 ARTICLE TWO 
 THE NOTES 
 SECTION 2.01. Form and Dating. 
 The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have
notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. The Issuer shall approve the form of the Notes and any notation, legend or endorsement on them. Each Note shall be dated the date of its issuance and show the date of
its authentication. Each Note shall have an executed Note Guarantee from each of the Guarantors existing on the Issue Date endorsed thereon substantially in the form of Exhibit E. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable,
the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note or Note Guarantee conflicts with
the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 Notes offered and sold in
reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of a single permanent global Note in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “144A Global Note”), deposited with the Trustee, as
custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Issuer (and having an executed Note Guarantee from each of the Guarantors endorsed thereon) and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear the legends set forth in
Exhibit B. 
 Notes offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of a
single temporary global Note in registered form, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Temporary Regulation S Global Note”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Issuer (and
having an executed Note Guarantee from each of the Guarantors endorsed thereon) and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear the legends set forth in Exhibit B. After the expiration of the 40-day distribution
compliance period (as defined in Regulation S) beneficial interests in 

  

 33 

 
each Temporary Regulation S Global Note will be exchanged pursuant to Section 2.16 and the rules and procedures of the Depository for beneficial
interests in a single permanent global Note in registered form substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Permanent Regulation S Global Note,” and together with the Temporary Regulation S Global Note, the
“Regulation S Global Note”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Issuer (and having an executed Note Guarantee from each of the Guarantors endorsed thereon) and authenticated by the
Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear the legends set forth in Exhibit B. The 144A Global Notes and the Regulation S Global Note are referred to collectively in this Indenture as the “Initial Global Notes.”

 The initial offer and resale of the Notes shall not be to an Institutional Accredited Investor. The Notes resold to Institutional
Accredited Investors in connection with the first transfer made pursuant to Section 2.16(a) shall be issued as Physical Notes (as defined in the second succeeding paragraph). 
 Notes issued after the Issue Date shall be issued initially in the form of one or more global Notes in registered form, substantially in the form set
forth in Exhibit A, deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Issuer (and having an executed Note Guarantee from each of the Guarantors endorsed thereon) and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter
provided and shall bear any legends required by applicable law (together with the Initial Global Notes, the “Global Notes”) or as Physical Notes (as defined in the succeeding paragraph). 
 The aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes 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. Notes issued in exchange for interests in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.16 may be issued in the form of permanent certificated Notes in registered form in substantially the form set
forth in Exhibit A and bearing the applicable legends, if any (the “Physical Notes”). 
 SECTION 2.02. Execution,
Authentication and Denomination; Additional Notes; Exchange Notes. 
 One Officer of the Issuer (who shall have been duly authorized by
all requisite corporate actions) shall sign the Notes by manual or facsimile signature. One Officer of a Guarantor (who shall have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) shall sign the Note Guarantee for such Guarantor by manual or
facsimile signature. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Note or Note Guarantee, as the case may be, was an Officer at the time of such
execution but no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note or the Note Guarantees, as the case may be, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Note (and the Note Guarantees in respect thereof) shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive
evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
  

 34 

 The Trustee shall authenticate (i) on the Issue Date, Notes for original issue in the aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $400,000,000 (the “Initial Notes”), (ii) additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”) having identical terms as the Initial Notes, except for the issue date, in an unlimited
aggregate principal amount (so long as not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10) and (iii) Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes (x) in exchange for a like principal
amount of Initial Notes or (y) in exchange for a like principal amount of Additional Notes in each case upon a written order of the Issuer in the form of a certificate of an Officer of the Issuer (an “Authentication Order”).
Each such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes, Exchange Notes, Private Exchange Notes or Additional Notes and
whether the Notes are to be issued as certificated Notes or Global Notes or such other information as the Trustee may reasonably request. In addition, with respect to authentication pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of
this paragraph, the first such Authentication Order from the Issuer shall be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel of the Issuer in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. 
 All Notes issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture. The Additional Notes and the Private
Exchange Notes shall bear any legend required by applicable law, stock exchange rule or usage. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating
agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Issuer and Affiliates of the Issuer. The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes under this
Indenture if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability. 
 The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. 
 SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 The Issuer shall maintain or cause to be maintained an office or agency in the the city of Chicago, Illinois where (a) Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”),
(b) Notes may, subject to Section 2 of the Notes, be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”) and (c) notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.
The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however,
that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain or cause to be maintained an office or agency in the city of Chicago, Illinois, for such purposes. The Issuer may act as Registrar or Paying
Agent, except that for the purposes of Article Eight, neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer shall act as Paying 

  

 35 

 
Agent. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer, 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 “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer initially
appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent until such time as the Trustee has resigned or a successor has been appointed. 
 The
Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee, in advance, of the
name and address of any such Agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. 
 SECTION
2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Assets in Trust. 
 The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee or the Issuer or any
Subsidiary 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 Notes (whether such assets have been
distributed to it by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes), and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Issuer 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 Issuer to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such
assets. 
 SECTION 2.05. Holder Lists. 
 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to
the Trustee at least two (2) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. 

Subject to Sections 2.15 and 2.16, when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Notes or to exchange such
Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the
Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in
writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall 

  

 36 

 
authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Without the prior
written consent of the Issuer, the Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes and
ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article Three, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, and (iii) beginning at the opening of
business on any Record Date and ending on the close of business on the related Interest Payment Date. 
 Any Holder of a beneficial interest
in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Notes may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) in
accordance with the applicable legends thereon, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry system. 
 SECTION 2.07. Replacement Notes. 
 If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder
of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. Such Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other
indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of both the Issuer and the Trustee, to protect the Issuer, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge such Holder for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Note pursuant to this Section 2.07, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and of the Trustee. 
 Every replacement Note shall be an additional obligation of the Issuer and every replacement Note Guarantee shall constitute an additional obligation of the Guarantor thereof. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes. 
 SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Notes. 
 Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer, the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates hold the Note (subject to the provisions of
Section 2.09). 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it
ceases to be outstanding unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and
replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.07. 
  

 37 

 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding and interest ceases to accrue. If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or an Affiliate thereof) holds U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay all of the
principal and interest due on the Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 SECTION 2.09. Treasury Notes. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount
of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer 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 Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be disregarded. 
 SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes. 
 Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the
Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Notes
are represented by a Global Note, such Global Note may be in typewritten form. 
 SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. 
 The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes
surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary), and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the
Issuer, shall dispose of all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures, and shall deliver certification of such destruction to the Issuer. Subject to Section 2.07, the Issuer
may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Issuer or any Guarantor shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the
Indebtedness represented by such Notes 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 Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it
shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders on a 

  

 38 

 
subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Issuer for the payment of defaulted interest or
the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 15 days before any such subsequent special record date, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed (or upon written request by the Issuer to the Trustee, the Trustee
shall mail or cause to be mailed at the expense of the Issuer) to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such
defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. 
 SECTION 2.13. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. 
 The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers, and if so, the Trustee shall use the “CUSIP” or
“ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the “CUSIP” or
“ISIN” numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” or
“ISIN” numbers. 
 SECTION 2.14. Deposit of Moneys. 
 Subject to Section 2 of the Notes, prior to 10:00 a.m. New York time on each Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of
Control Payment Date and Net Proceeds Payment Date, the Issuer 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, Maturity Date, Redemption
Date, Change of Control Payment Date and Net Proceeds Payment 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, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of
Control Payment Date and Net Proceeds Payment Date, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 2.15. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.

 (a) The Global Notes 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 B, as applicable. 
 Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Participants”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the
Global Note, and the Depository may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent
the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer 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 Note. 
  

