		2.5	Securing of ISBN. The9 shall make all best efforts to
secure an approval number (“ISBN”) from the National Press and Publication Administration of the People’s

to any reimbursement of any amount received from The9 by Voodoo.

 

     

     

    

 

		2.6	Copyright Protection and Anti-Piracy: The9 shall take
enforcement actions under the name of Voodoo when needed to safeguard the rights against the infringement of the Games and/or new

The9 for the Games and as a minimum guarantee payment, The9 shall pay Voodoo fifteen million US dollars (15,000,000 USD), divided
as follows:

 

		-	Upfront Payment: within seven (7)
days from the Effective Date, The9 shall pay Voodoo three million US Dollars (3,000,000 USD);

		-	First Game Payment: within seven
(7) days from the Delivery Date of the first Game, The9 shall pay Voodoo [REDACTED] US dollars ([REDACTED] USD).
Such payment will be due regardless of whether the ISBN application is approved or not. 

		-	Second Game Payment: within seven
(7) days from the Delivery Date of the second Game, The9 shall pay Voodoo [REDACTED] US dollars ([REDACTED] USD).
Such payment will be due regardless of whether the ISBN application is approved or not.

(7) days from the Delivery Date of the third Game, The9 shall pay Voodoo [REDACTED] US dollars ([REDACTED] USD).
Such payment will be due regardless of whether the ISBN application is approved or not.

 

		5.2	Revenue Share: With respect to each Game, once the Net Revenue of the Game equals
[REDACTED] US dollars ([REDACTED] USD) (the “Minimum Net Revenue”), Voodoo shall receive [REDACTED]
of the Net Revenue generated by The9 above the Minimum Net Revenue, as follows

 

Net Revenue = Gross Revenue
- Channel Costs - User Acquisition Costs - Server Costs

 

where

 

- “Gross Revenue”
is any revenue actually generated by The9 with respect to purchases/downloads of the Game by end customers;

 

- “Channel Costs”
are the material and technical costs incurred in preparing and utilizing distribution iOS and Android channels for the Games;

 

- “User Acquisition Costs”
are the costs incurred for acquiring new customers for the Games;

 

- “Server Costs”
are hosting fees relating to the Games.

 

		5.3	The Revenue Share Payment shall be made to Voodoo at the end of every month, within fifteen (15)
days from the end of each calendar month, after receipt of a valid invoice and based on the amount payable with respect to a written
monthly report communicated by The9 to Voodoo which shall include generated revenue and cost (“Report”).

 

		5.4	The9 shall comply with all tax and foreign exchange control requirements and formalities, if applicable,
that are necessary in order to ensure a timely remittance of the payments to Voodoo.

 

		5.5	In case there is any value added tax (“VAT”) and associated taxes and local levies
in relation to the payments, such VAT and associated taxes and local levies shall be borne by The9.

 

		5.6	The9 will not deduct any withholding tax (“WHT”) from the invoice amounts under 5.1
and 5.2. In case as subsequently requested by the Tax Bureau in Hong Kong, there is any WHT in relation to the payments, such WHT
shall be borne by Voodoo (excluding any potential penalties or late payment interest which shall be borne by The9). The9 shall
provide all the supporting documents to Voodoo to secure a corresponding tax credit in France under the double tax treaties between
France and Hong Kong or France and China. The supporting documents include the tax residence certificate of The9 for each service
period, the withholding record of WHT, the tax payment record, etc. If The9 fails to provide the required supporting documents
to Voodoo for tax credit purposes, The9 shall repay the WHT to Voodoo.

 

		5.7	In case of a repayment of WHT by The9 to Voodoo, any taxes and costs incurred (i.e. WHT, VAT, associated
taxes, local levies, etc.) in connection with such repayment shall be borne by The9, with the net amount received by Voodoo after
application of such taxes and costs, if any, corresponding to the net amount of the WHT borne by Voodoo.

 

		5.8	Should the Net Revenue for all the Games exceed the Minimum Net Revenue within one year, The9 and
Voodoo will work together on extending this Agreement to further games.

will have the option to cancel the publication of the third Game and Voodoo shall reimburse [REDACTED] US dollars ([REDACTED]
USD) of the Upfront Payment representing the upfront for the third Game, unless the third Game has already been delivered by Voodoo
to The9, in which case the [REDACTED] US dollars of the Upfront Payment will not be refunded and the Third Game Payment
will be due if not already paid. For the avoidance of doubt, the Payments relating to the first two Games already paid to Voodoo
by The9 are not affected by this Section 5.9.

