 ARTICLE 1 

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE 

SECTION 1.01 Definitions. 

“Acquired Indebtedness” means, with respect to any specified Person, 

(1) Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is merged, consolidated or amalgamated with or into or became a
Restricted Subsidiary of such specified Person, including Indebtedness incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging, amalgamating or consolidating with or into, or becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of, such specified
Person, and 
 (2) Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person. 

Unless otherwise stated herein, Acquired Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been incurred, with respect to clause (1) of the preceding
sentence, on the date such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and, with respect to clause (2) of the preceding sentence, on the date of consummation of such acquisition of assets. 

“Additional Notes” means additional Notes (other than the Initial Notes) issued from time to time under this Indenture in
accordance with Section 2.01, Section 4.09 and Section 4.10, whether or not they bear the same CUSIP numbers. 

“Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means (without duplication), as of the date of determination, (1) the sum
of: 

 (a) the discounted future net revenues from Proved Reserves of the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines before any state or federal or foreign income taxes, as estimated in the reserve report prepared either as of the end of either the Company’s most recently completed
fiscal year (or, if such date of determination is within 45 days after the end of such most recently completed fiscal year and no reserve report as of the end of such fiscal year has as yet been prepared by the Company’s petroleum engineers,
the Company’s preceding fiscal year), or, at the Company’s option, the most recently completed fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available, which quarterly reserve report is prepared or audited by independent petroleum
engineers as to Proved Reserves accounting for at least 80% of all such discounted future net revenues and by the Company’s petroleum engineers with respect to any other Proved Reserves covered by such report, as increased by, as of the date of
determination, the estimated discounted future net revenues from: 
 (i) estimated Proved Reserves of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries acquired (including on the date of determination) since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, and 

(ii) estimated Proved Reserves of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries attributable to extensions, discoveries and other
additions and upward revisions of estimates of Proved Reserves (including previously estimated development costs incurred during the period and the accretion of discount since the prior period end) since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, due to exploration, development or exploitation, production or other activities which would, in accordance with standard industry practice, cause such revisions,

 and decreased by, as of the date of determination, the discounted future net revenue attributable to: 

(iii) estimated Proved Reserves of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries reflected in such
year-end or quarterly reserve report produced or disposed of (including on the date of determination) since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as
applicable, and 
 (iv) reductions in estimated Proved Reserves of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries reflected in
such year-end or quarterly reserve report since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report attributable to downward revisions of estimates of Proved Reserves
since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, due to changes in geological conditions or other factors which would, in accordance with standard industry practice, cause such
revisions; 
 in the case of the preceding clauses (i) through (iv), calculated on a pre-tax
basis in accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing the prices utilized in such Person’s year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable) and estimated by the Company’s petroleum engineers or any
independent petroleum engineers engaged by the Company for that purpose; 

  
 2 

 (b) the capitalized costs that are attributable to oil and gas properties of
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to which no Proved Reserves are attributable, based on the Company’s books and records as of a date no earlier than the last day of the Company’s most recent quarterly or annual period for which
internal financial statements are available; 
 (c) the Net Working Capital of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as
of a date no earlier than the last day of the Company’s most recent quarterly or annual period for which internal financial statements are available; and 

(d) (i) the greater of (A) the net book value, and (B) the fair market value of other tangible assets (including
Investments in unconsolidated Subsidiaries), and 
 (ii) restricted cash and notes receivable associated with asset
retirement obligations related to Oil and Gas Properties; 
 in each case, of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of a date no earlier than the
last day of the date of the Company’s most recent quarterly or annual period for which internal financial statements are available; provided that the Company shall not be required to obtain such an appraisal of any assets, 

minus, to the extent not otherwise taken into account in this clause (1), (2) the sum of: 

(a) any amount included in clauses (1)(a)(i) through (1)(a)(iv) above that is attributable to minority interests; 

(b) any net gas balancing liabilities of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the last day of the Company’s
most recent annual or quarterly period for which internal financial statements are available (to the extent not deducted in calculating Net Working Capital of the Company in accordance with clause (1)(c) above of this definition); 

(c) to the extent included in clause (1)(a) above, the discounted future net revenues, calculated on a pre-tax basis in accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing the prices and costs utilized in the applicable reserve report described in clause (1)(a)), attributable to reserves that are required to be delivered to
third parties to fully satisfy the obligations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to Volumetric Production Payments on the schedules specified with respect thereto, and 

(d) to the extent included in clause (1)(a) above, the discounted future net revenues, calculated on a pre-tax basis in accordance with SEC guidelines attributable to reserves subject to Dollar-Denominated Production Payments that, based on the estimates of production, price and cost assumptions included in
determining the discounted future net revenues specified in (1)(a) above, would be necessary to fully satisfy the payment obligations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to Dollar-Denominated Production Payments on the
schedules specified with respect thereto.

the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption,
guarantee, redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended Test Period
(and for all purposes, as if Indebtedness in the full amount of any undrawn Designated Revolving Commitments had been incurred thereunder throughout such period). 

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, any Specified Transaction that has been consummated by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary during any Test Period or subsequent to such Test Period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date will be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified
Transactions (and the change in any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in Consolidated EBITDAX resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the Test Period. If since the beginning of such Test Period any Person that
subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such Test Period will have made any Specified Transaction that would have required
adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such Test Period as if such Specified Transaction had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended
Test Period. 
 For purposes of this definition in this Indenture, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Specified
Transaction, the pro forma calculations will be made in good faith by a Financial Officer of the Company and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings,
operating expense reductions and synergies projected by the Company in 

  
 24 

 
good faith to result from or relating to any Specified Transaction (including acquisitions occurring prior to the Issue Date) which is being given pro forma effect that have been realized
or are expected to be realized and for which the actions necessary to realize such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies are taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (in the good
faith determination of the Company) no later than 18 months after the date of any such Specified Transaction (in each case as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized on the first day of the applicable
period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies were realized for the entirety of such period) and that are set forth in an Officer’s Certificate signed by the chief financial or accounting officer of such Person
that states (a) the amount of each such adjustment, (b) that such adjustments are based on the good faith of the Officer executed such Officer’s Certificate at the time of execution and (c) the factual basis on which such good
faith belief is made. For the purposes of this Indenture, “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken or with respect to which substantial steps

from such actions. 
 If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such
Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest
on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, will be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none,
then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may designate. Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to
be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma
basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. 
 “Fixed
Charges” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the sum of, without duplication:

Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuers and the Guarantors. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agent, or the holding by any Person of a Note, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Issuers and the Guarantors, if made in the manner provided in this

 63 

 (e) The Issuers may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders

such record date. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuers, at their own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the
Trustee in writing and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.02.

Section 6.05 or (4) any request to pursue a remedy as permitted in Section 6.06. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice,
declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes or each affected Holder, as applicable, on such record date. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Issuers’ expense, shall cause notice of such
record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to Issuers and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.02. 

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to
all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice given or action taken by a Holder
or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part.

notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders; provided that if such a record date is fixed, only the beneficial owners of interests in such Global Note on such record date or their
duly appointed proxy or proxies shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such beneficial owners remain beneficial owners of interests in such
Global Note after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date. 

(j) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.04, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day
as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the
other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 12.02, on or prior to both the existing and the new Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set

made, a part of this Indenture, and the Issuers, 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 conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 The Notes
shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuers pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer as provided in Section 4.15 or a Change of Control Offer as provided in Section 4.14, and otherwise as not prohibited by this Indenture. The Notes shall not be
redeemable, other than as provided in Article 3. 
 Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes may be created and
issued from time to time by the Issuers without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes; provided, however, a separate CUSIP or ISIN will be issued for Additional
Notes, if the Notes and Additional Notes are not treated as fungible for U.S. federal income tax or other purposes; provided, further that the Issuers’ ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Issuers’ compliance
with Sections 4.09 and 4.10. Additional Notes that differ with respect to maturity date, interest rate, optional redemption provisions from the Initial Notes will constitute a different series from the Initial Notes. Additional Notes that have the
same maturity date, interest rate, optional redemption provisions or other provisions as the Initial Notes will be treated as the same series as the Initial Notes unless otherwise designated by the Issuers. Any Additional Notes shall be issued with
the benefit of an indenture supplemental to this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.02 Execution and Authentication  

(a) At least one Officer of each Issuer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Issuers by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose
signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. 
 (b) A Note
shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee.
The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 
 (c) On the Issue
Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuers signed by an Officer of each Issuer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time and from time to time, the
Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued hereunder. 

(d) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders, the Issuers or an Affiliate
of the Issuers. 

  
 66 

 (e) The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon receipt of an
Authentication Order (a) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $325,000,000, (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes and (c) any Unrestricted Global Notes issued in
exchange for any of the foregoing in accordance with this Indenture. Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which such Notes are to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes, Additional
Notes or other Unrestricted Global Notes. 
 SECTION 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

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

SECTION 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Issuers shall, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest
on any of the Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held in trust for the Holders entitled to the same, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee of
its action or failure so to act. The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held
by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money. If either Issuer, the Company or a
Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuers, the Trustee shall
serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. To the extent the Paying Agent receives any amounts pursuant to this Section 2.04 and such amounts are remitted to the Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have no further obligation with respect
thereto. 

  
 67 

 SECTION 2.05 Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such
date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders. 
 SECTION 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and
in compliance with Appendix A. 
 (b) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request. 

(c) No service charge shall be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange (other than pursuant to Section 2.07),
but the Holders shall be required to pay any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10,
3.06, 4.14, 4.15 and 9.04). 
 (d) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes
or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuers, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 (e) Neither the Issuers nor the Registrar shall be required (1) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note during
a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (2) to register the transfer of or to exchange
any Note so selected for redemption, or tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or
repurchased in part or (3) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

(f) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuers may deem and treat the
Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, and (subject to the Record Date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes and for all other
purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuers shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 68 

 (g) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the
Issuers designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or
denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 (h) At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any
authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Registrar or such other agency or office specified by the Issuers. Whenever any Global
Notes or Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance
with the provisions of Appendix A. 
 (i) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar
pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by mail or by facsimile or electronic transmission. 

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

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

  
 69 

 (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New
York. 
 (c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it
ceases to accrue from and after the date of such payment. 
 (d) If a Paying Agent (other than the Issuers, the Company, a Restricted
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on the maturity date, any Redemption Date or any date of purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, money sufficient to pay Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date, then on and
after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 
 SECTION 2.09 Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes
beneficially owned by either Issuer or the Company, or by any Affiliate of any of them, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Company or any obligor
upon the Notes or any Affiliate of any of them or of such other obligor. 
 SECTION 2.10 Temporary Notes. 

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall
authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without
unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits
accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.11 Cancellation. 

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

  
 70 

 SECTION 2.12 Defaulted Interest. 

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

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

SECTION 2.13 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers 

The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP or ISIN
numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or
as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase shall not be
affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuers shall as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

any time, the Trustee shall, upon prior written request of the Issuers, select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased (1) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national
securities exchange on which the Notes are listed or (2) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion
deems to be fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than ten nor more than 60 days prior to the
redemption date by the Trustee from the then outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase (or, in the case of Global Notes, the Notes represented thereby will be selected in accordance with the Depositary’s prescribed
method), and in any case in accordance with the Depositary procedures to the extent applicable. 
 (b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in
amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000; provided that no Notes of $2,000 in principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called
for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 
 (c) After the redemption date or purchase
date, upon surrender of a Note to be redeemed or purchased in part only, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the original Note, representing the same Indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or
not purchased, shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate book entries shall be made to reflect such partial redemption. 

SECTION 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

(a) Subject to Section 3.07, the Issuers shall mail by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or deliver by electronic transmission in
accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or cause to be mailed (or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) notices of redemption of Notes at least ten but not more than
60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed 

  
 72 

 
pursuant to this Article at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be delivered more
than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11. Except as set forth under Section 3.07(g), notices of redemption may not be conditional. 

