 “Acquired Debt” means, with respect to any specified Person: 

(1) Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person was merged with or into or became a Subsidiary
of such specified Person, whether or not such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Subsidiary of, such specified Person, but excluding Indebtedness which is
extinguished, retired or repaid in connection with such Person merging with or into or becoming a Subsidiary of such specified Person; and 
 (2) Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person. 
 “Act of Required Debtholders” means, as to any matter at any time, prior to the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations, a direction in writing delivered to the Collateral Trustee by or with

Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 32 

 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly
made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral 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. 
 (b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibits A1 or A2 hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of
Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A1 hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the
Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed
thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of
any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as
required by Section 2.06 hereof. 
 (c) Temporary Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S
will be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note, which will be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, at its Minneapolis, MN office, as custodian for the Depositary,
and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Issuers and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.
The Restricted Period will be terminated upon the receipt by the Trustee of: 
 (1) a written certificate from
the Depositary, if available, together with copies of certificates from Euroclear and Clearstream, if available, certifying that they have received certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the extent of any beneficial owners thereof who acquired an interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act and who will take
delivery of a beneficial ownership interest in a 144A Global Note bearing a Private Placement Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.06(b) hereof); and

the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note will be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures and the Trustee will cancel the
Regulation S Temporary Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee
and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interests therein as hereinafter provided.

	Section 2.02	Execution and Authentication. 

 At least one Officer must sign the Notes for each Issuer by manual, facsimile, PDF attachment or other electronically transmitted signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be
valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive
evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written
order of the Issuers signed by an Officer of each Issuer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes.
The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuers pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07
hereof.  
 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 or an Affiliate of the Partnership. 
  

	Section 2.03	Registrar and Paying Agent. 

 The Issuers will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented
for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes 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 notice to any Holder. The Issuers will 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 the Partnership’s
Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The Issuers initially appoint The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 
 The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to
act as the Registrar and Paying Agent (at its office in Minneapolis, MN) and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 
  

	Section 2.04	Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

 The Issuers will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent
for the payment of principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, the Notes, and will 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 

  
 34 

 
Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuers or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If an Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will 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 will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

 

	Section 2.05	Holder Lists. 

 The
Trustee will 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 will furnish to the Trustee at least seven
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 of Notes.

  

	Section 2.06	Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of
the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All beneficial interests in the
Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuers for Definitive Notes if: 
 (1) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee
notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuers within
120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; 
 (2) the Issuers, at their
option but subject to DTC’s requirements, determine that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and deliver a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; provided that in no event shall the
Regulation S Temporary Global Note be exchanged by the Issuers for Definitive Notes prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B)
under the Securities Act, except in the case of a transfer pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act other than Rule 903 or Rule 904; or 

(3) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes and the Depositary
notifies the Trustee of its decision to exchange the Global Notes for Definitive Notes. 
 Upon the occurrence of any of the
preceding events in (1), (2) or (3) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and
2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of,
and shall be, a Global Note, other than Definitive Notes issued pursuant to any of the events described above in Section 2.06(a)(1), 2.06(a)(2) or 2.06(a)(3). A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this
Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c) hereof. 
 (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in

U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser). Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or
instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1). 
 (2) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(1)
above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either: 
 (A) both:

Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in Section 2.06(b) hereof;

Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes
or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof. 

  
 36 

 (3) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global
Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of
Section 2.06(b)(2) above and the Registrar receives the following: 
 (A) if the transferee will take
delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and 

(B) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note or
the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof. 

(4) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an
Unrestricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a

 and, in each such case set forth in this Section 2.06(b)(4), an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the
Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with
the Securities Act. 
 If any such transfer is effected pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(4) at a time when an Unrestricted Global
Note has not yet been issued, the Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(4). 
 Beneficial

 If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Note to a beneficial

 (3) Regulation S Temporary Global Note Legend. The
Regulation S Temporary Global Note will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE PAYMENT OF INTEREST HEREON.” 
 (g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At
such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or
retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to 

  
 43 

 
such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global
Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to
reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly
and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 
 (h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global
Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 
 (2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover 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, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.05 hereof). 
 (3) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or
exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will 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. 
 (5) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuers will be required: 
 (A)
to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to an offer to purchase and ending
at the close of business on the day such notice of redemption is mailed; 
 (B) to register the transfer of or to

none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuers shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 44 

 (7) The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof. 
 (8) 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 facsimile or electronically including by PDF.

form with the express requirements hereof. 
 (j) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any
actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 
  

	Section 2.07	Replacement Notes. 

 If
any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuers and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuers will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order,
will authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, if the Trustee’s requirements are met. An indemnity bond must be supplied 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 for expenses in replacing a Note. 

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally
and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note
has become or is about to become due and payable, the Partnership in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 
  

	Section 2.08	Outstanding Notes. 

 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 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of either of the Issuers holds the
Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives
proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Note is
considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 

  
 45 

 If the Paying Agent (other than either Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof)
holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 

 

	Section 2.09	Treasury Notes. 

 In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuers or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with either Issuer or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or
consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 
  

	Section 2.10	Temporary Notes. 

 Until
certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but
may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for
temporary Notes. 
 Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 

 

	Section 2.11	Cancellation. 

 The
Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will
cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) in accordance with its customary procedures.
The Trustee shall provide the Partnership a list of all Notes that have been cancelled from time to time as requested by the Partnership upon its written request and to the extent available under the Trustee’s customary procedures. The Issuers
may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that have been paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  

	Section 2.12	Defaulted Interest. 

 If
the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, they will 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 hereof. The Issuers will 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.
The Issuers will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. 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) will deliver or cause to be delivered to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the
related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

  
 46 

	Section 2.13	CUSIP Numbers and ISIN Numbers. 

 The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers and ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices 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 and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Notes and any such repurchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Partnership will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers. 

ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 
  

	Section 3.01	Notices to Trustee. 

 If
the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, they must furnish to the Trustee, at least 15 days prior to the date that a notice of redemption is delivered to Holders (or such shorter
period as may be acceptable to the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate setting forth: 
 (1) the clause of
this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur; 
 (2) the redemption date; 

(3) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and 

(4) the redemption price (if then determined and otherwise the method of determination). 

 

	Section 3.02	Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. 

 If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot, except that any Notes
represented by a Note in global form pursuant to Article 2 hereof will be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require. 
 The Trustee will 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 will be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire
outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased. 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. 
  

	Section 3.03	Notice of Redemption. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuers
will send electronically, mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, or as otherwise provided in accordance with the procedures of DTC, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that
redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 hereof. 

  
 47 

 The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state: 

(1) the redemption date; 
 (2) the redemption price (if then determined and otherwise the method of determination); 
 (3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note; 
 (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, interest on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date, subject to any condition precedent set forth in the notice; 

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

At the Issuers’ request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ names and at the Issuers’ expense;
provided, however, that the Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof requests that the Trustee give such notice and is accompanied by a copy of the notice of redemption that sets forth
the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 
  

	Section 3.04	Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

 Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price, unless the redemption
is subject to a condition precedent that is not satisfied or waived. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. 

The notice of redemption, if sent or mailed in the 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. 

  
 48 

	Section 3.05	Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

 Prior to 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (or such later time as may be agreed to by the Paying Agent or Trustee) on any redemption or purchase date, the Issuers will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying
Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will 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 interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. In addition, all money, if any, earned on funds held by
the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall be remitted to the Partnership. 
 If the Issuers comply with the provisions of the
preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will 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 an interest record date but on
or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not
so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, 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 not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes. 
  

	Section 3.06	Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

 Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuers will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the
Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. No Note in denominations of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. 

 

	Section 3.07	Optional Redemption. 

 (a)
At any time prior to April 15, 2016, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes), upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 106.500% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), with an amount not exceeding the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that: 

(1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional
Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Partnership and its Subsidiaries); and 
 (2) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of each such Equity Offering. 
 (b) Prior to April 15, 2016, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem all or part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to the
sum of 
 (1) the principal amount thereof, plus 

(2) the Make Whole Premium at the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date). 

  
 49 

 (c) Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the Notes will not be redeemable at the
Partnership’s option prior to April 15, 2016. 
 (d) On and after April 15, 2016, the Issuers may on any one or
more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the
Notes to be redeemed to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the
twelve month period beginning on April 15 of the years indicated below: 
  

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2017
	  	 	104.875	% 
	 2018
	  	 	103.250	% 
	 2019
	  	 	101.625	% 
	 2020 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 Unless the Partnership defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on
the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 
 (e) Any redemption pursuant to this
Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. 
  

	Section 3.08	Mandatory Redemption. 

The Partnership is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

 

	Section 3.09	Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds. 

 In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Partnership is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it will follow the
procedures specified below. 
 The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and all holders of Pari Passu Debt containing
provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets. The Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its
commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the
“Purchase Date”), the Partnership will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt (on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and
such other Pari Passu Debt surrendered, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same
manner as interest payments are made. 

  
 50 

 If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related
interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes
pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. 
 Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Partnership will send electronically, or
mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail or as otherwise provided in accordance with the procedures of DTC, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials
necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state: 
 (1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open; 

(2) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 

(3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest; 

(4) that, unless the Partnership defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Purchase Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing to have a Note
purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; 
 (6) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to
the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Partnership, a Depositary, if appointed by the Partnership, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 

(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Partnership, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as
the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, electronic image scan, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for
purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 
 (8) that,
if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Debt surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount allocated to the purchase of Notes in the Asset Sale Offer, the Trustee will select the Notes and other Pari Passu Debt to
be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a Global Note shall be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require, or, where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most
nearly approximates pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate) based on the principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Partnership so that
only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and 
 (9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

  
 51 

 On or before the Purchase Date, the Partnership will, to the extent lawful, accept for
payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, and required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof, or if Notes in an
aggregate principal amount less than the Offer Amount allocated to the purchase of Notes in the Asset Sale Offer have been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together
with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Partnership, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may
be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Partnership for purchase,
and the Issuers will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuers, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any
unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered, provided that such Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Partnership to
the Holder thereof. The Partnership will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date. 
 Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

	Section 4.01	Payment of Notes. 

 The
Issuers will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be considered paid on the
date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuers or a Subsidiary of the Partnership, holds as of 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the due date money deposited by the Issuers in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to
pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due. 
  

	Section 4.02	Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

 (a) The Issuers will maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuers will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at
any time the Issuers fail to maintain any such required office or agency or fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

 (b) The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented
or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Issuers of the obligation to maintain an office
or agency for such purposes. The Issuers will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

  
 52 

 (c) The Partnership hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such
office or agency of the Partnership in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof. 
  

	Section 4.03	Reports. 

 (a) So long as
any Notes are outstanding, the Partnership will furnish to the Holders of the Notes (or file or furnish, as applicable, with the SEC for public availability) within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations applicable to a
non-accelerated filer (including any extensions permitted by Rule 12b-25 thereof), whether or not required to file reports with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act: 

(1) all quarterly and annual financial and other information with respect to the Partnership and its Subsidiaries that
would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Partnership were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Partnership’s certified independent accountants; provided, however, such reports shall not be required to comply with Sections
302, 906 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or related items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K; and 
 (2) all current
reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Partnership were required to file such reports. 

(b) At any time the Partnership is not required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
(A) after furnishing the Holders of Notes or causing the Trustee to furnish to the Holders of Notes the reports and financial statements required by clauses (1) and (2) of Section 4.03(a) hereof, the Partnership will hold a
conference call to discuss such reports and the results of operations for the relevant reporting period and (B) the Partnership will issue a press release to an internationally recognized wire service prior to the date of the conference call
required to be held in accordance with this paragraph, announcing the time and date of such conference call and either including all information necessary to access the call or directing Holders of Notes, prospective investors, broker dealers and
securities analysts to contact the appropriate person at the Partnership to obtain such information. 
 (c) If the Partnership
has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries that, when taken together with all other Unrestricted Subsidiaries, are “minor” within the meaning of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X),
then, to the extent material, the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 4.03(a) hereof will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements, in the footnotes thereto, or in
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of
operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Partnership. 
 (d) If, at any time, the Partnership is no longer subject to
the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Partnership will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4.03 with the SEC within the time periods specified
above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Partnership will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. 

  
 53 

 (e) The Partnership and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any Notes are not freely
tradeable under the Securities Act, if at any time they or a parent company are not required to file with the SEC or furnish to Holders of Notes the reports required by Section 4.03(a), the Issuers and the Guarantors will furnish to the Holders
of Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

(f) Reports by the Partnership or Guarantors delivered to the Trustee should be considered for informational purposes only and the
Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Partnership’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to
which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 (g) The Trustee will have no
responsibility to determine whether the posting of such reports has occurred. 
 (h) Any failure to comply with the provisions
of this Section 4.03 shall be automatically cured when the Partnership, provides all required reports to the Holders of Notes or files all required reports with the SEC. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the availability of the foregoing reports on the Commission’s EDGAR filing system will be deemed to satisfy the foregoing delivery requirements. 