 

		5.10	For the refund of the upfront payment, the amount to be refunded by Voodoo shall correspond to
the actual cash amount received from The9 as defined in 5.6 and the WHT credit to the extent it may successfully be claimed in
France. The9 shall not collect WHT from Voodoo if such WHT credit is not successfully claimed in France. The9 shall not collect
VAT and associated taxes and local levies from Voodoo for the refund of the upfront payment.

 

		6.	PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

 

Except
for the rights expressly granted herein, Voodoo will be and remain the sole owner of the Games (including Game Updates) and all
intellectual property rights thereto and therein, and any derivatives, improvements, or enhancements to such Games, as well as
content and materials developed and created in relation to such Games, and Marks and all intellectual property rights pertaining
thereto. 

		7.	TERM AND TERMINATION 

 

		7.1	Publishing License Term: With respect to each Game, the Publishing License term (“Term”)
shall commence upon the upload and distribution of the Game on any Platform, for a period of maximum three (3) years.

the following conditions:

receipt of a written notice requiring it to do so;

days from the last written notice expliciting the Parties’ intent to do so;

 

		7.3.3	Should The9 fail to meet the appropriate standards and best practices of the industry and/or poorly
perform its obligations under this Agreement notably with regards to user acquisition activity or manpower requirements, and after
a warning by Voodoo that the Game is not being properly managed and giving an opportunity to The9 to rectify its management of
the Games publishing and marketing, then Voodoo shall have the right to terminate the Publishing License within thirty (30) days’
notice. In this situation, no Minimum Guarantee Payment paid to Voodoo will be recoupable by The9, and all Revenue Share payments
due to Voodoo at the time of termination shall be paid in full. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of a Publishing License
for a particular Game does not necessarily lead to the termination of the Agreement should other Games be managed by The9.

from the applicable Platforms; (ii) all Parties’ rights and obligations with respect to the relevant Games (including any

including the documentation and source code for such Games; that the Game Materials are not subject to any lien, encumbrance, claim,
litigation or arbitration, whether pending, suspected or threatened; and that the Games provided by Voodoo do not and will not

100% of the principal amount thereof, or

 

(b)          
the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would have been
due if the Notes matured on the Par Call Date, not including accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption
Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the
applicable Treasury Yield plus 20 basis points.

will be redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option, for cash, at a Redemption
Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date
(subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest
Payment Date).

 

In addition, the Company may at any time
purchase Notes by tender, in the open market or by private agreement, subject to applicable law.

COVENANTS

 

The following covenants, in addition to
those set forth in Article Four of the Base Indenture, shall apply to the Notes.

 

Section 4.01         
Limitations on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any debt secured by a Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any Property, or any
shares of stock or evidences of indebtedness issued by any of its Subsidiaries and owned by the Company or by any other of the
Company’s Subsidiaries, owned on the Issue Date, without making effective provision to secure all of the Notes, equally and
ratably with any and all other debt secured thereby, so long as any of such other debt shall be so secured. 

 

    10

     

    

 

Section 4.02         
Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company shall not, and shall not
permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, enter into any arrangement with any Person providing for the leasing by the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company of any Property that has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or such Subsidiary of
the Company to such Person, with the intention of taking back a lease of such Property (a “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”)
unless either:

 

(a)          
 within 12 months after the receipt of the proceeds of the sale or transfer, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company
applies an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of the sale or transfer or the fair value (as determined in good faith
by the Company’s Board of Directors) of such Property at the time of such sale or transfer to the prepayment or retirement
(other than any mandatory prepayment or retirement) of Senior Funded Debt; or

 

(b)          
the Company or such Subsidiary of the Company would be entitled, at the effective date of the sale or transfer, to incur
debt secured by a Lien on such Property in an amount at least equal to the Attributable Debt in respect of the Sale and Leaseback
Transaction, without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof.

 

The foregoing restriction in the paragraph
above shall not apply to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction (i) for a term of not more than three years including renewals; (ii)
between the Company and a Subsidiary of the Company or between Subsidiaries of the Company, provided that the lessor is
the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company; or (iii) entered into within 270 days after the later of the acquisition
or completion of construction of the subject Property.

 

Section 4.03         
Future Guarantees. 