 39 

 (b) Transfers of Global Notes 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 Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.16.
In addition, Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Notes if the Depository notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to act as Depository for any Global Note, the
Issuer so notifies the Trustee in writing and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice. Upon any issuance of a Physical Note in accordance with this Section 2.15(b), the Trustee is required to register
such Physical Note in the name of, and cause the same to be delivered to, such person or persons (or the nominee of any thereof). All such Physical Notes shall bear the applicable legends, if any. 
 (c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section 2.15, the Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount
of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note so transferred. 
 (d) In connection with the transfer of a Global Note as an
entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.15, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and (i) the Issuer shall execute, (ii) the Guarantors shall execute
notations of Note Guarantees on and (iii) the Trustee shall upon written instructions from the Issuer authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note,
an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations. 
 (e) Any Physical Note constituting a Restricted
Security delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.15 shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.16, bear the Private Placement Legend. 
 (f) The Holder of any Global Note 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 Notes. 
 SECTION 2.16. Special
Transfer and Exchange Provisions. 
 (a) Transfers to Non-QIB Institutional Accredited Investors. The following provisions shall
apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Restricted Security to any Institutional Accredited Investor which is not a QIB: 
 (i) the Registrar shall register the transfer of any Restricted Security, whether or not such Note bears the Private Placement Legend, if (x) the requested transfer is after the second anniversary of the Issue
Date; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer has held any beneficial interest in such Note, or portion 

  

 40 

 
thereof, at any time on or prior to the second anniversary of the Issue Date or (y) the proposed transferee has delivered to the Registrar a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and any legal opinions and certifications as may be reasonably requested by the Trustee and the Issuer; 
 (ii) if the proposed transferee is a Participant holding a beneficial interest in a Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of
(x) the documents, if any, required by clause (y) of paragraph (i) above and (y) instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s and the Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and
records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and amount. 
 (b) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with
respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Restricted Security to a QIB: 
 (i) the Registrar shall register
the transfer of any Restricted Security, whether or not such Note bears the Private Placement Legend, if (x) the requested transfer is after the second anniversary of the Issue Date; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor
any Affiliate of the Issuer has held any beneficial interest in such Note, or portion thereof, at any time on or prior to the second anniversary of the Issue Date or (y) such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the
box provided for on the applicable Global Note stating, or has otherwise advised the Issuer and the Registrar in writing, that the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who has signed the certification

Restricted Subsidiary or Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Equity Interests for the purpose of financing or in
contemplation of any such acquisition; provided that (a) any amount of such obligations included on the face of the balance sheet of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be permitted under this clause (13) and
(b) in the case of a disposition, the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such obligations outstanding under this clause (13) shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Issuer and the Restricted
Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition; and 
 (14) Additional Indebtedness of the Issuer or additional Indebtedness
or Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate amount or liquidation preference, together with any Refinancing Indebtedness thereof, not to exceed $20.0 million at any time outstanding (which Indebtedness may, but need not be
incurred, in whole or in part, under any Credit Facility). 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.10, in the
event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (14) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception, the
Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness and may divide and classify such Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described, except that Indebtedness incurred under any Credit Facility on the Issue
Date shall be deemed to have been incurred under clause (1) above, and may later reclassify any item of Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (14) above (provided that at the time of reclassification it meets the
criteria in such category or categories). In addition, for purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this Section 4.10, guarantees, Liens or letter of credit obligations supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in
the determination of such particular amount shall not be included so long as incurred by a Person that could have incurred such Indebtedness. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.10, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that may be outstanding pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall be deemed not to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness,
due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies. 
  

 53 

 The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of
interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness, the reclassification of Preferred Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Equity Interests in the form of
additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Equity Interests shall be deemed not to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.10. 
 SECTION 4.11. Limitation on Layering Indebtedness. 
 The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness that is or purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or of such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, to the same
extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be. 
 For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness shall be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) by virtue of being unsecured or
secured by a junior priority lien, (ii) by virtue of the fact that the holders of such Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements or other arrangements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the
collateral held by them or (iii) by virtue of the fact that there are distinctions between categories of Indebtedness that exist by reason of any Liens or Guarantees arising or created in respect of some but not all such Indebtedness.

 SECTION 4.12. Limitation on Restricted Payments. 
 The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment if at the time of such Restricted Payment: 
 (1) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof; 
 (2) the Issuer cannot incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; or 
  

 54 

 (3) the amount of such Restricted Payment, when added to the aggregate amount of all
other Restricted Payments made after the Issue Date (other than Restricted Payments made pursuant to clause (2), (3), (5), (6), (7), (9), (10), (11), (12), (13) or (14) of the next paragraph), exceeds the sum (the “Restricted
Payments Basket”) of (without duplication): 
 (a) 50% of Consolidated Net Income for the period (taken as one
accounting period) commencing on the first day of the fiscal quarter in which the Issue Date occurs to and including the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ended immediately prior to the date of such calculation for which consolidated
financial statements are available (or, if such Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such aggregate deficit), plus  
 (b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the Fair Market Value of property and marketable securities received by the Issuer either (x) as contributions to the capital of the Issuer after the Issue Date or
(y) from the issuance and sale of Qualified Equity Interests after the Issue Date, other than (A) any such proceeds which are used to redeem Notes in accordance with Section 3.07(c) hereof or (B) any such proceeds or assets
received from a Subsidiary of the Issuer, plus  
 (c) the aggregate amount by which Indebtedness (other than any
Subordinated Indebtedness) permitted by this Indenture to be incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary subsequent to the Issue Date is reduced on the Issuer’s consolidated balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than by a
Subsidiary of the Issuer) into Qualified Equity Interests (less the amount of any cash, or the fair value of assets, distributed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange), plus  
 (d) in the case of the disposition or repayment of or return on (including but not limited to payments of interest on Indebtedness,
dividends, repayments of loans or advances, other transfers of assets or releases of any guarantees) after the Issue Date with respect to any Investment that was treated as a Restricted Payment made after the Issue Date, an amount (to the extent not
included in the computation of Consolidated Net Income) equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the aggregate amount received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in cash, marketable securities or other property (in each case valued at the
Fair Market Value thereof) as the return of capital with respect to such Investment and (ii) the amount of such Investment that was treated as a Restricted Payment, in either case, less the cost of the disposition of such Investment, plus
 
 (e) In the event that the Issuer and/or any Restricted Subsidiary has made Investments (the “Initial
Investments”) in a Person that were previously treated as Restricted Payments and the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary makes a subsequent Investment (the “Subsequent Investment”) in such Person that, as a consequence of
or in connection with the Subsequent Investment, results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Initial Investments immediately prior to the consummation of the
Subsequent Investment, and (ii) the amount of the Initial Investments to the extent such Investments reduced the Restricted Payments Basket and were not previously repaid or otherwise reduced, plus  
  

 55 

 (f) upon a Redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, the
lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Issuer’s proportionate interest in such Subsidiary immediately following such Redesignation, and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Issuer’s Investments in such Subsidiary to the extent
such Investments reduced the Restricted Payments Basket and were not previously repaid or otherwise reduced. 
 The foregoing provisions
shall not prohibit: 
 (1) the payment by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of any dividend within 60 days after the
date of declaration thereof, if on the date of declaration the payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (2) the redemption of any Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent issuance and sale of, Qualified Equity Interests; 
 (3) the redemption of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (a) in exchange for, or out of the
proceeds of the substantially concurrent issuance and sale of, Qualified Equity Interests, (b) in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent incurrence of, Refinancing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under
Section 4.10 hereof and the other terms of this Indenture or (c) out of the proceeds of a capital contribution to the Issuer; 
 (4) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition of Equity Interests of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries from employees, former employees, consultants, directors or former directors of the Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries (or permitted transferees of such employees, former employees, directors or former directors), and any dividend payment or other distribution by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to the Parent utilized for the repurchase,
redemption or other acquisition of any Equity Interests of such Parent held by employees, former employees, directors or former directors of the Parent or its Subsidiaries or permitted transferees, heirs or estates of such employees, former
employees, directors or former directors pursuant to the terms of the agreements (including employment agreements) or plans (or amendments thereto) approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent of the Issuer under which such individuals purchase
or sell, or are granted the option to purchase or sell, such Equity Interests; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such repurchases and other acquisitions shall not exceed $2.5 million in any calendar year (it being
understood, however, that unused amounts permitted to be paid pursuant to this proviso are available to be carried over, but only to the next calendar year); 
 (5) repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options or warrants if the Equity Interests represent a
portion of the exercise price thereof; 
  

 56 

 (6) payments or distributions, to dissenting stockholders required by applicable law,
pursuant to or in connection with a consolidation, merger or transfer of assets of the Issuer that complies with the provisions of this Indenture applicable to mergers, consolidations and transfers of all or substantially all of the property and
assets of the Issuer (including, without limitation, in connection with the Transactions); 
 (7) Investments acquired as a
capital contribution to the Issuer, or in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of a substantially concurrent offering of, Qualified Equity Interests; 
 (8) the payment (A) by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to the Parent, which payment is used by the Parent, following an initial Public Equity Offering by the Parent, to pay dividends of up to 6% of the
net cash proceeds received by the Parent in such Public Equity Offering (or any subsequent Public Equity Offering) that are contributed to the Issuer by such Person, in any form other than Disqualified Equity Interests or Indebtedness, or
(B) by the Issuer, following an initial Public Equity Offering by the Issuer, to pay dividends of up to 6% of the net cash proceeds received by the Issuer in such initial Public Equity Offering (or any subsequent Public Equity Offering by the
Issuer); 
 (9) Permitted Payments to Parent; 
 (10) the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accumulated dividends to holders of (i) any class or series of
Disqualified Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, which Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock were issued after the Issue Date in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (11) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control and within 60 days after completion of a
Change of Control Offer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (including the purchase of all Notes tendered), any purchase or redemption of Subordinated Indebtedness or Disqualified Equity Interests of the Issuer that is required to be
repurchased or redeemed pursuant to the terms thereof as a result of a Change of Control, at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the outstanding principal amount or liquidation preference thereof (plus accrued and unpaid interest or
accumulated dividends thereon); 
 (12) payment of fees and the reimbursement of other expenses to the Existing Stockholders
and/or their Affiliates in connection with the Transactions as described in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Certain Related Party Transactions” in an aggregate amount not to exceed $3.5 million; 
 (13) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Indebtedness or Disqualified Equity
Interests pursuant to the provisions similar to those described in Section 4.16 hereof, provided that a Net Proceeds Offer has 