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

(1) the redemption date; 

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

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

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

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

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

(7) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption
are being redeemed; 
 (8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if
any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 
 (9) if applicable, any condition to such redemption. 

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

  
 73 

 SECTION 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is given in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the
Redemption Date at the redemption price (except as provided for in Section 3.07(g)). The notice, if mailed or delivered by electronic transmission in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not
the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any
other Note. Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. 

SECTION 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

(a) No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase date (or such later time as such date to which the Trustee may
reasonably agree), the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. If a Note is
redeemed or purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Holder of record on such Record Date. The Paying Agent shall promptly send to each Holder
whose Notes are to be redeemed or repurchased the applicable redemption or purchase price thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or
the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

(b) If the Issuers comply with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease to
accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption
or purchase date in respect of such Note will be paid on such redemption or purchase date to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase shall not be so
paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with Section 3.05(a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and, to the
extent lawful, on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. 

SECTION 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the
Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to the Holder (or cause to be transferred by book entry) at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing
the same Indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this
Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note. 

  
 74 

 SECTION 3.07 Optional Redemption. 

(a) Except pursuant to clause (b), (c) or (e) of this Section 3.07, the Notes shall not be redeemable at the Issuers’ option
prior to February 15, 2020. 
 (b) At any time prior to February 15, 2020, the Issuers may, at their option and on one or more
occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Additional Notes issued under this Indenture with an amount equal to or less than the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings to the extent such net cash proceeds
are received by, or contributed to the Company at a redemption price (as calculated by the Issuer) equal to the sum of (1) 111.000% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but
excluding, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date; provided that (a) at least
65% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture after the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each
such redemption and (b) each such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of closing of the applicable Equity Offering or contribution. 

(c) At any time prior to February 15, 2020, the Issuers may at their option on one or more occasions redeem all or a portion of the Notes,
upon notice as described in Section 3.03, at a redemption price (as calculated by the Issuers) equal to the sum of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus (2) the Applicable Premium, plus (3) accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

(d) On and after February 15, 2020, the Issuers may at their option redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, on one or more occasions, upon
notice as described in Section 3.03, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date,
subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on February 15 of the
years indicated below:

	  	 	108.250	% 
	 2021
	  	 	104.125	% 
	 2022 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (e) In connection with any Change of Control Offer, if Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes validly tender and do not validly withdraw such Notes in such Change of Control Offer and the Issuers purchase, or any third party making such Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuers purchases, all of the
Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party will have the right upon notice, given not more than 60 days following such purchase date, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such
purchase at the Change of Control Payment, plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the
relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). 

  
 75 

 (f) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06. 
 (g) Any notice of redemption made in connection with a related transaction or event (including
an Equity Offering, contribution, Change of Control, Asset Sale or other transaction) may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuers’
discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the completion or occurrence of the related transaction or event, as the case may be. The Issuers may redeem Notes pursuant to one or more of the relevant
provisions in this Indenture, and a single notice of redemption may be delivered with respect to redemptions made pursuant to different provisions. Any such notice may provide that redemptions made pursuant to different provisions will have
different Redemption Dates. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will describe each such condition, and if applicable, will state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the
Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Issuers
in their sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions are not satisfied (or waived by the Issuers in their sole discretion) by the Redemption Date, or by the
Redemption Date as so delayed, or that such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuers’ discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuers any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuers may provide in
such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. If any Notes are listed on an exchange, and the rules of the exchange so require,
the Issuers will notify the exchange of any such redemption and the principal amount of any Notes outstanding following any partial redemption of such Notes. 

(h) In no event will the Trustee be responsible for monitoring, or charged with knowledge of, the maximum aggregate amount of Notes eligible
under this Indenture to be redeemed. Notes will remain outstanding until redeemed, notwithstanding that they have been called for redemption or are subject to a notice of redemption. 

SECTION 3.08 Mandatory Redemption. 

The Issuers will not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

whether at the time of incurrence or upon the application of all or a portion of the proceeds thereof or subsequently, meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described
in clauses (1) through (31) of Section 4.09(b) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, may divide and classify and may subsequently
re-divide and reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified
Stock or Preferred Stock (or a portion thereof) in this Section 4.09(b) or under Section 4.09(a); provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility on the Issue Date will, at all times, be treated as
incurred on the Issue Date under clause (1) of the second paragraph above and may not be reclassified; 
 (2) the
Company is entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in more than one of the types of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in the first and second paragraphs above,
subject to the proviso to Section 4.09(c)(1); 
 (3) the principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under any clause
of this Section 4.09 will be determined after giving effect to the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any such other Indebtedness; 

(4) guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that are otherwise included in the
determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness will not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may
be, was incurred in compliance with this caption; and 
 (5) for purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.09(a)
or clause (1), (12) or (14)(A) of Section 4.09(b) in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness under Designated Revolving Commitments, such compliance shall be determined on the date such Designated Revolving Commitments are
established after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of the entire committed amount of Indebtedness thereunder, in which case such committed amount under such Designated Revolving Commitments may thereafter be borrowed and reborrowed,
in whole or in part, from time to time, without further compliance with such paragraph or clause. 

  
 100 

 (d) Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or
amortization of original issue discount, and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, the reclassification of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock as Indebtedness due to
change in accounting principles and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies, will, in each case, not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09. Any Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, to refinance Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, pursuant
to Section 4.09(a) or pursuant to clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (12), (13), (14) and (28) of Section 4.09(b) will be permitted to include additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred to pay (I) any
accrued and unpaid interest on the Indebtedness, any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Disqualified Stock being so refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased and
(II) the amount of any tender premium or penalty or premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument or documents governing such refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and any defeasance costs and any fees
and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or
defeasance of such refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock (and, with respect to Indebtedness under Designated Revolving Commitments, will be permitted to include an amount equal to any unutilized Designated Revolving
Commitments being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased to the extent permanently terminated at the time of incurrence of such Refinancing Indebtedness). 

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness, liquidation preference of Disqualified Stock or amount of Preferred Stock denominated in a foreign currency will be calculated based on the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock was incurred or issued (or, in the case of revolving credit debt, the date such Indebtedness was first committed or first incurred (whichever
yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent)); provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued to refinance other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, denominated in
a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock does not exceed (1) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, the liquidation
preference of such Disqualified Stock or the amount of such Preferred Stock (as applicable) being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased plus (2) any accrued and unpaid interest on the Indebtedness, any accrued and unpaid
dividends on the Preferred Stock and any accrued and 

  
 101 

 
unpaid dividends on the Disqualified Stock being so refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased plus (3) the amount of any tender premium or penalty or premium required to
be paid under the terms of the instrument or documents governing such refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and any defeasance costs and any fees and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees)
incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance of such refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified
Stock (and, with respect to Indebtedness under Designated Revolving Commitments, will be permitted to include an amount equal to any unutilized Designated Revolving Commitments being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased to
the extent permanently terminated at the time of incurrence of such Refinancing Indebtedness). 
 (f) The principal amount of any
Indebtedness incurred or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued to refinance other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, if incurred or issued in a different currency from the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock,
as applicable, being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is denominated that is in effect on the date of such
refinancing. The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date will be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance
sheet of the Company dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP. 
 (g) The Issuers will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to,
directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuers or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is contractually subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuers or such Guarantor, as the case may be. 

(h) This Indenture will not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is
unsecured, (2) Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other Indebtedness merely because it is issued or guaranteed by other obligors or (3) Secured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other Secured Indebtedness merely
because it has a junior priority lien with respect to the same collateral. 
 (i) If any Indebtedness is incurred, or Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock is issued, in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, and any refinancing thereof would cause the percentage of Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets to be exceeded
if calculated based on the Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets on the date of such refinancing, such percentage of Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets will not be deemed to be exceeded to the extent the principal amount of such newly
incurred Indebtedness, the liquidation preference of such newly issued Disqualified Stock or the amount of such newly issued Preferred Stock does not exceed the sum of (i) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, the liquidation preference of
such Disqualified Stock or the amount of such Preferred Stock being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, 

  
 102 

 
renewed or defeased plus (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest on the Indebtedness, any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends on the
Disqualified Stock being so refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased plus (iii) the amount of any tender premium or penalty or premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument or documents governing such
refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and any defeasance costs and any fees and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness,
Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance of such refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock (and, with respect to Indebtedness under Designated Revolving
Commitments, will be permitted to include an amount equal to any unutilized Designated Revolving Commitments being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased to the extent permanently terminated at the time of incurrence of such
Refinancing Indebtedness). 
 SECTION 4.10 Limitation on Liens. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur or assume any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that
secures Obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee of Indebtedness, on any asset or property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom.

 (b) If the Company, the Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, directly or indirectly, creates, incurs or assumes any Lien securing
the First Lien Obligations or any other Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations (in each case, a “Predecessor Lien”), the Company, the Issuers or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall, as promptly as practicable following the
creation, incurrence or assumption of the Predecessor Lien, grant at least a second-priority Lien, subject to Permitted Liens, upon such property or assets as security for the Notes and the Guarantees for so long as such Predecessor Lien remains
outstanding. 
 (c) Any First Lien Obligations may only be secured by a first-priority Lien, and any Permitted Additional Pari Passu
Obligations may only be secured by a second-priority Lien. The Company, the Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors may not, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien on the Collateral securing Indebtedness which Lien ranks senior
or pari passu with the Liens securing the Notes other than a first-priority Lien or a second-priority Lien. 
 (d) For purposes of
determining compliance with Section 4.10, (A) a Lien need not be incurred solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens described in the definition thereof but is permitted to be incurred in part under any combination thereof and of
any other available exemption and (B) in the event that a Lien (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted Liens, the Company will, in its sole discretion, be entitled to divide, classify or
reclassify, in whole or in part, any such Lien (or any portion thereof) among one or more of such categories or clauses in any manner. 
 (e)
The expansion of Liens by virtue of accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of dividends or interest in the form of Indebtedness and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in
the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Liens for purposes of this Section 4.10. 

  
 103 

 SECTION 4.11 Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Issuers will cause each Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than the Issuers) that incurs or guarantees (or otherwise
becomes liable for) (i) Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility or (ii) Indebtedness under any Debt Facility in excess of the De Minimis Amount to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the
form of which is attached as Exhibit C, within 30 days of the date on which it is required to become a Guarantor, pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will irrevocably and unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the
full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Notes on a senior basis and all other Obligations under this Indenture and grant Liens on its assets constituting Collateral as set forth under
Section 13.13 herein, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuers or any Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, any
such guarantee by such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness will be subordinated in right of payment to such guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes.. 

(b) The Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor to become a
Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary will not be required to comply with clause (1) or (2) of this Section 4.11 and such Guarantee may be released at any time in the Company’s sole discretion 

(c) Each Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06. 

SECTION 4.12 Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose
of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company
(each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless: 

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms, taken as a whole, that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the
relevant Restricted Subsidiaries than those that would have been obtained at such time in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with a Person other than an Affiliate of the Company on an
arm’s-length basis or, if in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction, such Affiliate Transaction is
otherwise fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; and

(22) any encumbrance or restriction contained in agreements governing or relating to reserves that are the subject of any
Production Payment or Reserve Sale; and 
 (23) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendments, modifications,
restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (1) through (22) above; provided that such amendments, modifications,
restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the 

  
 111 

 
good faith judgment of the Company, no more restrictive in any material respect with respect to such encumbrance and other restrictions, taken as a whole, than those prior to such amendment,
modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing; any encumbrance or restriction existing under, by reason of or with respect to Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, further, that the encumbrances
and restrictions contained in the agreements governing that Refinancing Indebtedness are, in the good faith judgment of the Company, not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness
being refinanced. 
 In each case set forth above, notwithstanding any stated limitation on the assets or property that may be subject to
such encumbrance or restriction, an encumbrance or restriction on a specified asset or property or group or type of assets or property may also apply to all improvements, additions, repairs, attachments and accessions thereto, construction thereon,
assets and property affixed or appurtenant thereto, parts, replacements and substitutions therefor and all products and proceeds thereof, including dividends, distributions, interest and increases in respect thereof. 

