 (v) that Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Security, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the
reverse of the Security completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date; 
  
 (vi) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying
Agent receives, not later than the second Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities the Holder delivered
for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased; 
  

 - 45 - 

 (vii) that Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part will be issued new Securities in a
principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered; and

unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered. Any Securities not so accepted shall be promptly mailed by the Company to the Holder thereof. For purposes of this Section 4.16, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent. 
  
 Any amounts remaining after the purchase of Securities pursuant to a Change
of Control Offer shall be returned by the Trustee to the Company. 
  
 The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 
  
 The provisions of this Section 4.16 that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable regardless
of whether any other provision of this Indenture is applicable. 
  
 The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this
Section 4.16 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

 Section 4.17 Limitation on Asset Sales. 
  
 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
consummate an Asset Sale unless (i) the Company or the applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or equity interests sold or otherwise
disposed of (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors), (ii) at least 75% of the consideration received for the assets sold by the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale shall be in the form
of cash or Cash Equivalents and is received at the time of such disposition; provided, however, that (A) notes received by the Company as consideration for an Asset Sale that are converted into cash or Cash Equivalents immediately
following the consummation of such Asset Sale, (B) the assumption by the purchaser of assets pursuant to an Asset Sale of liabilities of the Company (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinate to the Securities) or (C) shall, in each
case of the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B), be deemed to be cash or Cash Equivalents at the time of such Asset Sale in an amount equal to, in the case of clause (A), the amount of cash or Cash Equivalents realized on such conversion and,
in the case of clause (B), the amount of the liabilities so assumed, as reflected on the balance sheet of the Company, and (iii) following the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary, within 365 days of
receipt thereof either (A) to apply the Net Cash Proceeds related to such Asset Sale to prepay any Indebtedness that by its terms is not subordinate to the Securities, (B) to make a Permitted Investment or an investment in properties and assets that
replace the properties and assets that were the subject of such Asset Sale or in properties and assets that will be used in a Related Business (collectively, “Replacement Assets”) or (C) a combination of prepayment and investment permitted
by the foregoing clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B). On the 365th day after an Asset Sale, or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or of such Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset
Sale as set forth in clauses (iii)(A), (iii) (B) and (iii) (C) of the next preceding sentence (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been applied on or before the applicable
Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (iii)(A), (iii)(B) and (iii)(C) of the next preceding sentence (or, in the case of a Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date occurring prior to such 365th day, the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds
that the Board of Directors has determined not to so apply) (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Company or such Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) on a date (the “Net
Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata basis (and on a pro rata basis with the holders of Indebtedness of the Company that is
not by its terms subordinate to the Securities), that amount of Securities equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if any, thereon, if any, to the date of purchase; provided, however, that if at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset
Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed 

  

 - 47 - 

 
of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute
an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.17. The Company may defer the Net Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to or in excess of
$5.0 million resulting from one or more Asset Sales (at which time, the entire unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $5.0 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to this paragraph). 
  
 In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the
property and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Section 5.01, the successor corporation shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries
not so transferred for purposes of this Section 4.17, and shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.17 with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the fair market value of such properties and assets of the
Company or its Subsidiaries deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 4.17. 
  
 Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding paragraphs, the Company and its Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale without complying
with such paragraphs to the extent (i) at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes Replacement Assets and (ii) such Asset Sale is for fair market value; provided that any consideration not constituting Replacement Assets
received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any Asset Sale permitted to be consummated under this paragraph shall constitute Net Cash Proceeds subject to the provisions of the two preceding paragraphs. 
  
 Notice of each Net Proceeds Offer pursuant to this Section 4.17 shall be
mailed or caused to be mailed, by first class mail, by the Company within 25 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date to all Holders at their last registered addresses, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all
instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Securities pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer and shall state the following terms: 
  
 (a) that the Net Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.17 and that all Securities tendered will be accepted for payment;
provided, however, that if the principal amount of Securities tendered in the Net Proceeds Offer exceeds the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis; 
  
 (b) the Net Proceeds Offer price (including the amount of accrued interest,
if any) and the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date; 
  
 (c) that any
Security not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 
  

 - 48 - 

 (d) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Security accepted for payment
pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date; 
  
 (e) that Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer will be required to surrender the Security, with the form
entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Security completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date; 
  
 (f) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying
Agent receives, not later than the second Business Day prior to the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security the Holder delivered for purchase and
a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased; and 
  
 (g) that Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part will be issued new Securities in a principal amount at maturity equal to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered. 
  