  

 57 

 
been made in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and all Notes tendered by Holders in connection with such offers, as applicable, have been
repurchased, redeemed or acquired for value; and 
 (14) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount with all other
Restricted Payments described in this clause (14) not to exceed $15.0 million, 
 provided that (a) in the case of any Restricted Payment
pursuant to clause (4), (8) or (12) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or occur as a consequence thereof and (b) no issuance and sale of Qualified Equity Interests pursuant to clause (2), (3) or (7) shall
increase the Restricted Payments Basket, except to the extent such proceeds are not used for such redemption, repurchase or other acquisition. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (x) the amount, if other than in cash, of any Restricted Payment shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive
and evidenced by a board resolution and (y) in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Restricted Payments described in the above clauses, including, without limitation, the first paragraph of
this Section 4.12, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, may order and classify, and from time to time may reclassify, such Restricted Payment if it would have been permitted at the time such Restricted Payment was made and at the time of such
reclassification. 
 SECTION 4.13. Limitation on Dividend and Other Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become
effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 
 (a) pay
dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Equity Interests; 
 (b) make loans or advances or pay any
Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or 
 (c) transfer any of its assets
to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; except for: 
 (1) encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason
of applicable law, rule, regulation or order; 
 (2) encumbrances or restrictions existing under this Indenture, the Notes and
the Note Guarantees; 
 (3) non-assignment provisions of any contract or any lease entered into in the ordinary course of
business; 
  

 58 

 (4) encumbrances or restrictions existing under agreements existing on the date of this
Indenture (including, without limitation, the Credit Facility) as in effect on that date; 
 (5) restrictions relating to any
Lien permitted under this Indenture imposed by the holder of such Lien; 
 (6) restrictions imposed under any agreement to
sell such assets permitted under this Indenture to any Person pending the closing of such sale, including, but not limited to, with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary, restrictions imposed pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the
sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of, or property and assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (7) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of the acquisition of, or a merger with, the Person being acquired), which encumbrance or restriction is not
applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired; 
 (8) any other agreement governing Indebtedness entered into after the Issue Date that contains encumbrances and restrictions that are not materially more restrictive taken as a whole with respect to any Restricted
Subsidiary than those in effect on the Issue Date with respect to that Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to agreements in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (9) customary provisions in partnership agreements, limited liability company organizational governance documents, joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business
that restrict the transfer of (i) ownership interests in such partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or similar Person or (ii) other assets that are the subject of such agreements or documents; 
 (10) in the case of clause (c) above, encumbrances or restrictions: 
 (A) that restrict in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is a lease, license,
conveyance or contract or similar property or asset, 
 (B) existing by virtue of any transfer of, agreement to transfer,
option or right with respect to, or Lien on, any property or assets of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, 
 (C) arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, or 
  

 59 

 (D) arising under Purchase Money Obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course
of business; 
 (11) encumbrances or restrictions contained in (i) Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries permitted to be
incurred under this Indenture or (ii) Indebtedness incurred by a Guarantor after the Issue Date in compliance with the Coverage Ratio Exception; provided, that the encumbrances and restrictions in any such agreements taken as a whole are
no more restrictive in any material respect than those contained in the agreements described in clause (4) of this paragraph; provided further that any such encumbrances or restrictions are ordinary and customary with respect to the type
of Indebtedness being incurred under the relevant circumstances and do not, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, materially impair the Issuer’s ability to make payment on the Notes when due; and 
 (12) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendment, refinancing, extension, renewal or replacement of or with respect to the
agreements, contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (1) through (11) above; provided that such amendments, refinancings, extensions, renewals or replacements are, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer’s
Board of Directors, no more materially restrictive taken as a whole with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those prior to such amendment, refinancing, extension, renewal or replacement. 
 Nothing contained in this Section 4.13 shall prevent the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from (1) creating, incurring, assuming or suffering to exist any
Liens otherwise permitted in Section 4.15 hereof or (2) restricting the sale or other disposition of property or assets of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that secure Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION 4.14. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. 
 The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions,
sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets to, or purchase any assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer or of any
Restricted Subsidiary (an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 
 (1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms
that, taken as a whole, are materially no less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time (or, if such transaction is pursuant to a written
agreement, at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor) on an arm’s-length basis by the Issuer or that Restricted Subsidiary from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer or that Restricted Subsidiary; and

  

 60 

 (2) if applicable, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee: 
 (a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving an aggregate amount in excess of $5.0 million, a Secretary’s Certificate
which sets forth and authenticates a resolution that has been adopted by the disinterested members of the Board of Directors or, if there is only one disinterested member of the Board of Directors with respect to such transaction, such member,
approving such Affiliate Transaction (or, in case of this clause (a) only, the written opinion described in clause (b) of this paragraph (2) in lieu of such certificate); and 
 (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving an aggregate amount of $10.0 million or more, the certificate described in the
preceding clause (a) and a written opinion as to the fairness of such Affiliate Transaction to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view issued by an Independent Financial Advisor to the Board of Directors of the
Issuer. 
 The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to: 
 (1) transactions exclusively between or among (a) the Issuer and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or (b) Restricted
Subsidiaries; provided, in each case, that no Affiliate of the Issuer (other than another Restricted Subsidiary) owns Equity Interests of any such Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (2) reasonable director, officer and employee compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including retirement, health, stock
option and other benefit plans and issuances of securities related thereto) and indemnification arrangements, in each case, in the ordinary course of business or otherwise consistent with past practices; 
 (3) the issuance of securities or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to or the funding of,
employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans or similar employee benefit plans approved by the Board of Directors and loans to employees of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries which are approved by the Board of Directors; 

(4) any Permitted Investments or any Restricted Payments not prohibited by Section 4.12; 
 (5)(x) any agreement in effect on the Issue Date and disclosed in or expressly contemplated by the Offering Memorandum, as in effect on
the Issue Date or any date that it is disclosed in the Offering Memorandum that such agreement shall become effective or as thereafter amended or replaced in any manner, that, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the Holders or the
Issuer taken as a whole in any material respect than such agreement as it was in effect on the Issue Date or (y) any transaction pursuant to any agreement referred to in the immediately preceding clause (x); 
 (6) any transaction with a joint venture or similar entity which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Issuer or a
Restricted Subsidiary 

  

 61 

 
owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such joint venture or similar entity; provided that no Affiliate of the Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary shall have a beneficial interest in such joint venture or similar entity; 
 (7) transactions with Affiliates that are customers, suppliers, contractors, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case which are in the ordinary course of business and
otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, and which are fair to the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors, chief executive officer or chief financial officer
of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, or are on terms that, taken as a whole, are materially not less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained, at the time of such transaction or, if such
transaction is pursuant to a written agreement, at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with such a Person that is not such an Affiliate; 
 (8) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of their obligation, if any, or obligations of the
Issuer under the terms of, any subscription, registration rights or stockholders agreements, partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement to which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party as of the Issue Date and which is
disclosed in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Certain Related Party Transactions”; provided, however, that the entering into by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or the performance by the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause to the extent that the terms of any such amendment
or new agreement, taken as a whole, are not materially more disadvantageous to the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries, or the holders of the Notes, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, chief executive officer or chief financial
officer of the Issuer; 
 (9) any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or any other investment
banking, banking or similar services involving the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including without limitation any payments in cash, Equity Interests or other consideration made by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in
connection therewith) on the one hand and the Existing Stockholders and any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, which services (and payments and other transactions in connection therewith) are approved as fair to the Issuer or such Restricted
Subsidiary by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors or, if there is only one disinterested member of the Board of Directors with respect to such transaction, such member; 
 (10) transactions with Persons in their capacity as holder of Indebtedness or Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary
where such Persons are treated no more favorably than holders of such Indebtedness or Equity Interests generally; and 
  

 62 

 (11)(a) any transaction with an Affiliate of the Issuer or of a Restricted Subsidiary
where the only consideration paid by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is Qualified Equity Interests, or (b) the issuance or sale of any Qualified Equity Interests. 
 SECTION 4.15. Limitation on Liens. 
 The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Lien of any nature whatsoever (other than a Permitted Lien) against any assets of the
Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (including Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits
therefrom (other than Permitted Liens), unless contemporaneously therewith: 
 (1) in the case of any Lien securing an
obligation that ranks pari passu with the Notes or a Note Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, at least equally and ratably with or prior to such obligation with a Lien on the
same collateral; and 
 (2) in the case of any Lien securing an obligation that is subordinated in right of payment to the
Notes or a Note Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, with a Lien on the same collateral that is prior to the Lien securing such subordinated obligation, 
 in each case, for so long as such obligation is secured by such Lien. 
 SECTION 4.16. Limitation on Asset Sales. 
 The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless: 
 (1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary
receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets included in such Asset Sale; and 
 (2) at least 75% of the total consideration received in such Asset Sale consists of cash or Cash Equivalents. 
 For purposes of clause (2), the following shall be deemed to be cash: 
 (a) the amount (without duplication) of any
liabilities (other than Subordinated Indebtedness, a contingent obligation or Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary that is expressly assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale
and with respect to which the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is irrevocably and unconditionally released by the holder of such Indebtedness, 
  

