therein, together with all related notes, letters of credit, collateral documents, guarantees, and any other related agreements and instruments executed and delivered in connection therewith, in each case as amended, modified, supplemented,
restated, refinanced, refunded or replaced in whole or in part from time to time including by or pursuant to any agreement or instrument that extends the maturity of any Debt thereunder, or increases the amount of available borrowings thereunder
(provided that such increase in borrowings is permitted under clause (i) or (xvii) of the definition of the term “Permitted Debt”), or adds Subsidiaries of the Parent as additional borrowers or guarantors thereunder, in
each case with respect to such agreement or any successor or replacement agreement and whether by the same or any other agent, lender, group of lenders, purchasers or debt holders.

 -2- 

 (b) the acquisition by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of the assets of any Person
which constitute all or substantially all of the assets of such Person, any division or line of business of such Person or any other properties or assets of such Person other than in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past
practices. 
 “Asset Sale” means any transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition (including, without
limitation, dispositions pursuant to any consolidation or merger) by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to any Person (other than to the Parent or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries) in any single transaction or series of
transactions of:

(g) a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment that is otherwise permitted by this Indenture; 

(h) any trade-in of equipment in exchange for other equipment; provided that in the good faith judgment of the Parent, the Parent
or such Restricted Subsidiary receives equipment having a fair market value equal to or greater than the equipment being traded in; 

(i) the concurrent purchase and sale or exchange of Related Business Assets or a combination of Related Business Assets between the

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
shall take delivery of a beneficial ownership interest in a QIB Global Note bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.6(e) hereof); and (ii) an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuers. Following the
termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the
authentication of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee shall 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 interest as hereinafter provided.

  

 -40- 

 
The QIB Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note shall each be issued with separate CUSIP numbers. Transfers of Notes between QIBs and to or by purchasers pursuant to Regulation S shall be
represented by appropriate increases and decreases to the respective amounts of the appropriate Global Note, as more fully provided in Section 2.16. 

(c) Section 2.1(b) shall apply only to Global Notes deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee. 

The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Holder, any member of (or a participant in) DTC or any other Person with
respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC (or its nominee) or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the
payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to the Notes. The Trustee may rely (and shall be fully protected in relying) upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members,
participants and any Beneficial Owners in the Notes. 
 (d) Notes issued in certificated form, including Global Notes, shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. 
 SECTION 2.2. Execution and Authentication. 

An Officer shall sign the Notes for the Issuers by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless
be valid. 
 A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee.
The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee shall, upon
receipt of a written order of the Issuers signed by one Officer directing the Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Notes and certifying that all conditions precedent to the issuance of the Notes contained herein have been complied with (an
“Authentication Order”) and an Opinion of Counsel, authenticate Notes for original issue up to the aggregate principal amount stated in paragraph 4 of the Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may
not exceed such amount except as provided in Section 2.17 hereof. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent
reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers. 
  

 -41- 

 SECTION 2.3. Registrar; Paying Agent. 

The Issuers shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment to a Paying Agent. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (the “Note Register”) and of their transfer and
exchange. The Issuers may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents; provided, however, that at all times there shall be only one Note Register. 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 shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party
to this Indenture. The Parent, the Issuers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The
Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and initially appoint the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as the office or agency of the Issuers for such purposes and as the office or agency of the Issuers where
notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served and the Trustee as the agent of the Issuers to receive such notices and demands. 

The Issuers initially appoint DTC to act as the Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 

SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Issuers in making any such payment. While any such
Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent
(if other than the Issuers or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If an Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as
Paying Agent. Upon the occurrence of events specified in Section 6.1(9) hereof, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

SECTION 2.5. Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven (7) 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, including the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by each Holder thereof, and
the Issuers shall otherwise comply with TIA § 3 12(a). 
  

 -42- 

 SECTION 2.6. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. 

(a) Each Global Note constituting a Restricted Note shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Notes or
the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as Note Custodian and (iii) bear legends as required by Section 2.6(e). 

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with
respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee as the absolute
owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuers, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. 

(b) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its
successors or their respective nominees. Interests of Beneficial Owners (or the requesting Beneficial Owners in the case of clause (ii) immediately below) in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with Section 2.16 and the rules
and procedures of the Depositary. In addition, Certificated Notes shall be transferred to all Beneficial Owners in exchange for their beneficial interests if (i) the Depositary notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for the Global Notes or the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuers within ninety (90) days of such notice or (ii) an
Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual notice has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary or a Beneficial Owner in a Global Note to issue such Certificated Notes.

 (c) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to clause (b) of this
Section, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuers shall execute, and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each Beneficial Owner identified
by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations. 

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

(e) Legends. The following legends shall appear on the face of all Global Notes and Certificated Notes issued under this Indenture
unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture: 
 (i) Restricted Notes
Legend. Unless and until (x) a Note is exchanged for an Exchange Note or sold in connection with an effective shelf registration statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or (y) the Parent determines and there is

  

 -43-

following legend and the related restrictions on transfer are not required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, each Global Note and each Certificated Note (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or
substitution therefor) shall bear the legend in substantially the following form: 
 “THE SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR)

APPLICABLE JURISDICTION, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER FROM IT OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN (A) ABOVE. NO REPRESENTATION CAN BE MADE AS

(ii) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note, whether or not an Exchange Note, Restricted Global Note or Unrestricted
Global Note, shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS

AMONG WELLS FARGO FOOTHILL, LLC, AS SENIOR ABL AGENT, WELLS FARGO FOOTHILL, LLC, AS SENIOR TERM LOAN AGENT, AND DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, AS JUNIOR AGENT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND
THIS PROMISSORY NOTE, THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.” 
 (v) At such
time as all beneficial interests in Global Notes have been exchanged for Certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, all Global Notes shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11
hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced
accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction. 

(f) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, shall authenticate Global Notes and Certificated Notes at the Registrar’s request. 

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such stamp or transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to
Sections 2.10, 3.6, 4.10, 4.14, 4.20 and 9.5 hereto). 
 (iii) All Global Notes and Certificated Notes issued
upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Certificated Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuers, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Certificated
Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (iv) The Registrar shall not be required
(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange Notes during a period beginning at the opening of fifteen (15) days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.2 hereof and ending at the close of
business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (C) to register the transfer of
or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date. 
 (v) [Reserved].

  

 -46- 

 (vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any
Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuers may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other
purposes, and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor the Issuers shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(vii) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Certificated Notes in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.2 hereof. Except as provided in Section 2.6(b), neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall authenticate or deliver any Certificated Note in exchange for a Global Note. 

(viii) Each Holder agrees to provide reasonable indemnity satisfactory to the Issuers and the Trustee against any
liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Note in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law. 

(ix) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions
on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or Beneficial Owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to
require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to
form with the express requirements hereof. 
 SECTION 2.7. Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Issuers and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements set forth in Section 2.2 are met. If required by the Trustee or
the Issuers, 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 and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every
replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 

SECTION 2.8. Outstanding Notes. 

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled 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 2.8 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.9 hereof, a
Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers holds the Note. 
  

 -47- 

 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding
unless the Trustee receives documentation that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of
any Note is considered paid under Section 4.1 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 

If the Paying Agent (other than an Issuer, the Parent, 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 shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 

SECTION 2.9. Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Notes owned by the Parent or by any Affiliate of the Parent shall be considered as though not outstanding, except for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Parent or an Affiliate of the Parent pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such Notes
passes to such entity. 
 SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes. 

Until Certificated Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes upon receipt
of an Authentication Order. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the
Trustee shall upon receipt of a written order of the Issuers signed by two Officers authenticate Certificated Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 

Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. 

The Issuers at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder or which
the Issuers may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation. Subject to Section 2.7 hereof, the Issuers may not issue
new Notes to replace Notes that they have redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary practice, and certification of
their disposal delivered to the Issuers, unless by a written order, signed by an Officer of the Issuers, the Issuers shall direct that cancelled Notes be returned to it. 
  

 -48- 

 SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. 

If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, they shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the
extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at the earliest practicable date but in all events at least five (5) Business Days prior to the
payment date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 hereof. The Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date and shall promptly thereafter notify the Trustee of any such date.
At least fifteen (15) days before the special record date, the Issuers (or the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) shall 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. 
 SECTION 2.13. Record Date. 

The record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent
authorized or permitted under this Indenture shall be determined as provided for in TIA § 3 16(c). 
 SECTION 2.14. Computation of
Interest. 
 Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

 SECTION 2.15. CUSIP Number. 

The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use a “CUSIP” and/or ISIN or other similar number, and if they do so, the Issuers may use
the CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP and/or ISIN
or other similar number printed in the notice or on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP and/or ISIN or
other similar number. 
 SECTION 2.16. Special Transfer Provisions. 

Unless and until a Restricted Note is exchanged for an Exchange Note or sold in connection with an effective shelf registration statement
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the following provisions shall apply: 
 (a) Transfers to QIBs. The
following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Restricted Note (other than pursuant to Regulation S): 

(i) The Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Note by a Holder to a QIB if such transfer is being made by
a proposed transferor who has provided the Registrar with (a) an appropriately completed certificate of transfer in the form attached to the Note and (b) a letter substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto. 

 

 -49- 

 (ii) If the proposed transferee is an Agent Member and the Restricted Note
to be transferred consists of an interest in the Regulation S Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the items required by paragraph (i) above and (y) instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the
Registrar’s procedures therefor, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the QIB Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the
Regulation S Global Note to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an appropriate decrease in the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note. 

(b) Transfers Pursuant to Regulation S. The following provisions shall apply with respect to registration of any proposed transfer of a
Restricted Note pursuant to Regulation S: 
 (i) The Registrar shall register any proposed transfer of a
Restricted Note pursuant to Regulation S by a Holder upon receipt from the proposed transferor of (a) an appropriately completed certificate of transfer in the form attached to the Note and (b) a letter substantially in the form set forth
in Exhibit D hereto. 
 (ii) If the proposed transferee is an Agent Member and the Restricted Note to be
transferred consists of an interest in a QIB Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the items required by paragraph (i) above and (y) instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s
procedures therefor, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the QIB Global Note
to be transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an appropriate decrease in the principal amount of such QIB Global Note. 

(c) Exchange Offer. Upon the occurrence of the Exchange Offer in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuers
shall issue and in accordance with Section 2.2, the Trustee shall authenticate, one or more Global Notes not bearing the Restricted Notes Legend in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interests in the
Global Notes that are Restricted Notes tendered for acceptance in accordance with the Exchange Offer and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer. Concurrently with the issuance of such Global Notes, the Registrar shall cause the aggregate
principal amount of the applicable Restricted Notes to be reduced accordingly, and the Registrar shall deliver to the Persons designated by the Holders of Restricted Notes so accepted Global Notes not bearing the Restricted Notes Legend in the
appropriate principal amount. 
 (d) Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Unrestricted
Notes, the Registrar shall deliver Unrestricted Notes that do not bear the Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Restricted Notes, the Registrar shall deliver only Restricted Notes that bear the Restricted Notes
Legend unless the Restricted Notes Legend is no longer required by Section 2.6(e), or the Parent determines and there is delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and a letter of representation of the
Issuers reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required or appropriate in order to ensure that subsequent transfers of the Notes are effected in compliance with the
Securities Act. 
  

 -50- 

 (e) General. By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Restricted Notes Legend, each
Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Restricted Notes Legend and agrees that it shall transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture. 

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 2.16.

than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price, amount of interest payable on the first interest payment date applicable thereto and any customary escrow provisions (and, if such Additional Notes shall be issued in the form of Restricted
Notes, other than with respect to transfer restrictions, any registration rights and additional interest with respect thereto); provided that such issuance is not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture, including Section 4.9. The
Initial Notes and any Additional Notes and all Exchange Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture. 