 On or before the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, the Company shall (i)
accept for payment Securities or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the purchase price, plus accrued interest, if any, of all Securities to be
purchased and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Securities so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the Securities or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to the Holders of
Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price, plus accrued interest, if any, thereon and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such Holders new Securities equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion
of the Securities surrendered. Any Securities not so accepted shall be promptly mailed by the Company to the Holder thereof. For purposes of this Section 4.17, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent. 
  
 Any Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for at least 20 Business Days (or
such longer period as may be required by law) and until the close of business on the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date. 
  
 The Company shall comply with all tender offer rules under state and federal securities laws, including, but not limited to, Section 14(e) under the
Exchange Act and Rule 14e-l thereunder, to the extent applicable to such offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the foregoing provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict. 
  

 - 49 - 

 Upon completion of a Net Proceeds Offer, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds will be reset at zero.
Accordingly, to the extent that the aggregate amount of Securities tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Cash Proceeds, any remaining Net Cash Proceeds held by the Trustee shall be returned by the Trustee to the Company and
the Company may use any remaining Net Cash Proceeds for general corporate purposes. 
  
 Section 4.18 Limitation on Preferred Stock of Subsidiaries. 
  
 The Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Stock (other than to the Company or to a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company) or permit any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly
Owned Subsidiary of the Company) to own any Preferred Stock of any Subsidiary of the Company. 
  
 Section 4.19 Limitation on Guarantees. 
  
 The Company will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Guarantee of any other Indebtedness of the Company unless (i) in the case
of Guarantees of Indebtedness that is expressly subordinate or junior in right of payment of the Securities, the Securities have a Guarantee that is senior to such Guarantee and (ii) in all other cases, the Securities are equally and ratably
Guaranteed. 
  
 Section 4.20 Payments for Consent. 
  
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Securities for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities
unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Securities that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 
  
 Section 6.01 Events of Default. 
  
 An “Event of Default” occurs if: 
  
 (a) the Company fails to pay interest on, or Additional Interest with
respect to, any Securities when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days; 
  
 (b) the Company fails to pay the principal or premium on any Securities, when such principal or premium, if any, becomes due and payable, at maturity,
upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Securities tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer); 
  
 (c) the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company defaults in the observance or performance of any other covenant or
agreement contained in this Indenture, which default continues for a period of 30 days after the Company receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of
the outstanding principal amount of the Securities (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 4.16 or Section 5.01, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement);

  
 (d) the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company fails to pay
at final maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such
Indebtedness, in any case if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been accelerated, aggregates
$5.0 million or more at any time; 
  
 (e) one or more judgments in
an aggregate amount in excess of $5.0 million shall have been rendered against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final
and non-appealable; 
  
 (f) the Company or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries (i) admits in writing to a creditor its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (ii) commences a voluntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law with respect to itself, (iii) 

  

 - 52 - 

 
consents to the entry of a judgment, decree or order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, (iv) consents to
the appointment of a Custodian of it or for substantially all of its property, (v) consents to or acquiesces in the institution of a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding against it, (vi) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors
or (vii) takes any partnership or corporate action, as the case may be, to authorize or effect any of the foregoing; or 
  
 (g) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a judgment, decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an
involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, which shall (i) approve as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition in respect of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, (ii)
appoint a Custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or for substantially all of any of their property or (iii) order the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs; and such judgment, decree or order shall remain unstayed and in
effect for a period of 60 consecutive days. 
  