 63 

 (b) the amount of any obligations received from such transferee that are within 180 days
converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary to cash (to the extent of the cash actually so received), 
 (c) the
Fair Market Value of (i) any assets (other than securities) received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to be used by it in a Permitted Business, (ii) Equity Interests in a Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary or in a Person
engaged in a Permitted Business that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary immediately upon the acquisition of such Person by the Issuer or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii); and 
 (d) any combination of the consideration specified in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c). 
 If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to clause (b) above in
connection with any Asset Sale is repaid or converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion or disposition shall be
deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.16. 
 If the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall, no later than 365 days following the consummation thereof, apply all or any of the Net Available
Proceeds therefrom to: 
 (1) repay any Indebtedness under any Credit Agreement, in each case, owing to a Person other than
the Parent, the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Parent (except to an Affiliate of the Parent solely in its capacity as a lender under the Credit Agreement); 
 (2) repay any Indebtedness which was secured solely by the assets sold in such Asset Sale, in each case, owing to a Person other than the Parent, the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Parent (except to an Affiliate of
the Parent solely in its capacity as a lender under the Credit Agreement); 
 (3)(A) invest all or any part of the Net
Available Proceeds thereof in the purchase of assets (other than securities) to be used by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in a Permitted Business, (B) acquire Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) in a Person that
is a Restricted Subsidiary or in a Person engaged in a Permitted Business that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary immediately upon the consummation of such acquisition or (C) a combination of (A) and (B); and/or 
  

 64 

 (4) a combination of the repayment and reinvestment permitted by the foregoing clauses
(1) through (3). 
 Pending the final application of any Net Available Proceeds, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or
otherwise invest the Net Available Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 The amount of Net Available Proceeds
not applied or invested or committed to be applied or invested within the 365-day period as provided in the paragraph above and remaining unapplied, uninvested and uncommitted at the end of such 365-day period shall constitute “Excess
Proceeds.” 
 When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $10.0 million, the Issuer shall be required to make an
offer to purchase from all Holders on a pro rata basis and, if applicable, redeem (or make an offer to purchase) any Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuer the provisions of which require the Issuer to redeem such Indebtedness with the proceeds from
any Asset Sales (or offer to do so), in an aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness equal to the amount of such Excess Proceeds as follows: 
 (1) the Issuer shall (a) make an offer to purchase (a “Net Proceeds Offer”) to all Holders in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Indenture, and (b) redeem (or make an offer to purchase) any such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts of the Notes and such other Indebtedness required to
be redeemed, the maximum principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be redeemed out of the amount (the “Payment Amount”) of such Excess Proceeds; 
 (2) the offer price for the Notes shall be payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes tendered
pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date such Net Proceeds Offer is consummated (the “Offered Price”), in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and the
redemption or purchase price for such Pari Passu Indebtedness (the “Pari Passu Indebtedness Price”) shall be as set forth in the related documentation governing such Indebtedness; 
 (3) if the aggregate Offered Price of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by Holders thereof exceeds the pro rata portion of
the Payment Amount allocable to the Notes, Notes to be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis; and 
 (4) upon
completion of such Net Proceeds Offer in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Excess Proceeds subject to such Net Proceeds Offer shall no longer be deemed to be Excess Proceeds. 
 To the extent that the sum of the aggregate Offered Price of Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer and the aggregate Pari Passu Indebtedness
Price paid to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness is less than the Payment Amount relating thereto (such shortfall constituting a “Net Proceeds Deficiency”), the Issuer may use the Net Proceeds 

  

 65 

 
Deficiency, or a portion thereof, for general corporate purposes, subject to the provisions of this Indenture. 
 Upon the commencement of a Net Proceeds Offer, the Issuer shall send or cause to be sent (or upon written request by the Issuer to the Trustee, Trustee
shall send or cause to be sent at the expense of the Issuer), by first-class mail, a notice to the Trustee and to each Holder at its registered address. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holder to
tender Notes pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer. Any Net Proceeds Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Net Proceeds Offer, shall state: 
 (1) that the Net Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section; 
 (2) the Payment Amount, the Offered Price, and the date on which Notes tendered and accepted for payment shall be purchased, which date
shall be at least 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Net Proceeds Payment Date”); 
 (3) that any Notes not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest; 
 (4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Net Proceeds Payment Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to any Net Proceeds Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with
the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, a depository, if appointed by the Issuer, or the Paying Agent at the address specified in the
notice at least three days before the Net Proceeds Payment Date; 
 (6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their
election if the Issuer, the Depository or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the Net Proceeds Payment Date, a notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase
and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 
 (7) that if the aggregate
principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Payment Amount allocable to the Notes, the Issuer shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so
that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and 
 (8)
that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry). 
  

 66 

 On the Net Proceeds Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful: (1) accept for payment all
Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, subject to proration if the aggregate Notes tendered exceed the Payment Amount allocable to the Notes; (2) deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender equal to
the lesser of the Payment Amount allocable to the Notes and the amount sufficient to pay the Offered Price in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so accepted; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted
together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being repurchased by the Issuer. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Net Proceeds Offer on the Net Proceeds Payment
Date. 
 The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Offered Price for such Notes, and the Trustee shall
promptly authenticate pursuant to an Authentication Order and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that
each such new Note shall be in principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. However, if the Net Proceeds Payment Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any
accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer.

 The Issuer shall comply with applicable tender offer rules, including the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.16, the Issuer shall comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.16. 
 SECTION
4.17. Limitation on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
 The Board of Directors may designate (a
“Designation”) any Restricted Subsidiary (including, without limitation, any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary of the Issuer) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless such Subsidiary owns any Equity Interests of, or owns or
holds any Lien on any property of, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (A) any Guarantee by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Indebtedness of the Subsidiary being so designated shall be deemed an
incurrence of such Indebtedness and an “Investment” by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such designation, (B) either (I) the Subsidiary to be so designated has total assets of $1,000 or less or (II) if such
Subsidiary has assets greater than $1,000, such designation would be permitted under Section 4.12 hereof, and (C) if applicable, the incurrence of Indebtedness and the Investment referred to in clause (A) of this proviso would be
permitted under Section 4.10 and Section 4.12 hereof. 
 If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary fails to meet the preceding
requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of the Subsidiary and any Liens on assets of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by
a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if the Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred under Section 4.10 hereof or the Lien is not permitted under Section 4.15 hereof the Issuer shall be in default of the applicable Section.

  

 67 

 The Issuer may redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (a
“Redesignation”) only if: 
 (1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after
giving effect to such Redesignation; and 
 (2) all Liens, Indebtedness and Investments of such Unrestricted Subsidiary
outstanding immediately following such Redesignation would, if incurred or made at such time, have been permitted to be incurred or made for all purposes of this Indenture. 
 All Designations and Redesignations must be evidenced by resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee certifying
compliance with the foregoing provisions. 
 SECTION 4.18. Limitation on the Issuance or Sale of Equity Interests of Restricted
Subsidiaries. 
 The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, sell or issue any
shares of Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary except (1) to the Issuer, a Restricted Subsidiary or the minority stockholders of any Restricted Subsidiary, on a pro rata basis, (2) to the extent such Equity Interests
represent directors’ qualifying shares or shares required by applicable law to be held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary, (3) if immediately after giving effect to such sale or issuance such
Restricted Subsidiary would no longer constitute a Restricted Subsidiary and any Investment in such Person remaining after giving effect to such issuance or sale would have been permitted to be made under Section 4.12 hereof if made on the date
of such issuance or sale, or (4) sales of common stock or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) issued in compliance with this Indenture provided, in each case, that the Issuer or such
Restricted Subsidiary applies the Net Available Proceeds of any such sale in accordance with Section 4.16 hereof. 
 SECTION 4.19.
Additional Note Guarantees. 
 If, after the Issue Date, (a) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall acquire or create
another Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary that has been designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Foreign Subsidiary), (b) any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is not a Foreign Subsidiary is redesignated a Restricted Subsidiary or (c) the
Issuer otherwise elects to have any Restricted Subsidiary become a Guarantor, then, in each such case, the Issuer shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to: 
 (1) execute and deliver to the Trustee (a) a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture and (b) a notation of guarantee in respect of its Note Guarantee; and 
  

 68 

 (2) deliver to the Trustee one or more Opinions of Counsel that such supplemental
indenture (a) has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and (b) constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with its terms. 
 SECTION 4.20. Reports. 
 Whether or
not required by the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, from and after the date of effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration, the Issuer shall furnish to the Holders of Notes upon request and file
electronically with the SEC (unless the SEC will not accept such filing) through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or any successor system), in each case within the time periods applicable to the Issuer under
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (whether or not the Issuer is then subject to such Sections): 
 (1) all
quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Issuer were required to file these Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Issuer’s certified independent accountants; and 
 (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Issuer were required to file these reports.

