	 	(b)	Debt Securities of that series for whose payment or redemption money in the necessary amount has been theretofore deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent (other

disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent or waiver, only Debt Securities which an officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Debt Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes

Section 2.04 Execution of Debt Securities. The Debt Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Partnership by the Chairman
of the Board, the President or a Vice President of the General Partner and on behalf of Finance Co by its Chairman of the Board, the President or a Vice President and, if the seal of the General Partner or Finance Co is reproduced thereon, it shall
be attested by its Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, a Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the General Partner or Finance Co, as applicable. Such signatures upon the Debt Securities may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any
future such authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debt Securities. The seal of the General Partner, if any, may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced
on the Debt Securities. 
 Only such Debt Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the
form hereinbefore recited, signed manually by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Debt Security executed by the General Partner on behalf
of the Partnership and Finance Co, as applicable, shall be conclusive evidence that the Debt Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  

 11 

 In case any officer of the General Partner or Finance Co who shall have signed any of the
Debt Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Debt Securities so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Issuers, such Debt Securities nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or
disposed of as though the Person who signed such Debt Securities had not ceased to be such officer of the General Partner or Finance Co; and any Debt Security may be signed on behalf of the General Partner or Finance Co by such Persons as, at the
actual date of the execution of such Debt Security, shall be the proper officers of the General Partner or Finance Co, as applicable, although at the date of such Debt Security or of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such
officer. 
 Section 2.05 Authentication and Delivery of Debt Securities. At any time and from time to time after the
execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuers may deliver Debt Securities of any series executed by the Issuers to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Debt Securities to or upon an
Issuer Order. In authenticating such Debt Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Debt Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully
protected in relying upon: 
 (a) a copy of any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, certified by the Secretary
or Assistant Secretary of the General Partner, authorizing the terms of issuance of any series of Debt Securities; 
 (b) an
executed supplemental Indenture, if any; 
 (c) an Officers’ Certificate; and 

(d) an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 13.05 which shall also state: 

(i) that the form of such Debt Securities has been established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors or
by a supplemental Indenture as permitted by Section 2.01 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(ii) that the terms of such Debt Securities have been established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors
or by a supplemental Indenture as permitted by Section 2.03 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(iii) that such Debt Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuers in the manner
and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuers, enforceable in accordance with their terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability; 

 

 12 

 (iv) that the Partnership has the partnership power to issue such Debt
Securities and has duly taken all necessary partnership action with respect to such issuance; 
 (v) if
applicable, that Finance Co has the corporate power to issue such Debt Securities and has duly taken all necessary corporate action with respect to such issuance; 

(vi) that the issuance of such Debt Securities will not contravene the organizational documents of the Partnership or
Finance Co or result in any material violation of any of the terms or provisions of any law or regulation or of any material indenture, mortgage or other agreement known to such counsel by which the Partnership or Finance Co, as applicable, is
bound; 
 (vii) that authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities and the execution and delivery of any
supplemental Indenture will not violate the terms of this Indenture; and 
 (viii) such other matters as the
Trustee may reasonably request. 
 Such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to whether a court in the United States
would render a money judgment in a currency other than that of the United States. 
 The Trustee shall have the right to decline
to authenticate and deliver any Debt Securities under this Section 2.05 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees,
executive committee or a trust committee of directors, trustees or vice presidents (or any combination thereof) shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate Debt Securities of any series.
Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Debt Securities 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 any Registrar, paying agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 
 Unless
otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for any series, each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

Section 2.06 Denomination of Debt Securities. Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for any series, the Debt
Securities of each series shall be issuable only as fully registered Debt Securities in such Dollar denominations as shall be specified or contemplated by Section 2.03. In the absence of any such specification with respect to the Debt
Securities of any series, the Debt Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 
  

 13 

 Section 2.07 Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) The Issuers shall keep or cause to be kept a register for each series of Debt Securities issued hereunder (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Debt Security Register”), in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuers shall provide for the registration of all Debt Securities and the transfer of Debt Securities as in this
Article II provided. At all reasonable times the Debt Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Subject to Section 2.15, upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debt Security at any office or agency to be
maintained by the Issuers in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of
authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount. In no event may Debt Securities be issued as, or exchanged for, bearer securities. 

Unless and until otherwise determined by the Issuers by resolution of the Board of Directors, the register of the Issuers for the purpose
of registration, exchange or registration of transfer of the Debt Securities shall be kept at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee and, for this purpose, the Trustee shall be designated “Registrar.” 

Debt Securities of any series (other than a Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal
amount of Debt Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations. Subject to Section 2.15, Debt Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the office or agency to be maintained by the Issuers as provided in
Section 4.02, and the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Debt Security or Debt Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. 

(b) All Debt Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or payment shall (if so required by the Issuers,
the Trustee or the Registrar) be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Issuers, the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in
writing. 
 All Debt Securities issued in exchange for or upon transfer of Debt Securities shall be the valid obligations of the
Issuers, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Debt Securities surrendered for such exchange or transfer. 

No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Debt Securities (except as provided by
Section 2.09), but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, other than those expressly provided in this Indenture to be made at
the Issuers’ own expense or without expense or without charge to the Holders. 
 The Issuers shall not be required
(i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Securities for a period of 15 days next preceding any mailing of notice of redemption of Debt Securities of such series or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debt
Securities selected, called or being called for redemption. 
  

 14 

 Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Debt Security, the
Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Debt Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payment of or on
account of the principal of, and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.12) interest on, such Debt Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Debt Security is overdue, and none of the Issuers, the Subsidiary
Guarantors, the Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 None of the Issuers,
the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, any agent of the Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests
of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

Section 2.08 Temporary Debt Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Issuers may
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Debt Securities (printed, lithographed, photocopied, typewritten or otherwise produced) of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Debt Securities
in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debt Securities, all as may be determined by the Issuers with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Debt
Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Debt Security shall be executed by the Issuers and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the
same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Debt Securities. 
 If temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued,
the Issuers will cause definitive Debt Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of such series, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for
definitive Debt Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Debt Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Issuers at a Place of Payment for such series, without charge to the Holder thereof, except as provided in
Section 2.07 in connection with a transfer. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Debt Securities of any series, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like
principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor. Until so exchanged, temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture
as definitive Debt Securities of such series. 
 Upon any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security for a definitive
Global Security or for the individual Debt Securities represented thereby pursuant to Section 2.07 or this Section 2.08, the temporary Global Security shall be endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the reduction of the principal amount
evidenced thereby, whereupon the principal amount of such temporary Global Security shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount to be exchanged and endorsed. 

 

 15 

 Section 2.09 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debt Securities. If
(a) any mutilated Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee at its corporate trust office or (b) the Issuers and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debt Security, and there is
delivered to the Issuers and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any paying agent harmless, and neither the Issuers nor the Trustee receives notice that such Debt Security has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, then the Issuers shall execute and, upon an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security, a new Debt Security of the same
series of like tenor, form, terms and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debt Security, the Issuers may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee, assessment
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Debt which has matured or is about to mature or which has been called for redemption shall become mutilated or be destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Issuers may, instead of issuing a substituted Debt Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debt Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish the
Issuers and the Trustee with such security or indemnity as either may require to save it harmless from all risk, however remote, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Issuers and the Trustee of the
destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security and of the ownership thereof. 
 Every substituted Debt Security of any series
issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.09 by virtue of the fact that any Debt Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuers, whether or not the destroyed, lost
or stolen Debt Security shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. All Debt Securities shall be
held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities, and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies,
notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. 

Section 2.10 Cancellation of Surrendered Debt Securities. All Debt Securities surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Issuers or any paying agent or a Registrar, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation by it, or if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be canceled by it, and no Debt Securities shall
be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. All canceled Debt Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) and
certification of their destruction delivered to the Issuers, unless otherwise directed. On request of the Issuers, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuers canceled Debt Securities held by the Trustee. If the Issuers shall acquire any of the Debt
Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Debt represented thereby unless and until the same are delivered or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Issuers may not issue new Debt
Securities to replace Debt Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  

 16 

 Section 2.11 Provisions of the Indenture and Debt Securities for the Sole Benefit of
the Parties and the Holders. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, the Holders or any Registrar or paying agent, any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all its covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, the Holders and
any Registrar and paying agents. 
 Section 2.12 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 

(a) Interest on any Debt Security that is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any interest payment date shall be paid
to the Person in whose name such Debt Security is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest notwithstanding the cancellation of such Debt Security upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the regular record
date. Payment of interest on Debt Securities shall be made at the corporate trust office of the Trustee (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03), or at the option of the Issuers, by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Debt Security Register or, if provided pursuant to Section 2.03 and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the option of the Holder by wire transfer to an account
designated by the Holder. 
 (b) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and Section 2.17, each Debt
Security of a particular series delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Debt Security of the same series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which
were carried by such other Debt Security. 
 Section 2.13 Securities Denominated in Dollars. Except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Debt Securities of any series, payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, Debt Securities of such series will be made in Dollars. 

Section 2.14 Wire Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Indenture, the Issuers may make any
payment of moneys required to be deposited with the Trustee on account of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities (whether pursuant to optional or mandatory redemption payments, interest payments or otherwise) by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Trustee before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date such moneys are to be paid to the Holders of the Debt Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. 

Section 2.15 Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security. 

(a) If the Issuers shall establish pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 that the Debt Securities of a particular series are to be issued in
whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee or its agent shall, in accordance with Section 2.05, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or Securities, which shall
represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or Securities, or such portion thereof as the Issuers shall specify
in an Officers’ Certificate, shall be 
  

 17 

 
registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, shall be delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the
Depositary’s instruction and shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: 
 “UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS

TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF
OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN,” 

or such other legend as may then be required by the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.15 or of Section 2.07 to the contrary, and subject to the provisions
of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Debt Securities in registered form, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in
part and in the manner provided in Section 2.07, only by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or a
nominee of the Depositary to a successor Depositary for such Global Security selected or approved by the Issuers, or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

(c) (i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security or Securities notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue
as Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or if at any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute, rule or regulation, the
Issuers shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security or Securities. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security or Securities is not appointed by the Issuers within 90 days after the Issuers receives such notice
or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such individual Debt Securities of such series in exchange for such Global
Security, will authenticate and deliver, individual Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for such Global Security
or Securities. 
  

 18 

 (ii) The Issuers may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that
the Debt Securities of any series or portion thereof issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Issuers will execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Debt Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Debt Securities of such series of like
tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such series or portion thereof in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

(iii) If specified by the Issuers pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 with respect to Debt Securities issued or issuable in
the form of a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are
acceptable to the Issuers, the Trustee and such Depositary. Thereupon the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series shall
authenticate and deliver, without service charge, to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Debt Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security; and to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any,
between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 

(iv) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Issuers will execute and the Trustee or
its agent will authenticate and deliver individual Debt Securities. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of a Global Security for individual Debt Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee or its agent. Except as
provided in the preceding paragraph, Debt Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security,
pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or the Registrar. The Trustee or the Registrar shall deliver such Debt Securities to the Persons in whose names such Debt Securities are so
registered. 
 Payments in respect of the principal of and interest on any Debt Securities registered in the name of the
Depositary or its nominee will be payable to the Depositary or such nominee in its capacity as the registered owner of such Global Security. The Issuers and the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name the Debt Securities, including the Global
Security, are registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving such payments and for any and all other purposes whatsoever. None of the Issuers, the Trustee, any Registrar, the paying agent or any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee will
have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the 
  

 19 

 
records relating to or payments made on account of the beneficial ownership interests of the Global Security by the Depositary or its nominee or any of the Depositary’s direct or indirect
participants, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary, its nominee or any of its direct or indirect participants relating to the beneficial ownership interests of the Global Security, the payments to the beneficial
owners of the Global Security of amounts paid to the Depositary or its nominee, or any other matter relating to the actions and practices of the Depositary, its nominee or any of its direct or indirect participants. None of the Issuers, the Trustee
or any such agent will be liable for any delay by the Depositary, its nominee, or any of its direct or indirect participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the Debt Securities, and the Issuers and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and
will be protected in relying on, instructions from the Depositary or its nominee for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Debt Securities to be issued). 