SECTION 4.14 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuers have previously or concurrently electronically delivered or mailed a redemption notice
with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described in Section 3.07 or Section 11.01, the Issuers will make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at
a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase, subject to the right of Holders of record
on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date prior to such repurchase. Within 60 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers will send notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically or by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, with the following information: 

(1) a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to Section 4.14 and all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such
Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuers; 
 (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which
will be no earlier than 20 Business Days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or otherwise delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), subject to extension (in the case where such notice is mailed or
otherwise delivered prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control) in the event that the occurrence of the Change of Control is delayed; 

(3) any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest; 

  
 112 

 (4) unless the Issuers default in the payment of the Change of Control
Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(5) Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such
Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice or otherwise in accordance with Depositary procedures, prior to the close
of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (6) Holders will be entitled to
withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuers to purchase such Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the expiration date of the
Change of Control Offer, a facsimile transmission or letter or other notice in accordance with Depositary procedures setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is
withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased; 
 (7) Holders whose Notes are being purchased
only in part will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that the unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to at least $2,000 or any
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; 
 (8) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of
Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control and describing each such condition, and, if applicable, stating that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date
may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Issuers in their sole discretion), or
such purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions are not satisfied (or waived by the Issuers in their sole discretion) by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control
Payment Date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuers any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuers may provide in such
notice that payment of the purchase price and performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such purchase may be performed by another Person; and 

(9) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuers, consistent with this Section 4.14, that a Holder must follow in
order to have its Notes repurchased. 
 (b) The Issuers will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes by the Issuers pursuant to a
Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to
have breached their obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. 

  
 113 

 (c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers will, to the extent permitted by law:

 (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or
portions thereof validly tendered and not validly withdrawn; and 
 (3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee
(a) an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuers and (b) at the Issuers’ option, the Notes so accepted for cancellation. 

(d) The Issuers will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of
Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn
under such Change of Control Offer. 
 (e) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control and conditional upon such
Change of Control if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. 

(f) A Change of Control Offer may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of this
Indenture, Notes and/or Guarantees (but the Change of Control Offer may not condition tenders on the delivery of such consents). 
 SECTION 4.15
Asset Sales. 
 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless:

 (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration (including by way of relief
from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, in connection with such Asset Sale) at least equal to the fair market value (measured at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of
the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and 
 (2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the
consideration for such Asset Sale, together with all other Asset Sales since the Issue Date (on a cumulative basis), received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided
that each of the following will be deemed to be cash or Cash Equivalents for purposes of this clause (2): 

  
 114 

 (A) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or any Restricted
Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the Notes thereto or, if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the Company’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s
consolidated balance sheet or in the Notes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in good faith by the Company) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than
liabilities that are by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Notes, that are (i) assumed by the transferee of any such assets (or a third party in connection with such transfer) or
(ii) otherwise cancelled or terminated in connection with the transaction with such transferee (other than intercompany debt owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary); 

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary from such
transferee or in connection with such Asset Sale (including earnouts and similar obligations) that are converted by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for cash or Cash
Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale; 

(C) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding,
not to exceed 5.0% of Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured, at the Company’s option, either at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale or at the time received and, in either case, without giving effect to subsequent
changes in value; 
 (D) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of
such Asset Sale (other than intercompany debt owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), to the extent that the Company and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of payment of the principal amount of such
Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale; 
 (E) any Investment, Capital Stock, assets, property or capital or other
expenditure of the kind referred to in Section 4.15(b)(2); and 

  
 115 

 (F) with respect to any Asset Sale of Oil and Gas Properties disposed of by
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary retains an interest, the costs and expenses related to the exploration, development, completion or production of such Oil and Gas Properties and activities
related thereto agreed to be assumed by the transferee (or an Affiliate thereof). 
 (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net
Proceeds of any Asset Sale (as may be extended pursuant to clause (2) below, the “Asset Sale Proceeds Application Period”), the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply an amount equal to the Net Proceeds
from such Asset Sale: 
 (1) (a) if the Asset Sale is a disposition of Collateral, to repay, prepay, redeem or repurchase
First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations (provided that with respect to Second Lien Obligations, such repayment, prepayment, redemption or repurchase must be made either by a pro rata redemption or repayment of outstanding Second Lien
Obligations (including the Notes) or by an offer to purchase on a pro rata basis made to all holders of Second Lien Obligations (including Holders of the Notes)); (b) if the Asset Sale is not a disposition of Collateral, to repay, prepay, redeem or
repurchase Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (c) to repay, prepay, redeem or repurchase Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that does not Guarantee the Notes, so long as the relevant assets were assets of
such Subsidiary; 
 (2) to make (a) capital expenditures, (b) other expenditures made with respect to Oil and Gas
Properties, (c) acquisitions by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of properties (including fee and leasehold interests) or Capital Stock of businesses or entities or (d) acquisitions by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of
other assets, other than securities and other than assets classified as current assets under GAAP, in the case of clause (c) and this clause (d), either (i) that are or will be used or useful in the Oil and Gas Business or (ii) that
replace, in whole or in part, the properties or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; provided that in the case of this clause (2), a binding commitment will be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of
such commitment so long as the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (or, if later, 365
days after the receipt of such Net Proceeds); provided, further, that if any such commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds will constitute Excess Proceeds;
provided, further, that the assets acquired (including Equity Interests) with the Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale of Collateral are pledged as Collateral to the extent required under the Security Documents and in accordance with this
Indenture substantially simultaneously with such acquisition and perfected within the time frames required by the applicable Security Documents; or 

(3) any combination of the foregoing. 

  
 116 

 (c) The amount equal to the Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not invested or applied
as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.15(b) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Issuers will make an offer (an
“Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders and (i) in respect of Excess Proceeds of an Asset Sale of Collateral, if required by the terms of any Second Lien Obligations, to the holders of such Second Lien Obligations, and (ii) in
respect of other Excess Proceeds, at the option of the Issuers, to any holders of any Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), in each case to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the
Notes and such other Indebtedness that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price, in the case of the Notes, in cash in an
amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or, in respect of such other Indebtedness, such other price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms thereof),
to, but excluding, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture (or, in respect of such other Indebtedness, the agreement or instrument governing the terms thereof). 

(d) The Issuers will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within 30 days after the date that the amount of Excess
Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million by mailing or electronically delivering the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee, or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. The Issuers may
satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an offer to purchase Notes with respect to the amount of all or part of the available Net Proceeds (the “Advance Portion”) prior to the
expiration of the Asset Sale Proceeds Application Period with respect to the amount of all or a part of the available Net Proceeds in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture (the “Advance Offer”). 

To the extent that the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Notes, such Second Lien Obligations and such Pari
Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use any remaining Excess Proceeds (or in the case
of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Notes, Second Lien Obligations and/or the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered in an
Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased in the manner described in Section 3.02 and the Issuers will select such Second
Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased pursuant to the terms of such Second Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness; provided that as between the Notes, any Second Lien Obligations and any Pari Passu Indebtedness,
such purchases will be made on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes, such Second Lien Obligations or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered with adjustments as necessary so that no Notes, Second Lien
Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness will be repurchased in part in an unauthorized denomination. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, for purposes of this provision the amount of Excess Proceeds (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the
Advance Portion) that resulted in the Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer will be reset to zero (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds (or Advance Portion) upon such completion). An Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer may be made
at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture, Notes and/or Guarantees (but the Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer may not condition tenders on the delivery of such consents). 

  
 117 

 To the extent that any portion of Net Proceeds payable in respect of the Notes is
denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the amount thereof payable in respect of the Notes shall not exceed the net amount of funds in U.S. dollars that is actually received by the Issuer upon converting such portion into U.S. dollars.

 Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.15, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net
Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Section 4.15, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sales by a Foreign Subsidiary after the Issue Date (a “Foreign Disposition”) is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being
repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 4.15, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so
long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Issuers hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts (as determined in the Issuer’s reasonable business judgment) to otherwise cause the applicable Foreign
Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law, applicable organizational impediments or other impediment to permit such repatriation), and if such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is
permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation could be made) applied (net of
additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) (whether or not repatriation actually occurs) in compliance with this Section 4.15 and (ii) to the extent that the Issuers have determined in good faith that repatriation of
any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition would have a material adverse tax cost consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net
Proceeds (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any prepayment whereby doing so the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective affiliates and/or equity partners would incur a tax liability, including
as a result of a dividend or a deemed dividend pursuant to Code Section 956, or a withholding tax), the Net Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that when the Issuers determine in good faith
that repatriation of any of such Net Proceeds would no longer have a material adverse tax cost consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation), such amount at such time shall
no longer be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default
or an Event of Default. 
 (f) The Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to
the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Asset Sale Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Asset Sale Offer Period (the “Asset Sale Purchase Date”),
the Issuers will apply all Excess 

  
 118 

 
Proceeds to the purchase of the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) required to be purchased pursuant to
this Section 4.15 (the “Asset Sale Offer Amount”), or, if less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount of Notes (and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness) has been so validly tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness validly
tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments on the Notes are made. 

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

(h) The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities
laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

 SECTION 4.16 Real Estate Mortgages and Filings. 

With respect to any fee interest in any real property that constitutes Second Lien Collateral (the “Mortgaged Property”), the
Issuers and/or the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Collateral Agent each of the following items, within 60 days of the Issue Date or, with respect to any Mortgaged Property acquired by the Issuers or any
Guarantors after the Issuer Date, within 60 days of the date of acquisition thereof: 
 (1) fully executed counterparts of
Mortgages, each dated within 60 days after the Issue Date or the date of acquisition of such property, as the case may be, duly executed by the applicable Issuer or Guarantor, together with evidence of the completion (or satisfactory arrangements
for the completion), of all recordings and filings of such Mortgage as may be necessary to create a valid, perfected Lien, with the priority required by this Indenture and the Security Documents, subject to Permitted Liens, against the properties
purported to be covered thereby; and 
 (2) such further information, opinions, certificates, instruments and documents
evidencing or relating to the Mortgaged Property or required to effect the foregoing including, without limitation, any information, certificates, opinions, instruments and documents substantially similar in form and substance to those delivered to
the administrative agent under the Revolving Credit Facility in connection with such Mortgaged Property. 

  
 119 

 SECTION 4.17 Effectiveness of Covenants. 

