Supplemental Indenture

 Exhibit 4.2 
 FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of May 2, 2012, among Viasystems Group, Inc. (the
“Guaranteeing Parent”), a parent of Viasystems, Inc. (or its permitted successor), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to
herein) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”). 
 WITNESSETH 
 WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the
Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of April 30, 2012, providing for the issuance of the Company’s 7.875% Senior Secured Notes dues 2019 (the “Notes”); 

WHEREAS, Section 9.01 of the Indenture provides that the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the
Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Documents or the Escrow Agreement without the consent of any Holder of a Note to add a Guarantor or to provide for the Guarantee of the Company’s Obligations
under the Notes by the Guaranteeing Parent or any direct or indirect parent company of the Company; 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to
Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture; 
 NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Parent and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the
Holders of the Notes as follows: 
 1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 2. AGREEMENT TO
GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Parent hereby agrees to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Note Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article 10 thereof.

 3. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future
director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Parent, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing Parent under the Note Documents or this Supplemental Indenture, or
for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the 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. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy. 
 4. INSTRUMENTS TO BE READ TOGETHER. This Supplemental Indenture is an indenture supplemental to the Indenture, and said Indenture
and this Supplemental Indenture shall henceforth be read together. 
 5. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL 

 
INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 

6. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an
original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. 
 7. EFFECT OF
HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 

8. THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the
validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Parent and the Company. 

[Signatures on following page]

Representative for such series of Additional Parity Lien Debt for purposes of Section 7.6; and 
 (iii) a
copy of the executed Collateral Trust Joinder referred to in clause (a) above, executed by the applicable Parity Lien Representative (on behalf of each holder of Obligations in respect of such Additional Parity Lien Debt represented by it).

 (c) Although the Company shall be required to deliver a copy of each of the foregoing documents described in clauses
(i) through (iii) of Section 3.8(b) to the Priority Lien Collateral Agent (if any), the Notes Trustee and to each other then existing Parity Lien Debt Representative, the failure to so deliver a copy of any such document to the
Priority Lien Collateral Agent (if any), the Notes Trustee and such other Parity Lien Debt Representative shall not affect the status of such Additional Parity Lien Debt as Parity Lien Obligations entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, the
Intercreditor Agreement and the Parity Lien Security Documents if the other requirements of this Section 3.8 are complied with. The Company shall provide to the Collateral Trustee and the other then existing Parity Lien Representative shall
have the right to request from the Company a copy of any legal opinion of counsel (which may be provided by internal counsel to the Company) provided to the holders of Additional Parity Lien Debt or their respective Parity Lien Representatives as to
the Additional Parity Lien Debt being secured by a valid and perfected security interest; provided, however, that such legal opinion or opinions need not address any collateral of a type or located in a jurisdiction not previously
covered by any legal opinion delivered by or on behalf of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow the Company or any other Grantor to incur additional Indebtedness unless otherwise permitted
by the terms of all applicable Parity Lien Documents. 
 No Liens shall be granted in favor of the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of any
Secured Party under any Parity Lien Security Document unless such Lien shall be granted for all Secured Parties under such Parity Lien Security Document.

officer, such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with; and 
 (ii) the proposed instrument or

of and at the expense of the Company or other applicable Grantor, the Collateral Trustee will either (A) be present at and deliver the release at the closing of such transaction or (B) deliver the release under customary escrow
arrangements that permit such contemporaneous payment and delivery of the release; and 
 (ii) at any time when a
Parity Lien Debt Default has occurred and is continuing, promptly after the receipt by it of any Act of Required Debtholders pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iv), the Collateral Trustee will deliver a copy of such Act of Required Debtholders to each
Parity Lien Representative. 
 (d) Each Parity Lien Representative hereby agrees that within one Business Day of the receipt by
it of any notice from the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1(c)(ii), such Parity Lien Representative will deliver a copy of such notice to each registered holder of the Series of Parity Lien Debt for which it acts as Parity Lien
Representative.

The Company will deliver to each Parity Lien Representative a copy of each Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Collateral Trustee

to Section 4.1(d). 

  
 23 

 SECTION 4.3 Collateral Trustee not Required to Serve, File, Register or Record.