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuers shall each set forth in a resolution of their respective Boards of Directors and in an
Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information and documents:

Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.
On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. The Trustee shall make the selection from the Notes outstanding and not previously called for redemption and shall promptly notify the
Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of the Notes that have denominations larger than $2,000. 

SECTION 3.3. Notice of Redemption. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.9, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuers shall send
or cause to be sent by electronic transmission or by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed. 

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

(1) the redemption date; 

(2) the Redemption Price; 
  

 -52- 

 (3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal
amount of such Notes 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 shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; 

(4) the name, telephone number 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, if any, on Notes called for redemption
ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (7) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this
Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (8) that no representation
is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 At the
Issuers’ request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ name and at the Issuers’ expense; provided, however, that the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee at least 45 days prior to the
redemption date (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in the notices as provided in the preceding
paragraph. The notice sent in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not a Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by electronic transmission or by mail or any
defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Note. 

The Issuers may provide in any notice delivered in connection with any such redemption that payment of the redemption price and
performance of the Issuers’ obligations may be performed by another Person; provided that the Issuers shall not be relieved of their obligations thereby. 

SECTION 3.4. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and
payable on the redemption date at the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding such date. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. 

SECTION 3.5. Deposit of Funds for Payment of Redemption Price. 

On or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each redemption date or the date on which Notes must be accepted for purchase pursuant to
Section 4.10, 4.14 or 4.20, the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (other than the Issuers or an Affiliate of an Issuer) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if

  

 -53- 

 
any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuers, upon written request, including the transfer instructions, any
money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of (including any applicable premium), and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

 If Notes called for redemption or tendered pursuant to an Offer to Purchase are paid or the Issuers have deposited with the
Trustee or Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and unpaid and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest, if any, shall cease to
accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or tendered and not withdrawn in an Offer to Purchase (regardless of whether certificates for such securities are actually surrendered). 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, if any, 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 shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal amount from the redemption or purchase date
until such principal amount is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal amount, in each case, at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 hereof. 

SECTION 3.6. Notes Redeemed in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuers shall issue and in accordance with Section 2.2, the Trustee shall
authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered. 

SECTION 3.7. Optional Redemption. 

(a) The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to December 15, 2012, at the option of the Issuers upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and
accrued and unpaid interest to, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

(b) In addition, the Notes are subject to redemption, at the option of the Issuers, in whole or in part, at any time on or after
December 15, 2012, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not
including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the 12-month period
beginning on December 15 of the years indicated: 
  

				
	 Year

	 2012
	  	103.875	% 
	 2013
	  	101.938	% 
	 2014 and thereafter
	  	100.000	%

 (c) In addition to the optional redemption provisions of the Notes in accordance with the
provisions of the preceding paragraphs, prior to December 15, 2012, the Issuers may, with the net proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes) at a Redemption Price equal to 107.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption; provided that at least 65% of the principal amount of
Notes then outstanding (including Additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of any such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Issuers or their Subsidiaries) and that any such redemption occurs within 90 days following
the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering. 
 (d) In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to
December 15, 2012, the Issuers may redeem up to 10% per year of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 103.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the applicable redemption date. 
 (e) The Parent and its Subsidiaries may, at any time and from time to time,
purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, subject to compliance with this Indenture and compliance with all applicable securities laws. 

SECTION 3.8. Mandatory Redemption. 

Except as set forth in Sections 4.10, 4.14 and 4.20 hereof, neither the Parent nor the Issuers shall be required to make mandatory
redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
 SECTION 3.9. Offer to Purchase. 

In the event that the Issuers shall be required to commence an Offer to Purchase pursuant to Section 4.10, 4.14 or 4.20, the Issuers
shall follow the procedures specified below. 
 Unless otherwise required by applicable law, an Offer to Purchase shall specify
an expiration date (the “Expiration Date”) of the Offer to Purchase, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, not less than 30 days or more than 60 days after the date of delivering of such Offer, and
a settlement date (the “Purchase Date”) for the purchase of Notes within five (5) Business Days after the Expiration Date. On the Purchase Date, the Issuers shall purchase the aggregate principal amount of Notes required to be
purchased pursuant to Section 4.10, 4.14 or 4.20 hereof (the “Offer Amount”), or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Offer to Purchase. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall
be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. If the Purchase Date is on or after the interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a
Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest, if any, shall be payable to the Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee at least 15 days (or such
shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee in its sole discretion) prior 
  

 -55- 

 
to the delivering of the Offer of the Issuers’ obligation to make an Offer to Purchase, and the Offer shall be sent electronically or mailed by the Issuers or, at the Issuers’ request,
by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers. The Offer shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. 

On or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Purchase Date, the Issuers shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or Paying
Agent (other than the Issuers or an Affiliate of an Issuer) immediately available funds equal to the Offer Amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to be held for payment in accordance with the terms of this
Section 3.9. On the Purchase Date, the Issuers shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes
tendered, (ii) deliver or cause the Paying Agent or Depositary, as the case may be, to deliver to the Trustee the Notes so accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof
were accepted for payment by the Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.9. The Issuers, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than three (3) Business 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 Issuers for purchase, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and the Issuers shall
issue and in accordance with Section 2.2, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of such Holder’s Notes surrendered; provided that
each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuers to the Holder thereof. The Issuers shall publicly announce
in a newspaper of general circulation or in a press release provided to a nationally recognized financial wire service the results of the Offer to Purchase on the Purchase Date to the extent permitted by applicable laws. 

The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of any applicable securities laws and any regulations thereunder to the extent such laws
and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of an Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with Sections 3.9, 4.10, 4.14 or 4.20 of this
Indenture, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under Section 3.9, 4.10, 4.14 or 4.20, as applicable, by virtue of such compliance. 

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.9, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall be made pursuant to
the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof. 
 SECTION 3.10. Redemption for Tax Reasons. 

(a) The Issuers may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at their discretion at any time upon giving not less than 30 nor more than
60 days’ prior notice to the Holders of the Notes (which notice will be irrevocable), at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of redemption, and all Additional Amounts
(if any) then due and which will become due on the date of redemption as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date
and Additional Amounts (if any) in 
  

 -56- 

 
respect thereof), if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, an Issuer has become or would become obligated to pay any Additional Amounts in respect of the
Notes, and such Issuer cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it, and the requirement arises as a result of: 

(i) any change in or amendment to the laws (or regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a relevant Tax
Jurisdiction, or 
 (ii) any change in or amendment to any official position regarding the application or
interpretation of the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of any relevant Tax Jurisdiction, 
 which change or amendment is announced and
becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable relevant Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date). 

(b) Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuers
will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect that there has been such amendment or change which would entitle the Issuers to redeem the Notes hereunder. In addition, before the Issuers publish or mail notice of
redemption of the Notes as described above, they will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that they cannot avoid their obligation to pay Additional Amounts by the Issuers taking reasonable measures available to them.

 -57- 

 
thereto) (“Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law in any applicable jurisdiction or political subdivision thereof. If any
deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of (1) any jurisdiction in which an Issuer or any Guarantor is then organized, engaged in business for tax purposes or resident for tax purposes or any
political subdivision thereof or therein having the power to tax or (2) any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of an Issuer or any Guarantor or any political subdivision thereof or therein having the power to tax
(each, a “Tax Jurisdiction”) shall at any time be required to be made from any payments made by an Issuer under or with respect to the Notes or any of the Guarantors with respect to any Guarantee, including payments of principal,

not have been imposed but for the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes being or having been a “10-percent shareholder” of Bumble Bee Foods, LLC, Bumble Bee Capital Corp. or Bumble Bee Holdings, Inc. as defined in section 871(h)(3) of
the Code, or any successor provision;

identification, information or other reporting requirements, whether required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Tax Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding
of, Taxes imposed by the Tax Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the Holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Tax Jurisdiction), but in each case, only to the extent the holder or beneficial owner is legally
entitled to provide such certification or documentation; 
  

 -58- 

 (E) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax
or any similar Taxes; 
 (F) if such Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or person other than the sole
beneficial owner of such payment and the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed on such payment had such holder been the beneficiary, partner or sole beneficial owner, as the case may be, of such Note (but only if
there is no material cost or expense associated with transferring such Note to such beneficiary, partner or sole beneficial owner and no restriction on such transfer that is outside the control of such beneficiary, partner or sole beneficial owner);

 (G) to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed but for the
presentation by the Holder of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

 (H) any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment to an individual and that is required to made

Savings Tax Directive”) or is required to be made pursuant to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation dated October 26, 2004 providing for the measures equivalent to those laid down in the EU Savings
Tax Directive (the “EU-Swiss Savings Tax Agreement”) or any law or other governmental regulation implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such agreement; or 

(I) any combination of the above clauses in this Section 4.1 (c)(i). 

(ii) The relevant Issuer or Guarantor, as applicable, shall also: 

(A) make such withholding or deduction, and 

(B) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(iii) The relevant Issuer or Guarantor, as applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Tax
receipts from each Tax authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld. The relevant Issuer or Guarantor, as applicable, shall furnish, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes are due pursuant to applicable law,
to the Trustee (or to a Holder of Notes upon request) certified copies of Tax receipts, if any, evidencing that such payment has been made by such Issuer or Guarantor, as the case may be, or if, notwithstanding such entity’s efforts to obtain
receipts, receipts are not obtained, other evidence of payments (reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) by such entity. 
  

 -59- 

 (iv) The Issuers and the Guarantors shall indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder of Notes that are outstanding on the date of the required payment from all Taxes (other than any Taxes excluded under clauses (A)-(I) of Section 4.1 (c)(i)) and upon written request reimburse each such Holder for the amount of:

 (A) any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Holder as a result of payments made under or with respect
to the Notes,

indemnify each Holder for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, transfer, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and any other liabilities related
thereto) which are levied by any jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, issuance, or registration of any of the Notes, this Indenture, any Guarantee or any other document referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect thereto, or
enforcement of, any of the Notes or any Guarantee. 
 (vi) At least 30 days prior to each date on which any
payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable, if an Issuer or a Guarantor becomes obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the relevant Issuer or Guarantor, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts shall be payable, and the amounts so payable and shall set forth such other information as is necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to the Holders of
the Notes on the payment date (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the relevant Issuer or Guarantor shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter).

section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. 

(viii) The above obligations shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture, any transfer by a
Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, and shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to an Issuer or any Guarantor is incorporated, engaged in business for tax purposes or resident for tax purposes or
any jurisdiction from or through which such Person makes any payment on the Notes (or any Guarantee) and any department or political subdivision thereof or therein.

The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) 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 shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. The Issuers hereby designate the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuers in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof. If at any time the
Issuers shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall 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
and the Issuers hereby appoint the Trustee their agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

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. The Issuers shall 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.