Section 2.16 Medium Term Securities. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Debt Securities of a series are
not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary for the Issuers to deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, resolutions of the Board of Directors, supplemental Indenture, Opinion of Counsel or written order or any
other document otherwise required pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.03, 2.05 or 13.05 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Debt Security of such series if such documents are delivered to the Trustee or its agent at or prior to the
authentication upon original issuance of the first such Debt Security of such series to be issued; provided, that any subsequent request by the Issuers to the Trustee to authenticate Debt Securities of such series upon original issuance shall
constitute a representation and warranty by the Issuers that, as of the date of such request, the statements made in the Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Sections 2.05 or 13.05 shall be true and correct as if made on such date and
that the Opinion of Counsel delivered at or prior to such time of authentication of an original issuance of Debt Securities shall specifically state that it shall relate to all subsequent issuances of Debt Securities of such series that are
identical to the Debt Securities issued in the first issuance of Debt Securities of such series. 
 An Issuer Order delivered by
the Issuers to the Trustee in the circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph, may provide that Debt Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or its agent on original issue from time to time
upon the telephonic or written order of Persons designated in such written order (any such telephonic instructions to be promptly confirmed in writing by such Person) and that such Persons are authorized to determine, consistent with the
Officers’ Certificate, supplemental Indenture or resolution of the Board of Directors relating to such written order, such terms and conditions of such Debt Securities as are specified in such Officers’ Certificate, supplemental Indenture
or such resolution. 
 Section 2.17 Defaulted Interest. Any interest on any Debt Security of a particular series
which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Debt Securities of such series and in this Indenture (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable
to the Holder thereof on the relevant record date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Issuers, at their election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: 

 

 20 

 (a) The Issuers may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose
names the Debt Securities of such series are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of
the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Debt Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the
proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuers, shall
cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first class postage pre-paid, to each Holder thereof at its address as it appears in the Debt Security Register, not less than 10 days
prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of such
series are registered at the close of business on such special record date. 
 (b) The Issuers may make payment of any Defaulted
Interest on the Debt Securities of such series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Debt Securities of such series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuers to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

Section 2.18 CUSIP Numbers. The Issuers in issuing the Debt Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally
in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on
the Debt Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Debt Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of
such numbers. The Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 

ARTICLE III 

REDEMPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES 

Section 3.01 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Debt Securities of any
series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Debt Securities of such series. 
  

 21 

 Section 3.02 Notice of Redemption; Selection of Debt Securities. In case the
Issuers shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Debt Securities of any series in accordance with their terms, by resolution of the Board of Directors or a supplemental Indenture, the Issuers shall fix
a date for redemption and shall give notice of such redemption at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of Debt Securities of such series so to be redeemed as a whole or in part, in the manner
provided in Section 13.03. The notice if given in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the
notice to the Holder of any Debt Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debt Security of such series. 

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price at which Debt Securities of such series
are to be redeemed (or the method of calculating such redemption price), the Place or Places of Payment that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities, that any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption
will be paid as specified in said notice, that the redemption is for a sinking fund payment (if applicable), that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, that, if the Issuers defaults in making such redemption payment, the paying agent is
prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, that on and after said date any interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue, that in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities
original issue discount accrued after the date fixed for redemption will cease to accrue, the terms of the Debt Securities of that series pursuant to which the Debt Securities of that series are being redeemed and 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 Debt Securities of that series. If less than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed the notice of redemption shall specify the
certificate numbers of the Debt Securities of that series to be redeemed. In case any Debt Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall
state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt Security, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of that series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof, will be issued. 

At least 45 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period, the Issuers shall
give written notice to the Trustee of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Debt Securities to be redeemed and the series and terms of the Debt Securities pursuant to which such redemption will occur. Such notice shall be accompanied by an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Issuers to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. If fewer than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such
redemption shall be selected by the Issuers and given in writing to the Trustee, which record date shall be not less than 15 days after the date of notice to the Trustee. 

By 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date for any Debt Securities, the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or with a
paying agent (or, if the Issuers are acting as their own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money in Dollars (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03) sufficient to pay the redemption price of such Debt Securities or
any portions thereof that are to be redeemed on that date, together with any interest accrued to the Redemption Date. 
  

 22 

 If less than all the Debt Securities of like tenor and terms of a series are to be redeemed,
the Trustee shall select, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Debt Securities of that series or portions thereof (in multiples of $1,000) to be redeemed. In any case
where more than one Debt Security of such series is registered in the same name, the Trustee in its discretion may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were represented by one Debt Security of such series. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Debt Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Debt Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. If any Debt Security called for redemption
shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof on such Redemption Date, the principal, premium, if any, and interest shall bear interest until paid from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Debt Securities of that series. If less than all the
Debt Securities of unlike tenor and terms of a series are to be redeemed, the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Issuers. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Debt Securities called for redemption also apply to
portions of Debt Securities called for redemption. 
 Section 3.03 Payment of Debt Securities Called for Redemption.
If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02, the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities of the series with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the Place or
Places of Payment stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Issuers shall default in the payment of such Debt Securities at
the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued to said date) any interest on the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities of any series so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, any original issue discount in the
case of Original Issue Discount Securities shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at the Place or Places of Payment in said notice specified, the said Debt Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be
paid and redeemed by the Issuers at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption. 

Any Debt Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the corporate trust office or such other office or agency
of the Issuers as is specified pursuant to Section 2.03 with, if the Issuers, the Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuers, the Registrar and the Trustee
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Debt Security without service charge, a new Debt Security or Debt
Securities of the same series, of like tenor and form, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Debt Security so surrendered;
except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in
exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. In the case of a Debt Security providing appropriate space for such notation, at the option of the 

 

 23 

 
Holder thereof, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Debt Security or Debt Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Debt Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof.

 Section 3.04 Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by
the terms of Debt Securities of any series, resolution of the Board of Directors or a supplemental Indenture is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of Debt Securities of any series, resolution of the Board of Directors or a supplemental Indenture is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” 

In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Debt Securities of a series in cash, the
Issuers may at their option (a) deliver to the Trustee Debt Securities of that series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Issuers or (b) receive credit for the principal amount of Debt Securities of that series which have
been redeemed either at the election of the Issuers pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities, resolution or supplemental
Indenture; provided, that such Debt Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Debt Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Debt Securities, resolution or
supplemental Indenture for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

Section 3.05 Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date
for any series of Debt Securities, the Issuers will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, any resolution or
supplemental Indenture, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Debt Securities of that series pursuant to this Section 3.05
(which Debt Securities, if not previously redeemed, will accompany such certificate) and whether the Issuers intend to exercise its right to make any permitted optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series. Such certificate shall also
state that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series. Such certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Issuers shall be obligated to make the cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any,
by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Issuers to deliver such certificate (or to deliver the Debt Securities specified in this paragraph) shall not constitute a Default, but such failure
shall require that the sinking fund payment due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for that series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of such Debt Securities subject to a mandatory
sinking fund payment without the option to deliver or credit Debt Securities as provided in this Section 3.05 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund payment, if any, with respect to such series. 

Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments
made in cash which shall equal or exceed $100,000 (or a lesser sum if the Issuers shall so request) with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment

  

 24 

 
date on which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the sinking fund payment date following the date of such payment) to the redemption of such
Debt Securities at the redemption price specified in such Debt Securities, resolution or supplemental Indenture for operation of the sinking fund together with any accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Any sinking fund moneys not so
applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption of Debt Securities shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 3.05. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Debt Securities of such series and not held for the
payment or redemption of particular Debt Securities shall be applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Debt Securities of that series at its
Stated Maturity. 
 The Trustee shall select the Debt Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the
manner specified in the last paragraph of Section 3.02 and the Issuers shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the manner provided in Section 3.02 except that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Debt
Securities are being redeemed by operation of the sinking fund. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03. 

The Trustee shall not redeem any Debt Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of such Debt
Securities by operation of the sinking fund for such series during the continuance of a Default in payment of interest on such Debt Securities or of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph)
with respect to such Debt Securities, except that if the notice of redemption of any such Debt Securities shall theretofore have been mailed in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such Debt Securities if cash sufficient
for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article III. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such Default or Event of Default shall
occur and any moneys thereafter paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such Default or Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of such Debt Securities; provided, however, that in case such Default or Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment date for such Debt Securities on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 3.05.

 (e) Delivery of the reports, information and documents
described in the subsections (a) and (b) above to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from
information contained therein, including the Issuers’ compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 

Section 4.06 Compliance Certificate. 

(a) The Issuers shall, so long as any of the Debt Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year of the Issuers, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Issuers and their Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers of the General

Issuers have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof, without regard to any grace period
or requirement of notice required by this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which such Officer may have knowledge and what action the Issuers are taking or
propose to take with 
  

 28 

 
respect thereto) and that to the best of his knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest,
if any, on the Debt Securities are prohibited or, if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto. 

(b) The Issuers shall, so long as any of the Debt Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee within 30 days after the occurrence
of any Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default, the status thereof and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto. 

Section 4.07 Further Instruments and Acts. The Issuers will, upon request of the Trustee, execute and deliver such further
instruments and do such further acts as may reasonably be necessary or proper to carry out more effectually the purposes of this Indenture. 

Section 4.08 Existence. Except as permitted by Article X hereof, the Issuers shall do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and all rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Issuers, provided that the Issuers shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise, if the Board of
Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuers. 

Section 4.09 Maintenance of Properties. The Issuers shall cause all properties owned by the Issuers or any of their
Subsidiaries or used or held for use in the conduct of its business or the business of any such Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and supplied with all necessary
equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Issuers may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly
and advantageously conducted at all times; provided that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Issuers from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Issuers, desirable
in the conduct of its business or the business of any such Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 

Section 4.10 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Issuers shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before
the same shall become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries or upon the income, profits or property of the Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries, and
(ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of the Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries; provided that the Issuers shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to
be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. 

Section 4.11 Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors may, with respect to the Debt Securities
of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant set forth in this Article IV (except Sections 4.01 through 4.08) or made applicable to such Debt Securities pursuant to Section 2.03, if, before or after the time for
such compliance, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt 
  

 29 

 
Securities of each series affected, waive such compliance in such instance with such covenant, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant except to the extent so expressly waived,
and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant shall remain in full force and effect. 

ARTICLE V 

HOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE TRUSTEE 

Section 5.01 Partnership to Furnish Trustee Information as to Names and Addresses of Holders; Preservation of Information.
The Issuers covenant and agree that they will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of each series: 

(a) not more than 10 days after each record date with respect to the payment of interest, if any, a list, in such form as the Trustee may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of such record date, and 
 (b) at such other times as the
Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Issuers of any such request, a list of similar form and contents as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; 

provided, however, that so long as the Trustee shall be the Registrar, such lists shall not be required to be furnished. 

The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the
Holders (i) contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in this Section 5.01 or (ii) received by it in the capacity of paying agent or Registrar (if so acting) hereunder. 

The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in this Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

 Section 5.02 Communications to Holders. Holders may communicate pursuant to Section 312(b) of the TIA with
other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Debt Securities. The Issuers, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of Section 312(c) of the TIA. 

Section 5.03 Reports by Trustee. Within 60 days after each January 31, beginning with the first January 31
following the date of this Indenture, and in any event on or before April 1 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a brief report dated as of such January 31 that complies with TIA Section 313(a); provided, however, that if
no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). 

 

 30 

 Reports pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall be transmitted by mail: 

(a) to all Holders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear in the Debt Security Register; and

and address appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 5.01. 
 A copy of
each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Debt Securities of any series are listed. The Issuers agree to notify promptly the Trustee
whenever the Debt Securities of any series become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 

Section 5.04 Record Dates for Action by Holders. If the Issuers shall solicit from the Holders of Debt Securities of any
series any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the Issuers may, at their option, by resolution of the Board of Directors, fix in advance a
record date for the determination of Holders of Debt Securities entitled to take such action, but the Issuers shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Issuers’ discretion. If such a record date is fixed,
such action may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of Debt Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders of Debt Securities for the purpose of determining
whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Debt Securities of such series Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such action, and for that purpose the Debt Securities of such series Outstanding shall be computed as of such record
date. 
 ARTICLE VI

days after the date on which written notice specifying such failure and requiring the Issuers, or if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantor, to remedy the same shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuers, or if applicable,

(g) if any series of Debt Securities Outstanding under this Indenture is entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee, the Guarantee of any of
the Subsidiary Guarantors ceases to be in full force and effect with respect to Debt Securities of that series (except as otherwise provided in this Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors
denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or such Guarantee; or 
  

 32 

 (h) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Debt Securities of that series; then
and in each and every case that an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (g), or (h) with respect to Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, unless the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on all the Debt Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder,
by notice in writing to the Issuers (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the principal of (or, if the Debt Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be
specified in the terms of that series), premium, if any, and interest on all the Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything
in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities of that series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default described in clause (e) or (f) occurs, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of and interest
on all the Debt Securities shall have become due and payable, the principal of (or, if any Debt Securities are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof), premium, if any,
and interest on all the Debt Securities then Outstanding hereunder 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, anything in this Indenture or in the Debt
Securities contained to the contrary notwithstanding. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of a particular series by written notice to the Trustee may waive all past Defaults (except with respect to the nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) and rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission
would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction already rendered and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due
solely because of acceleration. Upon any such rescission, the parties hereto shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the parties hereto shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been taken. 
 Section 6.02 Collection of Debt by Trustee, etc. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid or enforce the performance of
any provision of the Debt Securities of the affected series or this Indenture, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Subsidiary Guarantors or the
Issuers or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series (and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Issuers or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series wherever
situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable). 
 In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for
the reorganization of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Issuers or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of any series under any Bankruptcy Law, or in case a Custodian shall have been appointed for its property, or in case of any other similar
judicial proceedings relative to the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Issuers or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of any series, its creditors 

 

 33 

 
or its property, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of Debt Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole
amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest (or, if the Debt Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) owing and unpaid in
respect of the Debt Securities of such series, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents,
attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders thereof allowed in any such judicial proceedings
relative to the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Issuers, or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series, its creditors or its property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and
to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of such Holders and of the Trustee on their behalf, and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of such Holders to make payments to
the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Holders, to pay to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and
counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith. 