 In addition, the Issuer has agreed that, at all times prior to the earlier of the date of effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or the Shelf Registration, the Issuer shall, at its cost, deliver to each Holder of the Notes all of the information and reports substantially equivalent to those referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above within the time periods
applicable to the Issuer under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (whether or not the Issuer is then subject to such Sections), provided that the deadline for delivery of the Issuer’s (i) annual report for the year
ended December 31, 2006 shall be March 31, 2007 and (ii) quarterly report for the three months ended March 31, 2007 shall be June 14, 2007. The Issuer and the Guarantors have agreed that, for so long as any Notes remain
outstanding, the Issuer shall furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 In the event that any Parent provides a Note Guarantee and complies with the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC, the
reports, information and other documents required to be filed and furnished to Holders pursuant to this Section 4.20 may, at the option of the Issuer, be filed by and be those of such Parent rather than the Issuer. 
 SECTION 4.21. Suspension of Certain Covenants. 
 During any period of time that the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from the Required Rating Agencies, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Sections 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13,
4.14, 4.16, 4.18, 5.01(a)(3) and 5.01(b) hereof (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). 
  

 69 

 In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants
for any period of time pursuant to this Section 4.21 and, subsequently, a Required Rating Agency withdraws its rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes so that the Notes no longer have Investment Grade Ratings from the Required
Rating Agencies, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to any incurrences, actions or other events undertaken by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from that
time forward, and compliance with the Suspended Covenants with respect to Restricted Payments made after the time of such withdrawal or downgrade shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of Section 4.12 hereof as though such covenant
had been in effect during the entire period of time from the Issue Date. 
 ARTICLE FIVE 
 SUCCESSOR CORPORATION 
 SECTION 5.01.
Mergers, Consolidations, Etc. 
 (a) The Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or a series of related
transactions, (a) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (other than a merger with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of and with the effect of changing the Issuer’s jurisdiction of incorporation to another State of the United
States), or sell, lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of or assign all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or (b) adopt a Plan of Liquidation unless, in
either case: 
 (1) either: 
 (A) the Issuer shall be the surviving or continuing Person; or 
 (B) the Person formed by or
surviving such consolidation or merger or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall be made (or, in the case of a Plan of Liquidation, any Person to which assets are transferred) (collectively, the
“Successor”) is an entity organized and existing under the laws of any State of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, and the Successor expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement; provided that at any time the Successor is a Person other than a corporation, there shall be a
co-issuer of the Notes that is a corporation that satisfies the requirements of this Section 5.01(a)(1)(B); 
 (2)
immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption of the obligations as set forth in clause (1)(B) above and the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, and the use of
any net proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
  

 70 

 (3) immediately after and giving effect to such transaction and the assumption of the
obligations set forth in clause (1)(B) above and the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, and the use of any net proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the Issuer or the Successor, as the case may be, could
incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception. 
 For purposes of this Section 5.01, any Indebtedness
of the Successor which was not Indebtedness of the Issuer immediately prior to the transaction shall be deemed to have been incurred in connection with such transaction. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.01 shall not apply to any action taken by the Issuer not involving any other Person (other than in its capacity as a regulatory or legal authority) resulting in the
conversion of the Issuer from a corporation to a limited liability company or a limited partnership organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any jurisdiction thereof, provided that upon consummation of
any such conversion there shall be a co-issuer of the Notes that is a corporation that satisfies the requirements of clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 5.01(a). 
 (b) Except as provided in Section 10.04 hereof, no Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the
surviving Person) another Person unless: 
 (1) either: 
 (A) such Guarantor shall be the surviving or continuing Person; or 
 (B) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger is another Guarantor or assumes, by supplemental indenture in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of such Guarantor under the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement; 
 (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (3) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such
transaction and such supplemental indenture comply with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, that all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied and that such supplemental indenture is
enforceable. 
  

 71 

 For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single
transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, the Equity Interests of which constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer,
shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer. 
 (c) The
foregoing requirements of this Section 5.01 shall not apply to (x) a consolidation or merger of any Guarantor with and into the Issuer or any other Guarantor, so long as the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, survives such
consolidation or merger, (y) the sale, exchange or transfer, to any Person not a Subsidiary of the Issuer, of all of the Issuer’s and each Restricted Subsidiary’s Equity Interest in, or all or substantially all of the assets of, a
Guarantor in compliance with Section 4.16 hereof, or (z) a reincorporation or conversion of a Guarantor if such reincorporated entity or entity resulting from such conversion succeeds to the liabilities of such Guarantor and in the good
faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Guarantor, whose determination shall be evidenced by a board resolution, any such transaction shall not have as one of its purposes the evasion of the foregoing limitations of this
Section 5.01. 
 (d) Upon any consolidation, combination or merger of the Issuer or a Guarantor, or any transfer of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer in accordance with the foregoing, in which the Issuer or such Guarantor is not the continuing obligor under the Notes or its Note Guarantee, the surviving entity formed by such consolidation or into
which the Issuer or such Guarantor is merged or to which the conveyance, lease or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer or such Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes and
the Note Guarantees with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named therein as the Issuer or such Guarantor and, except in the case of a conveyance, transfer or lease, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be
released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes or in respect of its Note Guarantee, as the case may be, and all of the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s other obligations and covenants under the Notes, this
Indenture and its Note Guarantee, if applicable. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a
Guarantor may consolidate with, merge with or into or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary. 
 ARTICLE SIX 
 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 

SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. 
 Each of the following is an “Event of Default”: 
 (1) failure by the Issuer to pay interest on any
of the Notes when it becomes due and payable and the continuance of any such failure for 30 days; 
  

 72 

 (2) failure by the Issuer to pay the principal on any of the Notes when it becomes due
and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon purchase, upon acceleration or otherwise; 
 (3) failure by the
Issuer to comply with Section 5.01 hereof or in respect of its obligations to make a Change of Control Offer as described in Section 4.09 hereof; 
 (4) failure by the Issuer to comply with any other agreement or covenant in this Indenture and continuance of this failure for 60 consecutive days after notice of the failure has been given to the Issuer by the
Trustee or by the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; 
 (5) default
under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument or agreement under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness now exists or is incurred
after the Issue Date, which default: 
 (a) is caused by a failure to pay at final (but not any interim) fixed maturity
principal on such Indebtedness and such defaulted payment shall not have been made, waived or extended within 30 days of such payment default, or 
 (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express final maturity and such Indebtedness has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled within 30 days of
such acceleration, and 
 in each case, the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with any other Indebtedness with
respect to which an event described in clause (a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, aggregates $15.0 million or more; 
 (6) one or more final judgments or orders that exceed $15.0 million in the aggregate (net of amounts covered by insurance or bonded pursuant to an executed written agreement) for the payment of money have been entered by a court or courts
of competent jurisdiction against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and there shall be any period of 60 consecutive days following entry of the final judgment or order during which a stay of enforcement of such final judgments or orders, by
reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; 
 (7) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to
or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 
 (a) commences a voluntary case, 
 (b) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 
  

 73 

 (c) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of
its assets, or 
 (d) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 
 (8) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 
 (a) is for relief against the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary as a debtor in an involuntary case, 
 (b) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or a Custodian for all or substantially all of the assets of the
Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary, or 
 (c) orders the liquidation of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary,

 and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 
 (9) any Note Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of
such Note Guarantee and this Indenture) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Note Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Note Guarantee). 
 SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. 
 (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the
Issuer) shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee, by written notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and the
Trustee, may declare all amounts owing under the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration, the aggregate principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes shall immediately become due and
payable; provided, that after any such acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences and waive all past Defaults: 
 (1) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree based on such aceleration; 
 (2) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal and interest that has become due solely
because of this acceleration; 
  

 74 

 (3) 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; 
 (4) if the Issuer has paid to the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; 
 (5) in the event of a cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 6.01(7) or (8) hereof, the Trustee
shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived; and 
 (6) No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in clause (5) above has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default
triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (5) above shall be remedied or cured by the Issuer, the relevant Guarantor or the relevant Significant Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the
declaration of acceleration with respect thereto. 
 If an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01
hereof with respect to the Issuer occurs, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without any further notice or action. 
 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 Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy
accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. 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 Sections 2.09, 6.07 and 9.02 hereof, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (which may include consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer of Notes)
by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest on, any Note as specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof.
The Issuer 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. 
  

