of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note upon written request in accordance with DTC’s and the Registrar’s procedures. In addition, Definitive Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their
beneficial interests in a Global Note if (a) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Note or DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is
required to be so registered in order to act as depository, and in each case a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (b) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee and Registrar an

 If an Officer whose signature is
on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless. 
 A Note shall
not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually authenticates the Note. The signature of the Trustee on a Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture.

  
 8 

 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery: (1) Notes of a series for original issue on the Issue Date therefor in an aggregate principal amount specified in the applicable Authentication Order and (2) any Additional Notes
of such series for original issue from time to time after the initial Issue Date for such series in such principal amounts as set forth in Section 2.14, in each case upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company (an
“Authentication Order”). Such Authentication Order shall specify the principal amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the issue of Notes is to be authenticated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Company may from time to time, without notice to or consent of the Holders, issue such additional principal amounts of Additional Notes as may be issued and authenticated pursuant to clause (2) of this paragraph, and Notes
authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of the same series pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 2.08, Section 2.09, Section 3.06 or Section 9.04. 

The Trustee may appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes.
Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such 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 Authenticating
Agent. 
 In case the Company, pursuant to Article 5, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or
the Person that shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto (if not otherwise a party to the Indenture) with the Trustee pursuant to Article 5, any of the
Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the successor
Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon receiving an Authentication Order of the
successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person (if other than the Company) pursuant
to this Section 2.02 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person (if other than the Company), at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of
all Notes at the time outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name. 
 In connection with the transfer, authentication
or cancellation of any Notes by the Trustee, in addition to the other requirements of this Article 2, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (x) an Officer’s Certificate as provided in Section 10.03(a) and (y) an Opinion of
Counsel as provided in Section 10.03(b) which shall also state (1) that the form and terms of the Notes have been established in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and (2) that the Notes, when duly executed by the
Company and authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided for in the Indenture, and duly paid for by the purchasers thereof, and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute the valid and legally binding
obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to customary exceptions. 

Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where
Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the
Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any such additional paying agent. The Company may change the Registrar or appoint one or more co-Registrars without notice. 
 In the event the Company shall retain any Person not a party to this
Indenture as an agent hereunder, the Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the Trust Indenture Act. The agreement shall
implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of each such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as
such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company shall be responsible for the fees and compensation of all agents appointed or approved by it. Either the Company or any of its domestically
incorporated wholly-owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent
for the Notes.

 Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in
Trust. By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest when due.
The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Noteholders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or
interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Company in making any such payment. If either of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent
and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this
Section 2.04, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, the
Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.05. Noteholder Lists. The
Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each series. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall cause the Registrar to
furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five 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 Noteholders. 
 Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes (other than Section 2.01(e) hereof), transfers and exchanges of Notes of any series and beneficial interests in a Global Note of the kinds specified in this Section 2.06 shall be made only
in accordance with this Section 2.06. 
 (a) Non-Global Note to Non-Global Note. A Note that is not a Global Note may be transferred, in whole or in part, to a person who takes delivery in the form of another Note of such series that is not a Global Note in accordance with
Section 2.03. 
 The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to
Section 2.01 or this Section 2.06. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the
Registrar. 
 (b) Exchange between Global Note and Non-Global Note. A beneficial interest in a
Global Note may be exchanged for a Note of such series that is not a Global Note as provided in Section 2.01(e). 

(c) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. 

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of
this Article 2, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s or co-registrar’s written request. 

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges payable upon exchange or transfer
pursuant to Section 3.06 or Section 9.04). 
 (iii) The Registrar or
co-registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note for a period beginning (A) 15 days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes of any series
and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (B) 15 days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date. 

(iv) Prior to the due presentation for payments, registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and
interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar shall be affected by
notice to the contrary. 
 (v) All Notes of any series issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of
this Indenture shall be the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes of such series surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

  
 10 

 (vi) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a
Global Note pursuant to Section 2.01(d) shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.01(c). 
 (d) No Obligation of the
Trustee. 
 (i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a
member of, or a participant in, DTC or other Person in respect of any aspect of the records, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records, relating to beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note, 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 to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) 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 such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to
Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only
through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee and the Company may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any
beneficial owners. 
 (ii) 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 of any series (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. 
 (e) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A
Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by DTC to a nominee of DTC, by a nominee of DTC to DTC or to another nominee of DTC or by DTC or any such nominee to a successor depositary or to a nominee of such successor depositary. 