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Debt Securities of any series, may be enforced by
the Trustee without the possession of any such Debt Securities, or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of
an express trust, and any recovery of judgment (except for any amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06) shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of all the Debt Securities in respect of which such action was taken.

 In case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested
in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 

Section 6.03 Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys or other property collected by the Trustee pursuant to

Securities of such series in respect of which moneys or other property have been collected, and the notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

FIRST: To the payment of all money due the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06; 

 

 34 

 SECOND: In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt Securities in respect of which such
moneys have been collected shall not have become due, to the payment of interest on the Debt Securities of such series in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been
collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities) borne by the Debt Securities of such series, such payments to be made ratably to the
Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference; 
 THIRD: In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt
Securities in respect of which such moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such series for principal and premium, if any,
and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue
Discount Debt Securities) borne by the Debt Securities of such series; and, in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such series, then to the payment of such principal
and premium, if any, and interest, without preference or priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any
Debt Security of such series over any Debt Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and premium, if any, and interest; and 

FOURTH: The remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Issuers, as applicable, its successors or assigns, or to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 The Trustee may
fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.03. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuers shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date
and amount to be paid. 
 Section 6.04 Limitation on Suits by Holders. No Holder of any Debt Security of any series
shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of that same series and of the continuance thereof and unless
the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own
name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity or security as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity or security shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it
being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Debt Security with every other Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any 

 

 35 

 
manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any Holders, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference
to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all such Holders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this
Section 6.04, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, however, the right of any Holder of any Debt Security to receive payment of the
principal of, and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.12) interest on, such Debt Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debt Security, and to institute 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 6.05 Remedies
Cumulative; Delay or Omission in Exercise of Rights Not a Waiver of Default. All powers and remedies given by this Article VI to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any
thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission
of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid, shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence
therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or
by the Holders. 
 Section 6.06 Rights of Holders of Majority in Principal Amount of Debt Securities to Direct Trustee
and to Waive Default. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series at the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any right, trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Debt Securities of such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the
provisions of this Indenture, and that subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follosw any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel shall determine that the action so directed may
not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee shall by a responsible officer or officers determine that the action so directed would involve it in personal liability or would be unduly prejudicial to Holders of Debt Securities of such series not taking
part in such direction; and provided, further, however, that nothing in this Indenture contained shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by such Holders.
Prior to the acceleration of the maturity of the Debt Securities of any series, as provided in Section 6.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding may on behalf of
the Holders of all the Debt Securities of that series waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences for that series, except a Default in the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debt
Securities and a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected thereby. In case of any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of 
  

 36 

 
this Indenture, and the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debt Securities of that series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder,
respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.07 Trustee to Give Notice of Defaults Known to It, but May Withhold Such Notice in Certain Circumstances. The
Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a Default known to it, or if later, within 30 days after the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of the Default, with respect to a series of Debt Securities give to the Holders thereof, in the
manner provided in Section 13.03, notice of all Defaults with respect to such series known to the Trustee, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided, that, except in the case of Default in
the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debt Securities of such series or in the making of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a committee of directors or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the
Holders thereof. 
 Section 6.08 Requirement of an Undertaking to Pay Costs in Certain Suits under the Indenture or
Against the Trustee. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, 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, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit in the manner and to the extent
provided in the TIA, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 6.08 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 25 percent in
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt Security on or after the due date for
such payment expressed in such Debt Security. 
 ARTICLE VII 

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 

Section 7.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations should be read into the Indenture
against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise,
as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 
  

 37 

 No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for
its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own bad faith or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (a)
this paragraph shall not be construed to limit the effect of the first paragraph of this Section 7.01; 
 (b) prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default with respect to such series which may have occurred: 

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to Debt Securities of any series shall be determined solely by
the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations with respect to such series as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to such series shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; 
 (ii) in the
absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to
the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; but the Trustee shall examine the evidence furnished to it pursuant to Sections 4.05 and 4.06 to determine whether or not such evidence conforms to the requirement of this Indenture;

 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless
it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (iv) the Trustee
shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it with respect to Debt Securities of any series in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with
respect to Debt Securities of such series. 
 None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
  

 38 

 Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to
the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

Section 7.02 Certain Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01: 

(a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties; 
 (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuers mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced
by an Issuer Order (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of
the General Partner; 
 (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall
be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; 

(d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order
or direction of any of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which may be incurred therein or thereby; 
 (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good
faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 

(f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee
shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, approval or other paper or document, unless requested
in writing to do so by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Debt Securities of a series affected by such matter; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs,
expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding, and the reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the Issuers or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Issuers upon
demand; 
  

 39 

 (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder; and 

(h) if any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to a Lien in favor of the Holders, the Trustee, if and to the extent
authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such Lien, shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax
Liens or other prior Liens or encumbrances thereon. 
 Section 7.03 Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Indenture or in
Debt Securities. The recitals contained herein, in the Debt Securities (except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Issuers, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of
the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities of any series, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture,
authenticate the Debt Securities and perform its obligations hereunder, and that the statements made by it or to be made by it in a Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 supplied to the Issuers are true and accurate. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuers of any of the Debt Securities or of the proceeds thereof. 

Section 7.04 Trustee, Paying Agent or Registrar May Own Debt Securities. The Trustee or any paying agent or Registrar, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities and subject to the provisions of the TIA relating to conflicts of interest and preferential claims may otherwise deal with the Issuers with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Registrar. 
 Section 7.05 Moneys Received by Trustee to Be Held in
Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys
shall be paid from time to time to the Issuers upon an Issuer Order. 
 Section 7.06 Compensation and Reimbursement.
The Issuers covenant and agree to pay in Dollars to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard
to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Issuers will pay or reimburse in Dollars the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or
made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents, attorneys and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ), including
without limitation, Section 6.02, except any such expense, disbursement or advances as may arise from its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Issuers also covenant to indemnify in Dollars the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless

  

 40 

 
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust or trusts hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations
of the Issuers under this Section 7.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional Debt hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture. The Issuers and the Holders agree that such additional Debt shall be secured by a Lien prior to that of the Debt Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee, as such, except funds held in
trust for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, particular Debt Securities. 
 When the Trustee
incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(e) or 6.01(f) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law. 
 Section 7.07 Right of Trustee to Rely on an Officers’ Certificate Where No
Other Evidence Specifically Prescribed. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established
prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved
and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the
provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. 
 Section 7.08 Separate Trustee; Replacement of Trustee. The
Issuers may, but need not, appoint a separate Trustee for any one or more series of Debt Securities. The Trustee may resign with respect to one or more or all series of Debt Securities at any time by giving notice to the Issuers. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series may remove the Trustee for such series and only such series by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuers shall remove the Trustee if:

  

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

  

	 	(b)	the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

  

	 	(c)	a Custodian 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 Issuers or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a
particular series 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 Issuers

  

 41 

 
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Section 7.08. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver
a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of Debt Securities of each applicable series. 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 7.06. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days
after the retiring Trustee gives notice of resignation or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of any applicable series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series. 
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any
Holder of Debt Securities of any applicable series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series. 

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.06
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 In the case of the appointment hereunder of a separate or successor
trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series, the Issuers, any retiring Trustee and each successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an Indenture
supplemental hereto (i) which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series as to
which any such retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in such retiring Trustee and (ii) that shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental Indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such separate, retiring or
successor Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such 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 or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

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 Debt Securities 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 Debt Securities so

  

 42 

 
authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt Securities 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 Debt Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee
shall have. 
 Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements
of Section 310(a) of the TIA. 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. No obligor upon the Debt Securities of a particular series or
Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such obligor shall serve as Trustee upon the Debt Securities of such series. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that
there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA this Indenture or any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuers are
outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA are met. 
 Section 7.11
Preferential Collection of Claims Against Partnership. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the TIA, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the TIA. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed
shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the TIA to the extent indicated therein. 
 Section 7.12 Compliance with Tax
Laws. The Trustee hereby agrees to comply with all U.S. Federal income tax information reporting and withholding requirements applicable to it with respect to payments of premium (if any) and interest on the Debt Securities, whether acting as
Trustee, Registrar, paying agent or otherwise with respect to the Debt Securities. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS 

Section 8.01 Evidence of Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any or all series may take action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact
that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in
writing, by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02 or by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a
meeting of Holders. 
 Section 8.02 Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Debt Securities. Subject to
the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 13.09, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or
in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The ownership of Debt Securities of any series shall be proved by 
  

 43 

 
the Debt Security Register or by a certificate of the Registrar for such series. The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem
necessary. 
 Section 8.03 Who May Be Deemed Owner of Debt Securities. Prior to due presentment for registration of
transfer of any Debt Security, the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Debt Security shall be registered upon the books of the Issuers as the absolute
owner of such Debt Security (whether or not such Debt Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and premium, if any,
and (subject to Section 2.12) interest on such Debt Security and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuers nor the Subsidiary Guarantors nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary; and all such payments so made to any such Holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Debt
Security. 
 None of the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, any agent of the Trustee, any paying agent or any
Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to
such beneficial ownership interests. 
 Section 8.04 Instruments Executed by Holders Bind Future Holders. At any
time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series specified in this
Indenture in connection with such action and subject to the following paragraph, any Holder of a Debt Security which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debt Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing
written notice with the Trustee at its corporate trust office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Debt
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Debt Security and of any Debt Security issued upon transfer thereof or in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any
notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debt Security or such other Debt Securities. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series specified in this Indenture in connection
with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Debt Securities of such series. 

The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Debt Securities entitled
to give their consent or take any other action 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 Holders of Debt Securities at
such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders of Debt
Securities after such record 
  

 44 

 
date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of such series specified in this Indenture shall have been received within such 120-day period. 
 ARTICLE IX 

 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 

Section 9.01 Purposes for Which Supplemental Indenture May Be Entered into Without Consent of Holders. The Issuers and the
Subsidiary Guarantors, when authorized by resolutions of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time, without the consent of Holders, enter into an Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to
the provisions of the TIA as in force at the date of the execution thereof) for one or more of the following purposes: 
 (a) to
evidence the succession pursuant to Article X of another Person to the Issuers, or successive successions, and the assumption by the Successor Company (as defined in Section 10.01) of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuers in
this Indenture and in the Debt Securities; 
 (b) to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuers or the
Subsidiary Guarantors, to add to the covenants of the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the Holders of all or any series of Debt Securities (and if such
covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Debt Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) as the Board of Directors shall consider to be for the protection of the
Holders of such Debt Securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a Default in any of such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions a Default or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of
all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture; provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental Indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after Default
(which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other Defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such Default or may limit the right of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of any or all series of Debt Securities to waive such default; 
 (c) to
cure any ambiguity or omission or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein, in any supplemental Indenture or in any Debt Securities of any series that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein, in any
supplemental Indenture or in the Debt Securities of such series; to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Trustee, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as
shall not adversely affect the interests of any Holders of Debt Securities of any series; 
 (d) to modify or amend this
Indenture in such a manner as to permit the qualification of this Indenture or any Indenture supplemental hereto under the TIA as then in effect, except that nothing herein contained shall permit or authorize the inclusion in any Indenture
supplemental hereto of the provisions referred to in Section 316(a)(2) of the TIA; 
  

 45 

 (e) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to change or eliminate any
restrictions on the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, on, Debt Securities; provided, that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series in any material respect or permit or
facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities of any series in uncertificated form; 
 (f) to comply with Article XIV; 

(g) to add Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to any or all of the Debt Securities or to secure any or all of the Debt Securities;

 (h) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; 

(i) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Debt Securities; provided,
however, that any such addition, change or elimination not otherwise permitted under this Section 9.01 shall neither apply to any Debt Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental Indenture and entitled to the
benefit of such provision nor modify the rights of the Holder of any such Debt Security with respect to such provision or shall become effective only when there is no such Debt Security Outstanding; 

(j) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; and 

(k) to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03. 

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any such supplemental
Indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter
into any such supplemental Indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

Any supplemental Indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 9.01 may be executed by the Issuers, the Subsidiary
Guarantors and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Debt Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02. 