 

(a)          
Upon their initial issuance, the Notes will not be guaranteed by any of the Company’s Subsidiaries. If on or after
the date of this Third Supplemental Indenture, a Subsidiary of the Company incurs or guarantees obligations under the Revolving
Credit Facility or incurs or guarantees obligations under any other Credit Facility Debt or Capital Markets Debt of the Company
or any future Guarantor, the Company shall cause such Subsidiary, within 30 days to (a) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee (subject to Section 10.04 of the Base Indenture
and Section 4.03(b) hereof) all of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture, including the prompt payment in
full when due of the principal of, premium on, if any, interest and, without duplication, defaulted interest, if any, on the Notes
and all other amounts payable by the Company thereunder and hereunder, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on any overdue principal and any overdue interest on the Notes and all other obligations
of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes on the terms set forth in this Section 4.03 and
in Article Ten of the Base Indenture, and (b) deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that (i) such supplemental
indenture and guarantee of the Notes has been duly executed and authorized and (ii) such supplemental indenture and guarantee of
the Notes constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Subsidiary of the Company, except insofar as enforcement
thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general
principles of equity. Any such future Guarantee of the Notes shall be equal or senior in right of payment with the guarantee or
other obligation giving rise to the obligation to guarantee the Notes.

 

    11

     

    

 

(b)          
In addition to Section 10.04 of the Base Indenture, the following provisions will apply with respect to the release
of Guarantees of the Notes:

 

Any future Guarantee shall be
automatically and unconditionally released upon the release of the guarantee or the obligation that resulted in Section
4.03(a) hereof becoming applicable (other than by reason of payment under such guarantee) without any action required on
the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes upon such Guarantor ceasing to guarantee or be an obligor with respect to
the Revolving Credit Facility or a guarantor or obligor under any other Credit Facility Debt or Capital Markets Debt of the
Company or any future Guarantors. In addition, any future Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released from
its obligations under its Guarantee upon: (i) upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or
merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of a majority of the total voting power of the capital stock
or other interests of such future Guarantor (other than to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company); or (ii) upon the
sale or disposition of all or substantially all the property of such Guarantor (other than to any Affiliate of the Company
other than another Guarantor); provided, however, that, in each case, after giving effect to such transaction,
such Guarantor is no longer liable for any guarantee or other obligations in respect of any Credit Facility Debt or Capital
Markets Debt of the Company or any other Guarantor; provided further that this sentence shall supersede and replace
the first sentence of Section 10.04 of the Base Indenture solely for purposes of the Notes.

 

Section 4.04          
Change of Control. 

 

(a)          
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes
pursuant to Section 3.01 of this Third Supplemental Indenture, the Company will make an offer (a “Change of Control
Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000) of each Holder’s Notes at
a repurchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes
repurchased, to but not including the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Regular Record
Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Change of Control Payment”).

 

(b)          
Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of
Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall, by first class mail, send a notice
to Holders of the Notes (or, in the case of Global Notes, electronically through the procedures of the DTC), with a copy to the
Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event, stating:

 

(i)             
that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.04 and that all Notes tendered will
be accepted for payment;

 

(ii)            
the repurchase price and the repurchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the
date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

 

(iii)           
that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

 

(iv)           
that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant
to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date;

 

(v)            
that Holders electing to have any Notes repurchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender
the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase” on the reverse of the Note completed,
to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice or transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant
to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change
of Control Payment Date;

 

    12

     

    

 

(vi)           
 that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, no later than the close of business
on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name
of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes delivered for repurchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his
election to have the Notes repurchased;

 

(vii)          
that Holders whose Notes are being repurchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple
thereof; and

 

(viii)         
if such notice is sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned
on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

(c)          
The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of
a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Section 4.04, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not
be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.04 by virtue of such compliance.

 

(d)          
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful,

 

(i)             
accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 

(ii)            
deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes
accepted for payment; and

 

(iii)           
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate
stating the aggregate principal amount of Note or portions of Notes being repurchased by the Company.