 The Collateral Trustee is not required to serve, file, register or record any instrument releasing or subordinating its Liens
on any Collateral; provided, however, that if the Company or any other Grantor shall make a written demand for a termination statement under Section 9-513(c) of the UCC in connection with any release to be effected pursuant to
Section 4.1(a), the Collateral Trustee shall comply with the written request of the Company or such other Grantor to comply with the requirements of such UCC provision. 
 SECTION 4.4 Release of Liens in Respect of Notes. 
 The Collateral

 (a) upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture
as set forth under Article 11 of the Indenture; 
 (b) upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes as set forth
under Article 8 of the Indenture; 
 (c) upon payment in full and discharge of all Notes outstanding under the Indenture and all

Indenture; or 
 (e) if applicable, as and when required in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. 

ARTICLE 5. IMMUNITIES OF THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 5.1 No Implied Duty. 
 The Collateral Trustee will not have any
duties, responsibilities or obligations other than those expressly assumed by it in this Agreement and the other Parity Lien Security Documents to which it is a party. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to take any action that is contrary
to applicable law or any provision of this Agreement or the other Parity Lien Security Documents to which it is a party or that may involve it in personal liability. 
 SECTION 5.2 Appointment of Agents and Advisors. 
 The Collateral Trustee may
execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisors selected by it in good faith as it may reasonably require and will
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any of them. 

  
 24 

 SECTION 5.3 Other Agreements. 

The Collateral Trustee has accepted and is bound by the Parity Lien Security Documents executed by the Collateral
Trustee as of the date of this Agreement and, as directed by an Act of Required Debtholders, at the request of the Company or as required under any Parity Lien Document, the Collateral Trustee shall execute additional Parity Lien Security
Documents delivered to it after the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that such additional Parity Lien Security Documents do not adversely affect the rights, privileges, benefits and immunities of the Collateral Trustee. Nothing
contained in this 5.3 shall be deemed to limit the Collateral Trustee’s rights to execute amendments to Parity Lien Security Documents as set forth in Section 7.1 herein. The Collateral Trustee will not otherwise be bound by, or be held
obligated by, the provisions of any credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing Parity Lien Debt (other than this Agreement, the other Parity Lien Security Documents to which it is a party and any such documents executed by the
Collateral Trustee). 
 SECTION 5.4 Solicitation of Instructions. 

(a) The Collateral Trustee may at any time solicit written confirmatory instructions, in the form of an Act of Required Debtholders, an
Officers’ Certificate or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, as to any action that it may be requested to take, or that it may propose to take, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Parity
Lien Security Document. 
 (b) No written direction given to the Collateral Trustee by an Act of Required Debtholders that in
the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Trustee imposes, purports to impose or might reasonably be expected to impose upon the Collateral Trustee any obligation or liability not set forth in or arising under this Agreement and the other Parity
Lien Security Documents will be binding upon the Collateral Trustee unless the Collateral Trustee elects, at its sole option, to accept such direction. The acceptance of such direction may be conditioned upon the delivery to the Collateral Trustee
of security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any and all costs, losses, liabilities or expenses that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such direction. 

SECTION 5.5 Limitation of Liability. 
 The Collateral Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any Parity Lien Security Document, except for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final order not subject to appeal. 
 SECTION 5.6
Documents in Satisfactory Form. 

  
 25 

 The Collateral Trustee will be entitled to require that all agreements, certificates,
opinions, instruments and other documents at any time submitted to it, including those expressly provided for in this Agreement, be delivered to it in a form and with substantive provisions reasonably satisfactory to it. 

SECTION 5.7 Entitled to Rely. 
 The Collateral Trustee may seek and rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel, independent consultants
and other experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it by the Company or any other Grantor in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or delivered to it by any Parity
Lien Representative as to the holders of Parity Lien Obligations for whom it acts, without being required to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of service thereof. The
Collateral Trustee may act in reliance upon any instrument comporting with the provisions of this Agreement or any signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or
make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof or the other Parity Lien Security Documents has been duly authorized to do so. To the extent an Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel is required or
permitted under this Agreement to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee in respect of any matter, the Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on an Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel as to such matter and such Officers’
Certificate or opinion of counsel shall be full warranty and protection to the Collateral Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Parity Lien Security Documents. 

SECTION 5.8 Parity Lien Debt Default. 
 The Collateral Trustee will not be required to inquire as to the occurrence or absence of any Parity Lien Debt Default and will not be affected by or required to act upon any notice or knowledge as to the
occurrence of any Parity Lien Debt Default unless and until it is directed by an Act of Required Debtholders. 
 SECTION 5.9
Actions by Collateral Trustee. 
 As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Parity Lien
Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee will act or refrain from acting as directed by an Act of Required Debtholders and will be fully protected if it does so, and any action taken, suffered or omitted pursuant hereto or thereto shall be binding
on the Secured Parties. 
 SECTION 5.10 Security or Indemnity in Favor of the Collateral Trustee. 