Neither the Trustee nor any agent thereof shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by DTC or any successor depositary.

 Section 2.07. Business Days. If a payment date is on a date that is not a Business Day,
payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the intervening period. If a regular record date is on a day that is not a Business Day, the record date shall not be affected.

 Section 2.08. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or
if the Holder of a Note shall provide the Company and the Trustee with evidence to their satisfaction that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note of the
same series if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. In addition, such Holder shall furnish an
indemnity or surety bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee
may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel. Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company. 

Section 2.09. Outstanding Notes. Notes of any series outstanding at any time are all Notes
authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled, those delivered for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company
holds the Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company
receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If, by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, the
Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date or maturity date money that has been irrevocably deposited with it and that is sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with
respect to the Notes of any series (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

  
 11 

 Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until
Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company
considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Definitive Notes. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable
for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Notes, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, one or more Definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of Definitive Notes. 

Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation and such delivery shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate in which the Company directs the Trustee to cancel such Notes. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes
surrendered to them for registration of transfer or exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange,
payment or cancellation and, upon the written request of the Company, deliver evidence of such cancellation to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, but
this shall not prohibit the Company from issuing any Additional Notes. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee may be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its then customary practices and procedures. 

Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the
Notes of any series, the Company shall pay defaulted interest plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful at the rate specified therefor in the Notes of such series in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest
to the Persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee, which specified record date shall not be
less than 10 days prior to the payment date for such defaulted interest and shall promptly send or cause to be sent to each Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.
The Company shall notify the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note of the affected series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall,
at least one Business Day prior to such payment date, deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest,, such money when so deposited to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Person entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. 

Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers, etc. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP”
or “ISIN” numbers and/or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders;
provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made by the Trustee as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or exchange and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of
any change in the CUSIP numbers and/or other similar numbers. 
 Section 2.14. Issuance of
Additional Notes. The Company shall be entitled to issue, from time to time, without the consent of holders, Additional Notes of any series under this Indenture, which shall have identical terms as the Notes of such series issued on the initial
Issue Date for such series (in each case, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto), as the case may be; provided that if the Additional Notes are
not fungible with the Notes of such series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. 

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a Board Resolution and an Officer’s Certificate, copies of which
shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 
 (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional
Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and 
 (ii) the issue price, the Issue Date and the
“CUSIP” and “ISIN” number of any such Additional Notes and the amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto. 

  
 12 

 Section 2.15. One Class of
Notes. The Notes of any series and any Additional Notes of such series of Notes shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class; and none of the Notes of any series or any Additional Notes of such series shall have the right to vote
or consent as a separate class on any matter. 
 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION 
 
Section 3.01. Applicability of this Article. Redemption of Notes of a series, as permitted or required by any form of Note of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture or the documentation providing therefor, shall be made
in accordance with such form of Note or documentation and this Article 3; provided, however, that if any provision of any such form of Note or documentation shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the provision of such form
of Note or documentation shall govern. 
 Section 3.02. Notices to Trustee; Selection of Notes
to Be Redeemed. If the Company elects to redeem Notes of any series pursuant to the terms thereof, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. 

The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.02 at least 15 days before the Redemption Date unless
the Trustee consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate from the Company to the effect that such redemption shall comply with the conditions herein. The record date relating to such redemption
shall be selected by the Company and set forth in the related notice given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not less than 15 days prior to the date selected for redemption by the Company. 

Any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. 

If fewer than all the Notes of a series then outstanding are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes of such series to be redeemed
pro rata or by lot or by such method as the Trustee may deem fair and appropriate and in the case of Notes held in book entry form, in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures. 

The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. Notes and portions thereof that the Trustee
selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall promptly notify
the Company of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed. 
 Section 3.03. Notice of
Redemption. At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Notes, the Company shall mail (or, at the Company’s option in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, send by electronic transmission) a notice of
redemption by first-class mail (or electronic transmission as applicable) to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. 

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

(a) the aggregate amount of Notes to be redeemed; 

(b) the Redemption Date; 

(c) the redemption price (or the method of calculating such price) and the amount of accrued interest to be paid, if any; 

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

(e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any; 
 (f) if fewer than all the outstanding Notes of the affected series are to be redeemed, the certificate number (if
certificated) and principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed; 
 (g) that, unless the Company defaults in making such
redemption payment, interest on Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; 

  
 13 

 (h) the CUSIP number, or any similar number, if any, printed on the Notes being
redeemed; 
 (i) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, or any similar number, if any, listed
in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 
 (j) if applicable, any condition or conditions precedent to such redemption. 