Section 9.02 Modification of Indenture with Consent of Holders of Debt Securities. Without notice to any Holder but with the
consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such supplemental Indenture (including consents obtained in

  

 46 

 
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for any such series of Debt Securities), the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors, when authorized by resolutions of the Board of Directors, and
the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the TIA as in force at the date of execution thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series; provided, that no such supplemental
Indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Debt Security so affected, shall: reduce the percentage in principal amount of Debt Securities of any series whose Holders must consent to an amendment; reduce the rate of or extend the time for
payment of interest on any Debt Security; reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Debt Security; reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Debt Security or change the time at which any Debt Security may or shall be
redeemed in accordance with Article III; make any Debt Security payable in currency other than the Dollar; impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of premium, if any, principal of and interest on such Holder’s Debt Securities on or
after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Debt Securities; release any security that may have been granted in respect of the Debt Securities; make any change in
Section 6.06 or this Section 9.02; or, except as provided in Section 14.04, release the Subsidiary Guarantors or modify the Guarantee in any manner adverse to the Holders. 

A supplemental Indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has been expressly included
solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under
this Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities of any other series. 
 Upon the request of the Issuers and the Subsidiary
Guarantors, accompanied by a copy of resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join
with the Issuers in the execution of such supplemental Indenture unless such supplemental Indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but
shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental Indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders
under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental Indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 

After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to Holders of Debt Securities of each series
affected thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all such Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.02. 

Section 9.03 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions
of this Article IX, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, 
  

 47 

 
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Holders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and
enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental Indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all
purposes. 
 The Trustee may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such supplemental Indenture complies
with the provisions of this Article IX. 
 Section 9.04 Debt Securities May Bear Notation of Changes by Supplemental
Indentures. Debt Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by
the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental Indenture. New Debt Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any
such supplemental Indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuers, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Debt
Security of such series shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 
 ARTICLE X 

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE 

Section 10.01 Consolidations and Mergers of the Issuers. Neither of the Issuers shall consolidate or amalgamate with or merge
with or into any Person, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all their assets to any Person, whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, except (1) in accordance with the
provisions of its partnership agreement, and (2) unless: (a) either (i) such Issuer shall be the continuing Person in the case of a merger or (ii) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person if other than the such Issuer (the
“Successor Company”), shall be a partnership, limited liability company or corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, provided that Finance Co may not consolidate
or merge with or into any entity other than a corporation satisfying such requirement for so long as the Partnership is not a corporation, and the Successor Company shall expressly assume, by an Indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered
to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Issuer under this Indenture and the Debt Securities according to their tenor; (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Debt which
becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary of the Successor Company as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of
Default would occur or be continuing; (c) if the such Issuer is not the continuing Person, then each Subsidiary Guarantor, unless it has become the Successor Company, shall confirm that its Guarantee shall continue to apply to the obligations
under the Debt Securities and this Indenture; and (d) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or disposition and such
supplemental Indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture. 
  

 48 

 Section 10.02 Rights and Duties of Successor Company. In case of any
consolidation, amalgamation or merger in respect of an Issuer where such Issuer is not the continuing Person, or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Issuer in accordance with Section 10.01, the Successor Company shall
succeed to and be substituted for such Issuer with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the respective party to this Indenture, and the predecessor entity shall be released from all liabilities and obligations under this Indenture and
the Debt Securities, except that no such release will occur in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of its assets. The Successor Company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of such Issuer,
any or all the Debt Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by such Issuer and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of the Successor Company, instead of such Issuer, and subject to all the terms,
conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Debt Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership
or of Finance Co, as applicable, to the Trustee for authentication, and any Debt Securities which the Successor Company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Debt Securities so issued shall in all
respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Debt Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all such Debt Securities had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof. 
 In case of any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or disposition such changes in phraseology and form
(but not in substance) may be made in the Debt Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 
 ARTICLE XI 

 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF 

INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE; UNCLAIMED MONEYS 

Section 11.01 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article XI relating to defeasance of Debt Securities shall be
applicable to each series of Debt Securities except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Debt Securities of such series. 

Section 11.02 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance. 

(a) If at any time the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Debt Securities of any series theretofore
authenticated and delivered (other than any Debt Securities of such series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 and Debt Securities for whose payment money has
theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers as provided in Section 11.05) or all Debt Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by
their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee as trust
funds the entire amount in cash sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Debt Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and premium, if any, and interest due or to become due
on such

date of Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, and if in either case the Issuers shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuers, then this
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities herein expressly provided for) with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, and the Trustee, on
demand of the Issuers accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture. 

(b) Subject to Sections 11.02(c), 11.03 and 11.07, the Issuers at any time may terminate, with respect to Debt Securities of a particular
series, all its obligations under the Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of such series (“legal defeasance option”) or the operation of (x) any covenant made applicable to such Debt
Securities pursuant to Section 2.03, (y) Sections 6.01(d), 6.01(g) and 6.01(h), as they relate to the Subsidiary Guarantors only, Sections 6.01(e) and 6.01(f) (“covenant defeasance option”). If the Issuers exercise their legal
defeasance option, the Guarantee will terminate with respect to that series of Debt Securities. The Issuers may exercise their legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. 

If the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated
because of an Event of Default. If the Issuers exercise their covenant defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(d), 6.01(g) and 6.01(h)
and, with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantors only, Sections 6.01(e) and 6.01(f) (except to the extent covenants or agreements referenced in such Sections remain applicable). 

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuers, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the
discharge of those obligations that the Issuers terminates. 
 (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the
Issuers’ obligations in Sections 2.07, 2.09, 4.02, 4.04, 5.01, 7.06, 11.05, 11.06 and 11.07 shall survive until the Debt Securities of the defeased series have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuers’ obligations in Sections 7.06, 11.05
and 11.06 shall survive. 
 Section 11.03 Conditions of Defeasance. The Issuers may exercise their legal defeasance
option or its covenant defeasance option with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series only if: 
 (a) the Issuers
irrevocably deposit in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt Securities of such series to Stated Maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

 (b) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants 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 will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be
sufficient to pay the principal, premium and interest when due on all the Debt Securities of such series to Stated Maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
  

 50 

 (c) 91 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 91-day period no Default specified
in Sections 6.01(e) or 6.01(f) with respect to the Issuers occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 
 (d) no
Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto; 
 (e) the deposit does not
constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Issuers; 
 (f) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; 

(g) in the event of the legal defeasance option, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
Issuers have received from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case of the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel
shall confirm that, the Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred; 
 (h) in the event of the
covenant defeasance option, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of
such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; and 

(i) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Debt Securities of such series as contemplated by this Article XI have been complied with. 

Before or after a deposit, the Issuers may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Debt Securities of such
series at a future date in accordance with Article III. 
 Section 11.04 Application of Trust Money. The Trustee
shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article XI. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through any paying agent and in accordance with this Indenture
to the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt Securities of the defeased series. 
  

 51 

 Section 11.05 Repayment to Partnership. The Trustee and any paying agent shall
promptly turn over to the Issuers upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time. 
 Subject to any
applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and any paying agent shall pay to the Issuers upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders
entitled to such money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors. 
 Section 11.06 Indemnity for U.S.
Government Obligations. The Issuers shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee and the Holders 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. 
 Section 11.07 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any paying agent is unable to
apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XI by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or government authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture and the Debt Securities of the defeased series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XI until such time as the Trustee or any paying
agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XI.

ARTICLE XIV 

GUARANTEE 

Section 14.01 Unconditional Guarantee. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article XIV to the contrary, the provisions of this Article XIV shall be applicable only to,
and inure solely to the benefit of, the Debt Securities of any series designated, pursuant to Section 2.03, as entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. 

(b) For value received, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby fully, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees (the
“Guarantee”) to the Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Debt Securities and all other amounts due and payable under this Indenture and the Debt Securities by
the Issuers, when and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the stated maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms of the Debt Securities
and this Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 14.03. 
 (c) Failing payment when due of any amount
guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee, for whatever reason, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. The Guarantee hereunder is intended to be a general, unsecured, senior obligation of
each of the Subsidiary Guarantors and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors
hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be full, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Debt Securities, the Guarantee (including the Guarantee of any other Subsidiary Guarantor) or
this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Debt Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers or any other Subsidiary
Guarantor, or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that in the event of a
default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Debt Securities, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on
behalf of the Holders or, subject to Section 6.04, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against such Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce the Guarantee without first proceeding against the Issuers or any
other Subsidiary Guarantor. 
  

 56 

 (d) The obligations of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Article XIV shall be as
aforesaid full, unconditional and absolute and shall not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (A) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension,
indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors contained in the Debt Securities or this Indenture, (B) any impairment, modification, release or
limitation of the liability of the Issuers, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or either of their estates in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any applicable
Bankruptcy Law, as amended, or other statute or from the decision of any court, (C) the assertion or exercise by the Issuers, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Trustee of any rights or remedies under the Debt Securities or this Indenture
or their delay in or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or remedies, (D) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for the Debt Securities, including all or any part of the rights of the Issuers or any of
the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture, (E) the extension of the time for payment by the Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of the terms and
provisions of the Debt Securities or this Indenture or of the time for performance by the Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal of
any thereof, (F) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors set forth in this Indenture, (G) the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement,
composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of the Debt Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture in any such
proceeding, (H) the release or discharge of the Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (I) the
unenforceability of the Debt Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture or (J) any other circumstances (other than payment in full or discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee) which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. 
 (e) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby (A) waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of the merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and all demands whatsoever, (B) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument
or document evidencing the Guarantee may be transferred and that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee without notice to it and (C) covenants that
the Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Guarantee. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to the Guarantee is, or must
be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Guarantee shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be
rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and the Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made. 

 

 57 

 (f) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders and
the Trustee against the Issuers in respect of any amounts paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, provided, however, that such Subsidiary Guarantor, shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments
arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all of the Debt Securities and the Guarantee shall have been paid in full or discharged. 

Section 14.02 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 14.01, each of
the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that a notation relating to such Guarantee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A, shall be endorsed on each Debt Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee and executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor, or in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a limited partnership, an officer of the general partner of each Subsidiary Guarantor.
Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that the Guarantee set forth in Section 14.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Debt Security a notation relating to the Guarantee. If any
officer of the Subsidiary Guarantor, or in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a limited partnership, any officer of the general partner of the Subsidiary Guarantor, whose signature is on this Indenture or a Debt Security no longer holds that
office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Debt Security or at any time thereafter, the Guarantee of such Debt Security shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Debt Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder,
shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors. 
 The
Trustee hereby accepts the trusts in this Indenture upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. 
 Section 14.03
Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantors’ Liability. Each Subsidiary Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder of a Debt Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties
that the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders of a Debt Security entitled to
the benefits of the Guarantee and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent
and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the
obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Federal or state law. 
  

 58 

 Section 14.04 Release of Subsidiary Guarantors from Guarantee. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor may be released upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 14.04. Provided that no Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Indenture, any Guarantee incurred by a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Article XIV shall be
unconditionally released and discharged (i) automatically upon (A) any sale, exchange or transfer, whether by way of merger or otherwise, to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuers, of all of the Issuers’ direct or indirect
limited partnership or other equity interests in such Subsidiary Guarantor (provided such sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture) or (B) the merger of such Subsidiary Guarantor into the Issuers or any other Subsidiary
Guarantor or the liquidation and dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case to the extent not prohibited by this Indenture) or (ii) following delivery of a written notice of such release or discharge by the Issuers to the Trustee,
upon the release or discharge of all guarantees by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Debt of the Issuers other than obligations arising under this Indenture and any Debt Securities issued hereunder, except a discharge or release by or as a result of
payment under such guarantees. 
 (b) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any release of a Subsidiary
Guarantor from the Guarantee upon receipt of a written request of the Issuers accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel the Subsidiary Guarantor is entitled to such release in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture. Any Subsidiary Guarantor not so released remains liable for the full amount of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Debt Securities entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee as provided in this Indenture, subject to
the limitations of Section 14.03. 
 Section 14.05 Subsidiary Guarantor Contribution. In order to provide for
just and equitable contribution among the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its
Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor (if any) in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages
and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Issuers’ obligations with respect to the Debt Securities or any other Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations with respect to its Guarantee.

hereby expressly made, a part of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound
thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

(b) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.01(b) shall only apply to Global Notes deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for
the Depositary. Participants and Indirect Participants shall have no rights under this First Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as the custodian for the Depositary or under
such Global Note, and the Depositary shall 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 Participants or
Indirect Participants, the Applicable Procedures or the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. 

(c) Certificated Notes. Except as otherwise provided herein, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled
to receive physical delivery of certificated Notes. 
 For greater certainty, the provisions of this Section 2.01(c) are
subject to the requirements relating to notations, legends or endorsements on Notes required by law, stock exchange rule, or agreements to which any Issuers are subject, if any. 

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. 

(a) One Officer shall sign the Notes for each Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. 

(b) 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. 
 (c) A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this First Supplemental Indenture. 
  

 -22- 

 (d) The Trustee shall, upon a written order of each Issuer signed by one Officer (an
“Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue. 
 (e) The Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this First Supplemental Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuers or any of their respective Subsidiaries. 

Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. 

(a) The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuers may appoint one or
more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or
Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this First Supplemental Indenture. If the Issuers fail to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or
Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

(b) The Issuers initially appoint The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global
Notes. 
 (c) The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with
respect to the Global Notes, and the Trustee hereby initially agrees so to act. 
 Section 2.04. 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 either Issuers or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the
Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuers, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

Section 2.05. Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as
the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date or such shorter time as the Trustee may allow, as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders, and the Issuers shall otherwise comply with
TIA Section 312(a). 
 Holders may communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their
rights under this First Supplemental Indenture or under the Notes. The Issuers, the Trustee, the Registrar and any other Person shall have the protection of TIA Section 312(c). 

 

 -23- 

 Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes. When Certificated Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request:

 (A) to register the transfer of such Certificated Notes; or 

(B) to exchange such Certificated Notes for an equal principal amount of Certificated Notes of other authorized
denominations, 
 the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such
transaction are met; provided, however, that the Certificated Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuers and the
Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; 
 (b) Restrictions on Transfer of
a Certificated Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. Subject to certain conditions, the Notes represented by the global securities will be exchangeable for certificated Notes in definitive form of like tenor as such Notes if
(1) the Depositary notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Note and a successor is not promptly appointed or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act or (2) the Issuers in their discretion at any time determines not to have all of the Notes represented by the global securities. 

Any Notes that are exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence will be exchanged for certificated Notes issuable in authorized
denominations and registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. 
 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.
Subject to Section 2.06(e), the Global Note is not exchangeable, except for the Global Note of the same aggregate denominations to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or
beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this First Supplemental Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

 (d) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this First
Supplemental Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in subsection (e) of this Section 2.06), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary
to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

(e) Authentication in Absence of Depositary. If at any time: 

(A) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as
Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuers within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; 

(B) the Issuers in their sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged
for Certificated Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or 
 (C) there has occurred
and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes and beneficial owners holding interests representing an aggregate principal amount of at least 51% of such Notes represented by Global Notes advise the Trustee in writing that
the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depositary is no longer in such owner’s best interests. 
 then the Issuers will
execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate requesting the authentication and delivery of Certificated Notes to the Persons designated by the Issuers, will authenticate and deliver Certificated Notes, in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of Global Notes, in exchange for such Global Notes. 
  

 -24- 

 (f) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial
interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned to the Depositary for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such
cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the
books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, to reflect such reduction. 

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

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
Certificated Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s request. 
 (ii) No service charge shall be made for
any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

(iii) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of (a) any Note selected for
redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article 3, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (b) any Note for a period beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem
Notes or 15 Business Days before an Interest Payment Date (whether or not an Interest Payment Date or other date determined for the payment of interest), and ending on such mailing date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be. 

(iv) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent or the 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 Issuers, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(v) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture shall
evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this First Supplemental Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

(h) 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 the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary 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 the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, 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 under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial
owners in any Global Note in global form shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the
Depositary 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 First Supplemental Indenture or under 

 

 -25- 

 
applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including, without limitation, any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners 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 First Supplemental Indenture, and to examine the
same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 Section 2.07. Replacement Notes.

 If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuers and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements 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 may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Note had become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuers, in their discretion, may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph. 

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this First Supplemental
Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.07
are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies of any Holder with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note. 

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. 

(a) 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 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 3.09, a
Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers hold the Note; however, Notes held by the Issuers or a Subsidiary of the Issuers shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 2.08(b).

 (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof
satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 (c) If the principal amount of any Note is
considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 (d) If the Paying
Agent (other than the Issuers, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this First Supplemental Indenture, on a date of redemption (a “Redemption Date”) or maturity date, money
sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on that date with respect to the 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 2.09. Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement,
waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuers, or by any Affiliate of the Issuers, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction,
amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
  

 -26- 

 Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. 

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication
Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuers considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Certificated Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 

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

Section 2.11. Cancellation. 

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

 Section 2.12. CUSIP or ISIN Numbers. 

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

Section 2.13. Additional Notes. 

The Issuers shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09, to issue Additional Notes under this First Supplemental
Indenture in an unlimited aggregate principal amount which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price and first payment of interest. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes
shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this First Supplemental Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. 

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuers shall set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each which shall be
delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 
 (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional
Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this First Supplemental Indenture; and 
 (b) the issue
price, the issue date and the CUSIP number(s) of such Additional Notes. 
 ARTICLE 3  

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee. 

If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, they shall furnish to
the Trustee, at least ten Business Days (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee) 
  

 -27- 

 
before the date of giving notice of the redemption pursuant to Section 3.03, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the
redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (iv) the redemption price and (v) whether they request the Trustee to give notice of such redemption. Any such notice may be
cancelled at any time prior to the mailing of notice of such redemption to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. 

Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption as follows: 

(a) if the Notes are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the
principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are so listed; or 
 (b) if the Notes are not so listed
or there are no such requirements, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. 

No Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more
than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. 

If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that 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. Notes called for redemption become due on the
date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption unless the Issuers default in making such redemption payment. 

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. 

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuers shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a
notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. 
 The notice shall identify the
Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers) and shall state: 
 (a) the redemption date; 

(b) the redemption price; 

(c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after
the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; 

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

(e) that Notes called for redemption (other than a Global Note) must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the
redemption price; 
 (f) that, unless the Issuers default in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes
called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (g) the paragraph of the Notes and/or
Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 
  

 -28- 

 (h) 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. 
 If any of the Notes to be redeemed is in the form of a
Global Note, then the Issuers shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the procedures of the Depositary applicable to redemption. 

At the Issuers’ request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ names and at their expense; provided,
however, that the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee, as provided in Section 3.01, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in
the preceding paragraph. 
 Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and
payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. 
 Section 3.05. Deposit of
Redemption Price. 
 Not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuers shall deposit with
the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary thereof is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04 hereof) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and
unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the
redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. 
 If the Issuers comply with the provisions
of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related
Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption 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, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such
unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 
 Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in
Part. 
 Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuers shall issue and, upon the Issuers’ written
request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note (accompanied by a notation of the Guarantees duly endorsed by the Subsidiary Guarantors) equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note
surrendered.

 (b) On or before April 15, 2014, the Issuers may redeem all or, from time to time, a
part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to: 

(i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the

Section 3.09. Offer to Purchase by Application of Net Proceeds. 

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof, the Issuers shall be required to commence a pro rata offer (an “Asset
Sale Offer”) to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the Net Proceeds of
sales of assets to purchase Notes and such other pair passu Indebtedness, it shall follow the procedures specified below. 
 The
Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 30 days following its commencement but no longer than 60 days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). Promptly after
the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuers shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than
the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered and not withdrawn in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

Holders. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the
Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuers, a
depositary, if appointed by the Issuers, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 

(f) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuers, the depositary or the Paying Agent, as the

Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 
 (g) that, if the aggregate principal amount of
Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuers shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuers so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or
integral multiples of $1,000 above such amount thereof, shall be purchased); and

be, shall promptly 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, and the Issuers shall promptly issue a new Note (in each case,
accompanied by a notation of the Guarantees duly endorsed by the Subsidiary Guarantors), and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuers shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any
unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuers to the Holder thereof. The Issuers shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable

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 4.06. Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part (equal
to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 above such amount thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuers shall offer a
change of control payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change
of Control Payment Date”), subject to the rights of any Holder in whose name a Note is registered on a record date occurring prior to the Change of Control Payment Date to receive interest on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to
such Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on

such conflict.

although Holders are not required to tender their Notes, all Notes that are validly tendered shall be accepted for payment; 

(ii) the Change of Control Payment and the Change of Control Payment Date, which will be no earlier than 30 days and no

the Change of Control Offer (and duly paid for on the Change of Control Payment Date) shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; 
  

 -33- 

 (iv) that any Notes (or portions thereof) not validly tendered shall
continue to accrue interest; 
 (v) that any Holder electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Change of
Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuers, a depositary, if appointed by the
Issuers, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least one (1) Business Day before the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(vi) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuers, the depositary or the Paying Agent, as the

that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; and 
 (vii) the instructions and any
other information necessary to enable Holders to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) and have such Notes (or portions thereof) purchased pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control
Offer;

Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and 
 (iii) deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Issuers. 

(d) The depositary or the Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such
Notes (or, if all the Notes are then in global form, make such payment through the facilities of DTC), and the Issuers shall promptly issue a new Note (in each case, accompanied by a notation of the Guarantees duly endorsed by the Subsidiary
Guarantors), and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuers, shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder such new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes
surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 above such amount thereof. The Issuers shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon
as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (e) The provisions described in this Section 4.06 that require
the Issuers to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control shall be applicable regardless of whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. 

(f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 4.06, the Issuers will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer
upon a Change of Control and a holder will not have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase any Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer if (i) a third party makes an offer to purchase the Notes in the manner, at the times and
otherwise in substantial compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such purchase offer or (ii) an irrevocable notice of
redemption to purchase all outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to at least 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.07, unless and until the Issuers have defaulted in the payment of the

 (g) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned
upon the occurrence of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the 

 

 -34- 

 
time of making the Change of Control Offer. Notes repurchased by the Issuers pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will have the status of Notes issued but not outstanding or will be retired and
cancelled, at either of the Issuers’ option. Notes purchased by a third party pursuant to the preceding paragraph will have the status of Notes issued and outstanding. 

(h) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 4.06, the Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer
upon a Change of Control, as provided in this Section 4.06, if, in connection with or in contemplation of a Change of Control, they have made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered and
not withdrawn at a cash price equal to or greater than the Change of Control Payment and have purchased all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer. 

(i) If holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes
in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the Company will have the
right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase
at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. 

Section 4.07. Asset Sales. 

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

(i) except in the case of a disposition of Investments in Joint Ventures to the extent required by or made pursuant to
customary buy/sell arrangements between the Joint Venture parties set forth in Joint Venture agreements or similar binding arrangements, the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset
Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; 

(ii) such fair market value is determined in good faith by (a) an Officer of the General Partner if the value is less
than $50.0 million, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee or (b) the Board of Directors of the General Partner if the value is $50.0 million or more, as evidenced by a Board Resolution of the General Partner;
and 
 (iii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or a combination thereof. For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: 

(A) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation
agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; 
 (B) any securities,
Notes or other Obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are within 180 days after the Asset Sale converted by such Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash
received in that conversion); and 
 (C) accounts receivable of a business retained by the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, following the sale of such business, provided, that such accounts receivable are not (a) past due more than 90 days and (b) do not have a payment date greater than 120 days from the date of the
invoice creating such accounts receivable. 
  

 -35- 

 (b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale (or within 90
days after such 360-day period in the event the Company enters into a binding commitment with respect to such application), the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds at its option: 

(i) to repay senior Indebtedness of the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries under the Credit Facilities; and/or

 (ii) to satisfy all mandatory repayment obligations under the Credit Facilities arising by reason of such
Asset Sale; 
 (iii) to make a capital expenditure in a Permitted Business; 

(iv) to acquire other tangible assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or 

(v) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of a Person engaged in a Permitted Business or Equity Interests of a
Person engaged in a Permitted Business so long as such Person or the Person to which such assets are transferred is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary. 

Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net
Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied
or invested as provided in Section 4.07(b) above will constitute “Excess Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Issuers will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and, at
the option of the Issuers, all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds;
provided that Notes tendered shall be given priority over any such other Indebtedness unless such other Indebtedness contains provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the
proceeds of sales of assets in which case the Notes and such other Indebtedness will be purchased on a pro rata basis. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
Purchase Date, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, including, without limitation,
the repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness of the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is subordinated to the Notes or, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor. If the aggregate principal amount of
Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds allocated for repurchases of Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer for Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of
each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (d) The Company shall comply with the
requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the
extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with Section 3.09 or this Section 4.07, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under Section 3.09 or this Section 4.07 by virtue of such conflict. 
 Section 4.08. Restricted Payments.