The Collateral Trustee will not be required to advance or expend any funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of its duties or the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder unless it has been provided with pre-funding, security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any and all cost, loss, liability or expense which may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take such action. 

  
 26 

 SECTION 5.11 Rights of the Collateral Trustee. 

In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and those set forth in any other Parity Lien
Security Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other Parity Lien Security Document. In the event there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other
parties to this Agreement or any of the other Parity Lien Security Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral held by the Collateral Trustee and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Parity Lien Security
Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Collateral Trustee is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the Collateral Trustee is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not
to take hereunder or under the other Parity Lien Security Documents, it will be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed otherwise (subject to Section 5.10) in writing by a request
signed jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

SECTION 5.12 Limitations on Duty of Collateral Trustee in Respect of Collateral. 

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession, and to account to the Secured Parties and the
Grantors for moneys and other property received by it hereunder or under any Parity Lien Document and any other duties expressly set forth in the Parity Lien Documents, the Collateral Trustee will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession
or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for filing any
financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Liens on the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee will be deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Collateral Trustee will not be liable or responsible for
any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Trustee in good faith and with due care. 

(b) The Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity,
perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company or any other Grantor to the
Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to
the present and future Secured Parties concerning the perfection of the Liens granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral. 

  
 27 

 SECTION 5.13 Assumption of Rights, Not Assumption of Duties. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: 

(i) each of the parties thereto will remain liable under each of the Parity Lien Security Documents (other than this
Agreement) to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed; 

(ii) the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder will not release such
parties from any of their respective duties or obligations under the other Parity Lien Security Documents; and 

(iii) the Collateral Trustee will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any of the parties
thereunder other than those of the Collateral Trustee. 
 SECTION 5.14 No Liability for Clean Up of Hazardous Materials.

 In the event that the Collateral Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial
action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Trustee to be considered an “owner or
operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Trustee to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Trustee reserves the right,
instead of taking such action, either to resign as Collateral Trustee or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Trustee will not be liable to any Person for any environmental
liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any
kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment. 
 ARTICLE 6.

 (a) the Collateral Trustee may resign at any time by giving not less than 45 days’ notice
of resignation to each Parity Lien Representative and the Company, provided that such notice period may be waived by each Parity Lien Representative and the Company; 

  
 28 

 (b) the Collateral Trustee may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by an Act of
Required Debtholders; and 
 (c) the Collateral Trustee shall be removed by the Company concurrently with the incurrence of any
Series of Parity Lien Debt or Priority Lien Debt that results in non-compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 6.2(d) by giving notice to the Collateral Trustee and each Parity Lien Representative. 

SECTION 6.2 Appointment of Successor Collateral Trustee. 
 Upon any such resignation or removal, a successor Collateral Trustee may be appointed by an Act of Required Debtholders, which must be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America or of any state thereof: 
 (a) authorized to exercise corporate trustee powers;

 If no successor Collateral Trustee
has been so appointed and accepted such appointment within 60 days after the predecessor Collateral Trustee gave notice of resignation or was removed, the retiring Collateral Trustee may (at the expense of the Company), at its option, appoint a
successor Collateral Trustee, or petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee meeting the requirements set forth in the preceding paragraph. 

The Collateral Trustee will fulfill its obligations hereunder until a successor Collateral Trustee meeting the requirements of this
Section 6.2 has accepted its appointment as Collateral Trustee and the provisions of Section 6.3 have been satisfied.

its duties and obligations hereunder; and 
 (b) the predecessor Collateral Trustee will (at the expense of the Company)
promptly transfer all Liens and collateral security and other property of the Trust Estate within 

  
 29 

 
its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Trustee and will execute instruments and assignments as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the
successor Collateral Trustee to transfer to the successor Collateral Trustee all Liens, interests, rights, powers and remedies of the predecessor Collateral Trustee in respect of the Parity Lien Security Documents or the Trust Estate. 

Thereafter the predecessor Collateral Trustee will remain entitled to enforce the immunities granted to it in Article 5 and the provisions of
Sections 7.9 and 7.10. 
 SECTION 6.4 Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of Collateral Trustee. 