 

	Section 4.04	Compliance Certificate. 

(a) The Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, beginning with
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer
with a view to determining whether the Issuers have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the
Issuers have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or
Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto). 

(b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuers will deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, within 30 days of
any Officer of either Issuer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default, its status and what actions the Issuers are taking or propose to take in respect thereof, but
only to the extent that such Default or Event of Default has not been cured by the end of such 30 day period. 
  

	Section 4.05	Taxes. 

 The Partnership
will pay or discharge, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay or discharge, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations
or proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment or discharge is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 

  
 54 

	Section 4.06	Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

 Each of the Issuers and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit
or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Issuers and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted. 
  

	Section 4.07	Restricted Payments. 

 (a)

Restricted Investment proposed to be made or the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any
Restricted Investment, assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined, in the case of amounts greater $20.0 million, by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Partnership
whose determination shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.07, (i) in the event that a Restricted Payment (or payment or other transaction that, except for being a Permitted
Investment, would constitute a Restricted Payment) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in the preceding clauses (1) through (13) of Section 4.07(b) hereof, or is permitted pursuant to
Section 4.07(a) hereof or is a Permitted Investment, the Partnership will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such Restricted Payment or other such transaction (or portion
thereof) on the date made or later reclassify such Restricted Payment or other such transaction (or portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.07; and (ii) in the event a Restricted Payment is made pursuant to
Section 4.07(a), the Partnership will be permitted to classify whether all or any portion thereof is being (and in the absence of such classification shall be deemed to have classified the minimum amount possible as having been) made with
Incremental Funds. For purposes of this Indenture, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Partnership or a Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of
being secured on a junior priority basis or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any secured Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor arrangements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by
them.

Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred or such agreement entered into in connection with or in contemplation of such
acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of
Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred; and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of any such

by the Partnership; 
 (6) customary provisions in purchase and sale or exchange agreements, joint venture
agreements or similar operating agreements or in licenses, easements or leases or other agreements, in each case entered into in the ordinary course of business;

so long as such encumbrance or restriction was in effect as of the date of the acquisition and relates only to the property or assets so acquired and is not and was not created in anticipation of such acquisitions; 

(12) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary
course of business; 
 (13) arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any

determined in good faith by the Partnership; 
 (14) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of
assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements, shareholders’ agreements, partnership agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in

(16) in the case of any Foreign Subsidiary, any encumbrance or restriction contained in the terms of any Indebtedness or

the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership to other Indebtedness incurred by the Partnership or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances. 

 

	Section 4.09	Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. 

 (a) The Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable,
contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), the Partnership will not issue any Disqualified Stock, and the Partnership will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (other than a Guarantor) to issue any Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Partnership and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and any Restricted
Subsidiary may issue Preferred Stock, if, for the Partnership’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred
or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would have been at least 2.00 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the
additional Indebtedness had been incurred or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period. 
 (b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”) or the issuance of any
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described below: 
 (1) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness (including guarantees and letters of credit) under one or more Credit Facilities, provided that, after giving effect to any such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness
incurred under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries thereunder) and then outstanding at any one time does not exceed the
greater of (a) $52.5 million and (b) 25.0% of the Partnership’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined on the date of such incurrence; 

  
 62 

 (2) the incurrence by the Partnership and the Guarantors of Indebtedness
represented by the Initial Notes and the related Note Guarantees;

Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness other than Indebtedness described in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.09(b); 
 (4) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (including Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, Attributable Debt, mortgage financings or
purchase money obligations) or the issuance by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Disqualified Stock or the issuance by any Restricted Subsidiary of Preferred Stock, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or
any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation, repair or improvement of property (real or personal), plant or equipment or other assets used in the business of the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary (whether
through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to
this clause (4), provided that after giving effect to any such incurrence, the principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4) and then outstanding does not exceed the greater of (a) $20.0 million and
(b) 10.0% of the Partnership’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined at the time of such incurrence; 
 (5) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to, extend, refinance, renew,
replace, defease or refund Indebtedness that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred (or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock permitted to be issued) under Section 4.09(a) hereof or clauses (2), (3), (4), (12) or (18) of this
Section 4.09(b) or this subclause 4.09(b)(5); 
 (6) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Partnership and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that: 

(A) if the Partnership is the obligor on such Indebtedness and a Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness must be
unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, or if a Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and neither the Partnership nor another Guarantor is the obligee, such
Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor; and 

(B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a
Person other than the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither the Partnership nor a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership will be
deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this subclause 4.09(b)(6); 

(7) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under Hedging Contracts in the

incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations relating to net Hydrocarbon balancing positions arising in the ordinary course of business; 

(10) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of bid,
performance, surety and similar bonds issued for the account of the Partnership and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, including guarantees and obligations of the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
with respect to letters of credit supporting such obligations (in each case other than an obligation for money borrowed); 
 (11) the issuance by any of the Partnership’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Partnership or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Preferred Stock; provided, however, that:

 (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Preferred Stock being
held by a Person other than the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership; and 
 (B) any sale or
other transfer of any such Preferred Stock to a Person that is not either the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership, 
 shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this subclause 4.09(b)(11); 

(12) Acquired Debt incurred by the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that, after giving effect to the
related merger or acquisition transaction, on a pro forma basis, either (a) the Partnership 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) hereof or (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Partnership would be equal to or greater than immediately prior to such transactions; 

(13) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness, provided that,
after giving effect to any such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund any Indebtedness incurred under this
clause (13), does not exceed the greater of $30.0 million and 15.0% of the Partnership’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; 
 (14) Indebtedness incurred by the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership to the extent that the net proceeds thereof are promptly deposited to defease or to satisfy and discharge the
Notes in accordance with this Indenture; 
 (15) Indebtedness of the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary of
the Partnership consisting of obligations to pay insurance premiums or take-or-pay obligations contained in supply arrangements, including, without limitation, long-term off-take contracts for Hydrocarbons, incurred in the ordinary course of
business; 

  
 64 

 (16) Indebtedness in respect of any bankers’ acceptance, bank
guarantees, letter of credit, warehouse receipt or similar facilities, and reinvestment obligations related thereto, entered into in the ordinary course of business; 

(17) Guarantees (a) incurred in the ordinary course of business in respect of obligations of (or to) suppliers,
customers, franchisees, lessors and licensees that, in each case, are non-Affiliates or (b) otherwise constituting Investments not prohibited hereunder; 
 (18) Indebtedness issued by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to any current, future or former director, officer, consultant or employee of the Partnership, the General Partner, any
direct or indirect parent of the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership, or their estates or the beneficiaries of such estates to finance the purchase, redemption, acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests
permitted by Section 4.07(b)(5) hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund any Indebtedness incurred under
this clause (18), not to exceed $5.0 million as of any date of incurrence; 
 (19) Indebtedness incurred in
connection with any Sale and Leaseback Transaction not relating to the Principal Properties and any refinancing, refunding, renewal or extension of any such Indebtedness, provided that, except to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder, the
principal amount of any such Indebtedness is not increased above the principal amount thereof outstanding immediately prior to such refinancing, refunding, renewal or extension and the direct and contingent obligors with respect to such Indebtedness
are not changed; 
 (20) Indebtedness in respect of overdraft facilities, employee credit card programs and other
cash management arrangements in the ordinary course of business; 
 (21) Indebtedness representing deferred

(22) cash management obligations and other Indebtedness in respect of netting services, automatic clearinghouse
arrangements, overdraft protections and similar arrangements in each case in connection with deposit accounts. 
 For purposes
of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in
clauses (1) through (22) of Section 4.09(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Partnership will be permitted to divide and classify (or later divide, classify or reclassify in whole or in part
in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09 (including in part pursuant to one or more clauses and/or in part pursuant to Section 4.09(a)
hereof). Any Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement on the date hereof shall be considered incurred under Section 4.09(b)(1) hereof and may not be later reclassified. 
 (c) The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and

  
 65 

 
the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of
Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09, provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Partnership as accrued. Further, the accounting reclassification of any obligation of the Partnership
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as Indebtedness will not be deemed an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09. 
 (d) For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness, any Guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect to letters of credit, in each case, supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in
the determination of such particular amount, will not be included. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to this covenant will not be deemed to be
exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different
currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 

 

	Section 4.10	Asset Sales. 

 (a) The
Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 
 (1) other than in case of an Event of Loss, the Partnership (or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value
(measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; 
 (2) other than in case of an Event of Loss, the fair market value is determined by the Board of Directors of the Partnership if the value is $20.0 million or more and evidenced by a resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Partnership; and 
 (3) at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received by the
Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Asset Sale is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets, and, if the Asset Sale is a Sale of Collateral, such Replacement Assets must constitute Collateral. For purposes of this
provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 
  

	 	(a)	any liabilities (as shown on the Partnership’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or as would be shown on
such balance sheet or footnotes if such liability was incurred subsequent to the date of such balance sheet), of the Partnership or such Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms contractually subordinated
in right of payment to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to an agreement that releases the Partnership or such Subsidiary from further liability, or that are otherwise released or
assumed; and 

  

	 	(b)	any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are, within 180 days after the Asset Sale,
converted by the Partnership or such Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion. 

  
 66 

 (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale other than a
Sale of Collateral, the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following: 
 (1) to repay, redeem, repurchase or otherwise retire any Senior Debt of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, including the Notes to the extent otherwise permitted by this Indenture; 

(2) to acquire all or substantially all of the properties or assets of a Person primarily engaged in a Permitted Business
if, after giving effect to such acquisition, such Person is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership; 
 (3) to acquire any Capital Stock of a Person operating a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to such acquisition, such Person operating a Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary
of the Partnership; 
 (4) to make capital expenditures in respect of the Partnership’s or its Restricted
Subsidiaries’ Permitted Business or make an Investment in Replacement Assets; or 
 (5) to acquire other
assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business or make an Investment in assets that will be used or useful in the Partnership’s business. 
 The requirement of clauses (2) through and including (5) of this Section 4.10(b) shall be deemed to be satisfied if a bona fide binding contract committing to make the acquisition,
purchase, Investment or expenditure referred to therein is entered into by the Partnership (or any Restricted Subsidiary) within the time period specified in this Section 4.10(b) and such Net Proceeds are subsequently applied in accordance with
such contract within 365 days following the date such agreement is entered into. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Partnership may utilize such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

 (c) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale that constitutes a Sale of Collateral, the
Partnership (or the Restricted Subsidiary that owned those assets, as the case may be) shall apply those Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following: 

(1) to repay, redeem, repurchase or otherwise retire any (i) First Lien Debt, (ii) Pari Passu Debt or
(iii) the Notes, and, if the Indebtedness being repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, provided that if the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary shall so repay any Pari Passu
Debt, the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary will equally and ratably repay, redeem or repurchase the Notes as provided in Section 3.07 hereof through open market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the
principal amount thereof) or by making an offer in accordance with Section 3.09 hereof to all holders of Notes to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, the pro rata
principal amount of the Notes) 
 (2) to repay any Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Lien on any Collateral
that was sold in such Asset Sale; 

  
 67 

 (3) to make an Investment in other assets or property that would constitute
Collateral; 
 (4) to acquire all or substantially all of the properties or assets of a Person primarily engaged
in a Permitted Business if, after giving effect to such acquisition, such properties or assets would constitute Collateral; 
 (5) to acquire any Capital Stock of a Person operating a Permitted Business if, after giving effect to such acquisition, such Person operating a Permitted Business is or becomes a Guarantor or is merged
into or consolidated with the Partnership or another Guarantor and all such Capital Stock would be pledged as Collateral to the extent required under this Indenture; 

(6) to make capital expenditures with respect to assets that constitute Collateral or make an Investment in Replacement
Assets that constitute Collateral; or 
 (7) to acquire other long-term assets that constitute Collateral and
that are used or useful in a Permitted Business. 
 The requirement of clauses (3) through and including (7) of this
Section 4.10(c) hereof shall be deemed to be satisfied if a bona fide binding contract committing to make the acquisition, purchase, Investment or expenditure referred to therein is entered into by the Partnership (or any Restricted Subsidiary)
within the time period specified in the preceding paragraph and such Net Proceeds are subsequently applied in accordance with such contract within 180 days following the date such agreement is entered into. Pending the final application of any such
Net Proceeds, the Partnership may use such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (d) Any Net
Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(b) or Section 4.10(c) hereof will constitute “Excess Proceeds” (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make
an offer to purchase notes as described in Sections 4.10(b)(1) and 4.10(c)(1) shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted). 
 (e) Within 10 business days after the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million (or, at the Partnership’s option, on any earlier date), the Partnership will make an offer (the
“Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Pari Passu Debt containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales
of assets, to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of notes and such other Pari Passu Debt (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection
therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of settlement, subject to
the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of settlement, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after the consummation of an
Asset Sale Offer, the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Debt tendered into such Asset
Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and the Trustee or agent for such other Pari Passu Debt shall select such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis or by lot (except that any Notes
represented by a note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require or, where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as the Trustee
deems fair and appropriate) but with such adjustments as necessary so that no Notes or other Pari Passu Debt is purchased in part in an authorized denomination, based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed. Upon completion of
each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 

  
 68 

 (f) The Partnership will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act
and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10, the Partnership will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under
Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance. 
  