 75 

 SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. 
 The Holders of not less than a majority in 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 exercising any trust or power conferred on it. Subject to Section 7.01 hereof, 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 involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent
with such direction. 
 In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be
entitled to indemnification against any loss or expense caused by taking such action or following such direction. 
 SECTION 6.06.
Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or for any remedy
thereunder, unless the Trustee: 
 (1) has failed to act for a period of 60 days after receiving written notice of a
continuing Event of Default by such Holder and a request to act by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding; 
 (2) has been offered indemnity satisfactory to it in its reasonable judgment; and 
 (3) has
not received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request. 
 However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of any Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on such Note on or after the due date therefor (after giving effect to the grace period specified
in Section 6.01(1) hereof). 
 A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference
or priority over such other Holder. 
 SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, and interest on, a Note, on or after
the respective due dates therefor, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
  

 76 

 SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes 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 Notes and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 SECTION
6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the
Issuer, 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 hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize
or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder in any such proceeding. The Trustee shall be entitled to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors in the matters as it deems necessary or advisable. 
 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 hereof; 
 Second: to Holders for interest accrued on
the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for interest; 
 Third: to Holders for principal amounts due and unpaid on the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal; and 
 Fourth: to the Issuer or, if applicable, the Guarantors, as their respective interests may appear. 
  

 77 

 The Trustee, upon prior notice to the Issuer, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. 
 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as

Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

 TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 7.01.
Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If a 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 a Default: 
 (1) The Trustee need perform only those duties as are specifically set forth herein or in the Trust Indenture Act and no duties, covenants, responsibilities or obligations shall be implied in this Indenture against
the Trustee. 
 (2) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates (including Officers’ Certificates) or opinions (including Opinions of Counsel) furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.
However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee may not be relieved from liability for
its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) This paragraph
does not limit the effect of Section 7.01(b) hereof. 
  

 78 

 (2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 
 (3) The
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof. 
 (d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or 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 have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not
assured to it. 
 (e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee
is subject to this Section 7.01. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee

resolution, certificate (including any Officers’ Certificate), statement, instrument, opinion (including any Opinion of Counsel), notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 
 (c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent (other than an agent who is an employee of the Trustee) appointed with due care.

or within its rights or powers under this Indenture. 
  

 79 

 (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of
such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

 (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which may be incurred therein or thereby. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate (including any Officers’ Certificate), statement, instrument, opinion (including any Opinion of Counsel), notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document, but
the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled, upon reasonable
notice to the Issuer, to examine the books, records, and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer.

hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 
 SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, its
Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 
  

 80 

 SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. 
 The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be
accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or any document issued in connection with the sale of Notes or any statement in the Notes other
than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Trustee makes no representations with respect to the effectiveness or adequacy of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 7.05. Notice of Default. 
 If a Default occurs and is continuing and the Trustee receives
actual notice of such Default, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the uncured Default within 30 days after such Default occurs provided, however, that, the Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any
continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal or interest including an accelerated payment or the failure to make a payment on the Change of Control Payment Date or the Net Proceeds Payment Date pursuant to a Net Proceeds
Offer or a Default in complying with the provisions of Article Five hereof) if it determines that withholding such notice is in their interest. 
 SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. 
 Within 60 days after each May 15, beginning with May 15, 2007, the
Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events described in Trust Indenture Act § 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with Trust
Indenture Act § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act §§ 313(b), 313(c) and 313(d). 
 A copy of each
report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Issuer and filed with the SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. 
 The Issuer shall notify the Trustee if the Notes become listed on any securities exchange or of any delisting thereof and the Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act § 313(d). 
 SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 
 The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Issuer and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for its services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer 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 may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the
Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
  

 81 

 The Issuer shall indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and its agents for, and hold
them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), liability or expense incurred by them except for such actions to the extent caused by any
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee’s rights, powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee or any of its agents for which it may
seek indemnity. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and its agents subject to the claim may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel;
provided, however, that the Issuer will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee and its agents subject to the claim in connection with such defense as
reasonably determined by the Trustee. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through the
Trustee’s or any of its agents’ negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services after a Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) hereof occurs, such expenses and the compensation for such services shall be paid to the extent allowed under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 
 The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may
remove the Trustee by so notifying the Issuer and the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; 
 (2) the Trustee is adjudged
a bankrupt or an insolvent; 
 (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

 (4) 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 Issuer shall notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee meeting the
requirements of Section 7.10 hereof. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee meeting the requirements of Section 7.10 hereof to
replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. 
  

 82 

 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to
the Issuer. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof, all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, 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 Holder. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the
Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee (meeting the requirements of Section 7.10 hereof) at the expense of the Issuer.

 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal
of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee meeting the requirements of Section 7.10 hereof. 
 Notwithstanding
replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates 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 that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.

 SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. 
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirement of Trust Indenture Act §§ 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Trust Indenture
Act § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Issuer are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Trust Indenture Act
§ 310(b)(1) are met. The provisions of Trust Indenture Act § 310 shall apply to the Issuer and any other obligor of the Notes. 
  

 83 

 SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. 
 The Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, shall comply with Trust Indenture Act § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in
Trust Indenture Act § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act § 311(a) to the extent indicated. 
 ARTICLE EIGHT 
 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.01. Termination of the Issuer’s Obligations. 
 The Issuer may terminate its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture and the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees and this Indenture and this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect,
except those obligations referred to in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 8.01, if: 
 (1) all the Notes that
have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the
Issuer or discharged from this trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or 
 (2) (a) all Notes not
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation otherwise have become due and payable pursuant to an optional redemption notice or otherwise, or will become due and payable within one year, and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee funds in trust (to be held in accordance with Section 8.04 herein) sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness (including all principal and accrued interest) on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation, 
 (b) the Issuer has paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture, and 
 (c) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at
maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been complied with. 
 In the case of clause (2) of
this Section 8.01, and subject to the next sentence and notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 (as to legal existence of the Issuer only), 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06
hereof shall survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.08 hereof. After the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 hereof shall survive.

  

 84 

 After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the
discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above. 
 SECTION 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. 
 (a) The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have
either paragraph (b) or (c) below be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 hereof. 
 (b) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.02(a) hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02(b), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 8.03 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and the corresponding Note Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal
Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.04 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and
this Indenture and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have satisfied all of their obligations under the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (i)
the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section 8.04, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
such Notes when such payments are due; 
 (ii) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article Two and
Section 4.02 hereof; 
 (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (iv) the provisions of this Article Eight applicable to Legal
Defeasance. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02(b)
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.02(c) hereof. 
 (c) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph
(a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 hereof, be released from their respective obligations under the
covenants contained in Sections 4.03 (other than with respect to the legal existence of the Issuer), 4.04, 4.05 and 4.09 through 4.21, Section 5.01(a)(3) and Article Twelve hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 8.03 are 

  

 85 

 
satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any
direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that
such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in
respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision
herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In
addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 hereof, clauses (3), (5), (6) and (9) of
Section 6.01 hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 
 SECTION 8.03. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance. 
 The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02(b) or 8.02(c) hereof to the
outstanding Notes: 
 (1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, U.S.
Legal Tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without reinvestment), in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the Issuer, to pay the
principal of and interest on the Notes on the stated date for payment or on the Redemption Date of the principal or installment of principal of or interest on the Notes, 
 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States confirming
that: 
 (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service, a ruling, or

 (b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon this Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and, assuming no subsequent change in applicable law, will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred, 
 (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal 

  

 86 

 
income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and, assuming no subsequent change in applicable law, will be subject to U.S. federal income tax
on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Covenant Defeasance had not occurred, 
 (4) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit), 
 (5) the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under this Indenture
(other than any such Default or default resulting solely from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit), 
 (6)
the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by it with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other of its creditors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying
or defrauding any other of its creditors or others, and 
 (7) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the conditions provided for in, in the case of the Officers’ Certificate, clauses (1) through (6) and, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, clauses
(2) and/or (3) and (5) of this Section 8.03 have been complied with. 
 SECTION 8.04. Application of Trust Money.

 The Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this
Article Eight, and shall apply the deposited U.S. Legal Tender and the money from U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of the principal of and the interest on the Notes. The Trustee shall be under no
obligation to invest said U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations, except as it may agree with the Issuer. 
 The Issuer shall pay
and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.03 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof,
other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Anything in this
Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the Issuer’s request any U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.03 which,
in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an
equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
  

 87 

 SECTION 8.05. Repayment to the Issuer. 
 The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains
unclaimed for two years; provided that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any payment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or
mail to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains 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 Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another Person. 
 SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement. 
 If the
Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article Eight by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, or if the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Notes when due, the Issuer’s obligations
under this Indenture, and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Eight until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with this Article Eight; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of interest on, or principal of, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of
the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE NINE

 (9) release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary
from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except as permitted by this Indenture; or 
 (10) make
any change in Section 9.01 or 9.02 hereof. 
 (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (d) A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with an exchange (in the case of an exchange offer) or a tender (in the case of a tender offer) of such Holder’s Notes will not
be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange. 
 (e) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes
effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 SECTION 9.03. Compliance with the Trust Indenture Act. 
 From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, every amendment, waiver or supplement of this Indenture, the Notes or
the Note Guarantees shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in effect at the time of such amendment, waiver or supplement. 
  