 (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: 

(i) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or of any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries, Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the
Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ 
  

 -36- 

 
Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than distributions or dividends payable in Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Equity) and other than distributions or
dividends payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary); 
 (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or
retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the Company, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the General Partner or any other equity holder of the
Company (other than any such Equity Interests owned by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries); 

(iii) make any principal payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for
value any Subordinated Indebtedness or Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness, except a scheduled payment of principal within one month of its Stated Maturity; or 

(iv) make any Investment other than a Permitted Investment 

(all such payments and other actions set forth in Sections 4.08(a)(i),(ii),(iii) and (iv) above being collectively referred to as
“Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, no Default (except a Reporting Failure) or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence
thereof and either: 
 (A) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s four most recent fiscal
quarters for which internal financial statements are available is equal to or greater than 1.75 to 1.0, such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
during the quarter in which such Restricted Payment is made (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by Sections 4.08(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) (to the extent paid to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix)), is
less than the sum, without duplication, of: 
 (i) Available Cash from Operating Surplus with respect to the
Company’s preceding fiscal quarter, plus 
 (ii) the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the
Company (including the fair market value of any Permitted Business or long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business to the extent acquired in consideration of Equity Interests (other than the Disqualified Equity) of the Company)
after the Issue Date from (x) a contribution to the common equity capital of the Company from any Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) or (y) the issuance and sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company) of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity) of the Company or from the issuance or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Equity or convertible or exchangeable debt
securities of the Company that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity), plus 

(iii) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the Issue Date is sold for cash or Cash
Equivalents or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash or Cash Equivalents, the return of capital or similar payment made in cash or Cash Equivalents with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of such disposition, if any), plus

 (iv) the net reduction in Restricted Investments resulting from dividends, repayments of loans or advances,
or other transfers of assets in each case to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from any Person (including, without limitation, Unrestricted Subsidiaries and joint ventures) or from redesignations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries as
Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent such amounts have not been 
  

 -37- 

 
included in Available Cash from Operating Surplus for any period commencing on or after the Issue Date (items (ii), (iii) and (iv) being referred to as “Incremental
Funds”), minus 
 (v) the aggregate amount of Incremental Funds previously expended pursuant to
this clause (A) or clause (B) below or to make a Permitted Business Investment; or 
 (B) if the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s four most recent fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available is less than 1.75 to 1.0, such Restricted Payment (it being understood that the only Restricted Payments permitted to
be made pursuant to this clause (B) are distributions on common units of the Company, plus the related distribution on the general partner interest and any distributions with respect to incentive distribution rights), together with the
aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the quarter in which such Restricted Payment is made (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by Sections 4.08(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) (to
the extent paid to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix)) is less than the sum, without duplication, of: 

(i) $120.0 million less the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (2)(a) during the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Company immediately preceding the date of such Restricted Payment, plus 

(ii) Incremental Funds to the extent not previously expended pursuant to this clause (B) or clause (A) above.

 (b) The preceding provisions will not prohibit: 

(i) the payment by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any distribution or dividend or the consummation of any
redemption of a Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to an irrevocable notice of redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution, or the giving of such irrevocable notice of redemption, if at said date of
declaration or the date of such notice of redemption, as applicable, such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(ii) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of subordinated Indebtedness of the Company
or any Subsidiary Guarantor or of any Equity Interests of the Company in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of, a substantially concurrent (a) capital contribution to the Company from any Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company) or (b) sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity) of the Company, with a sale being substantially concurrent if such redemption, repurchase, retirement,
defeasance or other acquisition occurs not more than 120 days after such sale; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition will be
excluded or deducted from the calculation of Available Cash from Operating Surplus and Incremental Funds and from Section 4.08(a)(A)(ii); 

(iii) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of any Subordinated Indebtedness or Guarantor
Subordinated Indebtedness with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of, or in exchange for, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; 

(iv) the payment of any distribution or dividend by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to the holders of its Equity

other securities convertible or exchangeable for Equity Interests that are not derivative securities; 
 (viii)

(ix) in connection with an acquisition by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, the return to the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Equity Interests of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries constituting a portion of the purchase consideration in settlement of indemnification claims. 

In computing the amount of Restricted Payments previously made for purposes of Section 4.08(a), Restricted Payments made under
clauses (i) (but only if the declaration of such dividend or other distribution has not been counted in a prior period) and (iv) (but in the case of clause (iv), only to the extent paid to a Person other than the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary) of this Section 4.08(b) shall be included, and Restricted Payments made under clauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) of this Section 4.08(b) shall not be included. The amount of all Restricted Payments
(other than cash) shall be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted
Payment. The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 4.08 shall be determined, in the case of amounts under $50.0 million, by an Officer of the General Partner and, in the case of amounts
over $50.0 million, by the Board of Directors of the General Partner whose Board Resolution with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee. 

Section 4.09. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Equity. 

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue,
assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company shall not issue any Disqualified
Equity and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Disqualified Equity; provided that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company and the Restricted
Subsidiaries may issue Disqualified Equity, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such
additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Equity is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had
been incurred, or the Disqualified Equity had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period. 

(b) So long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would be caused thereby, Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit
the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 

(i) the incurrence by the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness (including letters of credit) under Credit
Facilities and the guarantees thereof; provided that the aggregate principal 
  

 -39- 

 
amount of all Indebtedness of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09(b)(i) and outstanding under all Credit Facilities after giving effect to
such incurrence does not exceed the greater of (a) $800.0 million or (b) $600.0 million plus 20% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company;

or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace,
defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09(b)(iv) not to exceed the greater of (a) $20.0 million at any time outstanding or (b) 2.5% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company;

 (v) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness
in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge, Indebtedness that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(a) or 4.09(b)(ii) or (iii) or this
Section 4.09(b)(v); 
 (vi) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that: 

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

(B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a
Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, shall be deemed, in each case, to
constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this Section 4.09(b)(vi); 

(vii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations; 

(viii) the guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is being guaranteed is Subordinated Indebtedness or Guarantor Subordinated
Indebtedness, then the guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantee, as the case may be; 

(ix) the incurrence by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of additional Indebtedness or the issuance of Disqualified
Equity in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the greater of (a) $30.0 million at any time outstanding or (b) 3.0% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company; and 

 

 -40- 

 (x) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness arising from Guarantees of Indebtedness of Joint Ventures at any time outstanding not to exceed the greater of $10.0 million or 1.0% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company. 

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the
criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in Sections 4.09(b)(i) through (x), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Company will be permitted to classify (or later reclassify in whole or in
part) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. An item of Indebtedness may be divided and classified in one or more of the types of Permitted Indebtedness. Any outstanding Indebtedness under the Credit
Facilities on the Issue Date shall be considered incurred under Section 4.09(b)(i) and may not be reclassified. 
 (d)
The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Equity in the
form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Equity shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Equity for purposes of this Section 4.09; provided, in each such case, that the
amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness or Disqualified Equity that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of the fluctuations in
exchange rates or currency values. 
 Section 4.10. Liens. 

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness upon any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens, without making effective provision whereby all Obligations due under the Notes and Indenture or any Guarantee, as
applicable, will be secured by a Lien equally and ratably with (or prior to in the case of Liens with respect to Subordinated Indebtedness or Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness, as the case may be) any and all Obligations thereby secured for so
long as any such Obligations shall be so secured. 
 Section 4.11. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

 (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or
permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 

(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Equity Interests to the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, or pay any Indebtedness or other Obligations owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the priority that any series of preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary has in receiving dividends or
liquidating distributions before dividends or liquidating distributions are paid in respect of common stock of such Restricted Subsidiary shall not constitute a restriction on the ability to make dividends or distributions on Equity Interests for
purposes of this Section 4.11; 
 (ii) make loans or advances to or make other Investments in the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or 
 (iii) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (b) The restrictions contained in Section 4.11(a) shall not apply to
encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 
 (i) agreements as in effect on the Issue Date
(including the Credit Agreement) and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of any such agreements; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such distribution, dividend and other payment restrictions and loan or investment restrictions than those contained
in such agreement, as in effect on the Issue Date; 
  

 -41- 

 (ii) this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees; 

(iii) applicable law, rule, regulation, order, licenses, permits or similar governmental, judicial or regulatory
restriction; 
 (iv) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Equity Interests of a Person acquired by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction 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, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this
Indenture to be incurred; 
 (v) customary non-assignment provisions in Hydrocarbon or timber purchase and sale
or exchange agreements or similar operational agreements or in licenses and leases entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices; 

(vi) Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case for property acquired in
the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in Section 4.11(a)(iii); 

(vii) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that
Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; 
 (viii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;
provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

 (ix) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to the provisions of
Section 4.10 that limit the right of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to dispose of the assets subject to such Lien; 

(x) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset
sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements customary for transactions of that type that solely affect the assets or property that are the subject of such agreements; provided that, in the case of joint venture
agreements, such provisions solely affect assets or property of the joint venture; 
 (xi) any agreement or
instrument relating to any property or assets acquired after the Issue Date, so long as such encumbrance or restriction relates only to the property or assets so acquired and is not and was not created in anticipation of such acquisition;

 (xii) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or lessors under contracts or
leases entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (xiii) Hedging Obligations incurred from time to time;
and 
 (xiv) other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries permitted to be Incurred
pursuant to an agreement entered into subsequent to the Issue Date in accordance with Section 
  

 -42- 

 
4.09; provided that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in such Indebtedness are not materially less favorable to the Company taken as a whole, as
determined by the Board of Directors of the General Partner in good faith, than the provisions contained in the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date. 

Section 4.12. Transactions With Affiliates. 

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee, with any Affiliate (each, an
“Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 
 (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less
favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and 

(ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee: 

(A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
consideration more than $25.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.12 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of
the Board of Directors of the General Partner; and 
 (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of
related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $50.0 million, (i) a resolution of the Board of Directors of the General Partner set forth in an officers’ certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction
complies with this Section 4.12 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner and (ii) an opinion as to the fairness to the Company of such
Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing recognized as an expert in rendering fairness opinions on transactions such as those proposed. 

(b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of
Section 4.12(a): 
 (i) any employment, equity award, equity option or equity appreciation agreement or plan
or similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; 

(ii) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(iii) Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.08 and Permitted Investments; 

(iv) transactions effected in accordance with the terms of (i) agreements described in the Prospectus Supplement
under the caption “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” as such agreements are in effect on the date of this Indenture and (ii) any amendment or replacement of any of such agreements, so long as, in the case of
Section 4.12(b)(ii), such amendment, replacement or similar agreement, taken as a whole, is no less advantageous to the Company in any material respect than the applicable agreement referred to in Section 4.12(b)(i); 

(v) customary compensation, indemnification and other benefits made available to officers, directors or employees of the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, including reimbursement or advancement of out-of-pocket expenses and provisions of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance;

substantially similar to those contained in similar contracts entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with third parties, or if neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has entered into a similar contract with a third
party, on terms that are no less favorable than those available from third parties on an arm’s-length basis; 

(vii) the issuance or sale for cash of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity); 

(viii) any transaction in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, deliver to the
Trustee opinion from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or that such transaction meets the
requirements of Section 4.12(a)(i); 
 (ix) guarantees of performance by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries of the Company’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, except for guarantees of Indebtedness in respect of borrowed money; 

(x) if such Affiliate Transaction is with a Person in its capacity as a holder of Indebtedness or Equity Interests of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary where such Person is treated no more favorably than the holders of Indebtedness or Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary who are unaffiliated with the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries; 
 (xi) transactions effected pursuant to agreements in effect on the Issue Date and any amendment,
modification or replacement of such agreement (so long as such amendment or replacement is not in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the General Partner materially more disadvantageous to the holders of Notes, taken as a whole
than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date); 
 (xii) transactions between the Company and any
Person, a director of which is also a director of the Company; provided that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company on any matter involving such other Person; 

(xiii) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity) of the Company to Affiliates of the Company for
cash; 
 (xiv) transactions with a Joint Venture that comply with Section 4.12(a)(i); 

(xv) payments to the General Partner with respect to reimbursement of expenses in accordance with applicable provisions of

who are not affiliated with Penn Virginia Corporation; and 
 (xvii) loans or advances to employees in the
ordinary course of business not to exceed $2.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding. 
 Section 4.13. Additional
Subsidiary Guarantees. 
 If, after the Issue Date, any Restricted Subsidiary that is not already a Subsidiary Guarantor
guarantees any other Indebtedness of either of the Issuers or any Indebtedness of the Holding Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, then, in each such case, such Subsidiary must become a Subsidiary Guarantor by executing a

  

 -44- 

 
supplemental indenture substantially in the form provided in this Indenture and delivering it to the Trustee within 20 business days of the date on which such other guarantee was executed;
provided that the preceding shall not apply to Subsidiaries of the Company that have properly been designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Indenture for so long as they continue to constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding the preceding, any Guarantee of a Restricted Subsidiary that was incurred pursuant to this paragraph shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released upon the release or discharge of the
guarantee which resulted in the creation of such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee, except a discharge or release by, or as a result of payment under, such guarantee and except if, at such time, such Restricted Subsidiary is then a guarantor
under any other Indebtedness of the Issuers or another Subsidiary. 
 Section 4.14. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted
Subsidiaries. 
 (a) The Board of Directors of the General Partner may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default or Event of Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in
the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.08(a), or represent Permitted Investments as applicable. All
such outstanding Investments will be valued at their fair market value at the time of such designation. That designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments would be permitted under this Indenture at that time
and such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. All Subsidiaries of an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall also be Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Upon the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary
Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Guarantee of such entity shall be automatically released. 
 (b) The Board of
Directors of the General Partner may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at
the beginning of the four-quarter reference period, and Section 4.10 and (2) no Default or Event of Default (other than a Reporting Failure) would be in existence following such designation. 