	Section 4.11	Transactions with Affiliates. 

 (a) The Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries 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, loan, advance or guarantee with any Affiliate of the Partnership in an amount in excess of $5.0 million (each, an “Affiliate
Transaction”), unless: 
 (1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the
Partnership or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person or, if, as determined in good faith by the Partnership,
no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction, such Affiliate Transaction is otherwise fair to the Partnership or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; 

(2) the Partnership delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant; and 

(3) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
consideration in excess of $20.0 million, the Partnership must obtain a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Partnership certifying that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by either a majority of the disinterested members of the
Board of Directors of the Partnership or the conflicts committee (or other committee serving a similar function) of the Board of Directors of the Partnership (so long as the members of the conflicts committee (or other such committee) approving the
Affiliate Transaction are disinterested). 
 (b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and,
therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof: 
 (1) any employment, equity
award, equity option or equity appreciation agreement or plan, or any consulting, service or termination agreement, or any customary indemnification arrangement or agreement, entered into by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in
the ordinary course of business, and any payments or other awards made pursuant to any of the foregoing; 
 (2)
transactions between or among any of the Partnership and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

  
 69 

 (3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that
is an Affiliate of the Partnership solely because the Partnership owns, directly or indirectly, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person; 
 (4) contracts, instruments or other agreements or arrangements, and transactions effected in accordance therewith, in each case as such contracts, instruments or other agreements or arrangements are in
effect on the date hereof, and any amendment or replacement of any of such agreements so long as such amendment or replacement agreement is not materially more disadvantageous to the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the agreement so
amended or replaced as in effect on the date hereof, as determined by the Partnership in good faith; 
 (5)
customary compensation, indemnification and other benefits made available to current, former and future officers, directors or employees of the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary, the General Partner or any direct or indirect parent of the
Partnership, including reimbursement or advancement of out-of-pocket expenses and provisions of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance; 
 (6) sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the Partnership and any agreement that provides customary registration rights to the equity holders of the Partnership or any

(8) reimbursement of expenses incurred by the General Partner in operating the business and operations of the Partnership,
including without limitation payments to the General Partner and its directors and officers as indemnification payments, in each case in accordance with the Partnership Agreement as in effect on the date hereof and as may be amended, provided
that any such amendment is not materially more disadvantageous to the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the Partnership Agreement in effect on the date hereof; 

(9) in the case of contracts for the purchase or sale of Hydrocarbons or activities or services reasonably related
thereto, or other operational contracts, any such contracts that are entered into in the ordinary course of business on terms substantially similar to those contained in similar contracts entered into by the Partnership or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries with third parties or otherwise on terms not materially less favorable to the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole than those that would be available in a transaction with an unrelated third party in the view of
the Partnership; 
 (10) any guarantee by any direct or indirect parent of the Partnership of Indebtedness or
other obligations of the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary (which Indebtedness or obligation is not prohibited hereunder); 
 (11) transactions with Affiliates solely in their capacity as holders of Indebtedness or Equity Interests of the Partnership or any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries, so long as such transaction is
with all holders of such class (and there are such non-Affiliate holders) and such Affiliates are treated no more favorably than all other holders of such class generally; 

  
 70 

 (12) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners
or purchasers or sellers of goods or services in the ordinary course of business on terms not materially less favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Partnership, as determined in
good faith by the Partnership; 
 (13) transactions or agreements in which the Partnership or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an independent financial advisor stating that such transaction or agreement is fair to the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or
meets the requirements of Section 4.11(a)(1) hereof; 
 (14) any contribution to the common equity capital
of the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (15) any transaction with any Person who is not an Affiliate
immediately before the consummation of such transaction that becomes an Affiliate as a result of such transaction; 
 (16) (a) guarantees by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of performance of obligations of the Partnership’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, except
for guarantees of Indebtedness in respect of borrowed money, and (b) pledges by the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership of (or any guarantee by the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary limited in recourse solely to)
Equity Interests in Unrestricted Subsidiaries for the benefit of lenders or other creditors of the Partnership’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries, in each case, to the extent otherwise permitted by this Indenture; 

(17) payments by the Partnership (or any other direct or indirect parent of the Partnership) or any of its Restricted

such agreements are in effect on the date hereof, (b) any amendment or replacement of any of such agreements or (c) any agreement entered into hereafter that is similar to any such agreements, so long as, in the case of clause (b) or
(c), the terms of any such amendment or replacement agreement or future agreement, taken as a whole, are no less advantageous to the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries or no less favorable to the Holders in any material respect than the
agreement so amended or replaced or the similar such agreement currently in effect (considered together with all such similar agreements), respectively, as determined in good faith by the Partnership; 

(20) Loans or advances permitted pursuant to clause (9) of the definition of Permitted Investments; 

(21) transactions between the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person that would not otherwise
constitute an Affiliate Transaction except for the fact that one director of such other Person is also a director of the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable; provided that such director abstains from voting as a
director of the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, on any matter involving such other Person; and 
 (22) transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries, customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, or lessors or lessees of property, in each case in the ordinary course of
business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are, in the aggregate (taking into account all the costs and benefits associated with such transactions), not materially less favorable to the Partnership and its Restricted
Subsidiaries than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated person, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Partnership. 

  
 71 

	Section 4.12	Liens. 

 The Partnership
will not, and will not permit any of the Guarantors to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness or Attributable Debt upon any of their property or assets,
now owned or hereafter acquired. 
  

	Section 4.13	Business Activities. 

 (a)
The Partnership will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than a Permitted Business, except to such extent as would not be material to the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole,
as determined in good faith by the Partnership. 
 (b) Finance Corp. may not incur Indebtedness (other than Existing
Indebtedness) unless (1) the Partnership is a co-obligor or guarantor of such Indebtedness or (2) the net proceeds of such Indebtedness are loaned or distributed to the Partnership, used to acquire outstanding debt securities issued by the
Partnership or used to repay Indebtedness of the Partnership as permitted under Section 4.10 hereof. Finance Corp. may not engage in any business not related directly or indirectly to obtaining money or arranging financing for the Partnership
or its Restricted Subsidiaries and activities incidental thereto (other than activities related to the Existing Indebtedness). 
  

	Section 4.14	Corporate Existence. 

Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Issuers shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect
their corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of the Guarantors that are Subsidiaries of the Partnership, in accordance with their respective organizational
documents (as the same may be amended from time to time); provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be required to preserve any such corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other existence of any of its
Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors of the Partnership shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

 

	Section 4.15	Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

 (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Partnership to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof)
of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in this Section 4.15. In the Change of Control Offer, the Partnership will offer a payment in cash (the “Change of
Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of settlement (the “Change of Control Settlement Date”),
subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the Change of Control Settlement Date. 

  
 72 

 (b) No later than 30 days following any Change of Control (or prior to the Change of Control
if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control), the Partnership will send a notice to each Holder and the Trustee electronically or by first class mail or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes as of the Change of Control Settlement Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the
date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by this Section 4.15 and described in such notice. 
 (c)
The Partnership will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as
a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture, the Partnership will comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 (d) On or before the Change of Control Settlement Date, the Partnership will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control
Offer. Promptly thereafter on the Change of Control Settlement Date, the Partnership will: 
 (1) deposit with
the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (2) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being
purchased by the Partnership. 
 (e) The Paying Agent will promptly after the Change of Control mail or wire transfer to each
Holder of Notes properly tendered and so accepted the Change of Control Payment for such Notes (or, if all the Notes are then in global form, make such payment through the facilities of DTC), and the Trustee will authenticate and mail (or cause to
be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided, however, that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. Any Note so accepted for payment will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Settlement Date. 
 (f) The provisions described above that require the Partnership to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are
applicable. 
 (g) The Partnership will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a
third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.15 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Partnership and purchases all Notes
properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, (2) a notice of redemption has been given for all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable
redemption price or (3) the Notes have been satisfied and discharged in accordance with Section 12.01 hereof. 

  
 73 

 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, a Change of
Control Offer by the Partnership or a third party may be made in advance of a Change of Control, subject to one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in
place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. 
 (i) In the event that Holders of not less
than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Partnership purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, the Partnership will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described in this Section 4.15, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price
equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remain outstanding, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date). 
  

	Section 4.16	Additional Note Guarantees. 

 If, after the date of this Indenture, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership that is not already a Guarantor or any Domestic Subsidiary, if not then a Guarantor becomes a borrower or guarantor under
any Indebtedness of the Partnership or any Guarantor in excess of the De Minimis Guaranteed Amount, then in either case that Subsidiary will become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the Trustee within 30 days of
the date on which it guaranteed or incurred such Indebtedness, as the case may be. Any guarantee shall be subject to release as described in Article 11. Any Excluded Subsidiary need not become a Guarantor under this Indenture. 

 

	Section 4.17	Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

 (a) The Partnership may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership
is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed
to be either an Investment made as of the time of the designation that will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a) hereof or represent one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as
determined by the Partnership. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Subsidiary so designated otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

(b) The Partnership may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such designation
will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted
under Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period, and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such
designation. 
 (c) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Partnership as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the
Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Partnership giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding
conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07 hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted 

  
 74 

 
Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Partnership as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, the Partnership will be in default of such covenant. 

 

	Section 4.18	Covenant Suspension. 

 (a)
If at any time (1) the rating assigned to the Notes by both S&P and Moody’s is an Investment Grade Rating (or, if either such entity ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the control of the Partnership, the Notes also receive
the equivalent investment grade credit rating from another “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder selected by the Partnership as a replacement
agency) and (2) no Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture (collectively, the “Suspended
Covenants”): 
  

	 	•	 	 Section 4.07 (“Restricted Payments”); 

  

	 	•	 	 Section 4.08 (“Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries”); 

 

	 	•	 	 Section 4.09 (“Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”); 

 

	 	•	 	 Section 4.10 (“Asset Sales”); 

  

	 	•	 	 Section 4.11 (“Transactions with Affiliates”); 

 

	 	•	 	 Section 4.13 (“Business Activities”); 

  

	 	•	 	 Section 4.17 (“Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries”); and 

 

	 	•	 	 Section 5.01(a)(4) (Clause (4) of paragraph (a) of “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets”). 

(b) After the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Partnership may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted
Subsidiaries pursuant to the definition of Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 (c) Thereafter, if either S&P or Moody’s (or
such other replacement agency) downgrades the ratings assigned to the Notes below the Investment Grade Rating, the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants, subject to the terms,
conditions and obligations set forth herein (each such date of reinstatement being the “Reinstatement Date”), provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist or have occurred under
this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees with respect to the foregoing suspended covenants based on, and neither Issuer nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or Guarantors shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring
during the period the foregoing covenants were suspended (the “Suspension Period”), or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the date the foregoing covenants were reinstated,
regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable suspended covenants remained in effect during such period. 
 (d) On the date the foregoing covenants are reinstated, all Indebtedness incurred during the suspension period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the date of this Indenture, so that it is
classified as permitted under clause (2) of Section 4.09(b) hereof, and all Liens, Investments and affiliate transactions in existence at such time will be deemed to have been outstanding on the date hereof. Compliance with the Suspended
Covenants with respect to Restricted Payments made after the Reinstatement Date will be calculated in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07 hereof as though such covenant had not been in effect during the entire period of time that the
covenants were suspended and no Default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made while that covenant was suspended. 
 (e) The Partnership shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, specifying (1) if a Suspended Covenant event has occurred, (2) if a Reinstatement Date has occurred and
(3) the dates of the commencement or ending of any Suspension Period. The Trustee shall not have any duty to monitor whether or not a Suspended Covenant event or Reinstatement Date has occurred or if a Suspension Period has commenced or ended,
nor any duty to notify the Holders of any of the foregoing.

 ARTICLE 5 
 SUCCESSORS 
  

	Section 5.01	Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. 