 90 

 SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
 Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder
of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. 
 The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver, which record date shall be prior to the first
solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly 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. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 180 days after such record date. The Issuer shall inform the Trustee in writing of the fixed record date if applicable. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses
(1) through (10) of Section 9.02(b), in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder’s Note; 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 Note, on or after the respective due dates therefor, 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 Notes. 
 If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer may require the
Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Issuer shall provide the Trustee with an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and cause the Trustee to return it to the Holder at the Issuer’s expense. Alternatively, if
the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate, a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect
the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 SECTION 9.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc. 
 The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine; provided that the Trustee may, but shall
not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected 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. Such Opinion of Counsel shall be at
the expense of the Issuer. 
  

 91 

 ARTICLE TEN 
 NOTE GUARANTEE 
 SECTION 10.01. Unconditional Guarantee. 
 Subject to the provisions of this Article Ten, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each
Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer or any other Guarantors to
the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder: (a) (x) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon
redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise, (y) the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest, if any, on the Notes and (z) the due and punctual payment and
performance of all other obligations of the Issuer and all other obligations of the other Guarantors (including under the Note Guarantees), in each case, to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07 hereof), all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”); and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other
obligations, the due and punctual payment and performance of Guarantee Obligations in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due
of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Issuer to the Holders under this Indenture or under the Notes, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance
of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default under the Note Guarantees, and shall entitle the Holders of Notes to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors thereunder in the
same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Issuer. 
 Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder
shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof
or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Note Guarantee is affixed to any particular Note, or any other circumstance (other than payment or
performance of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Guarantors hereby waives the benefit of
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants
that its Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture and this Note Guarantee. This Note Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any Holder or
the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or to any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or such Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or such
Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees 

  

 92 

 
that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article Ten, the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration as against the Issuer or any other Guarantor
in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. 
 SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 
 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such
Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, foreign or state law to the extent applicable to any Note
Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this Article Ten shall be limited to the maximum amount as
will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including any and all guarantees under the Credit Facilities) that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to
receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article Ten, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each Guarantor that makes a payment for distribution under its Note Guarantee is entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the adjusted net assets of each Guarantor.

 SECTION 10.03. Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. 
 To further evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee,
substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Such Note Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by either manual or facsimile signature of one Officer
or other person duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of each Guarantor who shall have been duly authorized to so execute by all requisite corporate action. The validity and enforceability of any Note Guarantee shall not be affected by
the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Note. 
 Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in
Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. 
 If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which such Note Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such
Guarantor’s Note Guarantee of such Note shall nevertheless be valid. 
  

 93 

 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due
delivery of any Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor. 
 SECTION 10.04. Release of a Guarantor.

 A Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee and its obligations under this Indenture and the Registration
Rights Agreement: 
 (1) upon any sale, exchange or transfer, to any Person not a Subsidiary of the Issuer, of that number of
shares of the Issuer’s and each Restricted Subsidiary’s Equity Interests in such Restricted Subsidiary resulting in such Restricted Subsidiary no longer being a Subsidiary of the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture; or 
 (2) if such Guarantor is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or otherwise ceases to be
a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, upon effectiveness of such designation or when it first ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, respectively. 
 The Trustee shall execute an appropriate instrument prepared by the Issuer evidencing the release of a Guarantor from its obligations under its Note
Guarantee upon receipt of a request by the Issuer or such Guarantor accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this Section 10.04; provided, however, that the legal
counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officers’ Certificates of the Issuer. 
 Except
as set forth in Articles Four and Five and this Section 10.04, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor or shall prevent any
sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Guarantor. 
 SECTION 10.05. Waiver of Subrogation. 
 Until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Notes are discharged and paid in
full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Issuer’s
obligations under the Notes or this Indenture and such Guarantor’s obligations under this Note Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Holders against the Issuer, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right
to take or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other assets or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the
preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders of Notes under the Notes, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument delivered 

  

 94 

 
under or in connection with such agreements or instruments, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such
Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee
or the Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this
Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.05 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
 SECTION 10.06.
Immediate Payment. 
 Each Guarantor agrees to make immediate payment to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of all Guarantee
Obligations owing or payable to the respective Holders upon receipt of a demand for payment therefor (if then permitted pursuant to this Indenture) by the Trustee to such Guarantor in writing. 
 SECTION 10.07. No Setoff. 
 Each
payment to be made by a Guarantor hereunder in respect of the Guarantee Obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such Guarantee Obligations are denominated, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be made
without setoff, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 SECTION 10.08. Guarantee Obligations Absolute.

 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are and shall be absolute and unconditional and any monies or amounts expressed to be owing or
payable by each Guarantor hereunder which may not be recoverable from such Guarantor on the basis of a Note Guarantee shall be recoverable from such Guarantor as a primary obligor and principal debtor in respect thereof. 
 SECTION 10.09. Note Guarantee Obligations Continuing. 
 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all such obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. Each Guarantor agrees with the Trustee that it
will from time to time deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of this continued liability hereunder and under any other instrument or instruments in such form as counsel to the Trustee may advise and as will prevent any action brought
against it in respect of any default hereunder being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter in force and, in the event of the failure of a Guarantor so to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and agent of such
Guarantor to make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other instruments as may from time to time become necessary or advisable, in the judgment of the Trustee on the advice of counsel, to fully maintain and keep in
force the liability of such Guarantor hereunder. 
  

 95 

 SECTION 10.10. Note Guarantee Obligations Not Reduced. 
 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged solely by the payment of such principal, premium, if any,
interest, fees and other monies or amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article Eight be or become owing or payable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with the Notes or this Indenture. 

SECTION 10.11. Note Guarantee Obligations Reinstated. 
 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced the obligations of any Guarantor
hereunder (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Issuer or by or on behalf of a Guarantor) is rescinded or reclaimed from any of the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer or
any Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Issuer or any other Guarantor is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the
Issuer or such Guarantor, all such Indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor as provided herein. 
 SECTION 10.12. Note Guarantee Obligations Not Affected. 
 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any act, omission, matter or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment hereunder (and whether or not known or
consented to by any Guarantor or any of the Holders) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against any Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate any Guarantor from any of
its obligations hereunder or otherwise affect such obligations (other than payment or performance of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder), whether occasioned by default of any of the Holders or otherwise, including, without limitation:

 (a) any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to the Issuer or any other
Person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding involving or affecting the Issuer or any other Person; 
 (b) any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of the Issuer or any other
Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other document or instrument; 
 (c) any failure of the Issuer or any other
Guarantor, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee, or to give notice thereof to a Guarantor; 
  

 96 

 (d) the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or
exercise any right or remedy from or against the Issuer or any other Person or their respective assets or the release or discharge of any such right or remedy; 
 (e) the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the
Issuer or any other Person; 
 (f) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the
Notes, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the Notes or this Indenture, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of or premium, if
any, or interest on any of the Notes; 
 (g) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital
structure or constitution of the Issuer or a Guarantor; 
 (h) any merger or amalgamation of the Issuer or a Guarantor with
any Person or Persons; 
 (i) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction
by any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Guarantee Obligations or the obligations of a Guarantor
under its Note Guarantee; and 
 (j) any other circumstance, including release of a Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.04
(other than by complete, irrevocable payment or performance) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes or of a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee hereunder.

 SECTION 10.13. Waiver. 
 Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of any Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by the Holders upon the obligations
of any Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Issuer, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Guarantee Obligations, or other notice or formalities to the Issuer or any Guarantor of any kind
whatsoever. 
 SECTION 10.14. No Obligation To Take Action Against the Issuer. 
 Neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies against the Issuer or any other Person or
any property of the Issuer or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any or all Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under their Note Guarantees or under this Indenture. 
  

 97 

 SECTION 10.15. Dealing with the Issuer and Others. 
 The Holders, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor
hereunder and without the consent of or notice to any Guarantor, may 
 (a) grant time, renewals, extensions, compromises,
concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Issuer or any other Person; 
 (b) take or abstain
from taking security or collateral from the Issuer or from perfecting security or collateral of the Issuer; 
 (c) release,
discharge, compromise, realize, enforce or otherwise deal with or do any act or thing in respect of (with or without consideration) any and all collateral, mortgages or other security given by the Issuer or any third party with respect to the
obligations or matters contemplated by this Indenture or the Notes; 
 (d) accept compromises or arrangements from the Issuer;

 (e) apply all monies at any time received from the Issuer or from any security upon such part of the Guarantee Obligations
as the Holders may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Holders may see fit; and 
 (f) otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the Issuer and all other Persons and any security as the Holders or the Trustee may see fit. 
 SECTION 10.16. Default and Enforcement. 
 If any Guarantor fails to pay in accordance with Section 10.06 hereof, the Trustee may proceed in its name as trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the Note Guarantee of any such Guarantor and such Guarantor’s obligations
thereunder and hereunder by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from such Guarantor such obligations. 
 SECTION 10.17. Acknowledgment. 
 Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges communication of the terms of
this Indenture and the Notes and consents to and approves of the same. 
 SECTION 10.18. Costs and Expenses. 
 Each Guarantor shall pay on demand by the Trustee any and all reasonable costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees)
incurred by the Trustee, its agents, advisors and counsel or any of the Holders in enforcing any of their rights under any Note Guarantee. 
  