Any Person into which the Collateral Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Collateral Trustee shall be the successor of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3, provided that
without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, such Person satisfies the eligibility requirements specified in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 6.2. 
 ARTICLE 7. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 SECTION 7.1 Amendment. 

(a) No amendment or supplement to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Parity Lien Security Document will be effective without
the approval of the Collateral Trustee acting as directed by an Act of Required Debtholders, except that any amendment or supplement that has the effect solely of (i) adding or maintaining Collateral, securing additional Parity Lien Debt or
preserving, perfecting or establishing the priority of the Liens thereon or the rights of the Collateral Trustee therein, (ii) curing any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (iii) providing for the assumption of the Company’s or any
other Grantor’s Obligations under any Parity Lien Security Document in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or such other Grantor, as applicable; or (iv) making any change
that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of Parity Lien Obligations or the Collateral Trustee or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture or any other Parity Lien Document of any holder of Parity
Lien Obligations or the Collateral Trustee, will, in each case, become effective when executed and delivered by the Company and any other applicable Grantor party thereto and the Collateral Trustee. 

(b) No amendment or supplement to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Parity Lien Security Document that: 

(i) reduces, impairs or adversely affects the right of any holder of Parity Lien Obligations: 

  
 30 

 (A) to vote its outstanding Parity Lien Debt as to any matter described as
subject to an Act of Required Debtholders or direction by the Required Debtholders, 
 (B) to share in the order
of application described in Section 3.4 in the proceeds of enforcement of or realization on any Collateral that has not been released in accordance with the provisions described in Section 4.1, or 

(C) to require that Liens securing Parity Lien Obligations be released only as set forth in the provisions described in
Section 4.1, or 
 (ii) amends the provisions of this clause (b) or the definition of “Act of
Required Debtholders” or “Required Debtholders”. 
 will become effective without the consent of the requisite
percentage or number of holders of each Series of Parity Lien Debt so affected under the applicable Parity Lien Documents. 

(c) No amendment or supplement to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Parity Lien Security Document that imposes any obligation
upon the Collateral Trustee or any Parity Lien Representative or adversely affects the rights of the Collateral Trustee or any Parity Lien Representative, respectively in its individual capacity as such will become effective without the consent of
the Collateral Trustee or such Parity Lien Representative, as applicable. 
 (d) Any amendment or supplement to the provisions
of this Agreement or any other Parity Lien Security Document that releases Collateral will be effective only if consent to such release is granted in accordance with the applicable Parity Lien Document for each Series of Parity Lien Debt that is
required to consent to the release of the Collateral Trustee’s liens on such Collateral in Section 4.1. Any amendment or supplement that results in the Collateral Trustee’s Liens upon the Collateral no longer securing the Notes and
all related Note Obligations under the Indenture may only be effected in accordance with Section 4.4. 
 (e) The Company
may direct the Collateral Trustee to amend, supplement, modify, restate, renew or replace the Intercreditor Agreement, or enter into a new intercreditor agreement in substantially the same form as the Intercreditor Agreement in effect as of the date
hereof; provided that the changes made by such amendment, supplement, modification, restatement, renewal, replacement or new intercreditor agreement, taken together with all other changes (whenever and however made) to the Intercreditor
Agreement in effect as of the date hereof, are not materially adverse to any holder of Parity Lien Obligations as so certified in an Officers’ Certificate. 
 (f) The Collateral Trustee will not enter into any amendment or supplement to this Agreement or any other Parity Lien Security Document unless it has received an Officers’ Certificate to the effect
that such amendment or supplement will not result in a breach of any provision or covenant contained in any of the Parity Lien Documents. Prior to executing any amendment or supplement pursuant to this Section 7.1, the Collateral Trustee will
be entitled to receive an opinion of counsel of the Company (which may be provided by internal counsel to the Company) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee, to the effect that the

  
 31 

 
execution of such document is authorized or permitted hereunder, and with respect to amendments adding Collateral, an opinion of counsel of the Company, in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Trustee, addressing customary perfection, and if such additional Collateral consists of equity interests of any Person, priority matters with respect to such additional Collateral (subject to customary qualifications and assumptions).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written direction from the Company following the incurrence of Priority Lien Debt at any time when the Intercreditor Agreement is in effect, the Collateral Trustee will execute any amendments and/or supplements to
the Parity Lien Security Document necessary to effect the lien subordination contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement. 