 The Issuers hereby designate the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuers in
accordance with Section 2.3 hereof.

the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or any successor system), within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations: 

(1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission

review of the activities of the Parent and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether each has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its
obligations under this Indenture (including, with respect to any Restricted Payments made during such year, the basis upon which the calculations required by Section 4.7 hereof were computed, which calculations may be based upon the
Parent’s latest available financial statements), and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that, to his or her knowledge, each entity is 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 shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Parent is taking or proposes to take

material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 
 SECTION 4.6. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Parent covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall 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 the Parent 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 shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted. 
 SECTION 4.7. Limitation
on Restricted Payments. 
 (a) The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, make any Restricted Payment unless, at the time of and after giving effect to the proposed Restricted Payment:

all Restricted Payments made on or after the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) (except for Management Fees), (xi) and (xii) of the next succeeding
paragraph), shall not exceed the sum (without duplication) of: 
 (1) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income (or, if
Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit) of the Parent accrued on a cumulative basis during the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first full fiscal quarter during which the Issue Date
occurs and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of such proposed Restricted Payment, plus 
  

 -63- 

 (2) 100% of the aggregate net proceeds (including the Fair Market Value of
property other than cash) received by the Parent subsequent to the Issue Date either (i) as a contribution to its common equity capital or (ii) from the issuance and sale (other than to a Subsidiary) of its Qualified Capital Interests,
including Qualified Capital Interests issued upon the conversion of Debt or Redeemable Capital Interests of the Parent, and from the exercise of options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Qualified Capital Interests (other than, in each
case, Capital Interests or Debt sold to a Subsidiary of the Parent) (other than net cash proceeds to the extent such net cash proceeds have been used to incur Debt pursuant to clause (xiii)(b) of the definition of “Permitted Debt”),
plus 
 (3) the amount by which Debt of the Parent is reduced on its balance sheet upon the conversion or
exchange (other than by a Subsidiary of the Parent) subsequent to the Issue Date of any Debt of the Parent into Qualified Capital Interests of the Parent (less the amount of any cash, or other property, distributed by the Parent upon such conversion
or exchange); plus 
 (4) 100% of the net reduction in Investments (other than Permitted Investments),
subsequent to the Issue Date, in any Person, resulting from (i) payments of interest on Debt, dividends, repayments of loans or advances, or any sale or disposition of such Investments (but only to the extent such items are not included in the

Investments previously made by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person subsequent to the Issue Date. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries may take the following actions; provided that, in the case of clause (iv) below of this Section 4.7(b), immediately after giving effect to such
action, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: 
 (i) the payment of any dividend on
Capital Interests in the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary within 60 days after the declaration thereof if at the declaration date such payment was permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.7; 

(ii) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of any Qualified Capital

agreement under which such Capital Interests were issued; provided that the aggregate cash consideration paid for such purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of such Capital Interests does not exceed $5.0 million in any calendar year;
provided, further, that any unused amounts in any calendar year may be carried forward to one or more future periods subject to a maximum aggregate amount of repurchases made pursuant to this clause (iv) not to exceed $10.0 million in any
calendar year; provided, 
 however, that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed (A) the cash
proceeds received by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from the sale of Qualified Capital Interests of the Parent or any direct or indirect parent of the Parent (to the extent contributed to the Parent) to employees of the Parent and
its Restricted Subsidiaries that occurs after the Issue Date; provided, further, however, that the amount of such cash proceeds utilized for any such repurchase, retirement, other acquisition or dividend will not increase the amount available
for Restricted Payments under (a)(iii) of this Section 4.7; plus (B) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date (provided, however, that the
Parent may elect to apply all or any portion of the aggregate increase contemplated by the proviso of this clause (iv) in any calendar year and, to the extent any payment described under this clause (iv) is made by delivery of Debt and not
in cash, such payment shall be deemed to occur only when, and to the extent, the obligor on such Debt makes payments with respect to such Debt); 

(v) repurchase of Capital Interests deemed to occur upon the cashless exercise of stock options, warrants or other
convertible or exchangeable securities; 
 (vi) the extension of credit that constitutes intercompany Debt, the

securities convertible into or exchangeable for the Capital Interests of the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary or any direct or indirect parent of the Parent; 

(viii) the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Redeemable Capital Interests of the
Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary issued or Incurred in compliance with Section 4.9 to the extent such dividends are included in the definition of “Consolidated Fixed Charges”; 

 

 -65- 

 (ix) so long as Canco is treated as a partnership or pass-through entity for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, make distributions (through any direct or indirect, wholly-owned Subsidiary of Connors) to Connors in an amount equal to the product of (A) the net taxable income of Connors attributable to its ownership in
Canco, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, for a particular taxable period after taking into account all available credits and deductions of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, and (B) the greater of
(x) the maximum combined United States federal, New York State and New York City tax rate applicable during such period to such item of income if included in income by an individual resident of New York City, and (y) the maximum combined
United States federal, New York State and New York City tax rate applicable during such period to such item of income if included as New York source income by a corporation doing business in New York City; provided that the Parent and its
Restricted Subsidiaries may make any such distribution no more frequently than four times per fiscal year; 
 (x)
make dividends or distributions to Connors for the purpose of permitting Connors to make the payments expressly permitted by Section 4.11(b)(x); 

(xi) Restricted Payments not to exceed $2.0 million per year to pay indemnities of officers and directors of any indirect
parent of the Parent (including payments in respect of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance), fees, costs and expenses of officers, managers and directors of any parent of the Parent and, without duplication of any other amounts
permitted hereunder, tax liabilities of (or attributable to) any parent of the Parent or to pay any other fees, costs and expenses of the Parent or any parent of the Parent (including any indemnities, fees, costs and expenses payable to the members
of the Board of Directors of the Parent, but excluding any fees, costs and expenses payable under the Management Agreement); and 

(xii) other Restricted Payments not in excess of $25.0 million in the aggregate since the Issue Date. 

(c) If the Parent makes a Restricted Payment which, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, in the good faith determination
of the Parent, would be permitted under the requirements of this Indenture, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Indenture notwithstanding any subsequent adjustment made in good faith to the Parent’s
financial statements affecting Consolidated Net Income. 
 (d) If any Person in which an Investment is made, which Investment
constitutes a Restricted Payment when made, thereafter becomes a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture, all such Investments previously made in such Person shall no longer be counted as Restricted Payments for purposes of
calculating the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments pursuant to (a)(iii) of this Section 4.7, in each case to the extent such Investments would otherwise be so counted. 

 

 -66- 

 (e) If the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary transfers, conveys, sells, leases or otherwise
disposes of an Investment in accordance with Section 4.10, which Investment was originally included in the aggregate amount expended or declared for all Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Restricted
Payments,” the aggregate amount expended or declared for all Restricted Payments shall be reduced by the lesser of (i) the Net Cash Proceeds from the transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition of such Investment or
(ii) the amount of the original Investment, in each case, to the extent originally included in the aggregate amount expended or declared for all Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Restricted
Payments.” 
 (f) For purposes of this Section 4.7, if a particular Restricted Payment involves a non-cash payment,
including a distribution of assets, then such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the cash portion of such Restricted Payment, if any, plus an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the non-cash portion of such Restricted
Payment. 
 (g) In the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Restricted Payments
described in the above clauses, including, without limitation, Section 4.7(a), the Issuers, in their sole discretion, may order and classify, and from time to time may reclassify, such Restricted Payment if it would have been permitted at the
time such Restricted Payment was made and at the time of such reclassification. 
 SECTION 4.8. Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment
Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (a) The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, cause or suffer to exist or become effective or enter into any encumbrance or restriction (other than pursuant to this Indenture or any law, rule, regulation or order) on the ability of any Restricted
Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Interests owned by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or pay any Debt or other obligation owed to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) make loans
or advances to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof or (iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary. 

(b) However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to the following encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

 (i) any encumbrance or restriction in existence on the Issue Date, including those required by the ABL Credit
Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings, in the good faith judgment of the Parent, are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend or other payment restrictions than those contained in
these agreements on the Issue Date or refinancings thereof; 
 (ii) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an
agreement relating to an acquisition of property, so long as the encumbrances or restrictions in any such agreement relate solely to the property so acquired (and are not or were not created in anticipation of or in connection with the acquisition
thereof); 
  

 -67- 

 (iii) any encumbrance or restriction which exists with respect to a Person
that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or merges with or into a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent on or after the Issue Date, which is in existence at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, but not created in connection with or in
anticipation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, and which is not applicable to any Person or the property or assets of any Person other than such Person or the property or assets of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary;

 (iv) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a permitted renewal, refunding,
replacement, refinancing or extension of Debt issued pursuant to an agreement containing any encumbrance or restriction referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), so long as the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such
refinancing agreement are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Holders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements governing the Debt being renewed, refunded, replaced, refinanced or extended in the good
faith judgment of the Parent; 
 (v) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease,
contract, or license of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or provisions in agreements that restrict the assignment of such agreement or any rights thereunder; 

(vi) any encumbrance or restriction by reason of applicable law, rule, regulation or order; 

(vii) any encumbrance or restriction under this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Security Documents;

 (viii) any encumbrance or restriction upon the sale of assets or Capital Interests, including, without
limitation, any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; 

(ix) restrictions on cash and other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the
ordinary course of business; 
 (x) customary provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of
assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements, sale leaseback agreements and other similar agreements; 

(xi) any instrument governing Debt or Capital Interests of a Person acquired by the Parent or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Debt or Capital Interests was incurred 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 Debt, such Debt was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

  

 -68- 

 (xii) purchase money obligations (including Capital Lease Obligations) for
property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on that property so acquired of the nature described in clause (a)(iii) of this Section 4.8; 

(xiii) Liens securing Debt otherwise permitted to be incurred under this Indenture, including pursuant to
Section 4.12, that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; 
 (xiv)
any encumbrance or restriction existing under or by reason of contractual requirements in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction; and 

(xv) any other agreement governing Debt entered into after the Issue Date that contains encumbrances and restrictions that
are not materially more restrictive with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary than those in effect on the Issue Date with respect to that Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to agreements in effect on the Issue Date. 

Nothing contained in this Section 4.8 shall prevent the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary from (i) creating, incurring,
assuming or suffering to exist any Liens otherwise permitted under Section 4.12 or (ii) restricting the sale or other disposition of property or assets of the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that secure Debt of the Parent or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries Incurred in accordance with Section 4.9 and Section 4.12 hereof. 
 SECTION 4.9. Limitation on
Incurrence of Debt. 
 (a) The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Debt
(including Acquired Debt); provided that the Parent and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is an Issuer or Guarantor may Incur Debt (including Acquired Debt) if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Debt and the
receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, (a) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, determined on a pro forma basis as if any such Debt (including any other Debt being Incurred
contemporaneously), and any other Debt Incurred since the beginning of the Four-Quarter Period had been Incurred and the proceeds thereof had been applied at the beginning of the Four-Quarter Period, and any other Debt repaid since the beginning of
the Four-Quarter Period had been repaid at the beginning of the Four-Quarter Period, would be greater than 2.0:1 and (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time or as a consequence of the Incurrence of
such Debt. 
 (b) If the Debt which is the subject of a determination under this provision is Acquired Debt, or Debt Incurred in
connection with the simultaneous acquisition of any Person, business, property or assets, or Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary being designated as a Restricted Subsidiary, then such ratio shall be determined by giving effect (on a pro forma basis,
as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the Four-Quarter Period) to (x) the Incurrence of such Acquired Debt or such other Debt by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and (y) the inclusion, in Consolidated Cash
Flow Available for Fixed Charges, of the Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges of the acquired Person, business, property or assets or redesignated Subsidiary. 

 

 -69- 

 (c) Notwithstanding Section 4.9(a), the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries may
Incur Permitted Debt. 
 (d) For purposes of determining any particular amount of Debt under this Section 4.9, Guarantees
or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Debt otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.9, in the event that an item of
Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described above, including categories of Permitted Debt and under the first paragraph of this Section 4.9, the Parent, in its sole discretion, shall classify, and from time to time
may reclassify, all or any portion of such item of Debt; provided that Debt incurred under the ABL Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement on or before the Issue Date shall be deemed to be incurred under clause (i) of the
definition of “Permitted Debt.” 
 (e) The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue
discount and the payment of interest on Debt in the form of additional Debt or payment of dividends on Capital Interests in the forms of additional shares of Capital Interests with the same terms will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt or
issuance of Capital Interests for purposes of this Section 4.9. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
maximum amount of Debt that may be outstanding pursuant to this Section 4.9 will not be deemed exceeded due to the results of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S.
dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Debt, the U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Debt was
Incurred. 
 (g) The Parent and any Guarantor will not Incur any Debt that pursuant to its terms is subordinate or junior in
right of payment to any Debt unless such Debt is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Note Guarantees at least to the same extent; provided that Debt will not be considered subordinate or junior in right of payment to any
other Debt solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured to a greater or lesser extent or with greater or lower priority or by virtue of structural subordination. 

SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Asset Sales. 

(a) The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 

(1) the Parent (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at
least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Capital Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; 
  

 -70- 

 (2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the
Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Eligible Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(a) any liabilities, as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary
(other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary assignment and assumption agreement that
releases the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and 
 (b) any securities, notes or
other obligations received by the Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of their receipt to the extent of the cash received in that
conversion. 
 (b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Parent (or the applicable
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Cash Proceeds at its option: 
 (1) to repay Debt
under the Credit Facilities; 
 (2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital
Interests of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Interests, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent; 

(3) to make a capital expenditure in or that is used or useful in a Permitted Business or to make expenditures for
maintenance, repair or improvement of existing properties and assets in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(4) to acquire other assets (other than inventory) that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; 

(5) to repay or repurchase Debt secured by the assets of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiaries; or 

(6) in any combination of the foregoing; 

provided that, in the case of clauses (2), (3) or (4) of this Section 4.10(b), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted
application of the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment
within 180 days of the end of such 360-day period (an “Asset Sale Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event such Net Cash Proceeds are not so applied within such 180-day period, or any Asset Sale Acceptable Commitment is cancelled
or terminated for any reason before the Net Cash Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the assets that were subject of such Asset Sale constituted Collateral, such
replacement assets acquired pursuant to clauses (2), (3) and (4) of this Section 4.10(b) shall also be required to constitute Collateral. 
  

 -71- 

 (c) Any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in
Section 4.10(b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Parent will, within 30 days, (x) make an Offer to Purchase to all Holders of Notes (on a pro
rata basis to each series of Notes), (y) in the case of Excess Proceeds which are received as a result of an Asset Sale of Collateral, to the holders of any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations containing provisions similar to those
set forth in this Indenture with respect to Asset Sales and (z) in the case of Excess Proceeds which are not received as a result of an Asset Sale of Collateral, to all holders of other Debt ranking pari passu with the Notes containing
provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to Asset Sales, equal to the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Offer to Purchase will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Offer to Purchase, the Parent may use those funds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and they will no longer constitute Excess
Proceeds. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations (in the case of Net Cash Proceeds from Collateral) or Notes and other pari passu debt (in the case of any other Net Cash Proceeds)
tendered into such Offer to Purchase exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and, if applicable, Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations and other pari passu debt, to be purchased on a pro rata
basis among each series. Upon completion of each Offer to Purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 

(d) The Parent will comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 14e- 1under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws
and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with
the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Parent will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such
compliance. 
 SECTION 4.11. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, 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 or series of related transactions, contract, agreement, loan, advance or guarantee
with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Parent (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Parent or the relevant Subsidiary
than those that could reasonably have been obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction by the Parent or such Subsidiary with an unaffiliated party; and 

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
consideration in excess of $10.0 million, the Parent delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Parent approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officers’
Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above; and 
  

 -72- 

 (iii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related
Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, the Parent must obtain and deliver to the Trustee a written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking, accounting or appraisal firm (an
“Independent Financial Advisor”) stating that the transaction is fair to the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view. 

(b) The foregoing limitation does not limit, and shall not apply to: 

(i) Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of this Indenture pursuant to Section 4.7 and Permitted
Investments permitted under this Indenture; 
 (ii) the payment of reasonable and customary fees and indemnities
and other benefits to members of the Board of Directors of the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary who are directors; 

(iii) the payment of reasonable and customary compensation and other benefits (including retirement, health, option,
deferred compensation and other benefit plans) and indemnities to officers and employees of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary as determined by the Board of Directors thereof in good faith; 

(iv) transactions between or among the Parent and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(v) the payment of reasonable and customary fees paid to, and indemnities provided on behalf of, directors, officers,
employees or members of management of the Parent or Connors or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent; 
 (vi)
any agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendment or modification thereto so long as such amendment or modification is not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Holders of the Notes; 

(vii) the Transactions and the payment of all fees and expenses in connection therewith; 

(viii) any contribution of capital to the Parent; 

(ix) transactions permitted by, and complying with the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof; 

 

 -73- 

 (x) the payment, pursuant to the Management Agreement dated
November 18, 2008 among the Parent, the Subsidiaries of the Parent and the Sponsor (as amended from time to time, the “Management Agreement”) of: 

(1) management, consulting, monitoring, and advisory fees to Sponsor or its Affiliates not to exceed $500,000 per annum,
so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom (the “Management Fees”); provided that if at any time any such Management Fees to Sponsor or its Affiliates are not permitted to be
paid as a result of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, then (A) such amounts shall continue to accrue, and (B) any such amounts that have accrued but which were not permitted to be paid may be paid at any time after such
Default or Event of Default is cured or waived and, if both before and after giving effect to such payment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(2) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or would result therefrom, any
financial advisory, financing, underwriting, or placement fee not to exceed 1.0% of the aggregate enterprise value of any transaction structured by the Sponsor involving the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of the Management
Agreement; provided that if at any time any such fee to Sponsor or its Affiliates is not permitted to be paid as a result of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, then such fee shall continue to accrue, and may be paid at any
time after such Default or Event of Default is cured or waived and, if both before and after giving effect to such payment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and 

(3) reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and the indemnities payable pursuant to the Management Agreement;

 (xi) any transaction with a joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity that would
constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in such joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity; 

(xii) loans and advances to employees in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice; and

 (xiii) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each
case, in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice and on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, as determined in good faith by the Parent, than those
that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Parent. 
 SECTION 4.12.
Limitation on Liens. 
 The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or
indirectly, to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind, on or with respect to the Collateral except Permitted Collateral Liens. The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or
indirectly, to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind, except Permitted Liens, on or with respect to any of its assets now owned or 

 

 -74- 

 
hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom other than Collateral without securing the Notes and all other amounts due under this Indenture equally and ratably
with (or prior to) the Debt secured by such Lien until such time as such Debt is no longer secured by such Lien; provided that if the Debt so secured is subordinated by its terms to the Notes or a Note Guarantee, the Lien securing such Debt
will also be so subordinated by its terms to the Notes and the Guarantees at least to the same extent. 
 SECTION 4.13. Limitation on Sale
and Leaseback Transactions. 
 The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any
Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless: 
 (i) the consideration received in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction
is at least equal to the fair market value of the property sold, as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Parent and the applicable Subsidiary; 

(ii) prior to and after giving effect to the Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the
Parent and such Restricted Subsidiary comply with Section 4.9; and 
 (iii) at or after such time the Parent
and such Restricted Subsidiary also comply with Section 4.10. 
 SECTION 4.14. Offer to Purchase upon Change of Control. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Issuers have exercised their rights to redeem all of the Notes in accordance
with Section 3.7, the Issuers will make an Offer to Purchase (the “Change of Control Offer”) all of the outstanding Notes at a Purchase Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount tendered, together with accrued
interest to but not including the Purchase Date (the “Change of Control Payment”). For purposes of the foregoing, an Offer to Purchase shall be deemed to have been made if (i) within 60 days following the date of the
consummation of a transaction or series of transactions that constitutes a Change of Control, the Issuers commence an Offer to Purchase for all outstanding Notes at the Purchase Price and (ii) all Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Offer
to Purchase are purchased on the terms of such Offer to Purchase. 
 (b) The Change of Control provisions described in
Section 4.14(a) will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. Except as described in Section 4.14(a) with respect to a Change of Control, this Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the
Holders to require that the Issuers repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction. 

(c) The Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of
Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of
Control Offer. 
  

 -75- 

 (d) The Issuers are required to comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 14e- 1 under
the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with any repurchase of the Notes as described above. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control
provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

 (e) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a
definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of launching the Change of Control Offer. 
 SECTION 4.15. Corporate
Existence. 
 Subject to Section 4.14 and Article V hereof, as the case may be, the Parent shall do or cause to be done
all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its partnership existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the respective organizational
documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Parent or any such Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Parent and its Subsidiaries; provided that the Parent shall not be required
to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors of the Parent shall determine that the preservation thereof is no
longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders. 

SECTION 4.16. Business Activities. 

The Parent will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than a Permitted Business. 

SECTION 4.17. Additional Note Guarantees. 

After the Issue Date, the Parent shall cause each of its newly created or acquired domestic Restricted Subsidiaries, within 30 calendar
days of such creation or acquisition, that (x) is not a Subsidiary of an Issuer and (y) is a Subsidiary of an Issuer and in the case of this clause (y): 

(a) guarantees any Debt of the Parent or any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries; or 

(b) Incurs any Debt pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 4.9 or clause (i) or (xvii) of the definition of
“Permitted Debt,” in each case to (i) guarantee the Notes, (ii) execute and deliver to the Trustee supplements to the Security Documents or new Security Documents necessary to grant a security interest to the Collateral Agent in
the Collateral of such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary, take all actions required by the Security Documents to perfect the Liens created thereunder and deliver all such documents to the Trustee and (iii) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel that such Note Guarantee and such Security Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary and constitute legal, valid and binding and enforceable obligations of such Domestic Restricted
Subsidiary. 
  

 -76- 

 SECTION 4.18. Limitation on Creation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Board of Directors of the Parent may designate any Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless such Subsidiary owns any
Capital Interests of, or owns or holds any Lien on any property of, any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent; provided that either: 

(x) the Subsidiary to be so designated has total assets of $1,000 or less; or 

(y) the Parent could make a Restricted Payment at the time of designation in an amount equal to the greater of the Fair
Market Value or book value of such Subsidiary pursuant to Section 4.7 and such amount is thereafter treated as a Restricted Payment for the purpose of calculating the amount available for Restricted Payments thereunder. 

(b) An Unrestricted Subsidiary may be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary if (i) all the Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiary
could be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.9 and (ii) all the Liens on the property and assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be incurred pursuant to Section 4.12. For the avoidance of doubt, all Subsidiaries of the Parent that
are not Subsidiaries of the Issuers shall at all times be Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION 4.19. Maintenance of Properties; Insurance;
Books and Records. 
 (a) Subject to, and in compliance with, the provisions of Article X, the Issuers shall cause all
material properties used or useful in the conduct of their business or the business of any of the Guarantors to be maintained and kept in good operating condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear and casualty loss excepted) and
supplied with all necessary equipment and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto; provided that the Issuers shall not be obligated to make such repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements that would not result in a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuers and the Guarantors to satisfy their Obligations under the Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture. 