(a) During any period of time that (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event” and the date thereof
being referred to as the “Suspension Date”), the Guarantees will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged (subject to reinstatement as described in Section 4.17(f)) and the Company and the Restricted
Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 4.08, 4.09, 4.11 (but only with respect to any Person that is required to become a Guarantor after the date of the commencement of the applicable Suspension Date) 4.12, 4.13 and 4.15 and 5.01 (but only
with respect to clause (1)(D) of Section 5.01(a) and (c))(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). 
 (b) In the event
that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) the Notes no
longer have an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date
and the Reversion Date is referred to in this Indenture as the “Suspension Period.” 
 (c) During a Suspension Period, the
Company may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the second sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” 

(d) The Guarantees of the Guarantors other than the Company will be suspended during the Suspension Period; provided that if any
Restricted Subsidiary guarantees the payment of any Indebtedness of an Issuer or any Guarantor incurred subsequent to the Suspension Date, then the Company will cause such Restricted Subsidiary to become a Guarantor in accordance with
Section 4.09 to the extent required by the terms of such covenant if it were then in effect. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds will be reset to zero for purposes of
Section 4.15. 
 (e) In the event a Reversion Date occurs, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary or events occurring prior to the Reversion Date with respect to any of the Suspended Covenants will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that 

(1) with respect to Restricted Payments made after the Reversion Date, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be
calculated as though the Section 4.08 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period; accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments
under Section 4.08(a); 
 (2) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the
Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(3); 
 (3) any
Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period will be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section 4.12(b)(6); 

  
 120 

 (4) any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted
Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to take any action described in Section 4.13(a) that becomes effective during any Suspension Period will be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section 4.13(b)(1); 

(5) no Subsidiary of the Company will be required to comply with Section 4.11 after the Reversion Date with respect to any
guarantee entered into by such Subsidiary during any Suspension Period; 
 (6) all Liens permitted to be created, incurred or
assumed during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that they are classified as permitted under clause (9) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”; and 

(7) all Investments made during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that they
are classified as Permitted Investments permitted under clause (5) of the definition of “Permitted Investments.” 
 (f)
Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated after the Reversion Date, (1) no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind will be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the
Suspended Covenants, and none of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will bear any liability for any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual
obligation arising during a Suspension Period, in each case, as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or, upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time, based on any action taken or
event that occurred during the Suspension Period) and (2) following a Reversion Date, the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted, without causing a Default or Event of Default, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any
contractual commitments or obligations arising during any Suspension Period that were permitted to be entered into at such time and to consummate any transactions contemplated thereby. 

(g) During the Suspension Period, the Guarantees of the Guarantors other than the Company will be automatically and unconditionally released
and discharged and the obligation to grant further Guarantees will be suspended. Upon the Reversion Date, the obligation to grant Guarantees pursuant to the Section 4.11 will be reinstated (and the Reversion Date will be deemed to be the date
on which any guaranteed Indebtedness was incurred for purposes of Section 4.11). 
 (h) The Trustee shall have no duty to
(i) monitor the ratings of the Notes, (ii) determine whether a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date has occurred or (iii) notify Holders of any of the foregoing. 

(i) The Company shall send written notice to the Trustee upon the commencement of any Suspension Period or the occurrence of any Reversion
Date; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Trustee shall not be a default under this Indenture. 

  
 121 

 SECTION 4.18 Limitation on Activities of
Co-Issuer. 
 The Co-Issuer may not hold any
material assets, become liable for any material obligations, engage in any trade or business, or conduct any business activity, other than (1) the issuance of its Capital Stock to the Company or any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company, (2) the incurrence of Indebtedness as a co-obligor or guarantor, as the case may be, of the Notes, any Debt Facility and any other Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred under
Section 4.09 and (3) activities incidental thereto.

Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets. 
 (a) Neither the Issuer nor the
Co-Issuer may consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Issuer or the Co-Issuer is the surviving Person), or sell, assign,
transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless: 

(1) (A) the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, is the surviving Person or the

(B) the Successor Issuer, if other than the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable,
expressly assumes all the obligations of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, under the Notes and the Security Documents pursuant to supplemental indentures or other customary documents or instruments;

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

(D) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions, as if such
transactions had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended Test Period, either: 
 (1) the Issuer (or Successor Issuer, as
applicable) would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a)” or 

(2) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such transaction;

 125 

 (A) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of
such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the
holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its Stated Maturity; and

 (6) (i) the Company, the Issuers or a Significant Subsidiary or any group

Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Company made available to the Holders), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; 

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 

(7) the Guarantee of the Company or of any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that taken together

Indenture or be declared null and void in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or any Financial Officer of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the responsible
officers of any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that taken together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Company made available to the Holders) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), as the case may be, denies in writing

(8) (a) any Security Document ceases to be in full force and effect (except as permitted by the terms of this Indenture or the
Security Documents) for a period of 30 days after the Issuers or any Guarantor receives notice thereof, (b) any of the Security Documents ceases to give the Holders a valid, perfected security interest (except

fails to grant and perfect any security interest required by the Security Documents to be so granted and perfected, in each case with respect to Collateral having a fair market value in excess of $25.0 million in the aggregate with respect to
clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 6.01(a)(8). 
 SECTION 6.02 Acceleration. 

(a) If any Event of Default (other than of a type specified in Section 6.01(a)(6) with respect to either Issuer) occurs and is continuing
under this Indenture, the Trustee by written notice to the Issuers or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee may declare the principal, premium, if any,
interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal of and premium, if any, and interest will be due and payable immediately.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under Section 6.01(a)(6) with respect to the Issuer, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. The Trustee may withhold from the
Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withholding the notice is in their interest. The Trustee will have no obligation to accelerate the
Notes. 
 SECTION 6.03 Other Remedies. 

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

SECTION 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of
the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under this Indenture (except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any Note held by a
non-consenting Holder) and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences (except if such rescission would conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). In the
event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(4), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) will be annulled, waived and
rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if: 

  
 128 

 (1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of
Default has been discharged; 
 (2) the requisite holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action
(as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or 
 (3) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default
has been cured, waived or is no longer continuing. 
 SECTION 6.05 Control by Majority. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is
unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 SECTION 6.06 Limitation on
Suits. 
 In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to Section 6.07, and
except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

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

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

SECTION 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest
on its Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer), 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. 

  
 129 

 SECTION 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers and any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the
extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel. 

SECTION 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

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

SECTION 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

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

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 6.12 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee,
the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee 

  
 130 

 
and the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any other obligor upon the Notes, including the
Guarantors), its creditors or its property and is entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims. Any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it or the Collateral Agent for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee or the Collateral Agent under Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee or the Collateral Agent under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends,
money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the
claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 SECTION 6.13 Priorities. 

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

(1) to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their agents and attorneys for amounts due under this Indenture including
Section 7.07 and the Security Documents including payment of all reasonable compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent and the costs and expenses of collection; 

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

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

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.13. Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this Section 6.13, the Trustee shall cause notice of such record date and payment date to be given to the Company and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.02. 

  
 131 

 SECTION 6.14 Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted
by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to
Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 
 ARTICLE 7

Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge,

correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

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

 134 

 (m) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted by it in
good faith at the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee or the exercising of any power conferred
by this Indenture. 
 (n) The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary or permissive act enumerated in this Indenture or any
Security Document shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act. 

SECTION 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee or any Agent in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or such Agent. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any
Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
 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, the Security Documents or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuers or upon the Issuers’ direction under any provision of this
Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other
document in connection with the sale of the Notes, the Security Documents or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication on the Notes. 

SECTION 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 
 If
a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee will send to each Holder a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it obtains actual knowledge
thereof. Except in the case of an Event of Default specified in clauses (1) or (2) of Section 6.01(a), the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if the Trustee determines in good faith that withholding the
notice is in the interest of the Holders. 
 The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is a Default or Event of Default is received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office. 

  
 135 

 SECTION 7.06 Compensation and Indemnity. 

(a) The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent from time to time such
compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers shall reimburse the Trustee and the Collateral Agent promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it
in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s agents and counsel. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent
shall provide the Issuers reasonable notice of any expenditure not in the ordinary course of business. 
 (b) The Issuers and the Guarantors,
jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and the Collateral Agent for, and hold each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and any predecessor harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including
attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees
and the Security Documents against the Issuers or any Guarantor (including this Section 7.06)) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuers or any Guarantor, or liability in connection with the acceptance,
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to so notify the
Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers of their obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers
need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent through the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s own willful misconduct, negligence as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision. 
 (c) The obligations of the
Issuers and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. 

(d) To secure the payment obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall
have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

(e) When the Trustee and the Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a)(6) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

  
 136 

 SECTION 7.07 Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice of such resignation to the Issuers and be discharged from the trust hereby created by
so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuers in writing. The Issuers may remove the Trustee if: 

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

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

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

(b) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuers shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the successor Trustee to replace it with another successor Trustee
appointed by the Issuers. 
 (c) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
the retiring Trustee (at the Issuers’ expense), the Issuers or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

(e) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and such transfer shall be subject to the Lien provided
for in Section 7.07. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

(f) As used in this Section 7.08, the term “Trustee” shall also include each Agent. 

  
 137 

 SECTION 7.08 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation or national banking association, the successor corporation or national banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee, subject to Section 7.10. 

SECTION 7.09 Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation or national banking association organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at

 ARTICLE 8 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

SECTION 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Issuers may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 applied to all outstanding Notes
upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 SECTION 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

(a) Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuers and the Guarantors
shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to this Indenture, all outstanding Notes and Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth
below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be
deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) through (4) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes and this
Indenture, including that of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (1) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04; 

(2) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes,
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 

  
 138 

 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and
the Issuers’ obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Section 8.02. 

Following the Issuers exercise of its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.

 (b) Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuers may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option under Section 8.03. 
 SECTION 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuers and the Guarantors
shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.05, 4.06, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.18 and
clause (1)(D) of Section 5.01(a), with respect to the outstanding Notes, and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all Guarantees, and the Liens on the Collateral securing the
Notes shall be released, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (“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 this Indenture and the outstanding Notes, the Issuers may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in
respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision
herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture, and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.
In addition, upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, an Event of Default specified in
Sections 6.01(a)(3) (only with respect to covenants that are released as a result of such Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(a)(4), 6.01(a)(5), 6.01(a)(6) and 6.01(a)(7) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited financial statements of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), in each case, shall not constitute an Event of Default. 

SECTION 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

(a) The following shall be the conditions to the exercise of either the Legal Defeasance option under Section 8.02 or the Covenant
Defeasance option under Section 8.03 with respect to the Notes: 

  
 139 

 (1) the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the
benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor to the extent such amounts consist of
U.S. dollar-denominated Government Securities, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the applicable Redemption Dates, as the case may be, and the Issuers must specify whether such
Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption Date; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited will be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the
extent that an amount is deposited with the Paying Agent equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium
Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Paying Agent on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit will be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Paying Agent
simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit will be applied toward such redemption; 

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers will have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that,
subject to customary assumptions and exclusions: 
 (A) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the
U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or 
 (B) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable
U.S. federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, subject to customary
assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and 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 Issuers will have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a
result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and
simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens and the consummation of other transactions in connection therewith) will have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 

  
 140 

 (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach
or violation of, or constitute a default under the Revolving Credit Facility or any other material agreement, instrument or documents (other than this Indenture) to which, the Issuers or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuers or any
Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness to be
redeemed, and, in each case, the granting of Liens and the consummation of other transactions in connection therewith); 

(6) the Issuers will have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuers or any Guarantor or others; and 

(7) the Issuers will have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of
Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel required by clause (2) of Section 8.04(a) with respect to legal defeasance need
not be delivered if all of the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable or (ii) will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers. 

SECTION 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

(a) Subject to Section 8.06, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant
to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Paying Agent, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Issuers or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (b) The Issuers will pay and indemnify the Trustee and the Paying Agent
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 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. 

  
 141 

 (c) Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Paying Agent will
deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Issuers any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee and the Paying Agent (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 SECTION 8.06 Repayment to the Issuers. 

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuers, in
trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on its request or (if
then held by the Issuers) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all
liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuers cause to be published
once, in The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Issuers. 
 SECTION 8.07 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or
Section 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under this
Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in
accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, as the case may be; provided that, if the Issuers make any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 SECTION 9.02 With Consent of
Holders. 
 (a) Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, this Indenture, the Security Documents, any Guarantee and the

connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Notes issued thereunder may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, other than Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer or offer to purchase with
respect to the Notes); provided that (x) if any such amendment or waiver will only affect one series of Notes (or less than all series of Notes) then outstanding under this Indenture, then only the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including, in each case, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) shall be required and (y) if any such amendment or waiver by its terms will
affect a series of Notes in a manner different and materially adverse relative to the manner such amendment or waiver affects other series of Notes, then the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes other than Notes
beneficially owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates, of such adversely affected series then outstanding (including, in each case, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) shall be required. 