After covenants are terminated pursuant to Section 4.20, the Company will not be permitted to designate or redesignate any of its
Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 4.14. 
 Section 4.15. Business Activities. 

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted
Businesses. 
 Finance Co shall not engage in any business or incur any Indebtedness other than activities in connection with
its rights and obligations as an issuer of the Notes and any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture. 
 Section 4.16.
[Intentionally Omitted]. 
 Section 4.17. Payments for Consent. 

The Company shall not, and shall 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 Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes 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. 
  

 -45- 

 Section 4.18. Reports. 

(a) Whether or not required by the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will file with the SEC (unless the SEC will not
accept such a filing) within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and, unless already publicly available through the SEC’s EDGAR filing system, the Company (x) will furnish (without exhibits) to the Trustee
for delivery to the Holders of the Notes and (y) post on its website or otherwise make available to prospective purchasers of the Notes: 

(i) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on
Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such forms, including a “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the
annual financial statements by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; and 
 (ii) all
current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports (provided that, so long as the Company is not required to file with the SEC the reports referred to in this
paragraph, the time period for filing reports on Form 8-K shall be 10 business days after the event giving rise to the obligation to file such report). 

(b) If, as of the end of any such quarterly or annual period, the Company has Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors, then the
Company shall include in such reports, in accordance with Section 3-10 of Regulation S-X, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, the financial information of the Company and its Subsidiary Guarantors
separate from the financial information of the non-Guarantor Subsidiaries of the Company. 
 Section 4.19. [Intentionally Omitted].

 Section 4.20. Termination of Covenants. 

If at any time the Notes achieve an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is then continuing under this Indenture, then upon the Issuers’ giving notice to the trustee of such event, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture (the
“Terminated Covenants”): Section 4.07, Section 4.08, Section 4.09, Section 4.11, Section 4.14, Section 4.15, Section 4.13, Section 5.01(a)(iv) and Section 4.12. After the foregoing
covenants have been terminated, the Company may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” 

ARTICLE 5  

SUCCESSORS 

Section 5.01. Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets. 

(a) Neither of the Issuers may, directly or indirectly: (x) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not such
Issuer is the survivor); or (y) sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless: 

(i) either: (A) such Issuer is the surviving entity of such transaction; or (B) the Person formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States,
any state thereof or the District of Columbia, provided that Finance Co may not consolidate or merge with or into any entity other than a corporation satisfying such requirement; 

 

 -46- 

 (ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if
other than such Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made expressly assumes all the obligations of such Issuer under the Notes, this Indenture pursuant to agreements
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 (iii) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of
Default exists; 
 (iv) in the case of a transaction involving the Company and not Finance Co, the Company or the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) will, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the
beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, (A) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) or (B) have a Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio for such four-quarter period equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio immediately before such transaction; provided that this Section 5.01(a)(iv) shall be terminated after the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
are not subject to the Terminated Covenants; and 
 (v) such Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required, such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture and all conditions precedent
therein relating to such transaction have been satisfied. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 5.01(a), the Company is permitted
to reorganize as any other form of entity in accordance with the procedures established in this Indenture; provided that: 

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

(iii) the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization assumes all of the Obligations of the Company under
the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 (iv) immediately
after such reorganization no Default or Event of Default exists; and 
 (v) such reorganization is not adverse to
the Holders of the Notes (for purposes of this Section 5.01(b)(v) it is stipulated that such reorganization shall not be considered adverse to the Holders of the Notes solely because the successor or survivor of such reorganization (A) is
subject to federal or state income taxation as an entity or (B) is considered to be an “includible corporation” of an affiliated group of corporations within the meaning of Section 1504(b)(i) of the Code or any similar state or
local law). 
 (c) No Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor
is the surviving Person) another Person, except the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, unless: (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists, and (ii) the Person formed by or surviving
any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Annex A hereto, except that no such assumption or supplemental indenture shall be
required in those circumstances described in Section 10.05 hereof. Subject to the foregoing exception, in case of any such consolidation or merger and upon the assumption by the successor Person by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered
to the Trustee substantially in the form of Annex A hereto, of the Guarantees contained herein and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants of this Indenture to be performed by the Subsidiary Guarantor, such successor shall succeed
to and be substituted for the Subsidiary Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Subsidiary Guarantor. Such 

 

 -47- 

 
successor thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the notations of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by
the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee. All the Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
as though all of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 5.01 to the contrary, in the event the Company becomes a corporation or the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any consolidation or merger (permitted in accordance with the terms of this Indenture) is a corporation, Finance Co
may be dissolved in accordance with this Indenture and may cease to be an Issuer. 
 Section 5.02. Successor Entity Substituted.

 (a) Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the properties or assets of an Issuer in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the surviving entity formed by such consolidation or into or with which such Issuer is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease,
conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture
referring to the “Company” or “Finance Co,” as the case may be, shall refer instead to the surviving entity and not to the Company or Finance Co, as the case may be), and may exercise every right and power of the Company or
Finance Co, as the case may be, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as an Issuer herein; and thereafter, if an Issuer is dissolved following a disposition of all or substantially all of its properties
or assets in accordance with this Indenture, it shall be discharged and released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes. 

(b) If the surviving entity shall have succeeded to and been substituted for an Issuer, such surviving entity may cause to be signed, and
may issue either in its own name or in the name of the applicable Issuer prior to such succession any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by such Issuer and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the
order of such surviving entity, instead of such Issuer, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Notes which previously shall have been signed and
delivered by the Officers of such Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes which such surviving entity thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose (in each instance with notations of Guarantees
thereon by the Subsidiary Guarantors). All of the Notes so issued and so endorsed shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued and endorsed in accordance with the terms
of this Indenture and the Guarantees as though all such Notes had been issued and endorsed at the date of the execution hereof. 

(c) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, such changes in
phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued or the Guarantees to be endorsed thereon as may be appropriate. 

ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.01. Events of Default. 

Each of the following is an “Event of Default”: 

(a) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; 

(b) default in payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes; 

(c) failure by the Company to comply (for 30 days in the case of a failure to comply that is capable of cure) with the
provisions described under Section 4.06, 4.07 or 5.01 hereof; 
  

 -48- 

 (d) failure by the Company to comply with any of its other agreements in
this Indenture for 60 days (or 180 days in the case of a Reporting Failure) after notice to the Issuers by the Trustee or to the Issuers and Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; 

(e) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured
or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or
is created after the Issue Date, if that default: 
 (i) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium,
if any, or interest on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”), or 

(ii) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, 

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has
been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $20.0 million or more; provided, that so long as the outstanding Notes have not been accelerated, if within a period of 60 days from the continuation of such
default under such other Indebtedness beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration of such other Indebtedness, as the case may be, any such default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such other
Indebtedness is repaid (other than as a result of any such acceleration), such Event of Default shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree; 

(f) failure by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments aggregating in
excess of $20.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; 
 (g)
except as permitted by this Indenture, any Guarantee by any Subsidiary Guarantor other than an Immaterial Subsidiary shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in force and effect or
any such Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any such Subsidiary Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its Obligations under its Guarantee; and 

(h) either Issuer, the General Partner or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any

(v) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; and 

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

group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 
  

 -49- 

 (ii) appoints a custodian of an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of an Issuer or any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or 

(iii) orders the liquidation of an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or

 Section 6.02. Acceleration. 

If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof) occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee may, and upon written request of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes shall declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes
shall become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clauses (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to an Issuer, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable
immediately without further action or notice. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes rescind an acceleration and its
consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or
waived. 
 Section 6.03. Other Remedies. 

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

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of
the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium and/or interest on, the Notes (including in
connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that
resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.05. Control by Majority. 

Subject to Section 7.02(f) hereof, 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, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this
Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

 

 -50- 

 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

pursue the remedy; 
 (c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the
Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (d) 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 indemnity; and 

(e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the
Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 
 A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of
another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. 
 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of
Notes to Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to
receive payment of principal, premium and interest on the Note, 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 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

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

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to an Issuer or
any of the Subsidiary Guarantors (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and
any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 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

  

 -51- 

 
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. 

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

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation,
expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 Second: to
Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium and interest,

jurisdiction shall direct.

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

 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its commercial banking or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Issuers, any Subsidiary Guarantors or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Affiliate of the Trustee or Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. However, in the event that the Trustee
acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) as trustee or resign. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and
7.11 hereof.

of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible
Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 7.06. Reports
by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 
 Within 60 days after each April 15 beginning with the April 15 following
the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA
Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by
TIA Section 313(c). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed to the
Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d). The Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing
between the Issuers and the Trustee for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers and the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation,
disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall

or administration of its duties under this 
  

 -55- 

 
Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against either of the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against
any claim (whether asserted by an Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor, 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,
liability or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence 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
and the Subsidiary Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers and the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel; provided that the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if they assume the Trustee’s defense with counsel
acceptable to and approved by the Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and there is no conflict of interest between the Issuers and the Trustee in connection with such defense. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors need not
pay for any settlement made without their consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Neither the Issuers nor the Subsidiary Guarantors need reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnity against any liability or loss of the
Trustee to the extent such expense, liability or loss is attributable to the negligence or bad faith of the Trustee. 
 The
obligations of the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the replacement of the Trustee.

it may exercise through right of set-off) prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including
the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 

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

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

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

 (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

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

  

 -56- 

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

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

 Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. As soon as practicable, the successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Issuers and the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million
as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who
satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b), provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(l) any indenture or
indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuers are outstanding if the requirements of such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(l) are met. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of Section 310(b)(9) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable. 

Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuers. 

The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who
has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

to in clauses (a) and (b) of this sentence below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in
Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuers and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.09, 4.04, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12,
4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18 and 5.01(a)(iv) hereof and any covenant added to this Indenture subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth
below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences
of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this
purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuers may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or
indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an
Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c) through 6.01(g) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 

Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes: 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 

(a) the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States
dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
outstanding Notes at the Stated Maturity thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuers must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to Stated Maturity or to a particular redemption date; 

 

 -58- 

 (b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuers
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the Issue
Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

 (c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to
federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either (i) on the date of such deposit
(other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which shall be applied to such deposit) or (ii) insofar as Sections 6.01(h) and 6.01(i) hereof are concerned, at any
time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; 
 (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (f) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, subject to customary assumptions
and qualifications; 
 (g) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating
that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding other creditors of the
Issuers; and 
 (h) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

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

Subject to Section 11.03 hereof, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including either Issuer acting as a 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. 

The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed
against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the
Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
  

 -59- 

 Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay
to the Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Issuers any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an
equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06. [Intentionally omitted]. 

Section 8.07. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with
Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, 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, then the
Issuers’ and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, as applicable, shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until
such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuers or the Subsidiary
Guarantors make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its Obligations, the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive
such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement
this Indenture, the Guarantees, or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note: 
 (a) to cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 
 (b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of
certificated Notes; 
 (c) to provide for the assumption of an Issuer’s or a Subsidiary Guarantor’s
obligations to the Holders of the Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of such Issuer’s assets or to provide for the reorganization of the Company as any other form of entity, pursuant to Article 5
hereof; 
 (d) to add or release Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the terms of this Indenture; 

(e) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or surrender any
right or power conferred upon the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors by this Indenture that does not adversely affect the rights hereunder of any Holder of the Notes, 

(f) to provide for the issuance of additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture;

 (g) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture
under the TIA; 
  

 -60- 

 (h) to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under this
Indenture of a successor Trustee; 
 (i) to add any additional Events of Default; 

(j) to secure the Notes and/or the Guarantees; 

(k) to comply with the rules of any applicable Depositary; or 

(l) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” in
the Prospectus Supplement to the extent such text of this Indenture or Guarantee was intended to reflect such provision of the “Description of Notes” in the Prospectus Supplement. 

Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the General Partner (in the case of the
Company), and of the Board of Directors of Finance Co and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors (in the case of Finance Co and the Subsidiary Guarantors), authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the
Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02(b) hereof stating that such amended or supplemental indenture complies with this Section 9.01, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors in the
execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter
into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this
Indenture (including Sections 3.09, 4.06 and 4.07 hereof), the Guarantees, and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes
may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). 

Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the General Partner (in the case of the Company)
and of the Board of Directors of Finance Co and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors (in the case of Finance Co and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors) authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the
Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02(b) hereof stating that any such amended or supplemental indenture
complies with this Section 9.02, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an
amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or
any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuers with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any
Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to
an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
  

 -61- 

 (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or
alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of the Notes, except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.06 and 4.07 hereof; 

(c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; 

(d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes
(except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 

(e) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; 

(f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of
Notes to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (other than as permitted by clause (g) below); 

(g) waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by the covenants
contained in Sections 3.09, 4.06 and 4.07 hereof); 
 (h) except as otherwise permitted by this Indenture,
release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its Obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture, or change any Guarantee in any manner that would adversely affect the right of Holders; 

(i) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 hereof or in the foregoing amendment, supplement and waiver provisions
(except to increase any percentage set forth therein); or 
 (j) modify or change any provision of this Indenture
or the related definitions affecting the ranking of the Notes or any Guarantee in a manner that adversely affects the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture, the Guarantees, or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture
that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder
of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder
of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its
terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at the close of business on
such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such 
  

 -62- 

 
amendment, supplement or waiver or revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more
than 90 days after such record date except to the extent that the requisite number of consents to the amendment, supplement or waiver have been obtained within such 90-day period or as set forth in the next paragraph of this Section 9.04.