	Section	6.02 Acceleration 

  
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) above) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of
at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Securities may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all the Securities to be due and payable by notice in writing to the
Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration”, and the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) above occurs and is
continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium and Additional Interest, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other
act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
  
 At any time
after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences (i) if the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (iii) to the extent the
payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue, installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (iv) if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable
compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances and (v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall have
received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
  

 - 53 - 

	Section	6.03 Other Remedies. 

  
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of
principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities, this Indenture or the Guarantees. 
  
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any
other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
  

	Section	6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

  
 Subject to Section 2.09, Section 6.07 and Section 9.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Securities by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of principal of or interest or Additional Interest on any Security as specified in clauses (a) and
(b) of Section 6.01. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents. When a Default or Event of Default is
waived, it is cured and ceases and the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be those expressly set forth in this Indenture (other than those duties and obligations that by their terms arise upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default). 
  

	Section	6.05 Control by Majority. 

  
 The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. Subject to Section 7.01, however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, that the Trustee
determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder, or that may, in the sole judgment of the Trustee, give rise to or subject the Trustee to personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed
proper by the Trustee. 
  
 In the event the Trustee takes any
action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against any loss or expense caused by taking such action or following such direction. 

 

 - 54 - 

	Section	6.06 Limitation on Suits. 

  
 A Securityholder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless: 
  
 (a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default; 
  
 (b) the Holder or Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
  
 (c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole judgment against any loss,
liability or expense; 
  
 (d) the Trustee does not comply with the
request within 60 days after receipt of the written request and the offer described in clause (3) above and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and 
  
 (e) during such 60-day period the Holder or Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities do not give the Trustee a written
direction which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request. 
  
 A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Securityholder. 
  

	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 of and interest on a Security, on or after
the respective due dates expressed in such Security, 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 written consent of the Holder. 
  

	Section	6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

  
 If an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the Securities for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest and fees remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue
principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by the Securities and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable
costs and expenses of collection, including the actual, documented compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
  

 - 55 - 

	Section	6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

  
 The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company, the Subsidiaries, their creditors or
their property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

 

	Section	6.10 Priorities. 

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

  
 Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid
on the Securities for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and 
  
 Third: to the Company. 
  
 The Trustee, upon prior notice to the Company, may fix a record date and
payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
  

	Section	6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 

  
 Each party to this Indenture agrees and each Holder of any Security by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed that, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not 

  

 - 56 - 

 
apply to a suit instituted by the Company, any suit instituted by the Trustee, any suit instituted by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or any suit
instituted by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities.

	Section	7.01 Duties of Trustee. 

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

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee: 
  
 (i) The Trustee need perform only those duties as are expressly and

expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions and such other documents delivered to it pursuant to Section 10.04 hereof furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates
or opinions which are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee by any provision hereof, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not
confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own

incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or to take or omit to take any action under this Indenture or take any action at the request or direction of Holders if it shall reasonably believe that repayment of
such funds is not assured to it or it does not receive an indemnity that is, in its sole discretion, not adequate against such risk, liability, loss, fee or expense which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

  
 (e) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates
to the Trustee is subject to this Section 7.01.

the payment of the principal or the interest with respect to the Securities, the Trustee shall not be required to take notice, and shall not be deemed to have notice, of any default unless the Trustee shall be notified specifically and expressly in

Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. 
  
 (h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other

 - 59 - 

	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 Securities, it shall not be
accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or any document issued in connection with the sale of Securities or any statement in the
Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 
  

	Section	7.05 Notice of Default. 

  
 If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Trustee receives actual notice of such event, the Trustee shall mail to each
Securityholder, as their names and addresses appear on the Securityholder list described in Section 2.05, notice of the uncured Default or Event of Default within 60 days after the Trustee receives such notice. Except in the case of a Default or an
Event of Default in payment of principal of, or interest on, any Security, including the failure to make payment on (i) the Change of Control Payment Date pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or (ii) the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date pursuant to

Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers, of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest
of the Security-holders. 
  
 Section 7.06
Reports by Trustee to Holders. 
  