 (a) Neither of the Issuers may, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not such Issuer is the survivor); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, lease,
convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless: 
 (1) either: (a) such Issuer is the survivor; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer,
lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state or territory of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided, however, that Finance Corp.
may not consolidate or merge with or into any Person other than a corporation satisfying such requirement so long as the Partnership is not a corporation (unless a different Subsidiary of the Partnership which is a corporation becomes a co-issuer of
the Notes in lieu of Finance Corp.); 
 (2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
(if other than such Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of such Issuer under the Notes, this Indenture, and the Security Documents;

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

(4) in the case of a transaction involving the Partnership and not only Finance Corp., either: 

(a) the Partnership or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Partnership), or to which
such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made will, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the
beginning of the applicable four quarter period, 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) hereof; or 

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions on a pro forma basis as if the same
had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Partnership or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Partnership), or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made, will be equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Partnership immediately before such transactions; and 

  
 76 

 (5) such Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or disposition and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the restrictions described in Section 5.01(a)(4) hereof, any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Finance Corp.) may consolidate with, merge into or dispose of all or part of its
properties and assets to the Partnership without complying with Section 5.01(a)(4) in connection with any such consolidation, merger or disposition. 
 (c) Notwithstanding Section 5.01(a) hereof, the Partnership is permitted to reorganize as any other form of entity, provided that: 

(1) the reorganization involves the conversion (by merger, sale, contribution or exchange of assets or otherwise) of the
Partnership into a form of entity other than a limited partnership formed under Delaware law; 
 (2) the entity
so formed by or resulting from such reorganization is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia; 

(3) the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization assumes all the obligations of the Partnership under the
Notes and this Indenture pursuant to the terms of the Notes and this Indenture; 
 (4) immediately after such
reorganization no Default (other than a Reporting Default) or Event of Default exists; and 
 (5) such
reorganization is not materially adverse to the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Notes (for purposes of this clause (5) a reorganization will not be considered materially adverse to the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Notes solely
because the successor or survivor of such reorganization (a) is subject to federal or state income taxation as an entity or (b) is considered to be an “includible corporation” of an affiliated group of corporations within the
meaning of Section 1504(b) of the Code or any similar state or local law). 
  

	Section 5.02	Successor Corporation Substituted. 

 Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Partnership in a transaction that
is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Partnership is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or
other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the
“Partnership” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Partnership), and may exercise every right and power of the Partnership under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the
Partnership herein, and thereafter (except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets), the Partnership will be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes.

 ARTICLE 6 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
  

	Section 6.01	Events of Default. 

 (a)
Each of the following is an “Event of Default”: 
 (1) default for 30 consecutive days in the
payment when due of interest on the Notes; 
 (2) default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if
any, on the Notes; 
 (3) failure by the Partnership to comply with the provisions of Sections 3.09, 4.10, 4.15
or 5.01; 
 (4) failure by the Partnership for 90 days after written notice by the Trustee or Holders
representing 25% or more of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.03 hereof; 
 (5) failure by the Issuers for 60 days after written notice by the Trustee or Holders representing 25% or more of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding to comply with any of their other
agreements in this Indenture; 
 (6) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be
issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Partnership or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary), other than, in each case, Indebtedness owing to the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date
hereof, if that default: 
 (a) is caused by a failure to make any payment when due at the final maturity of such
Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or 
 (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity, 

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under
which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more; provided, however, that if any such Payment Default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or
such Indebtedness is repaid, within a period of 60 days from the continuation of such Payment Default beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default and any consequential
acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree; 
 (7) failure by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together as of the most recent audited

  
 78 

 
consolidated financial statements of the Partnership, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, to pay non-appealable final judgments aggregating in excess of $25.0 million (to the extent not
covered by insurance by a reputable and creditworthy insurer), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days after such judgments have become final and non-appealable; 

(8) the occurrence of any of the following: 

(a) except as permitted herein or by the Security Documents, any Security Document ceases for any reason to be fully
enforceable, or the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership shall so state in writing or bring an action to limit its obligations or liabilities thereunder, in any material respect; provided, that it will not be an Event of Default
under this Section 6.01(a)(8)(a) if the sole result of the failure of one or more Security Documents to be fully enforceable in any material respect is that any Lien purported to be granted under such Security Documents on Collateral,
individually or in the aggregate, having a fair market value of not more than $25.0 million ceases to be an enforceable and perfected Lien, subject only to Permitted Liens; 

(b) except as permitted herein or by the relevant Security Documents, any Lien for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes
purported to be granted under any Security Document on Collateral, individually or in the aggregate, having a fair market value in excess of $25.0 million ceases to be an enforceable and perfected Lien in any material respect, subject only to
Permitted Liens, and such condition continues for 60 days after written notice by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee of failure to comply with such requirement; provided that it will not be an Event of Default under this
Section 6.01(a)(8)(b) if such condition results from the action or inaction of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee; or 
 (9) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect, is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor,
denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee, except, in each case, by reason of the release of such Note Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture. 

(10) the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries of the Partnership that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 
 (a) commences a voluntary case; 
 (b) consents to the entry of an
order for relief against it in an involuntary case; 
 (c) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or
for all or substantially all of its property; 
 (d) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
or 
 (e) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; 

  
 79 

 (11) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any
Bankruptcy Law that: 
 (a) is for relief against the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a
Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Partnership that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 

(b) appoints a custodian of the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any
group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Partnership that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant
Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Partnership that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or 
 (c) orders the liquidation of the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Partnership that, taken together, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary; 
 and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive
days; or 
 (12) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee of a Guarantor that is a Significant
Subsidiary of the Partnership (or any group of Guarantors that would collectively constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Partnership) is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force
and effect in any material respect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee if, in each such case, such Default continues for 20 days after written notice of
such Default shall have been given to the Trustee. 
  

	Section 6.02	Acceleration. 

 (a) In the
case of an Event of Default arising from events specified in Sections 6.01(a)(10) or 6.01(a)(11) hereof, with respect to the Partnership, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of the
Partnership’s Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Partnership, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Partnership (with a copy to the
Collateral Trustee) specifying the Event of Default. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. 
 (b) Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided herein. The Trustee may withhold notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default from Holders of the Notes if
it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes. In addition, the Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate
the Notes if in the best judgment of the Trustee acceleration is not in the best interest of the Holders of 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 of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this
Indenture. 

  
 80 

 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 in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the
Collateral Trustee) may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any,
or interest, if any, on, the Notes (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or Change of Control Offer); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written
notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the Collateral Trustee) may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration, if the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal of, premium or interest, if any, on the Notes that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or
waived. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or
impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

	Section 6.05	Control by Majority. 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct in writing the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee
determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
  

	Section 6.06	Limitation on Suits. 

Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a Note 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 aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request
to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the
Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the
Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 

  
 81 

 A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a
Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

  

	Section 6.07	Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on the Note, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in the 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; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein
would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien. 
  

	Section 6.08	Collection Suit by Trustee. 

 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or Section 6.01(a)(2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust against the Partnership for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and 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, its agents and counsel. 

 

	Section 6.09	Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

 The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Partnership (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its
property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and 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 for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof 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. 

  
 82 

	Section 6.10	Priorities. 

 Subject to
the provisions contained in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, their agents and attorneys for amounts due under
Section 7.06 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest,
if any, 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, if any, respectively; and 

Third: to the Partnership or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10. 

 

	Section 6.11	Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by
a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its

(b) With respect to the Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, and at all times with respect to the Collateral

powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee or the

(j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, including, without
limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, in each of its capacities hereunder

a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Trustee shall
have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder as to any of the foregoing.

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. 
 (r) Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Trustee shall be obligated to acquire possession of or take any action with respect to any property secured by a mortgage or deed of trust, if as a result of
such action, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee in possession of”, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such property within the meaning of the Comprehensive
Environmental Responsibility Cleanup and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, unless the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee has previously determined, based upon a report prepared by a person who regularly conducts environmental
audits, that (i) such property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best interest of the Holders to take such actions as are necessary for such property to comply therewith and (ii) there
are not circumstances present at such property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous wastes for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local
law or regulation or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Holders to take such actions with respect to such property. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
before taking any such action, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee may require that a satisfactory indemnity bond or environmental impairment insurance be furnished to it for the payment or reimbursement of all expenses to which it may be put and
to protect it against all liability resulting from any claims, judgments, damages, losses, fees, penalties or expenses which may result from such action. 
 (s) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance by the Issuers or the Holders with or with respect to any securities or tax laws

not be liable for any act, omission, breach, misconduct or liability whatsoever of the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall not be liable for any act, omission, breach, misconduct or liability whatsoever of the Trustee.

	Section 7.03	Individual Rights of Trustee and Collateral Trustee. 

 The Trustee or the Collateral Trustee 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 Collateral Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.08 and 7.09 hereof. 

  
 87 

	Section 7.04	Disclaimer. 

 Neither the
Trustee nor the Collateral Trustee will be responsible for and each makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, shall not be accountable for the
Partnership’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Partnership or upon the Partnership’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by
any Paying Agent other than the Trustee (in the case of the Trustee), and will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this
Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 
  

	Section 7.05	Notice of Defaults. 

 If a
Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of the Notes and the Collateral Trustee a notice of the Default or Event of Default within the earlier of 90 days after it
occurs or 30 days after it is actually known by the Trustee or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, any Note, the Trustee
may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. 
  

	Section 7.06	Compensation and Indemnity. 

 (a) The Partnership will pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder and under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreement as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. Neither the Trustee’s nor the Collateral Trustee’s compensation will be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Partnership will reimburse
the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services as agreed to in writing by the parties. Such expenses will
include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s or the Collateral Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 (b) The Partnership and the Guarantors will jointly and severally indemnify each of the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their directors, officers, agents and employees and the Collateral Trustee
and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreement, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement against the Partnership and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim
(whether asserted by the Partnership, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may
be attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee will notify the Partnership promptly of any claim
for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee to so notify the Partnership will not relieve the Partnership or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Partnership or such Guarantor will defend
the claim and the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, will cooperate in the defense. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee may have separate counsel and the Partnership will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel. Neither the Partnership nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything herein 

  
 88 

 
to the contrary, the Partnership need not reimburse any expense or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee through the Trustee’s or
the Collateral Trustee’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final, non-appealable decision court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (c) The obligations of the Partnership and the Guarantors under this Section 7.06 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the
Collateral Trustee. 
 (d) To secure the Partnership’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this
Section 7.06, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium or interest,
if any, on, particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 (e) When either of the
Trustee or the Collateral Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (10) or (11) of Section 6.01(a) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees
and expenses of its respective agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  

	Section 7.07	Replacement of Trustee or Collateral Trustee. 

 (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee or a successor Collateral Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
or successor Collateral Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07. 
 (b) The Trustee or
the Collateral Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Partnership. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee or
the Collateral Trustee by so notifying the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as the case may be, and the Partnership in writing not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of such removal. The Partnership may remove the Trustee or the
Collateral Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09 hereof; 

(2) the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with
respect to the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a custodian or public officer
takes charge of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee or its property; or 
 (4) the Trustee or the Collateral
Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
 (c) If the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy
exists in the office of Trustee or Collateral Trustee for any reason, the Partnership will promptly appoint a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Trustee, as the case may be. Within one year after the successor Trustee or successor Collateral
Trustee takes office, in the case of the successor Trustee the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, or in the case of a successor Collateral Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Second Lien Debt calculated in accordance with Section 7.2 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, may, at the Partnership’s expense, appoint a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Trustee to replace the
successor Trustee or successor Collateral Trustee appointed by the Partnership. 

  
 89 

 (d) If a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Trustee does not take office within 60
days after the retiring Trustee or Collateral Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or Collateral Trustee, the Partnership, or in the case of the successor Trustee the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes, or in the case of a successor Collateral Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Second Lien Debt calculated in accordance with Section 7.2 of the Collateral Trust Agreement,

 ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
  

	Section 8.01	Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

 The Issuers may at any time, at the option of the Partnership’s Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
  

	Section 8.02	Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

 Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuers and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) and cure all then existing Events of Default on the date the conditions
set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and
(2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture and to have cured all then outstanding Events of Default (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 will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, and premium or
interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 
 (2) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.06, 2.07, 2.10 and 4.02 hereof; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Partnership’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; 

(4) this Article 8; and 
 (5) Section 3.07 hereof, to the extent that such Legal Defeasance is to be effected together with a redemption. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuers may exercise their option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of the option under Section 8.03 hereof. 

 

	Section 8.03	Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuers and each of
the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12,
4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16 and 4.17 hereof and Section 5.01(a)(4) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant
Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not 

  
 91 

 
“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 will
continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Issuers and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will 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 will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(a)(3) through 6.01(a)(9) and 6.01(a)(12) hereof will not constitute Events of Default. 

 

	Section 8.04	Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

 (a) In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof: 

(1) the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in
U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm, appraisal firm,
or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and premium and interest, if any, on, the outstanding Notes on the date of fixed maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuers must specify
whether the Notes are being defeased to the date of fixed maturity or to a particular redemption date; 
 (2) in
the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuers must deliver 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 Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 

(B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, 

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will
not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes 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 an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the
Partnership must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the outstanding Notes 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 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 Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

  
 92 

 (4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the
date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in
connection therewith); 
 (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
is bound (other than that resulting with respect to any Indebtedness being defeased 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 such Indebtedness, and the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 
 (6) the Issuers
must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering,
delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuers or others; 
 (7) if the Notes are to be redeemed prior to
their Stated Maturity, the Partnership must deliver to the Trustee instructions to redeem all of the Notes on the specified redemption date pursuant to the terms hereof; and 

(8) the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 (b) The Collateral
will be released from the Lien securing the Notes upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with this Article 8. 
  