At the Company’s written request (which may be rescinded or revoked at any time prior to the time at which the Trustee shall have given
such notice to the Holders), the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the name of the Company and at the Company’s expense (which notice shall be sent by electronic transmission in the case of Notes held in book-entry form). In such
event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.03 at least five Business Days prior to the date chosen for giving such notice to the Holders (unless the Trustee shall agree to a shorter period). The
notice, if sent in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail, electronically or any defect in the notice to the
Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Notes. 

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance
with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the redemption price as stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent on the Redemption Date, such Notes shall be paid at the
redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date; provided that the Company shall have deposited the redemption price with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or before 11:00
a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date; provided, further, that if the Redemption Date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable to the
Noteholder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder. 

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued
and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. ] All money, if any, earned on funds held by the Paying Agent shall be remitted to the Company. In addition, the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with
the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed. 

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of such redemption price, interest on the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed shall cease to
accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. 

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof (at the Company’s expense) a new Note of the same series, equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each new
Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time of such filing via EDGAR for purposes of this Section 4.03. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and its receipt of such reports
shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including compliance with any of the Company’s covenants under this Indenture or the Notes (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on the Officer’s Certificates provided for in Section 4.02 of this Indenture). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s
compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the SEC or EDGAR or any website under this Indenture or participate in any conference calls.

Section 5.01. When the Company May Merge or Transfer Assets. The Company shall not
consolidate with or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or merge with or into, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, any other Person, unless: 

(a) the Company shall be the continuing Person or, alternatively, the successor Person formed by or resulting from such consolidation or

ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 
Section 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs with respect to a series of Notes if: 

(a) a Default in any payment of interest on any Note of such series when the same becomes due and payable occurs, and such Default
continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (b) a Default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Note of such series
when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity occurs, upon optional redemption or otherwise, and the time for such payment has not been extended; 

(c) the Company fails to comply with any of its agreements in the relevant series of Notes or this Indenture (other than those referred
to in (a) or (b) above) and such failure continues for 90 days after the notice specified below; 
 (d) the Company pursuant to or
within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 
 (i) commences a voluntary case; 

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case in which it is the debtor; 

(iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; 

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 

(v) takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; or 

(e) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case; 

(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for any substantial part of the property of the Company; or 

(iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company; 

(or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws) and the order, decree or relief remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive
days. 
 An Event of Default under one series of Notes does not necessarily constitute an Event of Default under any other series of Notes.
The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order,
rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 
 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States
Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 

A Default with respect to Notes of a series under clause (c), of this Section 6.01 is not an Event of Default until the Trustee (by
written notice to the Company) or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series (by written notice to the Company and the Trustee) gives notice of the Default and the Company does not cure such
Default within the time specified in said clause (c) after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. 

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s
Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (c) of this Section 6.01, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

  
 16 

 Section 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of
Default with respect to Notes of a series (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(d) or 6.01(e) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders, shall, declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes of such
series to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or 6.01(e) with respect to the Company occurs
and is continuing, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if all existing Events of Default with respect to Notes of such series have been cured or
waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of such acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to a series of Notes occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee, in conformity with its duties under this Indenture, will exercise all rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders, provided, that the Holders provide the Trustee with an
indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability, cost or expense. 
 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 Noteholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative. 

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. At any time after a declaration of acceleration
specified in Section 6.02 with respect to Notes of any series and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as provided in this Indenture, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes of a series then outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of the Notes of such series, waive any past or existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of
the principal of or interest on a Note which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration or (b) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Noteholder affected.
No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. 

Section 6.05. Control by Majority. Upon provision of security or indemnity satisfactory to
the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each series then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Notes of
such series or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee, which may conclusively rely on opinions of counsel, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee
determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Noteholders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent
with such direction. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to
receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, a Holder of Notes may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

(a) An Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the relevant series of Notes and the Holder gives to the
Trustee prior written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the relevant series of Notes then outstanding (including any Additional Notes of the relevant series) make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 

(c) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liabilities, costs or
expenses in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the
request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (e) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the relevant
series of Notes then outstanding do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 

  
 17 

 A Noteholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to
obtain a preference or priority over another Noteholder of the relevant series (it being understood that the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such
Noteholders). 
 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the relevant series of the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Notes, 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 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to
the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07. 
 Section 6.09. Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or any other obligor upon the Notes, or any of their creditors or the property of the
Company or such other obligor or their creditors and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in
any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 

Section 6.10. Priorities. Any money or other property collected by the Trustee pursuant to
Article 6 hereof, or any money or other property otherwise distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, shall be applied in the following order: 

FIRST: to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) for amounts due under this Indenture; 

SECOND: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any
kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the relevant series of the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and 
 THIRD:
to the Company. 
 The Trustee may, upon prior written notice to the Company, fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Noteholders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall mail to each Noteholder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 

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 Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.
This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series. 