 

(e)          
The Paying Agent will promptly send to each Holder of Notes accepted for payment the Change of Control Payment for such
Notes deposited pursuant to (d)(ii) above, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and send (or cause to be transferred by book
entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided
that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and or any integral multiple of $1,000. 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. Except as described
above with respect to a Change of Control, the Indenture does not contain provisions that permit Holders of the Notes to require
the Company to repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or other similar transaction.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4.04, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer
upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) 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 4.04 and purchases all Notes properly
tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer; or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section
3.01 hereof, unless and until there is a default in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price.

has been waived by the holders thereof or (ii) the holders of such debt that is the subject of such Event of Default have rescinded
their declaration of acceleration in respect of such debt, and written notice of such cure, waiver or rescission shall have been
given to the Trustee by the Company and countersigned by the holders of such debt or a trustee, fiduciary or agent for such holders,
within 20 days after such declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes and if the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes

O’REILLY AUTOMOTIVE, INC.

 

1.750% Senior Notes due 2031

 

1.            
Indenture

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue
of Notes of the Company, designated as its 1.750% Senior Notes due 2031 (herein called the “Notes,” which expression
includes any Additional Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Supplemental Indenture (as hereinafter defined)), issued
and to be issued under an indenture, dated as of May 20, 2019 (the “Base Indenture”), between O’REILLY AUTOMOTIVE,
INC., a Missouri corporation (such company, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein
called the “Company”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by
the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 23, 2020 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the
Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee, to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto, Board Resolutions and Officers’ Certificates relevant to the Notes reference is hereby made for a complete description
of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders
of the Notes. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.

 

The Indenture imposes certain limitations
on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to create or incur Liens or engage in Sale and Leaseback Transactions, in each
case, subject to some exceptions as set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture also imposes certain limitations on the ability of
the Company to merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into any other person or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of the property of the Company in any one transaction or series of related transactions, in
each case, subject to some exceptions as set forth in the Indenture.

 

Each Note is subject to, and qualified by,
all such terms as set forth in the Indenture, certain of which are summarized herein, and each Holder of a Note is referred to
the corresponding provisions of the Indenture for a complete statement of such terms. To the extent that there is any inconsistency
between the summary provisions set forth in the Notes and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern.

 

2.            
Interest

 

The Company promises to pay interest on
the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semiannually on March 15 and
September 15 of each year, commencing March 15, 2021. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest
has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from September 23, 2020. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months.

 

3.            
Paying Agent, Registrar and Service Agent

 

Initially, the Trustee will act as
Paying Agent, registrar and service agent. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, registrar or co-registrar and
service agent without notice. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, registrar, co-registrar or
service agent.

 

    

     

    

 

4.            
Defaults and Remedies; Waiver

 

If an Event of Default with respect to any
Notes at the time outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(4) or (5) of the Base Indenture
with respect to the Company or any Guarantor) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Company in writing (and to the Trustee, if given by Holders of the Notes)
specifying the Event of Default, may declare the principal amount of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but
not including, the date of acceleration on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such amounts shall be
due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(4) or (5) of the Base Indenture with
respect to the Company or any Guarantor occurs, the principal amount of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but
not including, the date of such Event of Default on all the Notes 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 of the Notes.

 

At any time after the principal of the Notes
shall have been so declared due and payable (or shall have become immediately due and payable), and before any judgment or decree
for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as provided in the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul
such declaration and its consequences, and waive such Event of Default, if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with
respect to the Notes, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on Notes that shall
not have become due by their terms, shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.04 of the Base Indenture.
No such rescission shall extend to any subsequent Default or amend any contractual right consequent thereto.

 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Notes by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences except
a continuing Default in the payment of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on a Note. When
a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or amend any contractual
right consequent thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to this paragraph and Section 6.02 of the Base Indenture,
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences,
including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration, with respect to the Notes.

 

Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture
or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with law or the Indenture, or subject to Section 7.01 of the Base Indenture, that the Trustee determines
is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of the Notes or that would subject the Trustee to personal liability; provided,
however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.
Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against all losses
and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

5.            
 Amendment

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions
as therein provided, the amendment of the Indenture or this Note and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company
or any Guarantor, if any, and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company or any Guarantor,
if any, and the Trustee without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes)
affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes by written notice to the Trustee to waive an existing Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences except a
continuing Default in the payment of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on a Note. A consent
to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of
the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made
on the Note.

 

6.            
Obligations Absolute

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and
no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall amend the contractual obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay the principal of, premium , if any, or interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the
coin or currency herein prescribed.

 

7.            
Redemption Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event 

 

Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event,

obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility or incurs or guarantees obligations under any other Credit Facility Debt or
Capital Markets Debt of the Company or any future Guarantor, such Subsidiary would be required to guarantee the Notes on a
senior unsecured basis.