	Section 8.05	Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuers acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due
and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuers will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04
hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the
request of the Issuers any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, a nationally recognized investment
bank or a nationally 

  
 93 

 
recognized appraisal or valuation firm, expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)(1) hereof), 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 Partnership. 

Subject to any applicable laws relating to abandoned property, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by
the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium on or interest, if any, on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers
on their request or (if then held by the Issuers) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to 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, will thereupon cease. 
  

	Section 8.07	Reinstatement. 

 If the
Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, 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 and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the
Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest, if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from
the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE 9

	Section 9.01	Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

Indenture; 
 (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes
or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any such Holder taken as a whole in any material respect; 

  
 94 

 (5) to secure the Notes or the Note Guarantees pursuant to the requirements
of Section 4.12 hereof; 
 (6) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes and related guarantees (and

hereunder; 
 (13) to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest for the benefit of the Trustee
and the Holders of the Notes as additional security for the payment and performance of the Issuers’ and any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, in any property, or assets, including any of which are required to be mortgaged, pledged or

(14) to provide for the succession of any parties to the Security Documents (and other amendments that are administrative

Indenture and the relevant Security Document;

Upon the request of the Partnership accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment
or supplement, and upon receipt by the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee and 

  
 95 

 
Collateral Trustee, as applicable, will join with the Partnership and the Guarantors in the execution of any amendment or supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to
make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights,
duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  

	Section 9.02	With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

 Except as provided in Section 9.01 and in this Section 9.02, the Partnership and the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without
limitation, Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof) and the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections
6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest, if any, on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has
been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
(including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). 

Upon the request of the Partnership accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment
or supplement, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, of the documents described in
Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, will join with the Partnership and the Guarantors in the execution of such amendment or supplement unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the
Trustee’s and Collateral Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, may in its discretion, but will not be
obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 
 It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes
under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Partnership will deliver to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment,
supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Partnership to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07
hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Partnership with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note
Guarantees or the Security Documents. 

  
 96 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment,
supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of the Notes (other than provisions relating to
Section 3.09, Section 4.10 or Section 4.15 hereof); 
 (3) reduce the rate of or change the time
for payment of interest on any Note; 
 (4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of,
or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

 (5) make any Note payable in currency other than that stated in the Notes; 

(6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of
Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes (other than as permitted in clause (7) below); 
 (7) waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Section 3.09, Section 4.10 or Section 4.15 hereof) 

(8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture; or 
 (9) make any change in the amendment, supplement and waiver provisions of
clauses (1) through (9) of this Section 9.02. 
 In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of
this Indenture or any Security Document that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes will require the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding. 
  

	Section 9.03	Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

 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 amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any
amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to
such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date
unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained. 

  
 97 

	Section 9.04	Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

 The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Partnership, in exchange for all Notes, may issue and the Trustee shall,
upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to
make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
  

	Section 9.05	Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

 The Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, will sign any amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties,
liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable. The Partnership may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Partnership approves it. In executing any amendment or supplement,
the Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.02 hereof, an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Partnership and any
Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable against the Partnership and such Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

confirm to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Security Documents or any part thereof, 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 secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Issuers will take, and will cause their Restricted Subsidiaries to take any and all actions reasonably required to cause the
Security Documents to create and maintain, as security

the Holders of the Notes and the other Second Lien Debt on the other hand.

priorities and security interests and certain related creditor rights in the Collateral among the Holders of the Notes and the other Second Lien Debt. 
 (d) In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

  

	Section 10.03	Collateral Trustee. 

 (a)
By their acceptance of the Notes, the Holders of the Notes will automatically appoint the Collateral Trustee to act as their agent with respect to all matters related to the Collateral and all matters related to the Intercreditor Agreement. The

 (3) as to less than all or substantially all of the
Collateral, if consent to the release of all Liens in favor of the Collateral Trustee on such Collateral has been given by an Act of Required Debtholders;

foregoing releases of Collateral or otherwise execute and deliver any such release, it will deliver to the Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions
precedent under this Indenture and the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, to such release have been met and that it is proper for the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to authorize, execute and deliver the
documents requested in connection with such release, and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Issuer or Guarantor, the Trustee or Collateral Trustee shall execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the
Issuer’s expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral
Trustee shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Security Document or in the Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary,
the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction or termination, unless and until it receives such
Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.

casualty policies before the effective date of such cancellation or modification and (y) name the Trustee or Collateral Trustee as a co-loss payee and/or lender loss payee on property and casualty policies and as an additional insured as its

 (a) The
Issuers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, with respect to the Principal Properties (each such real property asset, the “Mortgaged Property”), on the date hereof or, in the case of

 (2) evidence that a counterpart of the Mortgage (and such other documents referenced in clause (1) of this Section 10.10(a)) for each Mortgaged Property has been recorded (or are in form

Policy”) for each Mortgaged Property, which shall include only those endorsements and affirmative insurance as the Initial Purchasers (or in the case of Section 10.10(b) below, the First Lien Collateral Agent) may reasonably request
and which, upon the recording of the Mortgages, will insure the Mortgages to be valid and subsisting Liens on the Mortgaged Property described therein, free and clear of all material Liens, except Permitted Liens; 

(4) a written opinion from local counsel in each state in which Mortgaged Property is located with respect to
enforceability, creation, perfection and payment of mortgage tax with respect to the applicable Mortgage and any related fixture filings, in customary form and substance and subject to customary assumptions, limitations and qualifications,
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee;

acquisition by the Issuers or any Guarantor of any fee, leasehold or otherwise held interest in real property that is not an Excluded Asset (each, an “After-Acquired Property”), to the extent the Issuers or such Guarantor grants a
Mortgage with respect to such After-Acquired Property for the benefit of the holders of any First Lien Obligations, the Issuers or such Guarantor that owns such After-Acquired Property shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver
to the Collateral Trustee (within 90 days after the acquisition of such After-Acquired Property) a Mortgage, and to the extent provided for the benefit of the holders of any First Lien Obligations, the other items set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3),
(4), (5), (6), (7), and (8) of clause (a) of this Section 10.10 relating to such After-Acquired Property mutatis mutandis, and thereupon such After-Acquired Property shall be Collateral to the extent purported to be subject to

 ARTICLE 11 
 NOTE GUARANTEES 
  

	Section 11.01	Guarantee. 

 (a) Subject
to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee and its successors and
assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents or the obligations of the Partnership hereunder or thereunder, that: 

(1) the principal of, and premium or interest, if any, on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at
Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Partnership to the Holders, the Collateral Trustee or the
Trustee hereunder or thereunder will 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 will 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. 
 Failing payment when due of any amount so
guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will 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 are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity
or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, 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 covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance
of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (c) 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 either the Issuers or the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note
Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (d) Each Guarantor agrees that
it will 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, the Collateral Trustee and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof,
such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the
exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee. 
  

	Section 11.02	Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

 Each Guarantor, and, by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably 

  
 105

 
agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such
Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under
this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
  

	Section 11.03	Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. 

 To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto will be
endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers. The failure to execute such Note Guarantee shall not affect
the obligations of any Guarantor under such Note Guarantee or hereunder. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee
set forth in Section 11.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note
Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder,
will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
  

	Section 11.04	Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. 

 (a) A Guarantor that is a Subsidiary of the Partnership may not sell or otherwise dispose of, in one or more related transactions, all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or consolidate
with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than either Issuer or another Guarantor, unless: 
 (1) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default exists; and 

(2) either: 
 (a) either (i) the Guarantor is the surviving Person or (ii) the Person acquiring the properties or assets in any such sale or other disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) unconditionally assumes, pursuant to a supplemental indenture, all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Notes, this Indenture, the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement,
the other Security Documents and its Note Guarantee on the terms set forth therein; or 
 (b) such transaction
complies with Section 4.10 hereof. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may (i) merge with a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Partnership or another Guarantor solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Guarantor in the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof or (ii) convert into a

  
 106

 
corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or trust organized under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor, in each case without regard to
the requirements set forth in clause (1) of Section 11.04(a) hereof. 
 (c) In case of any such consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual
performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor.
Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Partnership and delivered to the Trustee. All the
Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees
had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
  

	Section 11.05	Releases. 

 (a) The Note
Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released automatically and unconditionally without the need for any action by any party: 
 (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership, if the sale or other disposition complies with Section 4.10 hereof; 

(2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Guarantor (including by way of consolidation
or merger or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership, if the sale or other disposition complies with Section 4.10 hereof and the Guarantor ceases
to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership as a result of the sale or other disposition; 
 (3) if the
Partnership designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.17 hereof; 
 (4) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 12 hereof; 

(5) solely in the case of a Note Guarantee created pursuant to Section 4.16 hereof, upon the release or discharge of
the guarantee which resulted in the creation of such Note Guarantee pursuant to such covenant, except a discharge or release of such guarantee by or as a result of payment under such guarantee; 

(6) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor; 

(7) at such time as the Guarantor ceases to both (x) guarantee any other Indebtedness of either of the Issuers and
any other Guarantor and (y) be an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness under a Credit Facility; and 

(8) upon such Guarantor consolidating with, merging into or transferring all or substantially all of its properties or
assets to the Partnership or another Guarantor. 

  
 107

automatically released. 
 (c) Upon delivery by the Partnership to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that one or more Note Guarantees may be released under the terms of the Indenture, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably requested in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its
Note Guarantee. 
 (d) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this
Section 11.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 11. 

ARTICLE 12 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
  

	Section 12.01	Satisfaction and Discharge. 

 (a) This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder (except as to surviving rights of transfer or exchange of the Notes as expressly provided
herein), when: 
 (1) either: 

(a) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and
Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or
otherwise or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee 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, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of
interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of fixed maturity or redemption; 

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of
the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection
therewith) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by
which the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound (other than any such default resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit and any similar simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and the
granting of Liens in connection therewith); 

  
 108

 (3) the Issuers or any Guarantor have paid or caused to be paid all sums
payable by them under this Indenture; and 
 (4) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the
Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at fixed maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 (b) In addition, the Issuers must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and
discharge have been satisfied. 
 (c) The Collateral will be released from the Lien securing the Notes upon a satisfaction and
discharge in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.01. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01(a)(1)(b), the provisions of Sections 12.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 12.01 will be deemed to discharge those
provisions of Section 7.06 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
  

	Section 12.02	Application of Trust Money. 

 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof 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 Partnership acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal,
premium, if any, and interest, if any, 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 12.01 hereof 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 Partnership’s and any
Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof; provided that if the Partnership has made any payment of principal of,
premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Partnership 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.

 (1) INTEREST. Rentech Nitrogen Partners, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and Rentech Nitrogen Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finance Corp.” and, together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”), promise to pay
or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.500% per annum from April 12, 2013 until maturity. The Issuers will pay interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, or
if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from the date of issuance; provided that, if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment
Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be October 15, 2013. The Issuers will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate
then in effect to the extent lawful; they will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace period), at the same rate
to the extent lawful. 
 Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months. 
 (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers
will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are
canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, if
any, at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the
register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which
will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

  
 A1-3

 (3) PAYING AGENT AND
REGISTRAR. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the
Holders of the Notes. The Issuers or any of the Subsidiaries of the Partnership may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 (4) INDENTURE. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of April 12, 2013 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors,
the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured obligations of the
Issuers. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. 

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a) At any time prior to April 15, 2016, the Partnership may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture (including any Additional Notes), upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 106.500% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), with an amount not
exceeding the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, provided that: 
 (i) at least 65% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture (including any Additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Partnership and its Subsidiaries); and

 (ii) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 

(b) Prior to April 15, 2016, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to: 
 (i) the principal amount
thereof; plus 
 (ii) the Make Whole Premium at the redemption date; plus 

(iii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date). 
 (c) Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Partnership’s option prior to April 15, 2016. 

(d) On or after April 15, 2016, the Partnership may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes,
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed, to the applicable date of

  
 A1-4

 
redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the twelve
month period beginning on April 15 of the years indicated below: 
  

					
	 Year

	 2017
	  	 	103.250	% 
	 2018

 Unless the Partnership defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on
the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 
 (6)
MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Partnership is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

(7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF
HOLDER. 
 (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to
require the Partnership to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in
Section 4.15 of the Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Partnership will offer a payment in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of settlement (the “Change of Control Settlement Date”), subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest
payment date that is on or prior to the Change of Control Settlement Date. No later than 30 days following any Change of Control (or prior to the Change of Control if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control), the Partnership
will send a notice to each Holder and the Trustee electronically or by first class mail or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase
Notes as of the Change of Control Settlement Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by Section 4.15 of the
Indenture and described in such notice. 
 (b) If the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership
consummates any Asset Sale, within 10 Business Days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Partnership will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of Pari Passu Debt
containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets in accordance with the Indenture to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount
of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess
Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of settlement, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of settlement, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those
Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes 

  
 A1-5

 
and other Pari Passu Debt tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and the Trustee or agent for such other Pari Passu Debt
shall select such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require or, where such nominee or
successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximate pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate) but with such adjustments as necessary so that no Notes or other Pari Passu Debt is purchased in part in an
authorized denomination, based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. The Partnership may satisfy the foregoing obligation with
respect to any Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 365-day period (as such period may be extended in accordance with the Indenture). Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from
the Partnership prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes. 