 Within 60 days after
each May 15, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events described in TIA Section 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with
TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Sections 313(b), 313(c) and 313(d). 
  
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed. 
  
 The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee if the Securities become listed
on any securities exchange or of any delisting thereof. 
  

	Section	7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 

  
 The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services hereunder (which shall be agreed to in writing from time to time
by the Company and the Trustee). The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law 

  

 - 60 - 

 
on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and
advances (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as shall be determined to have been caused by the
Trustee’s own negligence or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, accountants, experts and counsel and any taxes or other expenses incurred by a trust created
pursuant to Section 8.01. 
  
 The Company shall indemnify the
Trustee and each predecessor trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by the Trustee
without negligence or willful misconduct on its part arising out of or in connection with the administration of this trust and its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable expenses and attorneys’ fees of defending itself against
any claim (whether asserted by a Holder, the Company or any other Person) of liability arising hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee of which a Responsible Officer has received written
notice for which it may seek indemnity. However, the failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder unless and to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the Company of
material rights and defenses. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense (and may employ its own counsel) at the Company’s expense. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss
or liability incurred by the Trustee determined to have been caused by the Trustee’s own negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a senior claim prior to the Securities against all money or
property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee. 
  
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 occurs, the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the compensation
for the services shall be preferred over the status of the Holders in a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law and are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. The Company’s obligations under this Section 7.07
and any claim arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee, the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Article Eight and any rejection or termination under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  

	Section	7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 

  
 The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may
remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor trustee with the Company’s consent. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 
  
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 
  

 - 61 - 

 (b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 
  
 (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or 
  
 (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

  
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall notify in writing each Holder of such event and shall appoint a successor Trustee within 60 days after the effective date of such resignation, removal or vacancy. Within one year after the
successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 
  
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.
Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided in Section 7.07, 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. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each
Securityholder. 
  
 If a successor Trustee does not take office
within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may petition, at the expense of the Company any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the
Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
  

	Section	7.09 Successor Trustee by Mergers Etc. 

  
 If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation,
the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.

combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding.

participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met. The provisions of TIA Section 310 shall apply to the Company, as obligors of the Securities.

  
 Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of
Claims Against Company

Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated. The provisions of TIA Section 311 shall apply to the
Company, as obligor of the Securities.

reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01(c), nor shall any event referred to in Section

defeasance had not occurred or (ii) in the event the Company elects paragraph (c) hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the
effect that Holders of the Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and the defeasance contemplated hereby and will be subject to Federal income tax in the same amounts and in the

Paying Agent, in accordance with this Indenture and the terms of the irrevocable trust agreement established pursuant to Section 8.01, to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities. The U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government

 Subject to Section 7.07 and Section
8.01, the Trustee shall promptly pay to the Company, upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate, any excess money, determined in accordance with Section 8.01, held by it at any time. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to

unclaimed and that after a date specified therein, which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company,
Securityholders entitled to money must look solely to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such money
shall thereupon cease. 
  
 Section 8.07

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is
unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture by reason of any legal proceeding pending before or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, then and only then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had been made pursuant to this Indenture until such time as the
Trustee is permitted to apply all such U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any
Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or
Paying Agent.

waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
  
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure

 Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder
and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may
revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of his Security by notice to the Trustee or the Company received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Securities have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.

designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. 
  
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder, unless it makes a change
described in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.02, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Security, on or after the respective due
dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder. 
  

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 
  
 If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Company may require the Holder of the Security to
deliver it to the Trustee. The Company may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall
issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. 
  
 Section 9.06 Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc. 
  
 The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine; provided that

in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 LESLIE’S POOLMART, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the
rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year (the “Interest Payment Date”), commencing August 1, 2005. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from January 25, 2005. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Securities and on
overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful. 
  
 2. Method of Payment. 
  
 The Company will pay principal (and premium, if any) on the Securities at the Trustee’s corporate office in New York, New York. At the Company’s
option, when due, interest may be paid at the Trustee’s corporate trust office or by check mailed to the registered addresses of Holders. If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company will pay all principal,
interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on that Holder’s Securities in accordance with those instructions. The Company shall pay interest on the Securities to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close of
business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the Securities are cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such Record Date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to
collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts (“U.S. Legal Tender”). 
  