(b) Upon the request of the Company, and upon the filing with the Trustee or the Collateral Agent of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee or
the Collateral Agent of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent of the documents described in Section 7.02 and Section 12.04, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall join with the
Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment to the Notes or Security Documents unless such amendment directly affects the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties,
liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amendment. 

  
 144 

 (c) The consent of the Holders is not necessary under this Indenture to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. 
 (d) After an
amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will give to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure of the Company to give such notice to all the
Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 (e) Without the
consent of each affected Holder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Notes held by Affiliates), an amendment or waiver may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder: 

(1) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or reduce the premium payable upon the

principal amount of then outstanding Notes; 
 (3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

 (4) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of

Indenture, the Security Documents or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all affected Holders;

Indenture of any Holder to institute suit for the payment of principal, interest or premium (if any) on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes on or after the respective due dates; 

(8) make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders; or 

(9) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees of any Guarantor in any manner materially adverse to
the Holders. 

  
 145 

 (f) Without the consent of the Holders of at least 66 and 2/3% in principal amount of Notes
then outstanding, other than Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates, no amendment, supplement or waiver may modify any Security Document or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with the Collateral or the Security Documents that

interests in the Collateral 
 (g) The Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to sign any amendment that affects the rights,
duties, immunities or liabilities of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. In signing any amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and entitled to rely upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all
conditions precedent to such amendment have been satisfied and such Opinion of Counsel shall also state that the amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company. 

SECTION 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

(a) Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of
a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of
a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its

Guarantors, as applicable. 
 ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTEES 
 SECTION 10.01 Guarantee.

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

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

  
 147 

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

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 Guarantee of
such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or a fraudulent transfer for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to
any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum
amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments

  
 148 

 
made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not
constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee will be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from
each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment, determined in accordance with GAAP. 

SECTION 10.03 Execution and Delivery. 

(a) To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of
such Guarantor by an Officer or person holding an equivalent title. 
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in
Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 

(c) If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the
Guarantees shall be valid nevertheless. 
 (d) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 SECTION 10.04 Subrogation. 

Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Issuers in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the
provisions of Section 10.01; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all
amounts then due and payable by the Issuers under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full. 
 SECTION 10.05 Benefits
Acknowledged. 
 Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

SECTION 10.06 Release of Guarantees 

(a) Each Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged without future action of the
Issuers, the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee upon: 

  
 149 

 (1) any sale, exchange, issuance, disposition or transfer (including by
merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor, after which the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, if such sale, exchange, issuance, disposition or transfer does
not violate Section 4.15 and the Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of the sale, exchange, issuance, disposition or transfer; 

(2) any sale, exchange, issuance, disposition or transfer (including by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) of
all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including to any of the Issuers or another Guarantor), if such sale, exchange, issuance, disposition or transfer does not violate Section 4.15; 

(3) the release or discharge of the guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except, in each case, a
discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee or direct obligation (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release); 

(4) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the
applicable provisions of this Indenture; 
 (5) (a) the exercise by the Issuers of their legal defeasance option or covenant
defeasance option as described under Article 8 or (b) the discharge of the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 

(6) such Guarantor consolidating with, merging into or transferring all of its assets to the Company or another Guarantor, and
as a result of, or in connection with, such transaction such Guarantor dissolves or otherwise ceases to exist; 
 (7) as
described under Article 9; or 
 (8) the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantee by a Parent Company, if any, may be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged for any reason.

 (b) In the event that any released Subsidiary Guarantor (in the case of clauses (3) and (4) of Section 10.06(a)) thereafter
incurs or guarantees (or otherwise becomes liable for) (i) Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility or (ii) Indebtedness under any Debt Facility in excess of the De Minimis Amount, such former Subsidiary Guarantor will again provide
a Guarantee. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Subsidiary Guarantor be released from its Guarantee under this
Indenture solely as a result of the termination of the Revolving Credit Facility.

 ARTICLE 11 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 SECTION 11.01
Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 (a) This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes, when
either: 
 (1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been
replaced or paid, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (2) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of one or more notices of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or may be called for redemption within one year under arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers, and the Issuers or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds
in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest), in the
opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor to the extent such amounts consist of U.S. dollar-denominated Government Securities, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for
principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; provided that (i) upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited will be sufficient for purposes of
this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or
prior to the date of redemption and (ii) any Applicable Premium Deficit will be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such
Applicable Premium Deficit will be applied toward such redemption; 
 (A) the Issuers have paid or caused to be paid all sums
payable by them under this Indenture; and 
 (B) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply
the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 
 (b) In addition, the Issuers
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 

  
 151 

 SECTION 11.02 Application of Trust Money. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust
and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuers acting as their own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons
entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

(b) If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 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, the Issuers’ and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes
and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be.

 SECTION 12.19 Limited condition transactions; measuring compliance. 

(a) With respect to any (x) Investment or acquisition, in each case, the consummation by the Company or any Subsidiary of which is not
conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third-party financing for such Investment or acquisition (whether by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or other business combination or the acquisition of Capital Stock or otherwise) as
applicable and (y) redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock requiring irrevocable notice in advance of such redemption, repurchase, defeasance,
satisfaction and discharge or repayment (any transaction described in clauses (x) or (y), a “Limited Condition Transaction”), in each case for purposes of determining: 

(1) whether any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock that is being incurred or
issued in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted to be incurred in compliance with Section 4.09; 

(2) whether any Lien being incurred in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction or to secure any such Indebtedness,
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is permitted to be incurred in accordance with Section 4.10 or the definition of “Permitted Liens”; 

(3) whether any other transaction undertaken or proposed to be undertaken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction
complies with the covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or the Notes; and 
 (4) any calculation of the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Second Lien Secured Debt Ratio, Net Income, Consolidated Net Income, and/or Consolidated EBITDAX and/or Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets and, whether a Default or Event of Default exists in connection
with the foregoing, 

  
 157 

 at the option of the Issuer, the date that the definitive agreement (or other relevant
definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the “Transaction Agreement Date”) may be used as the applicable date of determination, as the case may be, in each case with such pro forma
adjustments as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” or “Consolidated Second Lien Secured Debt Ratio,” or “Consolidated
EBITDAX” and if the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries could have taken such action on the relevant Transaction Agreement Date in compliance with the applicable ratios or other provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been
complied with. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer elects to use the Transaction Agreement Date as the applicable date of
determination in accordance with the foregoing, (a) such election may not be revoked, (b) any fluctuation or change in the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Second Lien Secured Debt Ratio, Net Income, Consolidated Net Income,
Consolidated EBITDAX or Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company, the target business, or assets to be acquired subsequent to the Transaction Agreement Date and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, will
not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock or Lien that is being incurred or issued in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted to be incurred or issued
or in connection with compliance by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries with any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes or any other action or transaction undertaken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction and
(c) until such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreements related thereto are terminated, such Limited Condition Transaction and all transactions proposed to be undertaken in connection therewith (including the
incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens) will be given pro forma effect when determining compliance of other transactions (including the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock and Liens unrelated to such Investment,
acquisition or repayment, repurchase or refinancing of Indebtedness) that are consummated after the Transaction Agreement Date and on or prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction and any such transactions (including any
incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof) will be deemed to have occurred on the Transaction Agreement Date and outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any baskets or
ratios under this Indenture after the date of such agreement and before the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction; provided that for purposes of any such calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Interest
Expense will be calculated using an assumed interest rate for the Indebtedness to be incurred in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction based on the indicative interest margin contained in any financing commitment documentation with
respect to such Indebtedness or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as reasonably determined by the Issuer in good faith. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (x) incurs Indebtedness, issues
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, creates Liens, makes Asset Sales, makes Investments, makes Restricted Payments, designates any Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary or repays any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock

designates any as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary or repays any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction
under a non-ratio-based basket (which shall occur within five Business Days of the events in clause (x) above), then the applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to any such action under the
applicable ratio-based basket without regard to any such action under such non-ratio-based basket made in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction. 

Compliance with any requirement relating to absence of Default or Event of Default may be determined as of the Transaction Agreement Date and
not as of any later date as would otherwise be required under this Indenture. 
 In the event an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) is incurred or issued, any Lien is incurred or other transaction is undertaken on the same date that any other item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) is incurred
or issued, any other Lien is incurred or other transaction is undertaken, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated with respect to such incurrence, issuance or other transaction without regard to any other incurrence, issuance or
transaction. Each item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock that is incurred or issued, each Lien incurred and each other transaction undertaken will be deemed to have been incurred, issued or taken first, to the extent available,
pursuant to the relevant Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test.

 159 

 
Documents and applicable law, to assure and confirm to the Collateral Agent the security interests in the Collateral contemplated by the Security Documents, as from time to time constituted, so
as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes and Guarantees secured hereby, according to the intent and purpose herein and therein expressed and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, including

attributable to the Oil and Gas Properties of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, as estimated in the reserve report or reports prepared as of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year prepared by one or more of the
Company’s independent petroleum engineers, after giving effect to any dispositions and production since the date of such reserve report or reports.

unless such release is in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the applicable Security Documents. 
 (b) The release of any
Second Lien Collateral from the terms of the Security Documents shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Second Lien Collateral is released pursuant to this
Indenture and the Security Documents. 
 SECTION 13.05 Release of Liens. 

(a) The Issuers and the Guarantors will be entitled to releases of Liens included in the Second Lien Collateral under any one or more of the
following circumstances, and such Liens shall immediately and automatically, without the need for any further action by any Person, be released, terminated and discharged: 

  
 160 

 (1) in whole, upon a Legal Defeasance or a Covenant Defeasance of the Notes as set forth
under Article 8; 
 (2) in whole, upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, as set forth under Article 11;

constituting Second Lien Collateral to the extent it becomes Excluded Property; and 
 (6) in part, as to any asset constituting Second Lien
Collateral (A) that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Issuers or any of the Guarantors (other than to the Issuers or Guarantor) in a transaction permitted by this Indenture (to the extent of the interest sold or disposed of);
(B) to the extent such Second Collateral is comprised of property leased to the Issuers or the Guarantors, upon termination or expiration of such lease; or (C) that is otherwise released in accordance with this Indenture or the Security
Documents. 
 In addition, Liens securing the Guarantee of any Guarantor will be automatically released when such Guarantor’s Guarantee
is released in accordance with the terms of Section 10.06. 
 (b) Upon receipt of such Officer’s Certificate and any necessary or
proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Issuers, the Collateral Agent (at the expense of the Company) shall execute, deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Second Lien
Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents. 
 SECTION 13.06 Form and Sufficiency of Release. 

In the event that the Issuers or any Guarantor has sold, exchanged, or otherwise disposed of or proposes to sell, exchange or otherwise
dispose of any portion of the Second Lien Collateral that may be sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of by such Issuer or such Guarantor (other than to an Issuer or any Guarantor), and such Issuer or such Guarantor requests in writing the
Collateral Agent to furnish a written disclaimer, release or quit-claim of any interest in such property under this Indenture and the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall execute, acknowledge and deliver (at the expense of the Company) to
the Issuers or such Guarantor (in proper form prepared by the Issuers or such Guarantor) such an instrument promptly after satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein for delivery of any such release. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
all purchasers and grantees of any property or 

  
 161 

 
rights purporting to be released herefrom shall be entitled to rely upon any release executed by the Collateral Agent hereunder as sufficient for the purpose of this Indenture and as constituting
a good and valid release of the property therein described from the Lien of this Indenture or of the Security Documents. 
 SECTION 13.07 Purchaser
Protected. 
 No purchaser or grantee of any property or rights purporting to be released herefrom shall be bound to ascertain the
authority of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to execute the release or to inquire as to the existence of any conditions herein prescribed for the exercise of such authority; nor shall any purchaser or grantee of any property or rights permitted
by this Indenture to be sold or otherwise disposed of by the Issuers be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Issuers to make such sale or other disposition. 