(8) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At least 30 days but not more
than 60 days before a redemption date, the Partnership will send electronically, mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, or provide in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are
to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture
pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 thereof. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire
outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased. Redemptions may be subject to one or more conditions. 
 (9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and
the Partnership may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Partnership need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the
unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Partnership need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or during the period
between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or tendered and not withdrawn in connection with a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer. 

(10) COLLATERAL. The Notes will be secured by the Collateral on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Indenture and the Security Documents. The Collateral Trustee holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the Security Documents. Each Holder, by accepting
this Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the foreclosure and release of Collateral) and the Intercreditor Agreement as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time
in accordance with their terms and the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Trustee and/or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, to enter into the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, and to perform their respective obligations
and exercise their respective rights thereunder in accordance therewith. 

  
 A1-6

 (11) PERSONS DEEMED
OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders have rights under the Indenture. 

(12) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreement

Additional Notes and related guarantees (and the grant of security for the benefit of the Additional Notes and related guarantees) in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, to add any additional Guarantor or to evidence the

the Notes or any Security Document related to the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Partnership’s Offering Circular dated April 9, 2013, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to add
additional secured parties to the extent Liens securing obligations held by such parties are permitted under the Indenture, to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes as
additional security for the payment and performance of the Issuers’ and any Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture, in any property, or assets, including any of which are required to be mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated, or in which
a security interest is required to be granted to the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or otherwise, to provide for the succession of any parties to the Security Documents (and other amendments that are
administrative or ministerial in nature) in connection with an amendment, renewal, extension, substitution, refinancing, restructuring, replacement, supplementing or other modification from time to time of any agreement in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture and the relevant Security Document, to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon either Issuer or any Guarantor and to provide for the assumption by one or more successors of the
obligations of any of the Guarantors under the Indenture and the Note Guarantees. 
 (13)
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i) default for 30 consecutive days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when

  
 A1-7

 
due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes; (iii) failure by the Partnership to comply with the provisions of Sections 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 or 5.01 of the Indenture;
(iv) failure by the Partnership for 90 days after written notice by the Trustee or Holders representing 25% or more of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding to comply with the provisions of Section 4.03 of the Indenture;
(v) failure by the Issuers for 60 days after notice by the Trustee or Holders representing 25% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding to comply with any of their other agreements in the Indenture; (vi) default
under certain other agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Partnership which default is a Payment Default or results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any such
Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more; (vii) failure by the Partnership or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together as of the most recent audited consolidated financial statements of the Partnership, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, to
pay non-appealable final judgments aggregating in excess of $25.0 million (to the extent not covered by insurance by a reputable and creditworthy insurer), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days after such
judgments have become final and non-appealable; (viii) the occurrence of any of the following: (a) except as permitted by the Indenture or the Security Documents, any Security Document ceases for any reason to be fully enforceable, or the
Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership shall so state in writing or bring an action to limit its obligations or liabilities thereunder, in any material respect; provided, that it will not be an Event of Default under
Section 6.01(a)(8)(a) of the Indenture if the sole result of the failure of one or more Security Documents to be fully enforceable in any material respect is that any Lien purported to be granted under such Security Documents on Collateral,
individually or in the aggregate, having a fair market value of not more than $25.0 million ceases to be an enforceable and perfected Lien, subject only to Permitted Liens or (b) except as permitted by the Indenture or the relevant Security
Documents, any Lien for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes purported to be granted under any Security Document on Collateral, individually or in the aggregate, having a fair market value in excess of $25.0 million ceases to be an enforceable
and perfected Lien in any material respect, subject only to Permitted Liens, and such condition continues for 60 days after written notice by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee of failure to comply with such requirement; provided that it
will not be an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(8)(b) of the Indenture if such condition results from the action or inaction of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee; (ix) the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency
with respect to the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Partnership; and (x) except as
permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee of a Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Partnership is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect in any
material respect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee if, in each such case, such Default continues for 20 days after notice of such Default shall have been
given to the Trustee. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Partnership, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Partnership that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in
the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes 

  
 A1-8

 
may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. The Trustee may withhold
from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all the Holders of Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its
respective consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase). The Partnership is
required to deliver to the Trustee annually within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture. Within 30 days of any officer of the Partnership or Finance Corp. becoming aware of any Default or Event
of Default, the Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee a written statement specifying such Default or Event of Default, its status and what actions the Issuers are taking or propose to take in respect thereof, but only to the extent that
such Default or Event of Default has not been cured by the end of such 30 day period. 
 (14)
TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH PARTNERSHIP. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the
Partnership or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Partnership or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 
 (15) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, partner, employee, incorporator, manager or
unitholder or other owner of Capital Stock of the Issuers or any Guarantor or any direct or indirect parent of the Partnership, including the General Partner, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or any Guarantor under
the Notes, the Indenture, the Notes Documents or the Note Guarantees, or any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
 (16)
AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 

(17) ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an

recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused CUSIP numbers and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers and ISIN numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
placed thereon. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of any change in such numbers.

upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed, to the applicable date of

 (6)
MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Partnership is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

(7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF
HOLDER. 
 (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have
the right to require the Partnership to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set
forth in Section 4.15 of the Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Partnership will offer a payment in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of settlement (the “Change of Control Settlement Date”), subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an
interest payment date that is on or prior to the Change of Control Settlement Date. No later than 30 days following any Change of Control (or prior to the Change of Control if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control), the
Partnership will send a notice to each Holder and the Trustee electronically or by first class mail or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering
to repurchase Notes as of the Change of Control Settlement Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by
Section 4.15 of the Indenture and described in such notice. 

  
 A2-5

 (b) If the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership
consummates any Asset Sale, within 10 Business Days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Partnership will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of Pari Passu Debt
containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets in accordance with the Indenture to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount
of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess
Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of settlement, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of settlement, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those
Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Debt tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the
Notes and the Trustee or agent for such other Pari Passu Debt shall select such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC or its
nominee or successor may require or, where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximate pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate) but with such adjustments as necessary so that no Notes
or other Pari Passu Debt is purchased in part in an authorized denomination, based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. The
Partnership may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to any Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 365-day period (as such period may be extended in accordance with the Indenture). Holders of Notes that are the subject of an
offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Partnership prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to
the Notes. 
 (8) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Partnership will send electronically, mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, or provide in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, a notice of redemption to
each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction
and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 thereof. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or
purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased. Redemptions may be subject to one or more conditions. 
 (9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and
the Partnership may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required

 A2-8

 
state in writing or bring an action to limit its obligations or liabilities thereunder, in any material respect; provided, that it will not be an Event of Default under
Section 6.01(a)(8)(a) of the Indenture if the sole result of the failure of one or more Security Documents to be fully enforceable in any material respect is that any Lien purported to be granted under such Security Documents on Collateral,
individually or in the aggregate, having a fair market value of not more than $25.0 million ceases to be an enforceable and perfected Lien, subject only to Permitted Liens or (b) except as permitted by the Indenture or the relevant Security

will not be an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(8)(b) of the Indenture if such condition results from the action or inaction of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee; (ix) the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency
with respect to the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Partnership; and (x) except as
permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee of a Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Partnership is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect in any
material respect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee if, in each such case, such Default continues for 20 days after notice of such Default shall have been
given to the Trustee. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Partnership, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Partnership that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in
the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on it. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all the Holders of Notes, rescind an
acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its respective consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, the Notes
(including in connection with an offer to purchase). The Partnership is required to deliver to the Trustee annually within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture. Within 30 days of any officer of
the Partnership or Finance Corp. becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee a written statement specifying such Default or Event of Default, its status and what actions the Issuers are
taking or propose to take in respect thereof, but only to the extent that such Default or Event of Default has not been cured by the end of such 30 day period. 
 (14) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH PARTNERSHIP. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans
to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Partnership or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Partnership or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

Security Documents which are less restrictive than the corresponding Priority Lien Security Documents and (iii) provisions in the Second Lien Security Documents which are solely applicable to the rights and duties of the Second Lien Collateral

to which the Second Lien Collateral Trustee or any Second Lien Secured Party would otherwise be entitled as a result of such Second Lien. Without limiting the foregoing, each Second Lien Secured Party agrees that neither the Priority Lien Agent nor
any other Priority Lien Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Collateral, or to sell, Dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Collateral, in any manner that would maximize
the return to the Second Lien Secured 

  
 15 

 
Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, Disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Second Lien Secured Parties
from such realization, sale, Disposition or liquidation. Following the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee and the other Second Lien Secured Parties may, subject to any other agreements binding on the Second
Lien Collateral Trustee or such other Second Lien Secured Parties, assert their rights under the New York UCC or otherwise to any proceeds remaining following a sale, Disposition or other liquidation of Collateral by, or on behalf of the Second Lien
Secured Parties. Each of the Second Lien Secured Parties waives any claim such Second Lien Secured Party may now or hereafter have against the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party arising out of any actions which the Priority
Lien Agent or the Priority Lien Secured Parties take or omit to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation

preserve or protect (but not enforce) the Second Liens in the Collateral.

other Second Lien Secured Parties may, in accordance with the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral; provided, however, that such notice shall be deemed an
acceleration of the Second Lien Debt; provided, further that notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period or anything in the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement to the contrary, in no event may the Second Lien Collateral
Trustee or any other Second Lien Secured Party enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral, or commence, join with any Person at any time in commencing, or petition for or vote in favor of any resolution for, any such
action or proceeding, if the Priority Lien Agent on behalf of the Priority Lien Secured Parties or any other Priority Lien Secured Party shall have commenced and shall be diligently pursuing (or shall have sought or requested relief from, or
modification of, the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to enable the commencement and pursuit thereof) the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of
the Collateral or any such action or proceeding.

subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Priority Lien Documents, to adjust and settle claims in respect of Collateral under any insurance policy in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or
similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Priority Lien Documents, all proceeds of

subject property, to such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If the Second Lien Collateral Trustee or any Second Lien Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any
such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of the foregoing, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Priority Lien Agent. In addition, if by virtue of being named as an additional insured or loss payee of any insurance policy
of any Grantor covering any of the Collateral, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee or any other Second Lien Secured Party shall have the right to adjust or settle any claim under any such insurance policy, then unless and until the Discharge of
Priority Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee and any such Second Lien Secured Party shall follow the instructions of the Priority Lien Agent, or of the Grantors under the Priority Lien Documents to the extent the

way impair the effectiveness of any such Disposition or Release.

such Collateral then held by it over to the Priority Lien Agent, and the provisions set forth in this Agreement will be reinstated as if such payment had not been made, until the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations. All Second Liens will remain
attached to and enforceable against all proceeds so held or remitted, subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Section 3.05(b) shall not apply to any proceeds of
Collateral realized in a transaction not prohibited by the Priority Lien Documents and as to which the possession or receipt thereof by the Second Lien Collateral Trustee or any other Second Lien Secured Party is otherwise permitted by the Priority
Lien Documents. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by Second Lien Collateral Trustee or any Second Lien Representative or any other Second Lien Secured Party of the required payments
of interest and principal in respect of Second Lien Obligations (and fees, expenses and indemnities payable to the Second Lien Collateral Trustee or any Second Lien Representative pursuant to the Second Lien Documents) so long as such receipt is not
the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the 

  
 19 

 
Second Lien Collateral Trustee or any other Second Lien Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set off) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien
held by any of them. 
 (c) Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations has not
occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Grantor, any Collateral or any proceeds thereof received in connection with any Enforcement Action or other exercise of
remedies by the Priority Lien Agent or any Priority Lien Secured Party shall be applied by the Priority Lien Agent to the Priority Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Priority Lien Documents. Upon the Discharge of Priority
Lien Obligations, the Priority Lien Agent shall (x) unless a Discharge of Second Lien Obligations has already occurred, deliver any proceeds of Collateral held by it to the Second Lien Collateral Trustee, to be applied by the Second Lien
Collateral Trustee to the applicable Second Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement, (y) if a Discharge of Second Lien Obligations has already occurred, apply such proceeds of Collateral to any
Excess Priority Lien Debt or other Priority Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Priority Lien Documents, or (z) if there are no Excess Priority Lien Debt or other Priority Lien Obligations, deliver such proceeds of
Collateral to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Without limiting the obligations of the Second Lien Secured Parties under this Section 3.05(c), after the Discharge of
Priority Lien Obligations or other Priority Lien Obligations has occurred, upon the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee shall deliver any proceeds of Collateral held by it (x) if there are any Excess
Priority Lien Debt or other Priority Lien Obligations, to the Priority Lien Agent, for application by the Priority Lien Agent to the Excess Priority Lien Debt or other Priority Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Priority
Lien Documents, and (y) if there are no such Excess Priority Lien Debt or other Priority Lien Obligations, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. 