 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. 
  
 Initially, The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (the
“Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Co-Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may, subject to certain exceptions, act as
Registrar or Co-Registrar.

 4. Indenture. 
  
 The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of January 25, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the
Company and the Trustee. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is
qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Securities are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The Securities are general
obligations of the Company.

 On or after February 1, 2009
the Securities will be redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if redeemed during the twelve-month
period commencing on February 1 of the year set forth below, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption:

	  	100.000	%

  
 6.
Optional Redemption with Proceeds of Public Equity Offerings. 
  
 On or prior to February 1, 2008, the Company may, at its option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings (as defined below) to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities at a redemption
price equal to 107.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of redemption; provided that after giving effect to any such redemption at least 65% of aggregate principal amount
of the Securities remains outstanding. In order to effect the foregoing redemption with the proceeds of any Public Equity Offering, the Company shall make such redemption not more than 60 days after the consummation of any such Public Equity
Offering. 
  
 As used in the preceding paragraph, “Public
Equity Offering” means an underwritten public offering of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Commission in accordance with the Securities Act, or any successor statute. 
  
 7. Optional Redemption with Make-Whole Premium.

  
 Prior to February 1, 2009, the Company may, at its option,
redeem the Securities, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100.00% of the principal amount thereof plus the Make-Whole Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, the
date of redemption date. 
  

 A-5 

 As used in the preceding paragraph, “Make-Whole Premium” means, with respect to any Securities
on any Redemption Date, the excess of (a) the present value on such Redemption Date of (1) the redemption price of the Securities on February 1, 2009 plus (2) all scheduled interest payments on the Securities through February 1, 2009 (excluding
accrued but unpaid interest), computed using a discount rate equal to the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points over (b) the principal amount of the Securities. 
  
 8. Notice of Redemption. 
  
 Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address. Securities in denominations of $1,000 may be redeemed only in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the
principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. 
  
 If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Security in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption. 
  
 9. Change of Control Offer. 
  
 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will be required to
offer to purchase all of the outstanding Securities at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase. 
  
 10. Limitation on Disposition of Assets. 

 
 The Company is, subject to certain conditions, obligated to make an offer
to purchase Securities at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase with certain net cash proceeds of certain sales or other dispositions of assets in accordance with the Indenture.

  
 11. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

  
 The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents 

  

 A-6 

 
and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not
register the transfer of or exchange any Securities or portions thereof selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
  
 12. Persons Deemed Owners. 
  
 The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 
  
 13. Unclaimed Funds. 
  
 If funds for the payment of principal or interest remain unclaimed for one
year, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will repay the funds to the Company at its request. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such funds shall cease. 
  
 14. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

  
 The Company may be discharged from its obligations under the
Indenture and the Securities except for certain provisions thereof, and may be discharged from obligations to comply with certain covenants contained in the Indenture and the Securities, in each case upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified
in the Indenture. 
  
 15. Amendment;
Supplement; Waiver. 
  
 Subject to certain exceptions, the
Indenture and the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance
with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture
and the Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with
the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Security. 
  
 16. Restrictive Covenants. 
  
 The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and the Subsidiaries to make restricted payments, to
incur indebtedness, to create liens, to issue preferred or other capital stock of Subsidiaries to third parties, to sell assets, to permit restrictions on dividends and other payments by Subsidiaries to the Company, to consolidate, merge or sell all
or substantially all of its assets, to engage in transactions with affiliates or to engage in certain businesses. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must annually report to the Trustee on
compliance with such limitations. 
  

 A-7 

 17. Defaults and Remedies. 
  
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Securities then outstanding may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Securities may not enforce the
Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it has received indemnity satisfactory to it. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations
therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Securities notice of certain continuing
Defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 
  
 18. Trustee Dealing with Company. 
  
 The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the
Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee. 
  