Section 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company (to the extent it may lawfully do
so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not 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 had been enacted.

TRUSTEE 
 
Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its

the Company reasonable notice of any expenditure not in the ordinary course of business. The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees and any predecessor Trustees against any and all fees, loss, damage, claim
(whether asserted by the Company, a Holder or any other Person) liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (other than taxes applicable to the Trustee’s compensation hereunder) incurred by it in connection
with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim of which a Trust Officer has received written notice and for which it may seek indemnity.
Failure by the Trustee so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate, to the extent reasonable, in the defense of any such claim, and, if (in
the opinion of counsel to the Trustee) the facts and/or issues surrounding the claim are reasonably likely to create a conflict with the Company, the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Trustee. The Company
need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability, cost or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this
Section 7.07, the Trustee (including any predecessor trustee) shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on
particular Notes. 
 The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction, discharge and
termination of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and any discharge of this Indenture including any discharge under any bankruptcy law. In addition to and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any of
the provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or 6.01(e), the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law. 
 Section 7.08. Replacement of
Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may remove the Trustee upon 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee
and may appoint a successor Trustee, which successor Trustee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 

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

(b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

  
 21 

 (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

 (d) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such Holders do not
reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company and the Company
shall pay all amounts due and owing to the Trustee under Section 7.07 of the Indenture. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties
of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders affected by such resignation or removal. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor
Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office with respect to the Notes
within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 1.01, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to
this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 
7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.09. Successor Trustee
by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation
without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7 and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto. 
 In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or
consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor
trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of
the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture. 

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the
requirements of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and any indenture or indentures under which other securities or
certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act are met. 

Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of
Claims Against the Company. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed
shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent indicated. 
 ARTICLE 8 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance. (a) With respect to a series
of Notes, when (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Notes of such series that have not already been delivered to the Trustee for 

  
 22 

 
cancellation or (ii) (A) all outstanding Notes of such series have become due and payable, whether at maturity, as a result of repayment at the option of the Holders or as a result of the
mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article 3 hereof or (B) the Notes of such series shall become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or the Notes of such series are to be called for redemption within one year
under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and, in each case of this clause (ii), the Company irrevocably deposits or causes to be deposited
with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Notes of such series, including interest thereon to maturity or such Redemption Date, and if in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) the Company pays all
other sums payable hereunder by the Company then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further effect. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Company, accompanied
by an Officer’s Certificate from the Company and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company that all conditions precedent provided herein for satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with, at the cost and expense of the
Company. 
 (b) Subject to Section 8.01(c) and Section 8.02, the Company at any time may terminate (i) all of its
obligations under the Notes of a series and this Indenture as it relates to such Notes (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03 and 4.04 and the operation of Section 6.01(c) as it
relates to a series of Notes (“covenant defeasance option”). The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option as it relates to a series of Notes notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option as it relates
to such Notes. 
 If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option with respect to the Notes of a series, payment of the Notes of such
series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(c), 6.01(d)
or 6.01(e). 
 Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing
the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates. 
 (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the
Company’s obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.08, 4.01, 7.07, 7.08, 8.04, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive until the Notes of each series have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s and the Trustee’s obligations in Sections
7.07, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
 Section 8.02. Conditions
to Defeasance. The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option with respect to a series of the Notes only if: 

(a) the Company irrevocably deposits or causes to be deposited in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations that through
the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms shall provide cash at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due on all outstanding Notes of such
series (except Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.08) to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
 (b) the Company delivers
to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants or valuation consultants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S.
Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment shall provide cash at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due on all outstanding Notes of such series to maturity or redemption,
as the case may be; 
 (c) 91 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 91-day period
no Default specified in Sections 6.01(d) or 6.01(e) occurs that is continuing at the end of the period; 
 (d) the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company; 

(e) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that
(i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the
effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of Notes of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be
subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; 

  
 23 

 (f) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of Notes of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal
income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and 

(g) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes as contemplated by this Article 8 have been complied with. 
 Before or after a
deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of any of the Notes at a future date in accordance with Article 3. 