SECTION 3.06 Purchase Option. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on or at any time after (i) the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or (ii) the acceleration of the Priority
Lien Obligations, the holders of the Indenture Notes and each of their respective designated Affiliates (the “Purchasers”) will have the right, at their sole option and election (but will not be obligated), at any time upon
prior written notice to the Priority Lien Agent, to purchase from the Priority Lien Secured Parties all (but not less than all) Priority Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments) that are outstanding on the date of such purchase. Promptly
following the receipt of such notice, the Priority Lien Agent will deliver to the Trustee a statement of the amount of Priority Lien Debt and other Priority Lien Obligations then outstanding and the amount of the cash collateral requested by the
Priority Lien Agent to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.06(b)(ii) below. The right to purchase provided for in this Section 3.06 will expire unless, within 10 Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice from the
Priority Lien Agent, the Trustee delivers to the Priority Lien Agent an irrevocable commitment of the Purchasers to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Priority Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments) and to otherwise complete such
purchase on the terms set forth under this Section 3.06. 

  
 20 

 (b) On the date specified by the Trustee (on behalf of the Purchasers) in such irrevocable
commitment (which shall not be less than five Business Days nor more than 20 Business Days, after the receipt by the Priority Lien Agent of such irrevocable commitment), the Priority Lien Secured Parties shall sell to the Purchasers all (but not
less than all) Priority Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments) that are outstanding on the date of such sale, subject to any required approval of any Governmental Authority then in effect, if any, and only if on the date of such sale, the
Priority Lien Agent receives the following: 
 (i) payment, as the purchase price for all Priority Lien Obligations sold in such
sale, of an amount equal to the full amount of all Priority Lien Obligations (other than outstanding letters of credit) then outstanding (including principal, interest, fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, but excluding
contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim or demand for payment has been made at or prior to such time); provided that in the case of Hedging Obligations that constitute Priority Lien Obligations the Purchasers shall cause the
applicable Secured Swap Contracts to be assigned and novated or, if such Secured Swap Contracts have been terminated, such purchase price shall include an amount equal to the sum of any unpaid amounts then due in respect of such Hedging Obligations,
calculated using the market quotation method and after giving effect to any netting arrangements; 
 (ii) a cash collateral
deposit in such amount as the Priority Lien Agent determines is reasonably necessary to secure the payment of any outstanding letters of credit constituting Priority Lien Obligations that may become due and payable after such sale (but not in any
event in an amount greater than one hundred five percent (105%) of the amount then reasonably estimated by the Priority Lien Agent to be the aggregate outstanding amount of such letters of credit at such time), which cash collateral shall be
(A) held by the Priority Lien Agent as security solely to reimburse the issuers of such letters of credit that become due and payable after such sale and any fees and expenses incurred in connection with such letters of credit and
(B) returned to the Trustee (except as may otherwise be required by applicable law or any order of any court or other Governmental Authority) promptly after the expiration or termination from time to time of all payment contingencies affecting
such letters of credit; and 
 (iii) any agreements, documents or instruments which the Priority Lien Agent may reasonably
request pursuant to which the Trustee and the Purchasers in such sale expressly assume and adopt all of the obligations of the Priority Lien Agent and the Priority Lien Secured Parties under the Priority Lien Documents on and after the date of the
purchase and sale and the Trustee (or any other representative appointed by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Indenture Notes then outstanding) becomes a successor agent thereunder. 

(c) Such purchase of the Priority Lien Obligations shall be made on a pro rata basis among the holders of the Indenture Notes (and their
respective designated Affiliates) giving notice to the Priority Lien Agent of their interest to exercise the purchase option hereunder according to each such holder’s portion of the Indenture Notes outstanding on the date of purchase. Such
purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of the Priority Lien Agent as the Priority Lien Agent may designate 

  
 21 

 
in writing to the Trustee for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to, but excluding, the Business Day on which such sale occurs if the amounts so paid by the Trustee and holders of the
Indenture Notes to the bank account designated by the Priority Lien Agent are received in such bank account prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by the
trustee and holders of the Indenture Notes to the bank account designated by the Priority Lien Agent are received in such bank account later than 12:00 noon, New York City time. 

(d) Such sale shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the Priority Lien Secured Parties as to the
Priority Lien Obligations, the Collateral or otherwise and without recourse to any Priority Lien Secured Party, except that the Priority Lien Secured Parties shall represent and warrant severally as to the Priority Lien Obligations then owing to it:
(i) that such applicable Priority Lien Secured Party own such Priority Lien Obligations; and (ii) that such applicable Priority Lien Secured Party has the necessary corporate or other governing authority to assign such interests.

 (e) After such sale becomes effective, the outstanding letters of credit will remain enforceable against the issuers thereof
and will remain secured by the Priority Liens upon the Collateral in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Priority Lien Documents as in effect at the time of such sale, and the issuers of letters of credit will remain entitled to the
benefit of the Priority Liens upon the Collateral and sharing rights in the proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Priority Lien Documents as in effect at the time of such sale, as fully as if the sale of the Priority Lien Debt
had not been made, but only the Person or successor agent to whom the Priority Liens are transferred in such sale will have the right to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce the Priority Liens and only the Purchasers in the sale will have the right
to direct such Person or successor as to matters relating to the foreclosure or other enforcement of the Priority Liens. 

ARTICLE IV 

OTHER AGREEMENTS 
 SECTION 4.01 Release of Liens and Guarantors; Automatic Release of Second Liens and Guarantors. (a) The Second Lien Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien
Secured Party, agrees that, in the event the Priority Lien Secured Parties release their Lien on any Collateral, or release any Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the Priority Lien Obligations, the Second Lien on such Collateral
and the obligation of such Guarantor under its guaranty of the Second Lien Obligations shall terminate and be released automatically and without further action if such release is effected in connection with (i) the Priority Lien Agent’s
foreclosure upon, or other exercise of rights or remedies with respect to, such Collateral or (ii) the Disposition of any Collateral permitted by the Priority Lien Documents and not resulting in the conveyance or Disposition of all or
substantially all of the Collateral in one or a series of transactions (provided that any release in connection with a Disposition of Collateral in a transaction or circumstance that complies with Section 4.10 of the Indenture (or any
similar provision of any other Second Lien Documents) and Section 4.1 of the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement shall not be subject to the condition in this clause (ii)); provided that, in the case of each of clauses
(i) and (ii), the Second Liens on such Collateral shall remain in 

  
 22 

 
place (and shall remain subject and subordinate to all Priority Liens securing Priority Lien Obligations, subject to the Priority Lien Cap) with respect to any proceeds of a Disposition of
Collateral not paid to the Priority Lien Secured Parties or that remain after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of release of Priority Liens by the Priority Lien Secured Parties on all or
substantially all of the Collateral (other than when such release occurs in connection with the Priority Lien Secured Parties’ foreclosure upon or other exercise of rights and remedies with respect to such Collateral), no release of the Second
Lien on such Collateral shall be made unless (A) consent to the release of such Second Liens has been given by the requisite percentage or number of the Second Lien Secured Parties at the time outstanding as provided for in the applicable
Second Lien Documents and (B) the Parent Company has delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Trustee certifying that all such consents have been obtained. 

(b) The Second Lien Collateral Trustee agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such releases and
other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Priority Lien Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Collateral provided for in this Section 4.01. 
 SECTION 4.02 Certain Agreements With Respect to Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. (a) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the commencement of any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against any Borrower or any subsidiary of the Parent Company. 
 (b) If the Parent
Company or any of its subsidiaries shall become subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders
(the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien
Secured Party, agrees that neither it nor any other Second Lien Secured Party will raise any objection, contest or oppose, and each Second Lien Secured Party will waive any claim such Person may now or hereafter have, to any such financing or to the
Liens on the Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”), or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Collateral or to any grant of administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code,
unless (i) the Priority Lien Agent or the Priority Lien Secured Parties oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or such use of cash collateral, (ii) such DIP Financing Liens are neither senior to, nor rank pari
passu with, the Priority Liens upon any property of the estate in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or (iii) the maximum principal amount of Indebtedness permitted under such DIP Financing exceeds the sum of (x) the amount of
Priority Lien Obligations refinanced with the proceeds thereof and (y) $35,000,000. To the extent such DIP Financing Liens are senior to, or rank pari passu with, the Priority Liens, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee will, for itself and on
behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, subordinate the Second Liens on the Collateral to the Priority Liens and to such DIP Financing Liens, so long as the Second Lien Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties,
retains Liens on all the Collateral, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code.

  
 23 

 (c) Without the consent of the Priority Lien Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee, for
itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Secured Party, agrees not to propose, support or enter into any DIP Financing, if the effect of such DIP Financing would be that the Second Lien Obligations would no longer be subordinated to the Priority
Lien Obligations in the manner set forth in this Agreement, or the Second Lien Secured Parties would recover any payments they are not otherwise entitled to under this Agreement, including by way of adequate protection. 

(d) The Second Lien Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that it will not object to,
oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party objecting to, opposing or contesting) a sale or other Disposition of any Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the
Bankruptcy Code if the Priority Lien Secured Parties shall have consented to such sale or Disposition of such Collateral and all Priority Liens and Second Liens will attach to the proceeds of the sale in the same respective priorities as set forth
in this Agreement. 
 (e) The Second Lien Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party,
waives any claim that may be had against the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party arising out of any DIP Financing Liens (granted in a manner that is consistent with this Agreement) or administrative expense priority under
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (f) The Second Lien Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each other
Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that neither the Second Lien Collateral Trustee nor any other Second Lien Secured Party will file or prosecute in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding any motion for adequate protection (or any comparable
request for relief) based upon their interest in the Collateral, nor object to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party objecting to, opposing or contesting) (i) any request by the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority
Lien Secured Party for adequate protection or (ii) any objection by the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Priority Lien Agent or Priority Lien Secured Parties
claiming a lack of adequate protection, except that the Second Lien Secured Parties may: 
 (i) freely seek and obtain relief
granting a Second Lien co-extensive in all respects with, but subordinated (as set forth in Section 2.01) to, all Liens granted in the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to, or for the benefit of, the Priority Lien Secured Parties; and

 (ii) freely seek and obtain any relief upon a motion for adequate protection (or any comparable relief), without any condition
or restriction whatsoever, at any time after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations. 
 (g) The Second Lien Collateral
Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each of the other of the Second Lien Secured Parties, waives any claim the Second Lien Collateral Trustee or any such other Second Lien Secured Party may now or hereafter have against the Priority Lien Agent or
any other Priority Lien Secured Party (or their representatives) arising out of any election by the Priority Lien Agent or any Priority Lien Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of
Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

  
 24 

 (h) The Second Lien Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien
Secured Party, agrees that in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, neither the Second Lien Collateral Trustee nor any other Second Lien Secured Party shall support or vote for any plan of reorganization or disclosure statement of the Parent
Company or any other Grantor unless (i) such plan is accepted by the class of Priority Lien Secured Parties in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise provides for the payment in full in cash of all Priority
Lien Obligations (including all post-petition interest, fees and expenses) on the effective date of such plan of reorganization, or (ii) such plan provides on account of the Priority Lien Secured Parties for the retention by the Priority Lien
Agent, for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, of the Liens on the Collateral securing the Priority Lien Obligations, and on all proceeds thereof, and such plan also provides that any Liens retained by, or granted to, the Second Lien
Collateral Trustee are only on property securing the Priority Lien Obligations and shall have the same relative priority with respect to the Collateral or other property, respectively, as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Collateral,
and to the extent such plan provides for deferred cash payments, or for the distribution of any other property of any kind or nature, on account of the Priority Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations, such plan provides that any such
deferred cash payments or other distributions in respect of the Second Lien Obligations shall be delivered to the Priority Lien Agent and distributed in accordance with the priorities provided in this Agreement. Except as provided herein, the Second
Lien Secured Parties shall remain entitled to vote their claims in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. 
 (i) The
Second Lien Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, hereby agrees that until the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations has occurred, neither Second Lien Collateral Trustee nor any Second Lien Secured
Party shall seek relief, pursuant to Section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, from the automatic stay of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or from any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the
Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Priority Lien Agent. 
 (j) The Second Lien Collateral Trustee, for itself
and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that neither Second Lien Collateral Trustee nor any other Second Lien Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien
Secured Party for allowance or payment in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Priority Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Priority Liens (it being understood that such
value will be determined without regard to the existence of the Second Liens on the Collateral). Neither Priority Lien Agent nor any other Priority Lien Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Second Lien Collateral Trustee
or any other Second Lien Secured Party for allowance or payment in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Second Liens on the
Collateral; provided that if the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party shall have made any such claim, such claim (i) shall have been approved or (ii) will be approved contemporaneously with the approval of
any such claim by the Second Lien Collateral Trustee or any Second Lien Secured Party. 