SECTION 7.2 Voting. 
 In connection with any matter under this Agreement requiring a vote of holders of Parity Debt, each Series of Parity Lien Debt will cast its votes in accordance with the Parity Lien Documents governing
such Series of Parity Lien Debt and as contemplated by the definition of Required Debtholders hereunder. Following and in accordance with the outcome of the applicable vote under its Parity Lien Documents, the Notes Trustee and each other applicable
Parity Lien Representative of each Series of Parity Lien Debt will cast all of its votes as a block in respect of any vote under this Agreement. Any direction in writing delivered to the Collateral Trustee by or with the written consent of the
Required Debtholders (a) shall set forth the aggregate amount of Parity Lien Obligations owed by the Grantors to the Secured Parties represented by the Notes Trustee and by each Parity Lien Representative under the applicable Parity Lien
Documents, calculated as of the date of determination and in accordance with the definition of Required Debtholders hereunder, and (b) shall be binding upon all of the Secured Parties, unless the matter which is the subject of the applicable
vote requires, pursuant to the terms hereof, the consent of all holders of Parity Lien Obligations. 
 SECTION 7.3 Further
Assurances; Insurance. 
 (a) The Company and each of the other Grantors will do or cause to be done all acts and things
that may be required, or that the Collateral Trustee from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that the Collateral Trustee holds, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly created and enforceable and perfected Liens upon the
Collateral, (including any property or assets that are acquired or otherwise become Collateral after the date hereof), in each case as contemplated by, and with the Lien priority required under, the Parity Lien Documents. 

(b) Upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Trustee, the Notes Trustee or any other Parity Lien Representative at any time and from
time to time, the Company and each of the other Grantors will promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such security documents, instruments, certificates, notices and other documents, and take such other actions as may be reasonably required, or
that the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, to create, perfect, protect, assure or enforce the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred, in each case as contemplated by the Parity Lien Documents for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

  
 32 

 (c) The Company and the other Grantors will maintain such other insurance as may be required
by the Parity Lien Documents.

Collateral Trustee, the Company and the other Grantors will permit the Collateral Trustee or any of its agents or representatives, at reasonable times and intervals upon reasonable prior notice during regular business hours, to visit their offices
and sites and inspect any of the Collateral and to discuss matters relating to the Collateral with their respective officers and independent public accountants. The Company and the other Grantors shall, at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice during regular business hours, permit the Collateral Trustee or any of its agents or representatives to examine and make copies of and abstracts from the records and books of account of the Company and the other Grantors
and their respective subsidiaries, all at the Company’s expense. 
 SECTION 7.4 Successors and Assigns; Third Party
Beneficiaries. 
 (a) Except as provided in Section 5.2, the Collateral Trustee may not, in its capacity as such,
delegate any of its duties or assign any of its rights hereunder, and any attempted delegation or assignment of any such duties or rights will be null and void. All obligations of the Collateral Trustee hereunder will inure to the sole and exclusive

of its rights hereunder, and any attempted delegation or assignment of any such duties or rights will be null and void. All obligations of the Company and the other Grantors hereunder will inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of, and be
enforceable by, the Collateral Trustee, each Parity Lien Representative and each present and future holder of Parity Lien Obligations, each of whom will be entitled to enforce this Agreement as a third-party beneficiary hereof, and all of their
respective successors and assigns.

This Agreement will be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against the

rescinded or must otherwise be returned in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise by any holder of Priority Lien Obligations or Priority Lien Collateral Agent or any representative of any such party (whether by demand, settlement,
litigation or otherwise). In the event that all or any part of a payment or distribution made with respect to the Priority Lien Obligations is recovered from any holder of Priority Lien Obligations or any Priority Lien Collateral Agent in an
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, such payment or distribution received by any holder of Parity Lien Obligations or Parity Lien Representative with respect to the Parity Lien Obligations from the proceeds of any Collateral or any
title insurance policy required by any real property mortgage at any time after the date of the payment or distribution that is so recovered, whether pursuant to a right of subrogation or otherwise, that Parity Lien Representative or that holder of
a Parity Lien Obligation, as the case may be, will forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Trustee, for the account of the holders of the Priority Lien Obligations, to be applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Intercreditor
Agreement. Until so delivered, such proceeds will be held by that Parity Lien Representative or that holder of a Parity Lien Obligation, as the case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the Priority Lien Obligations. 

SECTION 7.22 Rights and Immunities of Parity Lien Representatives. 

The Notes Trustee will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the Indenture, and any
future Parity Lien Representative will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing the applicable Parity Lien Debt with respect to which such

Grantor or the Collateral Trustee hereunder.