Section 8.03. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S.
Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations either directly or through the Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine and in
accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the series of the Notes that was defeased. 
 
Section 8.04. Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time. 

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money
held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after the date of payment of such principal and interest, and, thereafter, Noteholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors and the Trustee shall be relieved of any liability. 
 Any unclaimed funds held by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.04
shall be held uninvested and without any liability for interest. 
 Section 8.05. Indemnity for
Government Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S.
Government Obligations other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the defeased Notes; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to charge any such tax, fee or other charge to such
Holder’s account. 
 Section 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is
unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture as it relates to the defeased Notes and such Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such
time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that (a) if the Company has made any payment of interest on
or principal of any series of the Notes following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the particular Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held
by the Trustee or Paying Agent and (b) unless otherwise required by any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall return all such money and U.S. Government Obligations to
the Company promptly after receiving a written request therefor at any time, if such reinstatement of the Company’s obligations has occurred and continues to be in effect. 

ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENTS 
 
Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Notes of a series without notice to or consent of any Noteholder of such series:

 (l) to conform the provisions of this Indenture
to the “Description of Our Debt Securities” and any similar sections of any prospectus prepared in connection with the issuance of the Notes (with the basis for any such annulment pursuant to this clause (l) to be set forth in an
Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee); 
 (m) to make changes to this Indenture applicable only to other series of Notes
issuable hereunder; and 
 (n) to change any other provision if the change does not materially adversely affect the interests of any
Noteholder of such series, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee. 
 After an amendment under this
Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Noteholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Noteholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment
under this Section 9.01. 
 Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders. The Company and the
Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Notes of a series without notice to any Noteholder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding of such series (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for Notes). However, without the consent of each Noteholder affected, an amendment may not: 

(i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or installment of interest on, any Note; 

(ii) reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Notes; 

(iii) reduce any premium payable on the redemption or required repurchase of any Note or change the date on which any Note
may or must be redeemed, repaid or required to be repurchased;

principal amount of the outstanding Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required in order to take certain actions;

 25 

 (vii) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Notes; 

(vii) modify any of the above provisions of this Section 9.02. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment under this Section 9.02
becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Noteholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Noteholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this
Section 9.02. 
 Section 9.03. Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an
amendment, supplement or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the 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 or
waiver is not made on the Note. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Notes, it shall bind every Noteholder. 

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Noteholders entitled to give their
consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Noteholders at such record
date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. 

Section 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note,
the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Company shall provide in writing to the Trustee an appropriate notation to be placed on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively,
if the Company or the Trustee so determine, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not
affect the validity of such amendment. 
 Section 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The
Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing
such amendment the Trustee shall receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 10.03,
an Officer’s Certificate of the Company and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment complies with the provisions of this Article 9 and that such supplemental indenture constitutes the legal valid and binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with its terms subject to customary exceptions. 
 Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this
Article 9, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental Indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Noteholder theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be
bound thereby. 
 SECTION 9.06. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this
Indenture or the Notes of any series shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

 U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of % per
annum. 
 The Company shall pay interest semiannually on and of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”),
commencing on [                    ], 20[    ]. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from
[                    ], 20[    ] [date of issuance of any Additional Notes], or from the most recent date to which interest has
been paid on the Notes. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

2. Method of Payment 
 By no later than
11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal of or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such principal and/or interest. The
Company shall pay interest (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the [            ] or
[            ] immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are cancelled, repurchased or redeemed after the record date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. Holders
must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect
of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by the transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company. The Company may make all payments in
respect of a Definitive Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof or by wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee. 

3. Paying Agent and Registrar 
 Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”), shall initially act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Noteholder. The Company or any of its
domestically organized wholly-owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent. 
 4. Indenture 

The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
[                    ], 20[    ] (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof,
the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§
77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “Trust Indenture Act”). Terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Noteholders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of those terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and
be controlling. 
 The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Indenture. The
Notes of this series include the Notes of this series issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes of this series issued in accordance with Section 2.14 of the Indenture. The Notes of this series and any Additional Notes of this series are
treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to create liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and enter into mergers and
consolidations. 
 5. Redemption 
 The
Notes shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the Company, 

  
 A-3 

 
at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled
Payments, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date; provided that if the Company redeems any Notes on or after
[                    ], 20[    ] ([    ] months prior to the stated maturity date of the Notes), the
redemption price for those Notes will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 