 After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in
any of clauses (a) through (j) of Section 9.02, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences
the same indebtedness as the consenting Holder’s Note. 
 Section 9.05. Notation or Exchange of Notes. 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuers
in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes (accompanied by a notation of the Guarantees duly endorsed by the Subsidiary Guarantors) that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. Failure to make the
appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Section 9.06.
Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. 
 The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to
this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully
protected in relying upon in good faith, an Officers’ Certificate of the Company and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 

Section 9.07. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 

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 Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. After a supplemental indenture becomes effective, the
Issuers shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.07. 

ARTICLE 10  

GUARANTEES 

Section 10.01. Guarantees. 

Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees
to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the other Obligations of the Issuers hereunder or
thereunder, that the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at the maturity or interest payment or mandatory redemption date, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the
overdue principal of, premium and interest on the Notes, if any, to the extent lawful and all other Obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture and the Notes shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture and the Notes. Failing payment when so due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.
The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence
of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions of this Indenture and the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any

  

 -63- 

 
other circumstance (other than complete performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers,
protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers or Subsidiary Guarantors, or any custodian,
trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers or Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, these Guarantees, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be
reinstated in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Obligations
guaranteed hereby. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, 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 6 hereof for the purposes of these Guarantees, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such Obligations (whether or not due and
payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of these Guarantees. The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of
such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under these Guarantees. 
 Section 10.02. Limitation of Guarantor’s
Liability. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor and, by its acceptance hereof, each Holder hereby confirms that it is its intention
that the Guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to
the extent applicable to the Guarantees. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each such Person hereby irrevocably agrees that the Obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee under this Article 10 shall be limited to the maximum
amount as shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any rights to contribution of such Subsidiary
Guarantor pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable contribution among such Subsidiary Guarantor and other Affiliates of the Issuers of payments made by guarantees by such parties, result in the Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor in
respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent conveyance. Each Holder, by accepting the benefits hereof, confirms its intention that, in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding of either of the Issuers or
any Subsidiary Guarantor in which concurrent claims are made upon such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, to the extent such claims shall not be fully satisfied, each such claimant with a valid claim against such Issuer shall be entitled to a ratable
share of all payments by such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of such concurrent claims. 
 Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery of
Notations of Guarantees. 
 To evidence the Guarantees set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor
hereby agrees that a notation of the Guarantees substantially in the form of Exhibit B shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor
by one of its Officers. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guarantees set forth in Section 10.01 shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of the Guarantees. If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the notation of Guarantees no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee
authenticates the Note on which the notation of the Guarantees is endorsed, the Guarantees shall be valid nevertheless. 
  

 -64- 

 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of the Guarantees set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors. 
 Section 10.04.
[Intentionally omitted]. 
 Section 10.05. Releases. 

Concurrently with any sale of assets (including, if applicable, all of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Guarantor), any Liens in
favor of the Trustee in the assets sold thereby shall be released; provided that in the event of an Asset Sale, the Net Proceeds from such sale or other disposition are treated in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.07 hereof.
The Guarantee and all other obligations under this Indenture of a Subsidiary Guarantor will be released: (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition 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) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, if the Company applies the Net Proceeds of that sale or other disposition in accordance with
Section 4.07 hereof; or (ii) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Equity Interests of a Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary, if the Company applies the Net Proceeds of that sale in accordance with Section 4.07 hereof; (iii) in connection with the release or discharge of the Guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee pursuant
to Section 4.13 hereof or a release or discharge of all guarantees by such Subsidiary Guarantor of other Indebtedness, except a release or discharge by or as a result of payment under such Guarantee; or (iv) if the Company designates any
Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture; (v) at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to guarantee any other Indebtedness of the Company or any other
Subsidiary of the Company; or (vi) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Article 8 hereof or upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 11 hereof, provided that it is then no longer an
obligor with respect to any Indebtedness under any Credit Facility. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.07 hereof or such Guarantee is to be released pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in
order to evidence the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from all of its obligations under its Guarantee and this Indenture. Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of
principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10. 

Section 10.06. “Trustee” to Include Paying Agent. 

In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Issuers and be then acting hereunder, the
term “Trustee” as used in this Article 10 shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully and for all intents and purposes as
if such Paying Agent were named in this Article 10 in place of the Trustee. 
 ARTICLE 11  

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge.

obligations under Section 11.02 and 11.03 hereof) and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture when: 

(a) either 
  

 -65- 

 (i) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than
(A) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 and (B) Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust with the Trustee or any Paying Agent and thereafter
paid to the Issuers or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers, and the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor, in the case of clause (A), (B) or (C) above, has irrevocably
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and U.S. Government Obligations, in amounts as
will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of
fixed maturity or redemption; 
 (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the
date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any

7.07, 7.08, 11.02, 11.03 and 11.04, and the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations in Section 11.03 shall survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the Issuers’ obligations in Sections 7.07 and 11.03
shall survive. 
 In order to have money available on a payment date to pay principal (and premium, if any, on) or interest on
the Notes, the U.S. Government Obligations shall be payable as to principal (and premium, if any) or interest at least one Business Day before such payment date in such amounts as shall provide the necessary money. The U.S. Government Obligations
shall not be callable at the issuer’s option.

 Section 11.02. Application of Trust. 

All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and, at the written direction of the Issuers,
be invested prior to maturity in U.S. Government Obligations, and applied by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to
the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for the payment of which money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 Section 11.03. Repayment of the Issuers. 

The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuers upon written request any excess money or securities held by them at
any time. 
 Subject to applicable escheat laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall notify the Issuers of, and pay to the
Issuers upon written request, any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due; provided that the Issuers shall have either
caused notice of such payment to be mailed to each Holder of the Notes entitled thereto no less than 30 days prior to such repayment or within such period shall have published such notice in a financial newspaper of widespread circulation published
in The City of New York, including, without limitation, The Wall Street Journal (national edition). After payment to the Issuers, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors unless an applicable
abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease. In the absence of a written request from the Issuers to return unclaimed funds to the Issuers, the
Trustee shall from time to time deliver all unclaimed funds to or as directed by applicable escheat authorities, as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the customary practices and procedures of the Trustee.

 Section 11.04. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.01 by
reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuers’ and Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations under this
Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, as applicable, shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit has occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.02, provided, however, that if the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors have made any payment of interest or premium, if any, on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement
of their Obligations, the Issuers or such Subsidiary Guarantors shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

8  
1/4% Senior Note due 2018 

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

 1. Interest. Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
“Company”), and Penn Virginia Resource Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finance Co” and, together with the Company, the “Issuers”), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of
this Note at 8  1/4% per annum. The Issuers
will pay interest semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue
from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from April 27, 2010; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be October 15, 2010. The Issuers shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate then in effect; the Issuers 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 periods, from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of
twelve 30-day months. 
 2. Method of Payment. The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted
interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before
such Interest Payment Date, except with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and interest at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for such purpose within 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, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required
with respect to principal of, interest and premium on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent. 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. 
 3. Paying
Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Issuers or any of their
Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 
 4. Indenture. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
April 27, 2010, as supplemented by that First Supplemental Indenture dated April 27, 2010 (collectively, the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors 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, as amended (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and
such Act for a statement of such 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 to the extent permitted by law. The Notes are
unsecured general obligations of the Issuers. 
 The Issuers shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09
of the Indenture, to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Indenture. The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture. 

5. Optional Redemption. Subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture: 

(a) On and after April 15, 2014, the Issuers shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or, from time to
time, a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed to the registered address of each Holder of Notes to be so redeemed, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth
below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to 
  

 A-3 

 
the applicable redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the twelve-month
period beginning on April 15 of the years indicated below: 
  

				
	 YEAR
	  	PERCENTAGE	 
	 2014
	  	104.125	% 
	 2015
	  	102.063	% 
	 2016 and thereafter
	  	100.000	% 

(b) On or before April 15, 2014, the Issuers may redeem all or, from time to time, a part of the Notes upon not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to: 
 (i) 100% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date),
plus 
 (ii) the Make Whole Amount. 

“Make Whole Amount” means, with respect to any note at any redemption date, the excess, if any, of (1) an amount equal to
the present value of (a) the redemption price of such note at April 15, 2014 plus (b) the remaining scheduled interest payments on the Notes to be redeemed (subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date) to April 15, 2014 (other than interest accrued to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (2) the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes to be redeemed. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, at the time of computation, the yield to maturity
of United States Treasury Securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) which has become publicly available at least two business days prior to the redemption date or,
if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to April 15, 2014; provided that if such period is not equal to the constant
maturity of a United States Treasury Security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States
Treasury Securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the redemption date to April 15, 2014 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury Securities adjusted to a
constant maturity of one year shall be used. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date. Any weekly average yields calculated by interpolation will be rounded to the nearest 1/100th of 1%, with any
figure of 1/200th of 1% or above being rounded upward. 
 (c) On or before April 15, 2013, the Issuers may
on any one or more occasions redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) issued under the Indenture with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price
equal to 108.250% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest
Payment Date that is on or prior to the redemption date); provided that 
 (i) at least 65% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding after each such redemption; and 

(ii) any redemption occurs within 90 days after the closing of such Equity Offering (without regard to any over-allotment
option). 
 6. Mandatory Redemption. The Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect
to the Notes. 
  

 A-4 

 7. Repurchase at Option of Holder. Subject to the additional terms and conditions set
forth in the Indenture: 
 (a) If there is a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to
require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder’s Notes (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of
Control Offer as required by the Indenture and information regarding such other matters as is required under Section 4.06 of the Indenture. The Holder of this Note may elect to have this Note or a portion hereof in an authorized denomination
purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below and tendering this Note pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. 

(b) If the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company consummates an Asset Sale, in certain circumstances
specified in Section 4.07 of the Indenture the Issuers shall commence a pro rata offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu in right of payment with the Notes containing provisions similar to those
set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an “Asset Sale Offer”) pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes
and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to the date of purchase
in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds allocated for repurchase of Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be
purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an Asset Sale Offer will receive an offer to purchase from the Issuers prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form
entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes. 
 8. Notice of Redemption. Notice
of redemption will be mailed 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 $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in
whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption unless the Issuers defaults in making such
redemption payment. 
 9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above such amount thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or
portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the portion of any Note being redeemed in part that is not being redeemed. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of
a notice of redemption or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 
 10. Persons
Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 11. Amendment, Supplement
and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and any
existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent of any
Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the
assumption of an Issuer’s or a Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or 
  

 A-5 

 
consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of such Issuer’s assets, to add or release Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, to make any change that would
provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors by the Indenture that does not adversely affect the rights under the Indenture of any such
Holder, to provide for the issuance of additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust
Indenture Act, to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee, to add additional Events of Default or to secure the Notes and/or the Guarantees. 

12. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include in summary form: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of
interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes; (iii) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply (for 30 days in the case of a failure to comply that
is capable of cure) with Sections 4.06, 4.07 or 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company to comply with any of its other agreements in the Indenture for 60 days (or 180 days in the case of a Reporting Failure) after notice to the
Issuers by the Trustee or to the Issuers and Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; (v) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which
there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (or the payment of which is guaranteed by an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), whether such
Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, if that default: (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace
period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”) or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any such
Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $20.0 million or more; provided, that so long as the
outstanding Notes have not been accelerated, if within a period of 60 days from the continuation of such default under such other Indebtedness beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration of such other Indebtedness, as
the case may be, any such default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such other Indebtedness is repaid (other than as a result of any such acceleration), such Event of Default shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such
rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree; (vi) the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to pay final judgments by courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $20.0 million, which
judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; (vii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for
any reason to be in full force and effect or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee; and (ix) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency
with respect to an Issuer, the General Partner or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary. If any Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may or at the request of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes shall declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to an Issuer or the General Partner, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee
may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

 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 the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal or premium, if any, of the
Notes. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with this Indenture, and the Issuers are required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to
the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

 13. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its commercial banking or any
other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

14. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Unitholders and No Recourse Against General Partner. Neither the
General Partner nor any past, present or future director, officer, partner, employee, incorporator, manager or unitholder or other owner of Equity Interests of the Issuers, the General Partner or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any
liability for any Obligations of the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such Obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note
waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
 15.
Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 

16. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in
common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 

17. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the
Issuers have caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or
as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. The Issuers will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture.