  
 25 

 (k) So long as the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations has not occurred, without the
express written consent of the Priority Lien Agent, neither Second Lien Collateral Trustee nor any other Second Lien Secured Party shall (or shall join with or support any third party in opposing, objecting to or contesting, as the case may be), in
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving any Grantor, (i) oppose, object to or contest the determination of the extent of any Liens held by any of Priority Lien Secured Party or the value of any claims of any such holder under
Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) oppose, object to or contest the payment to the Priority Lien Secured Party of interest, fees or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made
that any Lien encumbering any Collateral is not enforceable for any reason, then the Second Lien Collateral Trustee for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that, any distribution or recovery they may receive with
respect to, or allocable to, the value of the assets constituting Collateral subject to an enforceable Lien in favor of the Second Lien Secured Parties or any proceeds thereof shall (for so long as the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations has not
occurred) be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Priority Lien Agent for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties in the same form as received without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation
of the Second Lien Collateral Trustee that it has not otherwise sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or recovery) but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations occurs, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, hereby appoints the Priority Lien Agent, and any officer or agent of
the Priority Lien Agent, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Second Lien Secured Party for the limited purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.02(l) and taking any action and executing any instrument
that the Priority Lien Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.02(l), which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. 

SECTION 4.03 Reinstatement. If any Priority Lien Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or
otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount (a “Recovery”) for any reason whatsoever, then the Priority Lien Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the Priority
Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Priority Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that if, at
any time, it receives notice of any Recovery, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee or such other Second Lien Secured Party shall promptly pay over to the Priority Lien Agent any payment received by it and then in its possession or under its control in
respect of any Collateral subject to any Priority Lien securing such Priority Lien Obligations and shall promptly turn any Collateral subject to any such Priority Lien then held by it over to the Priority Lien Agent, and the provisions set forth in
this Agreement shall be reinstated as if such payment had not been made, until the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this 

  
 26 

 
Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from
such date of reinstatement. Any amounts received by the Second Lien Collateral Trustee or any other Second Lien Secured Party and then in its possession or under its control on account of the Second Lien Obligations after the termination of this
Agreement shall, in the event of a reinstatement of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.03, be held in trust for and paid over to the Priority Lien Agent for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties for application to the
reinstated Priority Lien Obligations until the discharge thereof. This Section 4.03 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.04 Refinancings and Additional Second Lien Debt. 
 (a) Subject to
Section 4.05, the Priority Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations may be Replaced, by any Priority Substitute Facility or Second Lien Substitute Facility, as the case may be, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of any
Secured Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, that (A) the Second Lien Collateral Trustee and the Priority Lien Agent shall receive on or prior to incurrence of a
Priority Substitute Facility or Second Lien Substitute Facility (1) an Officers’ Certificate from the Parent Company stating that (A) the incurrence thereof is permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document to be incurred or to

representative on their behalf), as the case may be, (B) if applicable, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Priority Lien Obligations, after giving effect to such Priority Substitute Facility, shall not exceed the Priority Lien
Cap, (C) if applicable, as of the date of incurrence of such Second Lien Substitute Facility, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Second Lien Substitute Facility and the application of the proceeds therefrom together with
all other Second Lien Debt then existing, the incurrence of such Second Lien Substitute Facility and the application of the proceeds therefrom together with all other Second Lien Debt then existing shall not violate the Second Lien Cap, and
(D) on or before the date of such incurrence, such Priority Substitute Facility or Second Lien Substitute Facility is designated by the Parent Company, in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien
Collateral Trustee, as “Priority Lien Debt” or “Second Lien Debt”, as applicable, for the purposes of the Secured Debt Documents and this Agreement; provided that no Series of Secured Debt may
be designated as both Priority Lien Debt and Second Lien Debt. 
 (b) Each of the then-exiting Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien
Collateral Trustee shall be authorized to execute and deliver such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as such holders, lenders, agent, trustee or other representative may reasonably request to give
effect to such Replacement, it being understood that the Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Trustee, without the consent of any other Secured 

  
 27 

 
Party, may amend, supplement, modify or restate this Agreement to the extent necessary or appropriate to facilitate such amendments or supplements to effect such Replacement all at the expense of
the Grantors. Upon the consummation of such Replacement and the execution and delivery of the documents and agreements contemplated in the preceding sentence, the holders or lenders of such Indebtedness and any authorized agent, trustee or other

Credit Agreement (including any covenants therein that may restrict such Replacements), Indebtedness under the Second Lien Documents may be Replaced, or Additional Second Lien Debt Facilities may be entered into, if (A) the material terms and

(c) In the event that the Priority Lien Agent or the other Priority Lien Secured Parties and the relevant Grantor enter into any
amendment, modification, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Priority Lien Security Documents (other than this Agreement), then such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provisions of the
applicable Comparable Second Lien Security Document, in each case, without the consent of any Second Lien Secured Party and without any action by the Second Lien Collateral Trustee, the Borrower or any other Grantor; provided, that (i) no such

 SECTION 4.07 Second Lien Secured Parties Rights as Unsecured Creditors; Judgment Lien
Creditor. Both before and during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any of the Second Lien Secured Parties may take any actions and exercise any and all rights that would be available to a holder of unsecured claims, including, without
limitation, the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding against any Borrower or any other Grantor in accordance with applicable law; provided, that the Second Lien Secured Parties may not take any of the actions prohibited by
Section 3.05(a) or Section 4.02; provided, further, that in the event that any of the Second Lien Secured Parties becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as
an unsecured creditor with respect to the Second Lien Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Priority Lien Obligations) as the Second Liens are subject to this
Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.08 Postponement of Subrogation. The Second Lien Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of
each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that no payment or distribution to any Priority Lien Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle any Second Lien Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect
thereof until the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, but subject to the reinstatement as provided in Section 4.03, each Priority Lien Secured Party will execute such
documents, agreements, and instruments as any Second Lien Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Priority Lien Obligations resulting from payments or distributions to
such Priority Lien Secured Party by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by such Priority Lien Secured Party are paid by such Person upon request for
payment thereof. 
 ARTICLE V 
 GRATUITOUS BAILMENT FOR 
 PERFECTION OF CERTAIN SECURITY INTERESTS

 SECTION 5.01 General. The Priority Lien Agent agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Priority Lien on any
Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Collateral or of any Account in which such Collateral is held, and if such Collateral or any such Account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the Priority Lien
Agent, the Priority Lien Agent will serve as gratuitous bailee and agent for the Second Lien Collateral Trustee for the sole purpose of perfecting the Second Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Trustee on such Collateral. It is agreed that the
obligations of the Priority Lien Agent and the rights of the Second Lien Collateral Trustee and the other Second Lien Secured Parties in connection with any such bailment arrangement will be in all respects subject to the provisions of Article II.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Priority Lien Agent will be deemed to make no representation as to the adequacy of the steps taken by it to perfect the Second Lien on any such Collateral and shall have no responsibility, duty,
obligation or liability to the Second Lien Collateral Trustee or other Second Lien Secured Party or any other person for such perfection or failure to perfect, it being understood that the sole purpose of this Article is to enable the Second Lien
Secured Parties to obtain a perfected Second Lien in such Collateral to the extent, if any, 

  
 30 

 
that such perfection results from the possession or control of such Collateral or any such account by the Priority Lien Agent. The Priority Lien Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.01
shall not have by reason of the Priority Lien Security Documents, the Second Lien Security Documents, this Agreement or any other document or theory, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Priority Lien Secured Party, the Second Lien Collateral
Trustee or any Second Lien Secured Party. Subject to Section 4.03, from and after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Lien Agent shall take all such actions in its power as shall reasonably be requested by the Second Lien
Collateral Trustee (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) to transfer possession or control of such Collateral or any such account (in each case to the extent the Second Lien Collateral Trustee has a Lien on such Collateral or account after
giving effect to any prior or concurrent releases of Liens) to the Second Lien Collateral Trustee for the benefit of all Second Lien Secured Parties. 
 SECTION 5.02 Deposit Accounts. To the extent that any Account is under the control of the Priority Lien Agent at any time, the Priority Lien Agent will act as gratuitous bailee and agent for the
Second Lien Collateral Trustee for the purpose of perfecting the Liens of the Second Lien Secured Parties in such Accounts and the cash and other assets therein as provided in Section 5.01 (but will have no duty, responsibility or obligation to
the Second Lien Secured Parties (including, without limitation, any duty, responsibility or obligation as to the maintenance of such control, the effect of such arrangement or the establishment of such perfection) except as set forth in the last
sentence of this Section). Unless the Second Liens on such Collateral shall have been or concurrently are released, after the occurrence of Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Lien Agent shall, at the request of the Second Lien
Collateral Trustee, cooperate with the Grantors and the Second Lien Collateral Trustee (at the expense of the Grantors) in permitting control of any Accounts to be transferred to the Second Lien Collateral Trustee (or for other arrangements with
respect to each such Accounts satisfactory to the Second Lien Collateral Trustee to be made). 
 ARTICLE VI 

APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS; DETERMINATION OF AMOUNTS 
 SECTION 6.01 Application of Payments. All payments received by the Priority Lien Agent or the other Priority Lien Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to
such part of the Priority Lien Obligations as the Priority Lien Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, subject to the terms of the Priority Lien Documents. 

SECTION 6.02 Determination of Amounts. Whenever a Secured Debt Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise
of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Priority Lien Obligations (or the existence of any commitment to extend credit that would constitute Priority Lien Obligations) or Second Lien
Obligations, or the existence of any Lien securing any such obligations, or the Collateral subject to any such Lien, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the other Secured Debt Representative and shall be entitled to
make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if a Secured Debt Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested 

  
 31 

 
information, the requesting Secured Debt Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including
by reliance upon a certificate of the Borrowers. Each Secured Debt Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, Issuers, Grantors or any of their subsidiaries, any Secured Party or any other person as a result of such determination. 

ARTICLE VII 
 NO RELIANCE; NO LIABILITY; 
 OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE; CONSENT OF GRANTORS;
ETC. 
 SECTION 7.01 No Reliance; Information. The Priority Lien Secured Parties and the Second Lien Secured
Parties shall have no duty to disclose to any Second Lien Secured Party or to any Priority Lien Secured Party, respectively, any information relating to the Parent Company, any other Borrower or any of the other Grantors, or any other circumstance
bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Priority Lien Obligations or the Second Priority Obligations, as the case may be, that is known or becomes known to any of them or any of their Affiliates. In the event any Priority Lien Secured
Party or any Second Lien Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to, respectively, any Second Lien Secured Party or any Priority Lien Secured Party, it shall be under no
obligation (i) to make, and shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of the information so provided, (ii) to
provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion or (iii) to undertake any investigation.

and warranties set forth in Article VIII, neither the Second Lien Collateral Trustee nor any other Second Lien Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality,
completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the Second Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Second Lien Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the other Second
Lien Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties set forth in Article VIII, neither the Priority Lien Agent nor any other Priority Lien Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or
warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the Priority Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon.

 (a) The Second Lien Collateral Trustee and the other Second Lien Secured Parties shall have no express or implied duty to the
Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party, and the Priority Lien Agent and the other Priority Lien Secured Parties shall have no express or implied duty to the Second Lien Collateral Trustee or any other Second Lien Secured Party,
to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of a default or an event of default under any Priority Lien Document and any Second Lien Document (other than, in each case, this Agreement),
regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with. 

  
 32 

 (b) The Second Lien Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf each other Second Lien
Secured Party, hereby waives any claim that may be had against the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party arising out of any actions which the Priority Lien Agent or such Priority Lien Secured Party takes or omits to take
(including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any Collateral, and actions with
respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Priority Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with this Agreement and the Priority Lien Documents or the valuation, use, protection or
release of any security for such Priority Lien Obligations. 
 SECTION 7.03 Obligations Absolute. The Lien priorities
provided for herein and the respective rights, interests, agreements and obligations hereunder of the Priority Lien Agent and the other Priority Lien Secured Party and the Second Lien Collateral Trustee and the other Second Lien Secured Parties
shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed; 
 (c) any amendment,
waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of any Secured Debt Document; 
 (d) the securing of

 (e) the commencement of any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Parent Company or any other Grantor; or 
 (f) any other circumstances that otherwise

may reasonably request, to effectuate the terms of this Agreement, including the relative Lien priorities provided for herein. 

SECTION 9.17 Relationship of Secured Parties. Nothing set forth herein shall create or evidence a joint venture, partnership or an

Documents or the Second Lien Documents, or any security interests granted by any Grantor to any Secured Party in connection therewith. Each Secured Party has entered into its respective financing agreements with the Grantors based upon its own
independent investigation, and neither the Priority Lien Agent nor Second Lien Collateral Trustee makes any warranty or representation to the other Secured Debt Representative or the Secured Parties for which it acts as agent nor does it rely upon
any representation of the other agent or the Secured Parties for which it acts as agent with respect to matters identified or referred to in this Agreement.