In determining the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, the Company will discount such payments to the redemption date on a
semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus [    ] basis
points. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as
having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt
securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect
to any Redemption Date, (1) the arithmetic average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Company obtains fewer than
four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the arithmetic average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means [            ] or their
respective successors as may be appointed from time to time by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“Primary Treasury Dealer” means a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means [            ] and
[            ] or their respective successors as may be appointed from time to time by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury
Dealer, the Company will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with
respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to any Note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Note that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such
Note, the amount of the next scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to
maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding that Redemption Date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue. In determining this rate, the Company will assume a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of
its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. 
 Except as set forth above and in Section 5 of
the Notes, the Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to maturity. 
 The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any
sinking fund. 
 6. Notice of Redemption 

At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Notes of this series, the Company shall mail (or, at the
Company’s option in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, send by electronic transmission) a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations of principal
amount larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be

  
 A-4 

 
redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date (or, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is the Paying
Agent, such money is segregated and held in trust) and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest shall cease to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 

7. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 
 The
Notes are in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of principal amount of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register, transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar
may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes
selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) for a period beginning 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed and ending on the date of
such mailing. 
 8. Persons Deemed Owners 

The registered holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

9. Unclaimed Money 
 If money for the
payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years after the date of payment of principal and interest, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the
money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment. 
 10. Defeasance 

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes
of this series and the Indenture as it relates to the Notes of this series if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case
may be. 
 11. Amendment, Waiver 

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes and (ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for Notes). However, the Indenture requires the consent of each Noteholder that would be affected for certain specified amendments or
modifications of the Indenture and the Notes. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Noteholder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes, among other things, to cure any
ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such Person of the obligations of the Company in accordance with Article 5 of the Indenture, or to add any
additional Events of Default, or to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company, or to add one or more guarantees for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes
or to release one or more guarantees in accordance with the Indenture, or to add collateral security with respect to the Notes, or to add or appoint a successor or separate trustee or other agent, or to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes,
or to comply with any requirements in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, or to comply with the rules of any applicable
securities depository or to conform the provisions of the Indenture to the “Description of Notes” or “Description of Debt Securities” sections of any offering memorandum or prospectus prepared in connection with the issuance of
the Notes (with the basis for any such annulment to be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate), or to make changes to the Indenture applicable only to other series of Notes issuance thereunder, or to change any other provision if the change does
not adversely affect the interests of any Noteholder. 
 12. Defaults and Remedies 

Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (a) a Default in any payment of interest on any Note of such series when the same becomes
due and payable occurs, and such default continues for a period of 30 days; (b) a Default in the 

  
 A-5 

 
payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Note of such series when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity occurs, upon optional redemption or otherwise; (c) the
Company fails to comply with any of its agreements in the Notes or the Indenture (other than those referred to in (a) or (b) above) and such failure continues for 90 days after the notice specified below; and (d) certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company. 
 A Default with respect to Notes of a series under clause (c) above is not an Event
of Default until the Trustee (by written notice to the Company) or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series (by written notice to the Company and the Trustee) gives notice of the Default and
the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified in said clause (c) after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default”.

 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to Notes of this series, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes of this series may declare all the Notes of this series to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company are Events of Default which will result in the Notes
of this series being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. 
 Noteholders may not enforce the Indenture
or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes of this series may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Noteholders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of
principal or interest) if it in good faith determines that withholding notice is not opposed to their interest. 
 13. Trustee Dealings with the Company

 Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity,
may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company and may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 

14. No Recourse Against Others 
 A
director, officer, employee or stockholder (other than the Company), as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of
such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Noteholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes. 

15. Authentication 
 This Note shall not
be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent acting on its behalf) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note. 

16. Abbreviations 
 Customary
abbreviations may be used in the name of a Noteholder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (tenants in common), TEN ENT (tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (custodian) and
U/G/M/A (Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 
 17. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers 

The Company has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers and/or other similar numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP
and ISIN numbers and/or other similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders. No representation is made by the Trustee as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of
redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 
 18. Governing Law 

This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Agreements:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, the Borrower and the Lender hereby agree as follows:

(B)On the Effective Date and after giving effect to the amendments contained herein (i) there shall exist no Event of Default, and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement, as amended by this First Amendment, shall be true and correct as of the Effective Date, subject only to variances therefrom acceptable to the Lender.

3