SECTION 13.08 The Collateral Agent. 

(a) The Issuers and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this
Indenture and the Security Documents and the Issuers and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture and the Security
Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and consents and agrees to the terms of each Security Document, as the same
may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 13.08.
Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be
authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Security Documents, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the
Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or
other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any Issuer or Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Security Documents or otherwise
exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied
(or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties. 
 (b) The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture or the Security Documents by or through receivers,
agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates (a “Related 

  
 162 

 
Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action
in reliance upon, any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee,
attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith and with due care, but such receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person shall be liable to the Issuers for any losses caused by their negligence or misconduct. 

(c) None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Security Document or the transactions contemplated thereby (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a
final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), (ii) be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuers (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and or (iii) be responsible in any manner to any of the
Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuers or any Guarantor or Affiliate of any Issuer or Guarantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture or
the Security Documents, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture or the Security Documents, or the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture or the Security Documents, or for any failure of any Issuer or Guarantor or any other party to this Indenture or the Security Documents to perform its obligations hereunder
or thereunder. None of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements
contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture or the Security Documents or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Issuer or Guarantor or any Affiliates of them. 

(d) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it in
good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuers or any Guarantor), independent
accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture or the Security Documents unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, or as otherwise provided in the Indenture or the Security Documents, as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first
be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may 

  
 163 

 
be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Except as otherwise provided in the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture or the Security Documents in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes, or as otherwise provided in the Indenture or the Security Documents, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders. 

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a
Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Issuers referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”
The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this
Section 13.08), subject to the terms of the Security Documents. 
 (f) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the
Trustee and the Issuers, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Issuers shall appoint a successor collateral agent.
If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation, which date shall not be earlier than ten Business Days following the date on which
such notice is delivered to the Issuers), the Trustee, at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may appoint a successor collateral agent, subject to the consent of the Issuers
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing payment or bankruptcy Event of Default). If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuers pursuant to the preceding
sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor, at the
expense of the Issuers. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term
“Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation
hereunder, the provisions of this Section 13.08 (and Section 7.06) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture. 
 (g) The Trustee shall initially act as
Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Security Documents, neither the Collateral
Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to
sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually
receives as a result of the exercise of such powers. 

  
 164 

 (h) The Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of securing and
perfecting the assets subject to the Security Documents. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Issuers, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to
the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. 
 (i) In no event
shall the Collateral Agent have any obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Issuer or Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the
Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of the Issuers’ or Guarantors’
property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency
thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Indenture or any Security Document other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents or the Indenture.

 (j) If the Issuers or any Guarantor (i) incurs at any time when no applicable intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time
when Indebtedness entitled to the benefit of an existing Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Collateral Agent to enter into an
intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the applicable Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the obligations so incurred, together with an Opinion of Counsel, the Collateral
Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Issuers, including legal fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein
and perform and observe its obligations thereunder. 
 (k) No provision of this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement shall require the
Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the
request or direction of Holders unless it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Indenture or the Security Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral
Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent
may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause
if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuers or the Holders to be sufficient. 

  
 165 

 (l) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for any indirect, special, punitive,
incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. 

(m) The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuers or any
Guarantor under this Indenture and the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture, the
Security Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture or any Security Document; the execution, validity,
genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Security Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness,
enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or
legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture and the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into
the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture and any Security
Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture and the Security Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent
shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of this Indenture and the Security Documents. 

(n) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be
responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs
(including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind
whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its
rights under this Indenture and the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee in the Collateral and that any such
actions taken by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to acquire title to an
asset for any reason, or take any managerial 

  
 166 

 
action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s sole
discretion may cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C.
§9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to
either resign as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Issuers, the Company, the
Guarantors or any other Person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered
and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any Person
(including the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Issuers or the Guarantors, subject to the terms of the Security Documents, a majority in interest of Holders, or as otherwise provided in the Indenture or Security Documents, shall
direct the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the property. 

(o) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral Agent
shall execute and deliver the Security Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided in the
Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, or as otherwise provided in the Indenture or Security Documents, or the Trustee, as applicable. 

(p) After the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, or as otherwise provided in the Indenture or Security Documents, may direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture or the Security
Documents. 
 (q) The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed
under the Security Documents and to the extent not prohibited under the Security Documents, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6.13 and the other provisions of this Indenture. 
 (r) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in any
Security Document, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens
intended to be created by this 

  
 167 

 
Indenture or the Security Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any Uniform Commercial Code financing or continuation statements or similar documents or
instruments), nor shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or the
security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby. 
 (s) Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation
to effect or maintain insurance or to renew any policies of insurance or to inquire as to the sufficiency of any policies of insurance carried by the Issuers or any Guarantor, to report, or make or file claims or proof of loss for, any loss or
damage insured against or that may occur, or to keep itself informed or advised as to the payment of any taxes or assessments, or to require any such payment to be made. 

(t) Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Issuers or the Guarantors, it may
require an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of this Section 13.08 and Section 12.05. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
in reliance on such certificate or opinion. 
 (u) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to the Security
Documents, the Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, or as otherwise provided in the Indenture or Security Documents, solely
with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral. 
 (v) The Collateral Agent, in executing and performing its duties under the
Security Documents, shall be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to it hereunder. 
 SECTION 13.09
Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Security Documents. 
 The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any
funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Security Documents and to the extent not prohibited under the Intercreditor Agreement, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to
itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 and the other provisions of this Indenture. 

SECTION 13.10 Amendments to Security Documents. 

The Trustee and the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Issuers and without the consent of the Holders, may from time to time enter into
one or more amendments to the Security Documents to (i) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency therein (which may include a release of Collateral), (ii) add to the Second Lien Collateral or (iii) make any other change
thereto that does not adversely affect the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. 

  
 168 

 SECTION 13.11 Impairment of security interest. 

None of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors will (i) take or omit to take any action which would materially adversely affect or impair
the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Holders of Notes with respect to the Collateral, (ii) grant any Person, or permit any Person to retain (other than the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent), any Liens on the
Second Lien Collateral, other than Permitted Liens or (iii) enter into any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any
Person in a manner that conflicts with this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents. 
 The Issuers and each
Guarantor will, at its sole cost and expense, execute and deliver all such agreements and instruments as necessary, or as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent reasonably requests, to more fully or accurately describe the assets and property intended
to be Second Lien Collateral or the obligations intended to be secured by the Security Documents. 
 SECTION 13.12 After-Acquired Property. 

If either of the Issuers or any Guarantor acquires property that is not automatically subject to a perfected security interest or Lien under
the Security Documents and such property would be of the type that is required to be pledged as Collateral under this Indenture and the Security Documents, or a Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor, then such Issuer or such Guarantor, as the
case may be, will reasonably promptly provide security interests in and Liens on such property (or, in the case of a new Guarantor, all of its assets constituting Collateral under this Indenture and the Security Documents), subject to Permitted
Liens, in favor of the Collateral Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and deliver Mortgages, certain joinder agreements and/or certificates in respect thereof as required by this Indenture and the

each case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuers within 90 days of such notice or after the Issuers becomes aware of such cessation, or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received
a request from the Depository. In addition, any Affiliate of the Issuers or any Guarantor that is a beneficial owner of all or part of a Global Note may have such Affiliate’s beneficial interest transferred to such Affiliate in the form of a
Definitive Note by providing a written request to the Issuers and the Trustee and such Opinions of Counsel, certificates or other information as may be required by this Indenture or the Issuers or Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 2.3, no Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for a Definitive Note until the end of the Distribution Compliance Period applicable to such Regulation S Global Note and receipt by the Trustee and the Issuers of any

 (b) Any Global Note that is

and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be executed,
authenticated and delivered only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note
that is a Transfer Restricted Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.2(e) of this Appendix A, bear the Restricted Notes Legend. 

(c) The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that
may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 

(d) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.3(a) of this Appendix A, the Issuers shall promptly
make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes in fully registered form without interest coupons.

due 2023 (the “Notes”) of Energy Ventures GoM LLC and EnVen Finance Corporation ( together, the “Issuers”). 

Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows:

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that: 

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

  
 B-1 

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

	2.	 Registration Rights 

(a) Piggyback Registration Rights. Subject to Section 2(d) hereof, if at any time the Company files a Mandatory Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to the New Investor Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the sale of any “Registrable Shares” under the New Investor Registration Rights Agreement, then the Company shall give prompt notice (the “Initial
Notice”) to the Holders. The Initial Notice shall offer the Holders the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as such holders may request and set forth (i) the anticipated filing date of such Mandatory Shelf
Registration Statement, (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that are proposed to be included in such Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement, and (iii) the proposed manner of distribution. Subject to Section 2(d),
the Company shall include in such Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement such Registrable Shares for which it has received written requests to register such shares within twenty (20) business days after the delivery of the Initial Notice. The
Company may decline to file such Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement after giving the Initial Notice, or withdraw such Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement after filing and after such Initial Notice as provided and subject to the New Investor
Registration Rights Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2(a) shall not apply to an IPO Registration Statement filed by the Company. 

(b) Demand Registration Rights. After the effectiveness of an IPO Registration Statement and the market
stand-off period set forth in Section 7, each Holder of Registrable Shares that are Restricted Securities or Control Securities (“Demand Registrable Shares”) will have the right to make a
written request that the Company register, under the Securities Act, on a Shelf Registration Statement, the sale of all of the Registrable Shares owned by such Holder (a “Demand Right”). Upon receipt of a request for such Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company shall give written notice of such request (the “Demand Notice”) to each other Holder as promptly as practicable but in no event later than five (5) days after the receipt of a request for a
Shelf Registration Statement, and such notice shall describe the proposed Shelf Registration Statement, the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Shares and any other information that at the time would be appropriate to include in such
notice, and offer such other Holders the opportunity to register the number of Registrable Shares as each such Holder may request in writing to the Company, given within 10 days after such Holder’s receipt of the Demand Notice. The Company
will, subject to Section 2(e ), include in such Shelf Registration Statement all such 

  
 5 

 
Registrable Shares for which it has received written request for inclusion pursuant to this Section 2(b); provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Company may file such Shelf Registration Statement during the 10-day period but in no event shall the Company cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective prior to the expiration of such 10-day period. With respect to each Shelf Registration Statement requested under this Section 2(b), the Company shall (i) as promptly as practicable after the written request of the Holders requesting such
a Shelf Registration Statement, file a Shelf Registration Statement and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable, unless the Shelf Registration
Statement relating to such request would be required pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Act to include any audited or unaudited consolidated or pro forma financial statements that are not then currently available, in which case,
promptly after such financial statements are available. The Demand Right granted under this Section 2(b) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) seven (7) years from the date of this Agreement or, with respect to such Registrable Shares
registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, upon the date of effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2(b ). 

(c) Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Shares that are registered under a Registration Statement at such time or the consent of the managing underwriter in connection with any Underwritten Offering of Registrable Shares, and each Holder represents and agrees
that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and any such underwriter, it will not make any offer relating to the Registrable Shares that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 (an
“Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. The Company represents that any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus will not include any information that conflicts with the information contained in any Registration Statement or the related Prospectus, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, when taken together with the information in such Registration
Statement and the related Prospectus, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. 
 (d) Underwriting. The Company shall advise all Holders of the lead managing underwriter for the Underwritten Offering
proposed under a Registration Statement. The right of any such Holder’s Registrable Shares to be included in a Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in
such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Shares in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Shares through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting and complete and execute any questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, custody agreements, securities escrow agreements and other documents, including
opinions of counsel, reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting, and furnish to the Company such information as the Company may reasonably request in writing for inclusion in a Registration Statement; provided, however, that no
Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder and such Holder’s intended method of
distribution and any other representation required by law or reasonably requested by the underwriters. 