(b) The Issuers shall maintain, and shall cause the Guarantors to maintain, insurance with responsible carriers against such risks and in
such amounts, and with such deductibles, retentions, self-insured amounts and co-insurance provisions, as are customarily carried by similar businesses of similar size in the locations where such business is conducted, including property and
casualty loss, workers’ compensation and interruption of business insurance. 
 (c) The Issuers shall cause any property
and casualty insurance policies with respect to the Mortgaged Property to be endorsed or otherwise amended to include a “standard” or “New York” lender’s loss payable endorsement, which endorsement or policy shall provide
that, from and after the Issue Date, if the insurance carrier shall have received written notice from the Trustee of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the insurance carrier shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to the Issuers and the
Guarantors under such policies directly to the Trustee; cause all such policies to provide that neither the Parent, the Trustee nor any other party shall be a coinsurer thereunder and to contain a “Replacement Cost Endorsement,” or in the
case of a 
  

 -77- 

 
policy insuring equipment, to contain an “Actual Cost Endorsement,” or similar endorsement without any deduction for depreciation, and such other provisions as may be customary with
companies in the same or similar businesses to protect their interests; deliver original or certified copies of all such policies or a certificate of an insurance broker to the Trustee; cause each such policy to provide that it shall not be canceled
or not renewed upon less than 30 days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Trustee; deliver to the Trustee, prior to the cancellation or nonrenewal of any such policy of insurance, a copy of a renewal or replacement policy (or
other evidence of renewal of a policy previously delivered to the Trustee), or insurance certificate with respect thereto, together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of payment of the premium therefor. 

SECTION 4.20. Events of Loss. 

(a) If an Event of Loss occurs, the Parent or the affected Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall apply and the Parent shall
cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Event of Loss within 360 days of receipt thereof either: 

(1) to repay Debt under the Credit Facilities; 

(2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Interests of, another Permitted Business, if,
after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Interests, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent; 

(3) to make a capital expenditure in or that is used or useful in a Permitted Business or to make expenditures for
maintenance, repair or improvement of existing properties and assets in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(4) to acquire other assets (other than inventory) that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; 

(5) to repay or repurchase Debt secured by the assets of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiaries; or 

(6) in any combination of the foregoing; 

provided that, in the case of clause (2), (3) or (4) of this Section 4.20(a), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted
application of the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment
within 180 days of the end of such 360-day period (an “Event of Loss Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event such Net Cash Proceeds are so applied within such 180-day period, or any Event of Loss Acceptable Commitment is cancelled
or terminated for any reason before the Net Cash Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that such assets that were subject to such Event of Loss constituted Collateral, such
replacement assets acquired pursuant to clauses (2), (3) and (4) of this Section 4.20(a) shall also be required to constitute Collateral. 
  

 -78- 

 (b) Any Net Cash Proceeds from Events of Loss that are not applied or invested as provided
in Section 4.20(a) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Parent will, within 30 days, make an Offer to Purchase to (x) all Holders of Notes (on a pro
rata basis to each series of Notes), (y) in the case of Excess Proceeds which are received as a result of an Event of Loss of Collateral, to the holders of any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations containing provisions similar to
those set forth in this Indenture with respect to Events of Loss, and (z) in the case of Excess Proceeds which are not received as a result of an Event of Loss of Collateral, to all holders of other Debt ranking pari passu with the Notes
containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to Events of Loss, equal to the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Offer to Purchase will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest
to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Offer to Purchase, the Parent may use those funds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and they will no longer
constitute Excess Proceeds. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes, Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations and other pari passu debt tendered into such Offer to Purchase exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select
the Notes and, if applicable, Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations and other pari passu debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis among each series. Upon completion of each Offer to Purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be
reset at zero. 
 (c) The Parent will comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 14e- 1 under the Exchange Act and any
other applicable securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities
laws or regulations conflict with the Event of Loss provisions of this Indenture, the Parent will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under the Event of Loss provisions
of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 SECTION 4.21. Payments for Consent. 

The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to
or for the benefit of any Holder of the Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the
Registration Rights Agreement unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or
agreement. 
 SECTION 4.22. Limitation on Activities of the Finance Co-Issuer. 

The Finance Co-Issuer may not hold any material assets, become liable for any material obligations, engage in any trade or business, or
conduct any business activity, other than (1) the issuance of its Capital Interests to the Issuers or any wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuers, (2) the incurrence of Debt as a co-obligor or guarantor, as the case may be, of
the Notes and any other Debt that is permitted to be Incurred by the Parent under Section 4.9; provided that the net proceeds of such Debt are not retained by the Finance Co-Issuer and (3) activities incidental to the foregoing
clauses, including, but not limited to, payment of taxes and administrative activities. Neither the Parent nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall engage in any transactions with the Finance Co-Issuer in violation of the immediately preceding sentence.

from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that the Collateral Agent holds, for the benefit of the Holders duly created, enforceable and perfected third priority Liens (subject to Permitted Collateral Liens) upon all Collateral.

Collateral Liens) the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred as contemplated by the Security Documents for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and the holders of the Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations. 

(c) The Issuers and the Guarantors shall comply with Section 2.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Subsidiary of the Parent or an Issuer or the merger of a Guarantor into or with another Guarantor; or 
  

 -85- 

 (ii) a merger between the Parent or an Issuer and an Affiliate incorporated
solely for the purpose of converting the Parent or an Issuer into a corporation organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision or state thereof; so long as, in each case, the amount of Debt of the Parent and its
Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. 
 (c) For all purposes of this Indenture and the Notes, Subsidiaries of any
Surviving Entity will, upon such transaction or series of transactions to the extent any Subsidiary is not already a party, become a Restricted Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary as provided pursuant to this Indenture and all Debt, and all Liens

SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. 

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (9) of Section 6.1 with respect to the Parent or
an Issuer) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of the Notes and any accrued interest on the Notes to
be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Parent (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal of or interest on the Notes, have been cured or
waived as provided in this Indenture. 
 (b) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes solely because an Event
of Default described in clause (6) of Section 6.1 has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default or

  

 -88- 

 
payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) of Section 6.1 shall be remedied or cured by the Parent or an Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent or
waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 20 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a

 (c) If an
Event of Default specified in clause (9) of Section 6.1 occurs with respect to the Parent or an Issuer, the principal of and any accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any Default (except Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest) if the Trustee determines that withholding
notice is in the interest of the Holders to do so. 
 (d) No Holder of any Note will have any right to institute any proceeding
with respect to this Indenture or for any remedy hereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default and unless also the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee, and provided indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, to institute such proceeding as Trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days. Such limitations do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Note
directly (as opposed to through the Trustee) for enforcement of payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note. 

SECTION 6.3. Other Remedies. 

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture or the Security Documents. 

(b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.
A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative
to the extent permitted by law. 
 SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes (other than as a
result of an acceleration), which shall require the consent of all of the Holders of the Notes then outstanding. 
  

 -89- 

 SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, (i) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee
determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, and (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction. 
 SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. 

(a) A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if: 

(i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default or the Trustee receives such notice
from the Parent; 
 (ii) the 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; 
 (iii) such Holder or Holders offer and, if
requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 

(iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if
requested, the provision of such indemnity or security; and 
 (v) during such 60-day period the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 

(b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another
Holder. 
 SECTION 6.7. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an Offer to Purchase), 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. 
 SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or (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 Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining 

 

 -90- 

 
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 reasonable costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and outside counsel. 
 SECTION 6.9.
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 outside counsel) and the Holders allowed in any
judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (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 securities or property payable or deliverable
upon the conversion or exchange of the Notes or 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 outside counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee
under Section 7.7 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its outside counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 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. 

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. 

(a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this
Article VI and any money or other property distributable in respect of the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of
the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

(i) First: to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) and Collateral Agent, its agents and outside attorneys for
amounts due under Section 7.7 hereof, including payment of all reasonable compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

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

 -91- 

 (iii) Third: to the Issuers or to such party as a court of competent
jurisdiction shall direct. 
 (b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.10. 
 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as 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, 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
pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 
 SECTION 6.12.
Appointment and Authorization of Trustee as Collateral Agent. 
 (a) The Trustee is hereby designated and appointed as the
Collateral Agent of the Holders under the Security Documents, and is authorized as the Collateral Agent for such Holders to execute and enter into each of the Security Documents and all other instruments relating to the Security Documents and
(i) to take action and exercise such powers and use such discretion as are expressly required or permitted hereunder and under the Security Documents and all instruments relating hereto and thereto and (ii) to exercise such powers and
perform such duties as are in each case, expressly delegated to the Trustee as Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof together with such other powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto. 

For purposes of holding any security (the “Quebec Security”) under the laws of the Province of Quebec and without
prejudice to the foregoing paragraph, the Trustee, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, is hereby further designated and appointed as the person holding the power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the
Holders and the holders of the Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations, the whole as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec, to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf, and for their benefit, any deed of hypothec

pledged pursuant to any pledge of bond agreement in favour of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Holders and the holders of the Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations, the whole notwithstanding
Section 32 of the Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec). The execution by the 
  

 -92- 

 
Collateral Agent, acting as the person holding the power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) and agent, prior to the execution hereof, of any Quebec Security documents is hereby ratified
and confirmed. The Collateral Agent, in such aforesaid capacities shall benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Collateral Agent, mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with
respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by any Person. Any Person who becomes a Collateral Agent, Trustee, Holder or a holder of the Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations shall be deemed to have consented to and

requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use
of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any such action under this Indenture or the Security Documents if it shall not have received such advice or concurrence of the Holders (acting in accordance with the Indenture and other Security Documents), as it deems appropriate.
This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or
benefits on any party hereto. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture or the Security
Documents, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or therein or any fiduciary relationship with any Holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities,
duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture or any Security Document or otherwise exist against the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. 

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

any delisting thereof.

arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any Mortgaged Property or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities and costs or Remedial Actions related in any way to any such Mortgaged Property,

the Collateral Agent, after foreclosure by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents or that resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party. 

(c) The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 7.7 shall
include its officers, directors, employees and agents)

duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuers (including this Section 7.7) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers or 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, claim, damage, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad
faith. The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers of their obligations hereunder. The Trustee may have separate counsel
and the Issuers shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one such counsel. The Issuers need not pay for any settlement made without their consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Under no circumstances shall the Trustee be
liable for any consequential or punitive damages of any kind. 
 (d) The obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under
this Section 7.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge or termination for any reason of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

(e) To secure the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the

the Issuers) the redemption date thereof, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Notes; 

(2) in the case of defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that

occur;

Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such outstanding Notes will not recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and covenant defeasance to be effected with respect to such Notes and will be

 -105- 

 (4) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the outstanding Notes
shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit after giving effect thereto (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien to secure such
borrowing); 
 (5) such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or

that all conditions precedent with respect to such defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with. 
 (b)

payable, or (y) will become due and payable at Stated Maturity within one year under arrangements for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers.

Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Parent or any Subsidiary 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, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

outstanding Notes. 
 (c) Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the
Issuers from time to time upon the written request of the Issuers and be relieved of all liability with respect to any money or non-callable U.S. government obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.4 hereof which, in the good faith
judgment of the Chief Financial Officer of the Parent expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the certification delivered under Section 8.4(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would
then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance. 
  

 -106- 

 SECTION 8.6. Repayment to Issuer. 

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,

such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuers cause
to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Issuers. 
 SECTION 8.7.
Reinstatement.

government obligations in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 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
obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such
money or non-callable U.S. government obligations in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note
following the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or non-callable U.S. government obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

the Notes waive any past default under this Indenture and its consequences, except a default:

payment in respect of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Notes (including any Note which is required to have been purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase which has been made by the Issuers), or

Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on the Note. When an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective in accordance with its terms, it thereafter binds every Holder. 
 (b) The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to,
fix a record date for determining which Holders consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver. If the Issuers fix a record date, the record date shall be fixed at (i) the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the

not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In signing or refusing to sign any amendment or supplemental indenture the Trustee shall be entitled to receive (i) indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee and
(ii) and (subject to Section 7.1 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by
this Indenture, that all conditions precedent thereto have been met or waived, that such amendment or supplemental indenture is not inconsistent herewith, that it will be valid and binding upon the Issuers in accordance with its terms and that such

 ARTICLE X 

NOTE GUARANTEES 
 SECTION 10.1.
Note Guarantees. 
 (a) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the
Notes and obligations of the Issuers hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, that: (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Notes shall be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise (including, without limitation, the amount that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under
Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee or Collateral
Agent hereunder or thereunder shall be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same shall
be 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. Each of the Note Guarantees shall be a guarantee of payment and not of collection. 