 98 

 SECTION 10.19. No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. 
 No Note Guarantee shall operate by way of merger of any of the obligations of a Guarantor under any other agreement, including, without limitation, this
Indenture. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges in the Note Guarantee and under this Indenture, the Notes and any other document or instrument between a Guarantor and/or the Issuer and the Trustee are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privilege provided
by law. 
 SECTION 10.20. Survival of Note Guarantee Obligations. 
 Without prejudice to the survival of any of the other obligations of each Guarantor hereunder, the obligations of each Guarantor under Section 10.01
shall survive the payment in full of the Guarantee Obligations and shall be enforceable against such Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without regard to and without giving effect to any defense (other than payment or performance of
the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder), right of offset or counterclaim available to or which may be asserted by the Issuer or any Guarantor. 
 SECTION 10.21. Note Guarantee in Addition to Other Guarantee Obligations. 
 The obligations of each Guarantor under its Note
Guarantee and this Indenture are in addition to and not in substitution for any other obligations to the Trustee or to any of the Holders in relation to this Indenture or the Notes and any guarantees or security at any time held by or for the
benefit of any of them. 
 SECTION 10.22. Severability. 
 Any provision of this Article Ten which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction unless its removal would substantially defeat the basic intent, spirit and purpose of this Indenture and this Article Ten. 
 SECTION 10.23. Successors and Assigns. 
 Each Note Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Guarantor and the Trustee and the other Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Guarantor may assign any of its obligations
hereunder or thereunder.

 (Reverse of Note) 
 9.75% Senior Notes due 2014 
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 SECTION 1. Interest. Seitel, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 9.75% per annum from February 15, 2007 until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, or
if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing August 15, 2007. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or,
if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance. The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand to
the extent lawful at the interest rate applicable to the Notes; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods)
from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 SECTION 2. Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 1 or August 1 next preceding the
Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be issued in
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender
for payment of public and private debts (“U.S. Legal Tender”). Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose except that, at the option of the
Issuer, the payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes; provided that for Holders that have given wire transfer instructions to the
Issuer at least ten Business Days prior to the applicable payment date, the Issuer will make all payments of principal, premium and interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Until
otherwise designated by the Issuer, the Issuer’s office or agency in the city of Chicago, Illinois will be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose. 
 SECTION 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, LaSalle Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar
without notice to any Holder. Except as provided in the Indenture, the Issuer or any of their Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 
 SECTION 4. Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of February [14], 2007 (the “Indenture”) by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those
stated in the Indenture and those made part of the 

  

 A-4 

 
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Trust Indenture Act”).
The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the
provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be binding. 
 SECTION 5. Optional Redemption. 
 (a) The Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 15, 2011. The Redemption Price for the Notes (expressed
as a percentage of principal amount) will be as follows, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on February 15 of any year set forth below: 
  

				
	 Year
	  	 Redemption
 Price
	 
	 2011
	  	104.875	%
	 2012
	  	102.438	%
	 2013 and thereafter
	  	100.000	%

 (b) At any time prior to February 15, 2011, the Notes may also be redeemed, by or on behalf of the
Issuer, in whole, or in part, at the Issuer’s option (a “Make-Whole Redemption”), at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued but unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if any, to, the date of redemption pursuant to such Make-Whole Redemption (the “Make-Whole Redemption Date”). 
 (c) At any time prior to February 15, 2010, the Issuer may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture with the net cash proceeds of one or more sales of
Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) of the Parent (to the extent such net cash proceeds have been contributed to the equity capital of the Issuer) at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of
109.75% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued on the Issue Date remains outstanding after each such
redemption and notice of any such redemption is mailed within 90 days of each such sale of Equity Interests. 
 SECTION 6. Notice of
Redemption. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than
$2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the Redemption Date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions
thereof called for redemption. 
  

 A-5 

 SECTION 7. No Mandatory Redemption. For the avoidance of doubt, an offer to purchase pursuant to
Section 8 hereof shall not be deemed a redemption. The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes. 
 SECTION 8. Repurchase at Option of Holder. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, and subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase all of the
outstanding Notes 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. 
 SECTION 9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be
registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any
taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer and the Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuer and the Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any
Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder
of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 SECTION 11. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any existing Default or compliance with any
provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes
to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the Indenture, provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to certificated notes, or comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the
Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or make any change that in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Issuer does not materially adversely effect the rights of any Holder. 
 SECTION 12. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes generally may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency as set forth in the
Indenture, with respect to the Issuer, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default
relating to the payment of principal or interest including an accelerated payment or the failure to make a payment on the Change of Control Payment Date or the Net Proceeds Payment Date pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer or a Default 

  

 A-6 

 
in complying with the provisions of Article Five of the Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in the payment of
interest on, or the principal of, or the premium on, the Notes. 
 SECTION 13. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture contains certain
covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries to make restricted payments, to incur indebtedness, to create liens, to sell assets, to permit restrictions on dividends and other payments by
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer, to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets or to engage in transactions with affiliates. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Issuer
must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations and other provisions in the Indenture. 
 SECTION 14. No Recourse
Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, member or manager of the Issuer or any Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Notes or the Indenture, or of any Guarantor under
its Note Guarantee or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of
the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
 SECTION 15. Note Guarantees. This Note will be entitled to the benefits of certain
Note Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.

 SECTION 16. Trustee Dealings with the Issuer. Subject to certain terms, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee. 
 SECTION 17. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

 SECTION 18. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants
in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entirety), 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). 
 SECTION 19. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. Pursuant to, but subject to the exceptions
in, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer and the Guarantors will be obligated to use their commercially reasonable efforts to consummate an exchange offer pursuant to which the Holder of this Note shall have the right to exchange this Note
for a 9.75% Senior Note due 2014 of the Issuer which shall have been registered under the Securities Act, in like principal amount and having terms identical in all material respects to this Note (except that such note shall not be entitled to
Additional Interest 

  

 A-7 

 
and shall not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions). The Holders shall be entitled to receive certain Additional Interest in the event such
exchange offer is not consummated or the Notes are not offered for resale and upon certain other conditions, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.a
 
 SECTION 20. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated
by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 
 SECTION 21. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 

The Issuer will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture.

“Notes”) of SEITEL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), we confirm that: 
 1. We
understand that any subsequent transfer of the Notes is subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Indenture relating to the Notes (the “Indenture”) and the undersigned agrees to be bound by, and not to resell,
pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes except in compliance with, such restrictions and conditions and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and all applicable state securities laws. 
 2. We understand that the offer and sale of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that the Notes may not be
offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should sell, offer, pledge or
otherwise transfer any Notes, we will do so only (i) to the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) inside the United States in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act to a person who we reasonably
believe to be a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (iii) inside the United States to an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined below) that is purchasing at least
$250,000 of Notes for its own account or for the account of an institutional accredited investor and who, prior to such transfer, furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf by a U.S. broker-dealer) to the Trustee (as defined in the Indenture) a
signed letter containing certain representations and agreements relating to the restrictions on transfer of the Notes (the form of which letter shall be substantially similar to this certificate) [and an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably
acceptable to the Issuer to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act], (iv) outside the United States to a person that is not a U.S. person (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) in accordance with
Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, (v) pursuant to the exemption from registration 

  

 C-1 

 
provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available) or another available exemption under the Securities Act or (vi) pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, and we further agree to provide to any person purchasing any of the Notes from us a notice advising such purchaser that resales of the Notes are restricted as stated herein. 
 3. We are not acquiring the Notes for or on behalf of, and will not transfer the Notes to, any pension or welfare plan (as defined in
Section 3 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended) or plan (as defined in Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), except as permitted in the section entitled “Transfer
Restrictions” of the Offering Memorandum. 
 4. We understand that, on any proposed resale of any Notes, we will be
required to furnish to the Trustee and the Issuer such certification, legal opinions and other information as the Trustee and the Issuer may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further
understand that the Notes purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect. 
 5. We are an institutional
“accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their investment, as the case may be. 
 6. We are acquiring the Notes purchased by us for our account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an institutional
“accredited investor”) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion. 
 You, as Trustee, the Issuer, counsel for the
Issuer and others are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered
hereby.