  
 6 

 (e) Priority of Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the
managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be included, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares of Class A Common Stock
(including Registrable Shares) from a Registration Statement and Underwritten Offering, and any shares of Class A Common Stock included in such Registration Statement and Underwritten Offering, shall be allocated as follows: 

(i) in the case of a Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement, first, to each of the New Holders requesting inclusion of
their Registrable Shares in such Registration Statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Shares then held by each such New Holder who is requesting inclusion and second, to each of the Holders
requesting inclusion of their Registrable Shares in such Registration Statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Shares then held by each such Holder who is requesting inclusion, and 

(ii) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) herein, to the Holders requesting inclusion of
their Registrable Shares in such Registration Statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Shares then held by each such Holder who is requesting inclusion; 

provided, however, that the number of Registrable Shares held by the Holders to be included in a Registration Statement shall not be
reduced unless all other securities of the Company held by (i) officers, directors, other employees of the Company and consultants and (ii) other holders of the Company’s capital stock with registration rights that are inferior (with
respect to such reduction) to the registration rights of the Holders set forth in this Agreement, are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration. 

Subject to Section 7 hereof, by electing to include the Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement, the Holder of such Registrable
Shares shall be deemed to have agreed not to effect any public sale or distribution of securities of the Company of the same or similar class or classes of the securities included in a Registration Statement or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, during such periods as reasonably requested (but in no event for a period longer than 30 days prior to and 180 days
following the effective date of a Registration Statement) by the representatives of the underwriters, if an Underwritten Offering, or by the Company in any other registration. 

If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company
and the managing underwriter(s), delivered by the later of (i) two (2) Business Days after a price range is communicated by the Company to such Holder and (ii) ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the Registration
Statement. Any Registrable Shares excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from such registration, and such Holder shall continue to have the right to include any Registrable Shares in any subsequent Underwritten
Offerings pursuant to such Registration Statement. 

  
 7 

 (f) Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the
registration of the Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement. Each Holder shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock (under both this Agreement and the New Investor
Registration Rights Agreement) sold in such registration) of all discounts and commissions payable to underwriters or brokers and all transfer taxes and transfer fees in connection with a registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this
Agreement. 
  

	3.	 Rules 144 and 144A Reporting 

With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit the sale of the
Registrable Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: 
 (a) make and keep
current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration statement under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an
offering of its securities to the general public; 
 (b) to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); 

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports and other documents under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act, it will make available other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to, Rule 144 or Rule 144A, and in any event shall make available (either by mailing a copy
thereof, by posting on the Company’s website, or by press release) to each Holder a copy of: 
 (i) the Company’s
annual consolidated financial statements (including at least balance sheets, statements of profit and loss, statements of stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows) prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, accompanied by an audit report of the Company’s independent accountants, no later than ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company; and 

(ii) the Company’s unaudited quarterly financial statements (including at least balance sheets, statements of profit and
loss, statements of stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows) prepared in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Company’s annual financial statements, not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the
first three fiscal quarters in any such year ( commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2015, provided that only in the case of such quarter, we will furnish no later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of such fiscal quarter),
or, if the 45th day is not a business day, the next business day, unaudited quarterly financial statements; 

  
 8 

 (d) The Company shall hold, a reasonable time after the availability of the financial
statements described in clause (c) above and upon reasonable notice to the Holders (either by mail, by posting on the Company’s website, or by press release), a quarterly investor conference call to discuss such financial statements, which
call will also include an opportunity for the Holders to ask questions of management with regard to such financial statements; and 
 (e) so
long as a Holder owns any Registrable Shares, to furnish to the Holder promptly upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after
the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public), and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act),
(ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (iii) such other reports and documents of the Company, and take such further actions, as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation
of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such Registrable Shares without registration. 
  

	4.	 Registration Procedures 

In connection with the obligations of the Company with respect to any registration pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to effect or cause to be effected the registration of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act to permit the sale of such Registrable Shares by the Holder or Holders in accordance with the Holder’s or
Holders’ intended method or methods of distribution, and the Company shall: 
 (a) notify each Holder (and Review Counsel, in the case
of a Registration Statement with regard to an Underwritten Offering) in writing, at least three (3) Business Days prior to filing a Registration Statement, of its intention to file a Registration Statement with the Commission and, at least two
(2) Business Days prior to filing, provide a copy of the Registration Statement to each Holder and Review Counsel (if applicable) for review and comment; prepare and file with the Commission, as specified in this Agreement, a Registration
Statement, which Registration Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the Commission to be filed therewith; and
use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after filing and to remain effective, subject to Section 5 hereof, until the earlier of (i) such time as all
Registrable Shares covered thereby have been sold in accordance with the intended distribution of such Registrable Shares, (ii) there are no Registrable Shares outstanding or (iii) the first anniversary of the effective date of such
Registration Statement (subject to extension as provided in Section 5(c) hereof and the condition that the Registrable Shares have been transferred to an unrestricted CUSIP, are listed or included on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Global
Market or NASDAQ Capital Market, pursuant to Section 4(m) of this Agreement, or on an alternative trading system with the Registrable Shares qualified under the applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of all fifty
(50) states), and can be sold under Rule 144 without limitation as to manner of sale or volume; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to cause a 

  
 9 

 
Registration Statement to remain effective for any period longer than three (3) years following the effective date of such Registration Statement (subject to extension as provided in
Section 5(c) hereof);provided, further, that if the Company has an effective Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or other form then available to the Company) under the Securities Act and
becomes eligible to use Form S-3 or such other short-form registration statement form under the Securities Act, the Company may, upon ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to all Holders, register
any Registrable Shares registered but not yet distributed under the effective Shelf Registration Statement on such a short-form Shelf Registration Statement and, once the short-form Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, de-register such shares under the previous Registration Statement or transfer the filing fees from the previous Registration Statement (such transfer pursuant to Rule 429, if applicable) unless any Holder registered
under the initial Shelf Registration Statement notifies the Company within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Company notice that such a registration under a new Registration Statement and
de-registration of the initial Shelf Registration Statement would materially interfere with its distribution of Registrable Shares already in progress, in which case, the Company shall delay the effectiveness
of the short-form Registration Statement and termination of the then-effective initial Registration Statement or any short-form Registration Statement for a period of not less than thirty (30) days from the date that the Company receives the
notice from such Holders requesting a delay; 
 (b) subject to Section 4(h) hereof, (i) prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and post-effective amendments to each such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period described in Section 4(a) hereof; (ii) cause each Prospectus contained therein to
be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 or any similar rule that may be adopted under the Securities Act; and (iii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the disposition of all securities covered by each Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the selling Holders thereof; 

(c) furnish to the Holders, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or
supplement thereto and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Shares; the Company consents, subject to Section 5 hereof, to the use of
such Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus by the Holders, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Shares covered by any such Prospectus; 

(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, or obtain exemption from registration or qualification for, all
Registrable Shares by the time the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Shares covered by a Registration
Statement shall reasonably request in writing, keep each such registration or qualification or exemption effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to Section 4(a) and do any and all other
acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such Registrable Shares owned by such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction or to register as a broker or dealer in such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4(d) and except as may be required by
the Securities Act, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) submit to the general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 

  
 10 

 (e) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares covered by such

(f) notify each Holder promptly and, if requested by any Holder, confirm such advice in writing (1) when a Registration Statement has
become effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective, (2) of the issuance by the Commission or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement
or the initiation of any Proceeding for that purpose, (3) of any request by the Commission or any other federal, state or foreign governmental authority for (A) amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or
(B) additional information and (4) of the happening of any event during the period a Registration Statement is effective as a result of which such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference
therein contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (which information shall be accompanied by an instruction to
suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) and (5) at the request any such Holder, promptly to furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may
be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchaser of such securities, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
 (g) use its commercially reasonable
efforts to avoid the issuance of, or if issued, to obtain the withdrawal of, any order enjoining or suspending the use or effectiveness of a Registration Statement or suspending the qualification of ( or exemption from qualification of) any of the
Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction, as promptly as practicable; 
 (h) except as provided in Section 5 hereof, upon the
occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4(f)(4) hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Shares, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 

(i) if requested by the representative(s) of the underwriters, if any, or any Holders of Registrable Shares being sold in connection with such
offering, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the representative of the underwriters, if any, or such Holders indicate relates to them or that they reasonably request be included
therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment; 

  
 11 

 (j) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to
furnish to each Holder of Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement and the underwriters a signed counterpart, addressed to each such Holder and the underwriters, of: (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, addressed to the
underwriters, dated the date of each closing under the underwriting agreement, covering customary matters, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the underwriters; and (ii) a “comfort” letter, addressed to the underwriters and the
Board of Directors, dated the effective date of such Registration Statement and the date of each closing under the underwriting agreement, signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements
included in such Registration Statement, covering substantially the same matters with respect to such Registration Statement (and the Prospectus included therein) and with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are
customarily covered in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities; 
 (k) enter into
customary agreements (including in the case of an Underwritten Offering, an underwriting agreement in customary form and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) and take all other reasonable action in connection therewith in order to expedite or
facilitate the distribution of the Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement and, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, make representations and warranties to the Holders covered by such Registration Statement and to the
underwriters in such form and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings and confirm the same to the extent customary if and when requested; 

(I) make available for inspection during normal business hours upon reasonable request by representatives of the Holders and the
representative of any underwriters participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement and any special counsel or accountants retained by such Holder or underwriters, such financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents
and properties of the Company as are reasonable in the context of such offering, and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representatives, the representative
of the underwriters, counsel thereto or accountants in connection with a Registration Statement; provided, however, that such records, documents or information that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and notifies such
representatives, representative of the underwriters, counsel thereto or accountants are confidential shall not be disclosed by such representatives, representative of the underwriters, counsel thereto or accountants unless (i) the disclosure of
such records, documents or information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in a Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) the release of such records, documents or information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other
order from a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) such records, documents or information have been generally made available to the public; provided, further, that the representatives of the Holders and any underwriters will use
commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent practicable, to coordinate the foregoing inspection and information gathering and not materially disrupt the Company’s business operations; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to provide any confidential information to any Person without such Person’s prior written agreement to keep such information confidential; 

  
 12 

 (m) use its commercially reasonable efforts (including, without limitation, seeking to cure
any deficiencies cited by the exchange or market in the Company’s listing or inclusion application) to list or include all Registrable Shares on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Global Market or NASDAQ Capital Market; 

(n) prepare and file in a timely manner all documents and reports required by the Exchange Act and, to the extent the Company’s
obligation to file such reports pursuant to 
 (o) Section 15 (d) of the Exchange Act expires prior to the expiration of the effectiveness
period of the Registration Statement as required by Section 4(a) hereof, the Company shall register the Registrable Shares under the Exchange Act and shall maintain such registration through the effectiveness period required by
Section 4(a) hereof; 
 (p) provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Shares, not later than the effective date of the Registration
Statement; 
 (q) (i) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission, (ii) make generally available to its stockholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, earnings statements covering at least twelve (12) months beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement that satisfy the
provisions of Section l l(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company and (iii) not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or
supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus to which any Holder of Registrable Shares covered by any Registration Statement shall have reasonably objected on the grounds that such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or
supplement does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act; provide and cause to be maintained a registrar and transfer agent for all Registrable Shares covered by any Registration Statement from and after a date
not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement; 
 (r) in connection with any sale or transfer of the Registrable Shares
(whether or not pursuant to a Registration Statement) that will result in the securities being delivered no longer being Registrable Shares, cooperate with the Holders and the representative of the underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates, if any, representing the Registrable Shares to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive transfer legends (other than as required by the Company’s organizational documents) and to
enable such Registrable Shares to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the representative of the underwriters, if any, or the Holders may request at least three (3) Business Days prior to any sale of the Registrable Shares;

 (s) upon effectiveness of the first Registration Statement filed under this Agreement, take such actions and make such filings as are
necessary to effect the registration of the Class A Common Stock under the Exchange Act simultaneously with or immediately following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement; and 

  
 13 

 (t) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with FINRA and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter and its counsel (including any “qualified independent underwriter,” if applicable) that is
required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of FINRA. 
 The Company may require the Holders to furnish (and each
Holder shall furnish) to the Company such information regarding the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Shares as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required to effect the registration
of the Registrable Shares, and no Holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling stockholder in any Registration Statement and no Holder shall be entitled to use the Prospectus forming a part thereof if such Holder does not provide such
information to the Company. Any Holder that sells Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement or as a selling securityholder pursuant to an Underwritten Offering shall be required to be named as a selling shareholder in the related
prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers. Each Holder further agrees to furnish promptly to the Company in writing all information required from time to time to make the information previously furnished by such Holder not misleading.

 Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
Section 4(f)(3) or 4(f)(4) hereof, such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus. If so
directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Shares
current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
  

	5.	 Black-Out Period 

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5 and a good faith determination by a majority of the independent members of the Board of
Directors that it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend the use of the Registration Statement, following the effectiveness of a Registration Statement (and the filings with any international, federal or state securities commissions),
the Company, by written notice to the Holders, may direct the Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable (but in no event
for more than an aggregate of90 days in any rolling 12-month period commencing on the Closing Date or more than 60 days in any rolling 90-day period), so long as in each
of the cases the New Holders are given a substantially similar notice and are required to suspend sales for the same period, if any of the following events shall occur: (i) the representative of the underwriters of an Underwritten Offering of
primary shares by the Company has advised the Company that the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s primary Underwritten Offering; (ii) the majority of the
independent members of the Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith that (A) the offer or sale of any Registrable Shares would materially impede, delay or interfere with any proposed financing, offer or sale of securities,
acquisition, business combination, corporate reorganization or other significant transaction involving the Company, (B) after the advice of counsel, the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement would require disclosure
of non-public material 

  
 14 

 
information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law, and (C) (x) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such transaction,
(y) disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to consummate such transaction, or (z) the disclosure would render the Company unable to comply with Commission requirements, in each case
under circumstances that would make it impractical or inadvisable to cause the Registration Statement (or such filings) to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement on a post-effective basis, as applicable; or
(iii) the majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith, after the advice of counsel, that it is required by law, rule or regulation or that it is in the best interests of the Company to
supplement the Registration Statement or file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement in order to incorporate information into the Registration Statement for the purpose of ( 1) including in the Registration Statement any prospectus
required under Section 10(a )(3) of the Securities Act; (2) reflecting in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or of the most recent
post-effective amendment) that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth therein; or (3) including in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information. Upon the occurrence of any such suspension, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement on a post-effective basis or to take such action as is necessary to make resumed use of the Registration Statement compatible with the
Company’s best interests, as applicable, so as to permit the Holders to resume sales of the Registrable Shares as soon as possible. 

(b) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Registration Statement (a “Suspension Event”),
the Company shall give written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to the Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares. Such notice shall not be required to state the basis for the notice if such basis is confidential. Such
suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing and the Company is using its commercially reasonable efforts and taking all reasonable steps to terminate suspension of the use of the Registration
Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable. The Holders shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and
prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies other than permanent file copies then in the Holder’s
possession of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Shares at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (or such filings) following
further notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders in the manner described above promptly following the
conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall give a
Suspension Notice pursuant to this Section 5, the Company agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which the applicable Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during
the period from the date of receipt by the Holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of Suspension Notice and provide copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume sales.

	6.	 Indemnification and Contribution 

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder of Registrable Shares and any underwriter (as determined in the
Securities Act) for such Holder, (ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) any such Person described in clause (i) (any of the Persons referred
to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a “Controlling Person”), and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, representatives and agents of any such Person or any Controlling
Person (any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above may hereinafter be referred to as a “Purchaser Indemnitee”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments,
actions, out-of-pocket expenses, and other liabilities (the “Liabilities”), including without limitation and as incurred, reimbursement of all
reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any claim or action, or any investigation or Proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any
Purchaser lndemnitee, joint or several, directly or indirectly related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with, (x) with respect to any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained therein or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, or (y) with respect to any Prospectus
(or any amendment or supplement thereto), Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any preliminary Prospectus or any other document used to sell the Registrable Shares, any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained therein or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, in each case, except insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any
Purchaser Indemnitee furnished to the Company, or any underwriter in writing by such Purchaser Indemnitee expressly for use therein. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any claim, Proceeding
(including any governmental investigation except to the extent such investigation is confidential and is not required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable law), or litigation of which it shall have become aware in connection with the
matters addressed by this Agreement which involves the Company or a Purchaser Indemnitee. The indemnity provided for herein shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnitee. 

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Shares is participating, and as a condition to such
participation, such Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, partners, members, employees, representatives and agents and each Person who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, representatives and agents of such Person or Controlling Person to the same extent as
the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Purchaser Indemnitee, but only with reference to untrue statements or omissions 

  
 16 

 
or alleged untrue statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in
such Registration Statement ( or any amendment thereto), Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any preliminary Prospectus or any Liabilities arising out of or
based upon sales of Registrable Shares made pursuant to the Registration Statement by such Holder who has received notice of the suspension prior to such sale in violation of Section 5(b). Absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, the
liability of such Holder pursuant to this paragraph shall in no event exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder from sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), Prospectus ( or any amendment
or supplement thereto), Issuer Free Writing Prospectus ( or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any preliminary Prospectus. 
 (c) If
any suit, action, Proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, such
Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure to so notify an
Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 6, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice), and the Indemnifying Party, upon request of
the Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may reasonably designate in such Proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and
expenses actually incurred by such counsel related to such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any such Proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such Indemnified Party, unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Party failed within a reasonable time after notice of
commencement of the action to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (iii) the Indemnifying Party and its counsel do not actively and vigorously pursue the defense of such action or (iv) the
named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party, or any Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been reasonably advised by counsel that,
either (x) there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or such Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party or (y) a conflict may exist between such
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or such Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume nor direct the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party; it being
understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by those Indemnified Parties who sold a majority of the
Registrable Shares sold by all such Indemnified Parties and any such separate firm for the Company, the directors, the officers and such control Persons of the Company as shall be designated in writing by the Company). The Indemnifying Party shall
not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, 

  
 17 

 
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify any Indemnified
Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect
of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on
claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. 

(d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6 is for any reason held to be unavailable to an
Indemnified Party in respect of any Liabilities referred to therein (other than by reason of the exceptions provided therein) or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, then each Indemnifying Party under such paragraphs, in
lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits of the
Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Indemnifying Party(ies) on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Liabilities, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party(ies) and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and any Purchaser Indemnitees on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Purchaser Indemnitees and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. 
 (e) The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if such Indemnified Parties were treated as one entity for such purpose), or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 6(d)
above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Liabilities referred to in Section 6(d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses actually
incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, in no event shall a Purchaser Indemnitee be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Purchaser Indemnitee from sales of Registrable Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Purchaser Indemnitee has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. For purposes of this Section 6, each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) a Holder of Registrable
Shares shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, as the case may be, and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) the Company, and each
officer, director, partner, employee, representative, agent or manager of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. Any party entitled to 

  
 18 

 
contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or Proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another
party or parties, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may
have under this Section 6 or otherwise, except to the extent that any party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within    the meaning of Section 11 (
f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 (f)
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 will be in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Parties may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties referred to above. The Purchaser Indemnitee’s
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the respective number of Registrable Shares sold by each of the Purchaser Indemnitees hereunder and not joint. 

 

	7.	 Market Stand-off Agreement 

Each Holder hereby agrees that it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company or an underwriter of securities of the Company, directly or
indirectly sell, offer to sell (including without limitation any short sale), grant any option or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Shares or other shares of Class A Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock then owned by such Holder (other than to donees or members of the Holder who agree to be similarly bound) for a period beginning on the effective date of, and continuing for 180 days ( or such
lesser period as the lead underwriter or managing underwriters may permit) following the effective date of, an IPO Registration Statement; provided, however, if (1) during the last 17 days of the applicable restricted period, the Company
issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the applicable restricted period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the applicable restricted period, then, in each case, the restrictions imposed by this Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or event, unless the managing underwriter in the Underwritten Offering waives, in writing, such extension or the
Company is then an Emerging Growth Company (as defined under the Securities Act) and provided, further, however, that: 
 (a)
all other Persons (including any New Holders) with shares of Class A Common Stock included in such IPO Registration Statement, and all executive officers and directors of the Company then holding shares of Class A Common Stock or
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock enter into agreements that are no less restrictive than the restrictions applicable to the Holders; 

(b) the Holders shall be allowed any concession or proportionate release allowed to any other Person that entered into agreements that are no
less restrictive (with such proportion being determined by dividing the number of shares being released with respect to such other Person by the total number of issued and outstanding shares held by such other Person); provided, that nothing
in this Section 7(b) shall be construed as a right to proportionate release for such other Persons upon the expiration of the one-hundred and eighty (180) day period applicable to all Holders other
than the executive officers and directors of the Company; and 

  
 19 

 In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to place
restrictive legends on the certificates, if any, representing the securities subject to this Section 7 and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Shares and such other securities of each Holder (and the securities
of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. 
  

	8.	 Termination of the Company’s Obligation 

The Company shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Registrable Shares proposed to be sold by a Holder in a
registration pursuant to this Agreement if all such shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Holder have been listed for trading on a national securities exchange and have ceased to be Registrable Shares. 

 

	9.	 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights 

From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Holders beneficially owning not less
than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company, other than as set forth in the New Investor Registration Rights Agreement, that would allow
such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to the terms hereof or pursuant to the terms of the New Investor Registration Rights Agreement, unless, under the terms of such
agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of its securities will not reduce the amount of Registrable Shares of the Holders that is included, or
(b) to have its securities registered on a registration statement that is required to be declared effective prior to, or within one-hundred eighty (180) days of, the effective date of any
registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement. 
  

	10.	 Miscellaneous 

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being
entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including the rights granted in Section 2(f) hereof and recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Subject to
Section 6, the Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for
specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
 (b) Amendments and
Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this paragraph, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, without the written
consent of the Company and the Holders beneficially owning not less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 10(b), that

  
 20 

 
any amendments, modifications or supplements to, or any waivers or consents to departures from, the provisions of Section 7 hereof that would have the effect of extending the periods
referenced herein shall be approved by, and shall only be applicable to, those Holders who provide written consent to such extension to the Company. No amendment shall be deemed effective unless it applies uniformly to all Holders. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a waiver or consent to or departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly
or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders may be given by such Holder; provided that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the
first and second sentences of this paragraph. 
 (c) Notices. All notices and other communications, provided for or permitted
hereunder, shall be made in writing and delivered by facsimile (with receipt confirmed), overnight courier or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by telegram, if to the Existing Holder or the Company, at 333 Clay Street, Suite
4200, Houston, Texas 77002, Attention: David M. Dunwoody, Jr. 
 (d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment or assumption, subsequent Holders. The Company agrees that the Holders shall be
third party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder by the Existing Holder and the Company, and each Holder shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its
rights hereunder. 
 (e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

(f) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning
hereof. 
 (g) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