(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder 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. 

(c) Each Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event
of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any 
  

 -111- 

 
right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be
discharged as to any Note except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Note and such Note Guarantee or as otherwise provided for in this Indenture. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Note, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of
such Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee without first proceeding against the Issuers or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor
agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, to collect
interest on the Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, such Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and
payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders. 
 (d) If any Holder
or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuers or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the
Trustee or such Holder, the Note Guarantee of each of the Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. This paragraph (d) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be
taken by the Trustee or any Holder in reliance upon such amount required to be returned. This paragraph (d) shall survive the termination of this Indenture. 

(e) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor. 
 SECTION 10.2. Execution and Delivery of Note
Guarantee. 
 (a) To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1, each Guarantor agrees that a notation of
such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Such notation of Note Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of such Guarantor by an officer of such
Guarantor (or, if an officer is not available, by a board member or director or other authorized person) on behalf of such Guarantor by manual or facsimile signature. In case the officer, board member or director or other authorized person of such
Guarantor who shall have signed such notation of Note Guarantee shall cease to be such officer, board member or director or other authorized person before the Note on which such Note Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered as though the Person who signed such notation of Note Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer, board member or director or other authorized person. 

 

 -112- 

 (b) Each Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1 shall
remain in full force and effect and apply to all the Notes notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute
due delivery of any Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 (c) The failure to endorse a Note
Guarantee shall not affect or impair the validity thereof. 
 SECTION 10.3. Severability. 

In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 SECTION 10.4. Limitation of Guarantors’ Liability.

 Each Guarantor and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, 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 the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law relating
to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that
will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor 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 its Note Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

SECTION 10.5. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.6, a Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
assets, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person unless: 

(1) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; 

(2) either: 

(A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or 

 

 -113- 

 (B) the Net Cash Proceeds of any such sale or other disposition of a
Guarantor are applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof; and 
 (3) the Parent
delivers, or causes to be delivered, to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such sale, other disposition, consolidation or merger complies with the requirements of this Indenture. 

(b) 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 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 shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall 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 such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 

(c) Except as set forth in Articles IV and V hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (1) and (2) above, nothing contained in this
Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into any Issuer or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety to any Issuer or another Guarantor. 
 SECTION 10.6. Releases Following Sale of Assets. 

(a) Any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee, (1) in connection with any
sale or other disposition by the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Parent of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving
effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary, if the Parent or the Subsidiary Guarantor applies the Net Proceeds of that sale or other disposition in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof; or (2) in connection with any sale of
all of the Capital Interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor by the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Parent to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary, if the Parent applies the Net Cash Proceeds of
that sale in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof. Upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Parent in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its
Note Guarantee. 
 (b) Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable
for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes as provided in this Article X. 
  

 -114- 

 SECTION 10.7. Release of a Guarantor. 

(a) Any Guarantor that is designated by the Board of Directors of the Parent as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture shall, at such time, be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged of its obligations under its Note Guarantee without any further action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee shall deliver an
appropriate instrument evidencing such release as provided to the Trustee by the Guarantor upon receipt of the Parent’s request for such release accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this
Section 10.7 and an Opinion of Counsel. Any Guarantor not so released shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes as provided in its Note Guarantee. 

(b) Any Guarantor may be released from its Obligations under this Indenture, any Note Guarantee and the Security Documents in accordance
with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement in connection with any disposition of the Capital Interests of a Guarantor consented to by the collateral agent under each Credit Facility in a default disposition. 

SECTION 10.8. Benefits Acknowledged. 

Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this
Indenture and that its guarantee and waivers pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
 SECTION
10.9. Future Guarantors. 
 Each Person that is required to become a Guarantor after the Issue Date pursuant to
Section 4.17 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Person shall become a Guarantor. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Issuers shall
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Person and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Guarantor is
a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms and/or to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

(ii) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment
is given or an order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (or such other date as a court shall determine), and the date of receipt of the amount due, the Issuers shall pay such additional (or, as the case may be, such lesser) amount, if any,
as may be necessary so that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt will produce the amount in the Base Currency originally due. 

(b) In the event of the winding-up of the Issuers or the Parent at any time while any amount or damages owing under the Notes and this
Indenture, or any judgment or order rendered in respect thereof, shall remain outstanding, the Issuers shall indemnify and hold the Holders and the Trustee harmless against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange
between (1) the date as of which the equivalent of the amount in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as the case may be, due or contingently due under the Notes and this Indenture (other than under this Subsection (b)) is calculated for the
purposes of such winding-up and (2) the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in such winding-up. For the purpose of this Subsection (b), the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in the winding-up of the Issuers or the Parent
shall be the date fixed by the liquidator or otherwise in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable law as being the latest practicable date as at which liabilities of the Issuers may be ascertained for such winding-up prior to payment
by the liquidator or otherwise in respect thereto. 
  

 -122- 

 (c) The obligations contained in Subsections (a)(ii) and (b) of this Section 12.16
shall constitute obligations of each Issuer separate and independent from its other respective obligations under the Notes and this Indenture, shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against each Issuer, shall apply irrespective
of any waiver or extension granted by any Holder or the Trustee or any of them from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order or the filing of any proof of claim in the winding-up of the Issuers
or the Parent for a liquidated sum in respect of amounts due hereunder (other than under Subsection (b) above) or under any such judgment or order. Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Holders or
the Trustee, as the case may be, and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Issuers or the liquidator or otherwise any of them. In the case of Subsection (b) above, the amount of such deficiency shall not be deemed to
be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring between the said final date and the date of any liquidating distribution. 

(d) The term “rate(s) of exchange” shall mean the noon buying rate for cable transfers as certified for customs purposes by the
Bank of Canada between the Base Currency and Judgment Currency other than the Base Currency referred to in Subsections (a) and (b) above and includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable. 

(e) The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect to monitoring or enforcing this Section 12.16. 

SECTION 12.17. Currency Equivalent. 

Except as provided in Section 12.16 hereof, for purposes of the construction of the terms of this Indenture or of the Notes, in the
event that any amount is stated herein in the currency of one nation (the “First Currency”), as of any date such amount shall also be deemed to represent the amount in the currency of any other relevant nation (the “Other
Currency”) which is required to purchase such amount in the First Currency at the noon buying rate for cable transfers confirmed for customs purposes by the Bank of Canada between the First Currency and Other Currency on the date of
determination. 
 SECTION 12.18. Patriot Act. 

The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, like
all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an
account. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will provide Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas with such information as it may request in order for Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to satisfy the requirements of the USA Patriot Act.

 SECTION 12.19. Force Majeure. 

The Trustee, Collateral Agent and Agents shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or
responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Trustee, Collateral Agent and agents (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation of a governmental authority, any act of

  

 -123- 

 
God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication
facility). 
 SECTION 12.20. Responsibility for Notes. 

Notwithstanding that each of Connors Bros. Clover Leaf Seafoods Company, Bumble Bee Foods, LLC and Bumble Bee Capital Corp. are
co-obligors, jointly and severally liable under the Notes for the full principal amount, it is understood and agreed as among the Issuers only that Connors Bros. Clover Leaf Seafoods Company shall be primarily responsible for repayment of
$50,000,000 of the total principal amount of the Notes, representing the amount of cash it received from the proceeds of the Notes on the Issue Date, plus all interest thereon, and Bumble Bee Foods, LLC shall be primarily responsible for repayment
of $170,000,000 of the total principal amount of the Notes, representing the amount of cash it received from the proceeds of the Notes on the Issue Date, plus all interest thereon. To the extent that either Connors Bros. Clover Leaf Seafoods Company
or Bumble Bee Foods, LLC actually repays to the Holders more than its share of the indebtedness for which it is primarily responsible pursuant to the preceding sentence, then Connors Bros. Clover Leaf Seafoods Company or Bumble Bee Foods, LLC, as
the case may be, shall be deemed to have made a loan of such excess amount to, and only to the extent it actually paid such amounts to the Holders and shall be treated as having a right to repayment from, the other for the amounts it actually paid
to the Holders (although such loan and right of repayment shall be subordinated to the rights of the Holders), and the recipient of such deemed loan shall be treated as having repaid such excess amount to the Holders of the Notes. The rights and
remedies of the Issuers under this Section 12.20 shall not alter the joint and several obligations of the Issuers to the Holders for the full principal amount of the Notes.

 (1) Interest. 

(a) Bumble Bee Foods, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Connors Bros. Clover Leaf Seafoods Company, a Nova Scotia unlimited
company, and Bumble Bee Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with Bumble Bee Foods, LLC and Connors Bros. Clover Leaf Seafoods Company, the “Issuers”), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note (the
“Notes”) at a fixed rate. The Issuers will pay interest in United States dollars (except as otherwise provided herein) semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2010 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 shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from and including December 17, 2009; provided that if there is no existing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date (but after June 15, 2010), interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date, except in the case of the original issuance of the Notes, in which case interest shall accrue from the date of
authentication. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to 2.0% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the
Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent
lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United
States law of general application. The Issuers shall also pay such Additional Amounts as specified in the Indenture. 
 [(b)
Registration Rights Agreement. The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2009, among the Issuers, the Guarantors party thereto and the Initial
Purchasers.]1 

(2) Method of Payment. The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) on the applicable Interest Payment

 A-5 

 
Notes at the close of business on the June 1 and December 1 preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled 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 shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose
within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest 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 shall be required with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided written wire transfer instructions to the Issuers and the
Paying Agent as long as such Holder holds at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. Such payment shall 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. 
 Any payments of principal of and interest on this Note prior to Stated Maturity shall be binding upon all
future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. The amount due and payable at the maturity of this Note shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of this Note at an office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes. 

(3) Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as
Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

(4) Indenture. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of December 17, 2009 (the
“Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended
(15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). To the extent the provisions of this Note are inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the Indenture shall govern. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders
are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The Notes issued on the Issue Date are senior secured Obligations of the Issuers limited to $220,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, plus amounts, if any, sufficient to pay
premium and interest on outstanding Notes as set forth in Paragraph 2 hereof. The Indenture permits the issuance of Additional Notes subject to compliance with certain conditions. 

The payment of principal and interest on the Notes is unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by the Guarantors. 

(5) Optional Redemption. 

(a) The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to December 15, 2012, at the option of the Issuers upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and
accrued and unpaid interest to, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

 

 A-6 

 (b) In addition, the Notes are subject to redemption, at the option of the Issuers, in whole
or in part, at any time on or after December 15, 2012, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), if

	 Year
	  	Redemption Price	 
	 2012
	  	103.875	% 
	 2013

	 2014 and thereafter
	  	100.000	% 

 (c) In
addition to the optional redemption provisions of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, prior to December 15, 2012, the Issuers may, with the net proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings, on one or
more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes) at a Redemption Price equal to 107.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of
redemption; provided that at least 65% of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding (including Additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of any such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Issuers or their
Subsidiaries) and that any such redemption occurs within 90 days following the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering. 

(d) In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to December 15, 2012, the Issuers may redeem up to 10% per year of the
original aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 103.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. 

(e) The Issuers may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at their discretion at any time upon giving not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders of the Notes (which notice will be irrevocable), at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of redemption, and all Additional
Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the date of redemption as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest
payment date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, an Issuer has become or would become obligated to pay any Additional Amounts in respect of the Notes,
and such Issuer cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it, and the requirement arises as a result of: 

(i) any change in or amendment to the laws (or regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a relevant Tax
Jurisdiction, or 
  

 A-7 

 (ii) any change in or amendment to any official position regarding the
application or interpretation of the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of any relevant Tax Jurisdiction, 
 which change or amendment is
announced and becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable relevant Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date). 