 19. No Recourse Against Others. 
  
 No stockholder, director, officer, employee or incorporator, as such, of the Company shall have any liability for any obligation of the Company under the
Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of a Security by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of
the consideration for the issuance of the Securities. 
  
 20. Authentication. 
  
 This Security shall not
be valid until the Trustee or authenticating agent signs the certificate of authentication on this Security. 
  
 21. Abbreviations and Defined Terms. 
  
 Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Security or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by
the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 
  

 A-8 

 22. CUSIP Numbers. 
  
 Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has
caused a CUSIP number to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed hereon.

Date”), commencing August 1, 2005. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from January 25, 2005. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 The Company shall pay interest
on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Securities and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful. 
  
 2. Method of Payment. 
  
 The Company will pay principal (and premium, if any) on the Securities at
the Trustee’s corporate office in New York, New York. At the Company’s option, when due, interest may be paid at the Trustee’s corporate trust office or by check mailed to the registered addresses of Holders. If a Holder has given
wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company will pay all principal, interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on that Holder’s Securities in accordance with those instructions. The Company shall pay interest on the
Securities to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the Securities are cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after
such Record Date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts (“U.S. Legal Tender”).

 The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of January 25, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the
Company and the Trustee. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is
qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Securities are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The Securities are general
obligations of the Company.

 On or after February 1, 2009

redeem the Securities, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100.00% of the principal amount thereof plus the Make-Whole Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, the
date of redemption date.

accrued but unpaid interest), computed using a discount rate equal to the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points over (b) the principal amount of the Securities. 
  
 8. Notice of Redemption. 
  
 Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address. Securities in denominations of $1,000 may be redeemed only in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the
principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. 
  
 If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Security in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption. 
  
 9. Change of Control Offer. 
  
 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will be required to
offer to purchase all of the outstanding Securities at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase. 
  
 10. Limitation on Disposition of Assets. 

 
 The Company is, subject to certain conditions, obligated to make an offer
to purchase Securities at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase with certain net cash proceeds of certain sales or other dispositions of assets in accordance with the Indenture.

  
 11. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

  
 The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents 

  

 B-5 

 
and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not
register the transfer of or exchange any Securities or portions thereof selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
  
 12. Persons Deemed Owners. 
  
 The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 
  
 13. Unclaimed Funds. 
  
 If funds for the payment of principal or interest remain unclaimed for one
year, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will repay the funds to the Company at its request. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such funds shall cease. 
  
 14. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

  
 The Company may be discharged from their obligations under
the Indenture and the Securities except for certain provisions thereof, and may be discharged from their obligations to comply with certain covenants contained in the Indenture and the Securities, in each case upon satisfaction of certain conditions
specified in the Indenture. 
  
 15. Amendment;
Supplement; Waiver. 
  
 Subject to certain exceptions, the
Indenture and the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance
with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture
and the Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with
the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Security. 
  
 16. Restrictive Covenants. 
  
 The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and the Subsidiaries to make restricted payments, to
incur indebtedness, to create liens, to issue preferred or other capital stock of Subsidiaries to third parties, to sell assets, to permit restrictions on dividends and other payments by Subsidiaries to the Company, to consolidate, merge or sell all
or substantially all of its assets, to engage in transactions with affiliates or to engage in certain businesses. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must annually report to the Trustee on
compliance with such limitations. 
  

 B-6 

 17. Defaults and Remedies. 
  
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Securities then outstanding may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Securities may not enforce the
Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it has received indemnity satisfactory to it. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations
therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Securities notice of certain continuing
Defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 
  
 18. Trustee Dealings with Company. 
  
 The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the
Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee. 
  
 19. No Recourse Against Others. 
  
 No stockholder, director, officer, employee or incorporator, as such, of the Company shall have any liability for any obligation of the Company under the
Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of a Security by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of
the consideration for the issuance of the Securities. 
  
 20. Authentication. 
  
 This Security shall not
be valid until the Trustee or authenticating agent signs the certificate of authentication on this Security. 
  
 21. Abbreviations and Defined Terms. 
  
 Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Security or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by
the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