(6) Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in Sections 4.10, 4.14 and 4.20 of the Indenture, neither the Parent nor the Issuers
shall be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
 (7) Repurchase at
Option of Holder. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Issuers have exercised their rights to
redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.7 of the Indenture, the Issuers will make an Offer to Purchase for all of the outstanding Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon to but not including the date of purchase. Within 60 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers will mail or deliver a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of
Control setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer required by the Indenture. 
 (b) Upon the occurrence
of certain Asset Sales or Events of Loss, the Parent may be required to make an Offer to Purchase the Notes. 
 (c) Holders of
the Notes that are the subject of an Offer to Purchase will receive notice of an Offer to Purchase as a result of an Asset Sale, Event of Loss or a Change of Control from the Issuers prior to any related Purchase Date and may elect to have such
Notes purchased by completing the form titled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below. 
 (8) Notice
of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be delivered at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may
be redeemed in part but only in a minimum amount of $2,000 principal amount (and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof), unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to
accrue on the Notes or portions hereof called for redemption. 
 (9) Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in
registered form without coupons in initial denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of the Notes may be registered and the 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 Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar 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, they need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15
days before the selection of Notes to be redeemed or register the transfer of or exchange of any Notes during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

of any applicable grace period with respect thereto; 
  

 A-9 

 (7) the entry against the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a
Significant Subsidiary of a final judgment or final judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $10.0 million (in excess of applicable insurance with respect to which the insurer has not denied liability), by a court or

(8) any Lien purported to be created by any Security Document shall cease to be a valid and enforceable Lien with respect

specifying the failure (and demanding that such failure be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes; or 

(9) the Parent, any Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted

(b) appoints a custodian of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or 

 

 A-10 

 (c) orders the liquidation of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary that
is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary 
 and the
order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days. 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of
Default specified in clause (9) above with respect to the Parent or an Issuer) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may
declare the principal of the Notes and any accrued interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Parent (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that after such acceleration, but
before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the
nonpayment of accelerated principal of or interest on the Notes, have been cured or waived as provided in the Indenture. 
 In
the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes solely because an Event of Default described in clause (6) above has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled
if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) shall be remedied or cured by the Parent or an Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 20 Business
Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the
payment of amounts due on the Notes. 
 If an Event of Default specified in clause (9) above occurs with respect to the
Parent or an Issuer, the principal of and any accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee may withhold
from Holders notice of any Default (except Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest) if the Trustee determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders to do so. 

(13) No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, stockholder, general or limited partner or incorporator, past, present
or future, of the Parent, the Issuers, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as such or in such capacity, shall have any personal liability for any obligations of the Issuers under the Notes, any Guarantee, the Indenture or any
Security Document by reason of his, her or its status as such director, officer, employee, stockholder, general or limited partner or incorporator. 

No recourse may, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the
Parent and the Issuers or the Guarantors on the Notes or under the Indenture or any related documents, any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any
partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee, agent, successor or assign of the Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or (iii) any holder of equity in the Trustee.

commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective at the earliest possible time, but in no event later than 240 days after the Closing Date (or if such 240th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective amendments to such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, (B) if applicable, file
a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act and (C) use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause all necessary filings in connection with the registration and qualification of
the Exchange Securities to be made under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that none of the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be required to
(x) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(a) or (y) take any action which would subject it to

  

 - 4 - 

 
general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject and (iv) as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness of such Registration Statement,
commence the Exchange Offer. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to Consummate the Exchange Offer not later than 270 days following the Closing Date (or if such 270th day is not a Business Day, the
next succeeding Business Day) (the “Exchange Date”). The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting registration of the Exchange Securities to be offered in exchange for the Transfer Restricted Securities and to
permit resales of Transfer Restricted Securities held by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) hereof. 
 (b) The
Issuers and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period
required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 30 days after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders;
provided, further, that such period shall be extended by the number of days in any Suspension Period. The Issuers shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply in all material respects with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities
other than the Exchange Securities shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Issuers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated by the Exchange Date. 

(c) The Issuers shall indicate in a “Plan of Distribution” section contained in the Prospectus forming a part of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Transfer Restricted Securities
acquired directly from the Issuers), may exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer; however, such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must,
therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the Exchange Securities received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, which prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied by
the delivery by such Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect to such resales by Broker-Dealers that
the Commission may require in order to permit such resales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer
except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy after the date of this Agreement. 
 The
Issuers and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof to the extent
necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Transfer Restricted Securities acquired by Broker-Dealers for their own accounts as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and to ensure that it

  

 - 5 - 

 
conforms in all material respects with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a
period ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days from the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective and (ii) the date on which a Broker-Dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with
market-making or other trading activities. 
 The Issuers shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such
Prospectus to Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any time during such 180-day (or shorter as provided in the foregoing sentence) period in order to facilitate such resales. 

SECTION 4. Shelf Registration. 

(a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Issuers are not required to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to consummate
the Exchange Offer solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) hereof have been complied with), (ii) for any reason the Exchange Offer is not
Consummated by the Exchange Date, or (iii) prior to the Exchange Date: (A) the Initial Purchasers request from the Issuers with respect to Transfer Restricted Securities not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Exchange
Offer, (B) with respect to any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities such Holder notifies the Issuers that (i) such Holder is prohibited by applicable law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (ii) such
Holder may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and that the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such
resales by such Holder, or (iii) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Transfer Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Issuers or one of their affiliates or (C) in the case of any Initial Purchaser, such Initial Purchaser
notifies the Issuers it will not receive Exchange Securities in exchange for Transfer Restricted Securities constituting any portion of such Initial Purchaser’s unsold allotment, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall: 

(x) cause to be filed a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which may be an
amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (in either event, the “Shelf Registration Statement”), on or prior to the 45th day after the date on which the Issuers receive such notice from a Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities or an Initial Purchaser (such date being the “Shelf Filing Deadline”), which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for resales of all Transfer Restricted Securities the Holders of which shall have provided the
information required pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof; and 
 (y) use their commercially reasonable efforts
to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable, but no later than (A) 90 days (or if such 90th day is not a Business Day the next succeeding Business Day), or (B) 45 days if the Shelf
Registration Statement is not reviewed by the Commission (or if such 45th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), after such time such 

 

 - 6 - 

 
obligation to file first arises; provided that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall not be required to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective earlier than the
270th day following the Closing Date (or if such 270th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). 
 Each of
the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the
extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders of such Securities entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a), and to ensure that it conforms in all material respects with the
requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, from the date on which the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission until the
expiration of the one-year period referred to in Rule 144 applicable to securities held by non-affiliates under the Securities Act (or shorter period that will terminate when all the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration
Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in
Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder
furnishes to the Issuers in writing, within 10 Business Days after receipt of a request therefor, such information as the Issuers may reasonably request for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary
Prospectus included therein. Each Holder as to which any Shelf Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Issuers all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the
Issuers by such Holder not materially misleading. 
 (c) Suspension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary and subject
to the limitation set forth in the next succeeding paragraph, at any time after the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, each of the Issuers shall be entitled to suspend its obligation to file any amendment to the Shelf Registration
Statement, furnish any supplement or amendment to a Prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, make any other filing with the Commission, cause the Shelf Registration Statement or other filing with the Commission to remain effective or
take any similar action (collectively, “Registration Actions”) upon (A) the issuance by the Commission of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with
respect to the Shelf Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, (B) the occurrence of any event or the existence of any fact as a result of which the Shelf Registration Statement would or shall contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or the related Prospectus would or shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (C) the occurrence or existence of any corporate
development that, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the 
  

 - 7 - 

 
general partner of Parent, makes it appropriate to postpone or suspend the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus. Upon the occurrence of any of the
conditions described in clause (A), (B) or (C) above, the Issuers shall give prompt notice (a “Suspension Notice”) thereof to the Holders. Upon the termination of such condition, the Issuers shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Holders and shall promptly proceed with all Registration Actions that were suspended pursuant to this paragraph. 

The Issuers may only suspend Registration Actions pursuant to the preceding paragraph for one or more periods (each, a
“Suspension Period”) not to exceed, in the aggregate, (x) forty- five (45) days in any three month period or (y) ninety (90) days in any twelve month period. Any Suspension Period will not alter the obligations
of the Issuers to pay Additional Interest under the circumstances set forth in Section 5 hereof, if applicable. Each Suspension Period shall be deemed to begin on the date the relevant Suspension Notice is given to the Holders and shall be
deemed to end on the earlier to occur of (1) the date on which the Issuers give the Holders a notice that the Suspension Period has terminated and (2) the date on which the number of days during which a Suspension Period has been in effect
exceeds, in the aggregate, (x) forty-five (45) days in any three month period or (y) ninety (90) days in any twelve month period. 

SECTION 5. Additional Interest. 

If (i) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated on or prior to the date specified for such consummation in this Agreement,
(ii) any Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness in this Agreement or (iii) any Registration Statement required by this
Agreement has been declared effective but ceases to be effective at any time at which it is required to be effective under this Agreement (other than during a Suspension Period), as applicable (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through
(iii), a “Registration Default”), the Issuers hereby agree that the interest rate borne by the Transfer Restricted Securities shall be increased by 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence
of any Registration Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period (such increase, “Additional Interest”), but in no event shall such increase exceed 1.00% per annum. Following
the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to the particular Transfer Restricted Securities the interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted Securities will be reduced to the original interest rate borne by such Transfer Restricted
Securities; provided, however, that, if after any such reduction in interest rate, a different Registration Default occurs, the interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted Securities shall again be increased pursuant to the
foregoing provisions. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the amount of Additional Interest pursuant to this
Section 5 shall not increase because more than one Registration Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities who is not entitled to the benefits of the Shelf Registration Statement shall not be
entitled to Additional Interest with respect to a Registration Default that pertains to the Shelf Registration Statement. 
  

 - 8 - 

 All accrued Additional Interest shall be payable to the Holders entitled thereto, in the
manner provided for the payment of interest in the Indenture, as more fully set forth in the Indenture and the Securities. All obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors set forth in the preceding paragraph that are outstanding with respect to
any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such security shall have been satisfied in full. 

SECTION 6. Registration Procedures. 

(a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall comply with
all of the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange to permit the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution thereof set forth in the Registration Statement, and shall comply with all of the following provisions: 

(i) If in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Issuers there is a question as to whether the Exchange Offer is
permitted by applicable law, each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby agrees to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Issuers and the Guarantors to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Transfer
Restricted Securities. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby agrees to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take commercially unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission
policy. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby agrees, however, to (A) participate in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) deliver to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Issuers setting forth the
legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursue a favorable resolution by the Commission staff of such submission. 

(ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities shall furnish, upon the request of the Issuers, prior to the Consummation thereof, a written representation to the Issuers (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an affiliate of any of the Issuers, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in, a
distribution of the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of business. In addition, all such Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall otherwise
cooperate in the Issuers’ preparations for the Exchange Offer. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in
the Exchange Offer (1) could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission 

 

 - 9 - 

 
enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the
Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (which may include any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder
information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for Transfer Restricted Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the Issuers.

 (b) Shelf Registration Statement. If required pursuant to Section 4, in connection with the Shelf Registration
Statement, each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities
being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement, and pursuant thereto each of the Issuers and the Guarantors will as promptly as practicable prepare and file with
the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods
of distribution thereof set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (c) General Provisions. Except as otherwise
provided herein, connection with any Registration Statement and any Prospectus required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation, any Registration Statement and the related
Prospectus required to permit resales of Transfer Restricted Securities by Broker-Dealers), each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall: 

(i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all
requisite financial statements for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable; upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain a
material misstatement or omission or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Issuers shall file as promptly as practicable an appropriate amendment to
such Registration Statement, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective and
such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to become usable for their intended purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter; 

(ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration
Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 

 

 - 10 - 

 
hereof, as applicable, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold; cause the Prospectus to be
supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Securities Act in a timely
manner; and comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or
methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus; 

(iii) advise the underwriter(s), if any, and selling Holders as promptly as practicable and, if requested by such Persons,
to confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has
become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus,
any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not
misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or
exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or blue sky laws, each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the
earliest practicable time; 
 (iv) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement or if a Prospectus is required
to be delivered by any Broker-Dealer in the case of an Exchange Offer, furnish without charge to each of the Initial Purchasers, each selling Holder named in any Registration Statement, and each of the underwriter(s), if any, before filing with the
Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein (including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration Statement), and permit one legal counsel to the Initial Purchasers
and such Holders and underwriter(s), if any, with an opportunity to review and comment upon any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all such documents incorporated by reference) at least five (5) Business Days prior to their

file any documents to which such legal counsel to the Initial Purchasers and such Holders and underwriter(s), if any, reasonably objects in writing (it being agreed that such writing may for this purpose be in electronic format). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Issuers shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 6(c)(iv) that are not, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Issuers, in compliance with applicable law or to include any disclosure which at the time
would have an adverse effect on the business or operations of the Issuers and/or their subsidiaries, as determined in good faith by the Issuers; 

(v) promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement
or Prospectus, provide copies of such document, to the extent requested, to the Initial Purchasers, each selling Holder named in any Registration Statement, and to the underwriter(s), if any, make the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’
representatives available for discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters, and include such information in such document prior to the filing thereof as such selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, reasonably may request;

 (vi) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement or if a Prospectus is required to be delivered by any
Broker-Dealer in the case of an Exchange Offer, make available at reasonable times for inspection by the Initial Purchasers, the managing underwriter(s), if any, participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and one firm

Persons and cause the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness and to participate in meetings with investors to the extent reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s), if any; 

(vii) if requested by any selling Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, promptly incorporate in any Registration
Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such selling Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation,
information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities, information with respect to the principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold to such underwriter(s), the purchase price being paid
therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Issuers are
notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

underwriter(s), if any, without charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules (without documents incorporated by reference
therein or exhibits thereto, unless requested); 
 (x) deliver to (A) in the case of an Exchange Offer, each
Broker-Dealer who submits a written request to the Issuers and (ii) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each
preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request; each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby consents to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the
selling Holders and each of the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; 

(xi) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement), and
make such customary representations and warranties, and take all such other customary and appropriate actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any Shelf
Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, all to such extent as may be reasonably requested by any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or underwriter in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any Shelf Registration
Statement contemplated by this Agreement; and whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration is an Underwritten Registration, each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall: 

(A) to the extent reasonably requested, furnish to each Initial Purchaser, each selling Holder and each underwriter, if
any, in such substance and scope as they may reasonably request and as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings, upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement:

or any Vice President and (z) a principal financial or accounting officer of each of the Issuers and the Guarantors, confirming, as of the date thereof, the matters set forth in paragraphs (e), (g) and (h) of Section 6 of the
Purchase Agreement and such other matters as such parties may reasonably request;

 (2) an opinion of counsel for the Issuers and the Guarantors, covering
substantially the subject matter of the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Purchase Agreement, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement; and 

(3) a customary comfort letter, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, from the
Issuers’ independent accountants, in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily requested to be covered in comfort letters by underwriters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, and covering or affirming the
matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section 6(d) of the Purchase Agreement; 

(B) set forth in full or incorporate by reference in the underwriting agreement, if any, the indemnification provisions
and procedures of Section 8 hereof with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section; and 

(C) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by such parties and as are customarily
delivered in similar offerings to evidence compliance with Section 6(c)(xi)(A) hereof and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Issuers or any of the Guarantors pursuant to
this Section 6(c)(xi), if any. 
 If at any time the representations and warranties of the Issuers and the Guarantors
contemplated by the certificate furnished pursuant to Section 6(c)(xi)(A)(1) hereof cease to be true and correct, the Issuers or the Guarantors shall so advise the Initial Purchasers and the underwriter(s), if any, and each selling Holder
promptly and, if requested by such Persons, shall confirm such advice in writing; 
 (xii) in the case of a Shelf
Registration Statement, prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the
registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request in writing by the time the Shelf
Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that none of the Issuers nor the Guarantors shall be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not then so qualified or to take any action
that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 
  

 - 14 - 

 (xiii) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, issue, upon the
request of any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, Exchange Securities having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities surrendered to
the Issuers by such Holder in exchange therefor or being sold by such Holder; such Exchange Securities to be registered in the name of such Holder or in the name of the purchaser(s) of such Securities, as the case may be; in return, the Transfer
Restricted Securities held by such Holder shall be surrendered to the Issuers for cancellation; 
 (xiv)
cooperate with the selling Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such
Transfer Restricted Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may request at least three Business Days prior to any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities made by such Holders
or underwriter(s); 
 (xv) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the disposition of
such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to the proviso contained in Section 6(c)(xii) hereof; 
 (xvi)
if any fact or event contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof shall exist or have occurred, use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or
any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain at the time of such delivery any untrue
statement of any material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 

(xvii) provide a CUSIP number for all Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement covering
such Securities and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for such Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company and take all other action necessary to ensure that all such
Securities are eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company;

material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 under the Securities
Act (which need not be audited) for the twelve-month period (A) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Transfer Restricted Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts Underwritten Offering or
(B) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, beginning with the first month of the Issuers’ first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement; provided that such requirement will be
deemed to be satisfied if the Issuers timely file complete and accurate information on their Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act; 

(xx) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act not later than the effective date of the first
Registration Statement required by this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders of Securities to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance
with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and to execute and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed
with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; and 
 (xxi) cause all
Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by Issuers are then listed if reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of Securities or the managing underwriter(s), if any. 
 Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer
Restricted Security that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuers of (i) the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof or (ii) the commencement a Suspension Period, such Holder will forthwith
discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof, or
until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Issuers that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. If
so directed by the Issuers, each Holder will deliver to the Issuers (at the Issuers’ expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities
that was current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Issuers shall give any such notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be
extended by the 
  

 - 16 - 

 
number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii)(D) or Section 4(c), as the case may be, hereof to and including
the date when each selling Holder covered by such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof or shall have received the Advice. 

SECTION 7. Registration Expenses. 

(a) All expenses incident to the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by
the Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made by any Initial
Purchaser or Holder with FINRA (and, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” and its counsel that may be required by the rules and regulations of FINRA)); (ii) all fees and expenses of
compliance with federal securities and state securities or blue sky laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger
and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Issuers and the Guarantors and, subject to Section 7(b) hereof, the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; (v) all application and filing fees
in connection with listing the Exchange Securities on a securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements thereof; and (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Issuers and
the Guarantors (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance). 

Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors will, in any event, bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and
expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Issuers or the Guarantors. 

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), the Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered in the Exchange Offer and/or
resold pursuant to the “Plan of Distribution” contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of not
more than one counsel, who shall be Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP or such other counsel as may be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is
being prepared. 
 Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the
sale or disposition of such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.

 SECTION 8. Indemnification. 

(a) The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder and (ii) each
Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any Holder (any of the Persons referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a
“controlling person”) and (iii) the officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of any Holder (any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as an
“Indemnified Holder”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses (including, without limitation, and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating,
preparing, pursuing, settling, compromising, paying or defending any claim or action, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and
expenses of outside counsel to any Indemnified Holder), joint or several, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 does not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent arising out of an untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Issuers or Guarantors by any Holder or any underwriter, expressly for use therein. This
indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuers or any of the Guarantors may otherwise have. 
 In
case any action or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be brought or asserted against any of the Indemnified Holders with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Issuers or the
Guarantors, such Indemnified Holder (or the Indemnified Holder controlled by such controlling person) shall promptly notify the Issuers and the Guarantors in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve
any of the Issuers or the Guarantors of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. If such Indemnified Holder is entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 with
respect to any action or proceeding brought by a third party, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Holder. Upon assumption by
the Issuers and the Guarantors of the defense of any such action or proceeding, such Indemnified Holder shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel but the Issuers and the Guarantors shall not be
liable for any legal fees and expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Holder in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Issuers and the Guarantors have agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the
Issuers and the Guarantors shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Holder in a timely manner or (iii) such Indemnified Holder shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential
conflicting interests 
  

 - 18 - 

 
between the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Indemnified Holder, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Holder that are inconsistent with
or additional to those available to the Issuers and the Guarantors; provided, however, that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related
actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified
Holders. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by the Issuers and the Guarantors in accordance with the foregoing without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Holder unless such compromise or settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Holder from all liability arising out of such action, claim, litigation or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Holder. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Holders under this Section 8 for any amount paid or payable by the
Indemnified Holders in connection with the settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without the written consent of the Issuers and the Guarantors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

(b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers, the
Guarantors and their respective directors, officers of the Issuers and the Guarantors who sign a Registration Statement, and any Person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act)
the Issuers or any of the Guarantors, and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of each such Person, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuers and the Guarantors to each of the
Indemnified Holders, but only with respect to claims and actions based on information furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Issuers, the
Guarantors or their respective directors or officers or any such controlling person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, such Holder shall have the rights and duties given the Issuers and
the Guarantors, and the Issuers, the Guarantors, their respective directors and officers and any such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to each Holder by the preceding paragraph. 

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or
(b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement (which in the case of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total gross proceeds to the Issuers
and the Guarantors from the Initial Placement), the amount of Additional Interest which did not become payable as a result of the filing of the Registration Statement resulting in such losses,

  

 - 19 - 

 
claims, damages, liabilities, judgments actions or expenses, and such Registration Statement, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the relative fault of the Issuers and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the Issuers, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Holder, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers or any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth in the second paragraph of Section 8(a) hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. 

The Issuers, the Guarantors and each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 8(c) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, none
of the Holders (and the related Indemnified Holders) shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount received by such Holder with respect to the Initial Securities exceeds the amount
of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(c) are several in proportion to the respective
principal amount of Initial Securities held by each of the Holders hereunder and not joint. 
 SECTION 9. Rule 144A.

 Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities
remain outstanding, to make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner,
the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. 

 

 - 20 - 

 SECTION 10. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. 

No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s
Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney,
indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

SECTION 11. Selection of Underwriters. 

The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer
Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) that will administer such offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) must be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuers. 

SECTION 12. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Remedies. Each of the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers hereby agrees that monetary damages would not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 

(b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors will not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into
any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with
and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of an Issuer’s or any of the Guarantors’ securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. 

(c) Adjustments Affecting the Securities. The Issuers will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to the
Securities that would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Holders to Consummate any Exchange Offer. 
 (d)
Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Issuers have (i) in the case of
Section 5 hereof and this Section 12(d)(i), obtained the written consent of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case of all other provisions hereof, obtained the written consent of Holders of a
majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding any Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Issuers or their respective Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from
the provisions 
  

 - 21 - 

 
hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other
Holders whose securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered or registered; provided, however, that,
with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Issuers shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser with respect to which such amendment, qualification,
supplement, waiver, consent or departure is to be effective.

provided for or permitted here under shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), telex, telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:
