 “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” as of any date of determination means the ratio of: (a) the Total Consolidated Indebtedness as of the date of
determination (the “Determination Date”) to (b) the aggregate amount of Adjusted EBITDA for the period of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending at least 45 days prior to the Determination Date (the “Measurement
Period”). 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely for
purposes of calculating the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, (i) for any Measurement Period ending prior to the earlier of (x) the beginning of the first quarter following the date which is 15 months after the Closing Date and (y) the
beginning of the first quarter following the date on which the Company has substantially ceased receiving transition services from Verizon and its Affiliates pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement described in the Offering Circular (the
beginning of such first fiscal quarter following such earlier date, the “Cut-Off Date”), “Adjusted EBITDA” will equal Adjusted EBITDA for the latest fiscal quarter for which financial statements are publicly available times four
and (ii) for any Measurement Period ending after the Cut-Off Date, “Adjusted EBITDA” will equal (x) in the case of the first fiscal quarter ending after the Cut-Off Date, four times Adjusted EBITDA for such fiscal quarter,
(y) in the case of the second fiscal quarter ending after the Cut-Off Date, two times the sum of Adjusted EBITDA for such fiscal quarter and the preceding fiscal quarter and (z) in the case of the third fiscal quarter ending after the
Cut-Off Date, four-thirds times the sum of Adjusted EBITDA for such fiscal quarter and the preceding two fiscal quarters. 
  
 For purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA for the Measurement Period immediately prior to the relevant Determination Date: (i) any Person that is a
Restricted Subsidiary on the Determination Date (or would become a Restricted Subsidiary on such Determination Date in connection with the transaction that requires the determination of such Adjusted EBITDA) shall be deemed to have been a Restricted
Subsidiary at all times during such Measurement Period, (ii) any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary on such Determination Date (or would cease to be a Restricted Subsidiary on such Determination Date in connection with the transaction
that requires the determination of such Adjusted EBITDA) shall be deemed not to have been a Restricted Subsidiary at any time during such Measurement Period, and (iii) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have in any manner
(x) acquired (through an acquisition or the commencement of activities constituting such operating business) or (y) disposed of

Measurement Period or after the end of such period and on or prior to such Determination Date, such calculation shall be made on a pro forma basis in accordance with GAAP as if all such transactions had been consummated prior to the first day of
such Measurement Period (it being understood that in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the exclusions set forth in clauses (a) through (d) of the definition of Consolidated Net Income shall apply to a Person which has been acquired as if it
were a Restricted Subsidiary). For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting Officer of the Company. If any
Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the calculation date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking
into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably
determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any
Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an
interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the
Company may designate. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable determination of the Company as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, to reflect (1) operating expense reductions and other
operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from any acquisition, merger or operational change (including, to the extent applicable, from the Transactions) and (2) all adjustments of the nature used in connection with the
calculation of “Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA” as set forth in “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data” in this Offering Circular to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such four-quarter period.

except that: (i) subject to the limitations contained in clause (d) below, the Company’s equity in the net income of any such Restricted Subsidiary for such period shall be included in such Consolidated Net Income up to the aggregate
amount of cash actually distributed by such Restricted Subsidiary during such period to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary as a dividend or other distribution (subject, in the case of a dividend or other distribution made to another
Restricted Subsidiary, to the limitation contained in this clause) and (ii) the Company’s equity in a net loss of any such Restricted Subsidiary for such period shall be included in determining such Consolidated Net Income;

disposition of any asset of the Company or its Consolidated Subsidiaries that is not sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business and any gain or loss realized upon the sale or other disposition of any Capital Stock of any

 THE SECURITIES 
  
 SECTION 2.01. Amount of Securities; Issuable in Series. The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under
this Indenture shall not be limited. The Securities may be issued in one or more series. All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination, legends and Issuance Date. 
  
 With respect to any Additional Securities issued after the Closing Date
(except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10 or 3.06 or the Appendix), there shall be (a) established in
or pursuant to a resolution of the Governing Board of the Company and (b) (i) set forth or determined in the manner provided in an Officers’ Certificate or (ii) established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to
the issuance of such Additional Securities: 
  
 (1) whether such Additional Securities shall be issued as part of a new or existing series of Securities and the title of such Additional Securities (which shall distinguish the Additional Securities of the series from Securities of any
other series); 
  

 -30- 

 (2) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities which may be
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture, which may be in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; 
  
 (3) the issue price and issuance date of such Additional Securities, including the date from which interest on such Additional Securities
shall accrue; provided, however, that no Additional Securities may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Securities to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code;

  
 (4) if applicable, that such Additional
Securities shall be issued in a private placement transaction with registration rights; 
  
 (5) if applicable, that such Additional Securities shall be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and,
in such case, the respective depositaries for such Global Securities, the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by such Global Securities in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Exhibit A hereto and any circumstances in addition
to or in lieu of those set forth in Section 2.3 of the Appendix in which any such Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Additional Securities registered, or any transfer of such Global Security in whole or in part may be
registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof; and 
  
 (6) if applicable, that such Additional Securities shall not be issued in the form of Initial Securities as set forth in Exhibit A, but
shall be issued in the form of Exchange Securities as set forth in Exhibit B. 
  
 If any of the terms of any Additional Securities are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the Governing Board of the Company, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the
Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate or the indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Securities. 
  
 SECTION 2.02. Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Original
Securities, the Additional Securities and the Exchange Securities are set forth in the Appendix, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (a) Original Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication and (b) any Additional Securities (if issued as Transfer Restricted Securities) and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and
expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Exchange Securities and any Additional Securities issued other than as Transfer Restricted Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of
Exhibit B hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Securities 

  

 -31- 

 
shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. 
  
 SECTION 2.03. Execution and Authentication. One Officer shall sign the
Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 
  
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless. 
  
 A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication
on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
  
 The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery Securities as set forth in the Appendix. 
  
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the
Company to authenticate the Securities. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Company. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent
may authenticate 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. 
  
 SECTION 2.04.
Registrar, Paying Agent and Calculation Agent. 
  
 (a) The
Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying
Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any
additional paying agent, and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. In addition, the Company shall appoint a Calculation Agent to determine the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes as provided in Exhibit A. The Company
initially appoints the Trustee as (i) Registrar, Paying Agent and Calculation Agent in connection with the Securities and (ii) the Securities Custodian with respect to the Global Securities. 
  
 (b) The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any
Registrar, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee
of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The
Company or any of its domestically organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent. 
  

 -32- 

 (c) The Company may remove any Registrar, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent upon written notice to such
Registrar, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered
into by the Company and such successor Registrar, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar, Paying Agent or Calculation
Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company and the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. Prior to or on each
due date of the principal of and interest and additional interest (if any) on any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for
the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal, interest and additional interest (if any) when so becoming due. The Company 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 Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest and additional interest (if any) on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any
default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require
a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

  
 SECTION 2.06. 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 Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in
writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

  
 SECTION 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. The Securities
shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer and in compliance with the Appendix. When a Security is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer,
the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor are met. When Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the
Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. The Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section. The Company shall not be required to make and the Registrar need not register
transfers or exchanges of Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of 

  

 -33- 

 
Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be
redeemed. 
  
 Prior to the due presentation for registration of
transfer of any Security, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and (subject to paragraph 2 of the Securities) interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor,
the Trustee, the Paying Agent, or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 Any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interest in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by
(a) the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book
entry. 
  
 All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
  
 SECTION 2.08. Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is
surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of
Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Company or the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does
not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Company or the Trustee prior to the Security being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8 303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a
“protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee to protect the
Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security. In the event any such
mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in replacement thereof. 
  
 Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company.

  
 The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and
shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities. 
  
 SECTION 2.09. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the
Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it 

  

 -34- 

 
for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 11.06, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because
the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security. 
  
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding, the principal thereon ceases to be payable and interest on it ceases to accrue unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that
the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser. 
  
 If the
Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, interest and additional interest, if any, payable on that date with respect to the Securities
(or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
  
 SECTION 2.10. Temporary Securities. In the event that Definitive
Securities are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in
the form of Definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities and deliver
them in exchange for temporary Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company, without charge to the Holder. 
  
 SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent
shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation
and shall dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures or deliver canceled Securities to the Company pursuant to written direction by an Officer. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities they have
redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Securities in place of canceled Securities other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment
of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a
subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder a notice that states
the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. 
  
 SECTION 2.13. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”
and “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 

  

 -35- 

 
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the 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 Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
  
 ARTICLE 3 
  
 REDEMPTION 
  
 SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects or is required to redeem Securities pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of
Securities to be redeemed. 
  
 The Company shall give each notice
to the Trustee provided for in this Section at least 35 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such redemption will comply
with the conditions herein. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. 
  
 SECTION 3.02. Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by a method that the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Securities not previously
called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.

  
 SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. 
  
 (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption
of Securities, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address. 
  
 The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state: 
  
 (i) the redemption date; 
  
 (ii) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest
to, but not including, the redemption date; 
  
 (iii) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
  

 -36- 

 (iv) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to
collect the redemption price; 
  
 (v) if fewer
than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed; 
  
 (vi) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
  

(vii) the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; and 
  
 (viii) that no representation is made as to the correctness
or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities. 
  
 (b) At the Company’s request (which may be revoked at any time prior to the time at which the Trustee shall have given such notice to the Holders),
the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section. 
  
 SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of
redemption is mailed, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated
in the notice, plus accrued interest and additional interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the interest payment
date, the accrued interest and additional interest, if any, shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Securities registered on the relevant record date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the
validity of the notice to any other Holder. Notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. 
  
 SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the
Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest and additional interest, if
any, on all Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying Agent shall promptly
return to the Company any money deposited with the Paying Agent in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities to be redeemed. On and after the
redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
additional interest, if any, on, the 

  

 -37- 

 
Securities to be redeemed, unless the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 3.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a
Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

  
 ARTICLE 4 
  
 COVENANTS 
  
 SECTION 4.01. Payment of Securities. The Company shall promptly pay the principal of and interest and additional
interest, if any, on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and in this Indenture. Principal, interest and additional interest, if any, shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the
Paying Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant
to the terms of this Indenture. 
  
 The Company shall pay interest
on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
  
 SECTION 4.02. SEC Reports. Prior to the filing of the exchange offer registration statement or the shelf registration
statement that the Company has agreed to file with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Agreement dated May 2, 2005, notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, the Company shall provide the Trustee and Holders and prospective Holders (upon request) within 15 days after it would have been required to file them with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, all
quarterly and annual financial statements that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, and a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that
describes the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries and, with respect to the annual information only, an audit report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements by the
Company’s certified independent accountants. After the exchange offer registration statement or the shelf registration statement that the Company has agreed to file with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Agreement dated May 2, 2005 has
been filed, notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the SEC (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and provide the Trustee
and Holders and prospective Holders (upon request) within 15 days after it files (or would be required to file) them with the SEC, copies of the Company’s annual report and the information, documents and other reports that are specified in
Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the Company shall not be so 

  

 -38- 

 
obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event the Company will make available such information to
prospective purchasers of the Securities, in addition to providing such information to the Trustee and the holders, in each case within 15 days after the time the Company would be required to file such information with the SEC if it were subject to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In addition, following a public equity offering, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Holders, promptly upon their becoming available, copies of the annual report to shareholders and any
other information provided by Parent or the Company to its public shareholders generally. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the TIA. 
  
 In the event that: 
  
 (a) the rules and regulations of the SEC permit the Company and Parent to report at such parent entity’s level on a consolidated
basis and 
  
 (b) such parent entity of the
Company is not engaged in any business in any material respect other than incidental to its ownership, directly or indirectly, of the capital stock of the Company, 
  
 such consolidated reporting at such parent entity’s level in a manner consistent with that described in this covenant for the Company
will satisfy this covenant. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee and the holders if the Company has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available. In addition, such
requirements shall be deemed satisfied prior to the commencement of the exchange offer contemplated by the Registration Agreement relating to the Securities or the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement by the filing with the SEC of the
exchange offer registration statement and/or shelf registration statement in accordance with the provisions of such registration rights agreement, and any amendments thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X of the
Securities Act and such registration statement and/or amendments thereto are filed at times that otherwise satisfy the time requirements set forth. 
  
 In the event that Parent is or becomes a Guarantor of the Securities, the Company may satisfy its obligations in this covenant with respect to financial
information relating to the Company by furnishing financial information relating to Parent; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating
to Parent and any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company, the Guarantors and the other Subsidiaries of the Company on a standalone basis, on the other hand.

  
 SECTION 4.03. Limitation on Indebtedness. 

 
 (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, Incur any Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that 

  

 -39- 

 
is a Subsidiary Guarantor may Incur Indebtedness if on the date of such Incurrence and after giving effect thereto, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would not
be greater than 6.0 to 1. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding
Section 4.03(a), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur the following Indebtedness: 
  
 (i) Bank Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of (i) $250.0
million, plus (ii) $450.0 million less, in the case of this clause (ii), the aggregate amount of all prepayments of principal made pursuant to, and in compliance with, Section 4.06, applied to permanently reduce any such Indebtedness plus

 (ii) Indebtedness of the Company owed to and held by any
Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owed to and held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event
that results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the Incurrence
of such Indebtedness by the issuer thereof and (2) if the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the obligee is neither the Company nor a Guarantor, such Indebtedness (to the extent such Indebtedness is owed
to and held by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor) is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, with respect to the Securities or the

subordinated in right of payment to the Securities or the Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable, substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Securities or the Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable;

 (iv) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary Incurred and outstanding on or prior to the
date on which such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by the Company (other than Indebtedness Incurred in contemplation of, in connection with, as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to
consummate, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Subsidiary of or was otherwise acquired by the Company); provided, however, that either (1) on the date that such
Restricted Subsidiary is acquired by the Company, the Company would have been able to Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a) after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause

purposes of the Company in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that (A) such Interest Rate/Currency Agreements do not increase the Indebtedness of the Company outstanding at any time other than as a result of
fluctuations in interest rates or by reason of fees, indemnities and compensation payable thereunder and (B) such Commodity Hedging Agreements do not increase the Indebtedness of the Company outstanding at any time other than as a result of
fluctuations in commodity prices or by reason of fees, indemnities and compensation payable thereunder; 
  
 (vii) Purchase Money Indebtedness and Capitalized Lease Obligations (in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of the greater of
$80.0 million and 4.0% of Total Assets at the time of Incurrence);

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.03, the maximum
amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies. For purposes of determining the
outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this Section 4.03, (i) Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to the Credit Agreement prior to or on the Closing Date or in connection with the Acquisition shall be
treated as Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(i), (ii) the accrual of interest, the accretion 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 Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03,
(iii) guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of

event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in this Section 4.03, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify such Indebtedness on the date of its issuance, or later reclassify all
or a portion of such Indebtedness (other than as set forth in Section 4.03 (c)(i)) in any manner that complies with this Indenture, and only be required to include the amount of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses.

each case as provided in the definition of “Investment”) not to exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments previously made by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Unrestricted Subsidiary,
which amount was included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments.

replacement or refinancing, taken as a whole, are not, in the good faith judgment of the Company, materially more restrictive with respect to the dividend and other payment restrictions referred to above than the dividend and other payment
restrictions contained in such predecessor agreements; 
  
 (iv) in the case of clause (c), any encumbrance or restriction (1) that restricts in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is subject to a lease, license or similar contract, or

cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, purchased, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise acquired for value; provided further
that, in the case of clause (2) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment; provided, further, that upon any abandonment or termination of
such commitment, the Net Available Cash not so applied shall constitute Net Available Cash and be applied as set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.06, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not
be required to apply any Net Available Cash in accordance with this Section 4.06(a) except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions that is not applied in accordance with this Section 4.06(a) exceeds

the aggregate consideration received in the case of any individual Asset Disposition. 
  
 (b) In the event of an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of Securities pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iii)(3), the Company (i) shall be required to purchase Securities tendered pursuant to an offer
by the Company for the Securities (the “Offer”) at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) thereon, to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to
the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in Section 4.06(c) and
(ii) may, at the Company’s option, pay, purchase or redeem or otherwise retire Senior Indebtedness of the Company on the terms and to the extent contemplated thereby (provided that in no event shall the Company offer to purchase
such other Senior Indebtedness of the Company at a purchase price in excess of 100% of its principal amount (or, in the event such Senior Indebtedness was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof) (without
premium), plus accrued and unpaid interest (including any additional interest or liquidated damages) thereon. If the aggregate purchase price of Securities (and other Senior Indebtedness) tendered pursuant to the Offer is less than the Net Available
Cash allotted to the purchase of the Securities (and other Senior Indebtedness), the Company shall apply the remaining Net Available Cash in accordance with Section 4.06(a)(iii)(4). The Company shall not be required to make an Offer for
Securities (and other Senior Indebtedness) pursuant to this Section 4.06 if the Net Available Cash available therefor (after application of the proceeds as provided in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 4.06(a)(iii)) is less than
$15.0 million for any particular Asset Disposition (which lesser amount shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether an Offer is required with respect to the Net Available Cash from any subsequent Asset Disposition). 
  
 (c) (i) Promptly, and in any event within 10 days after the Company becomes
obligated to make an Offer, the Company shall be obligated to deliver to the Trustee and send, by first-class mail to each Holder, a written notice stating that the Holder may elect to have his Securities purchased by the Company either in whole or
in part (subject to prorating as hereinafter described in the event the Offer is oversubscribed) in integral multiples of $1,000 of principal amount, at the appropriate purchase price. The notice shall specify a purchase date not less than 30 days
nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice (the “Purchase Date”) and shall contain the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10 K (including audited consolidated financial statements) of the Company, the most recent
subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10 Q and any Current Report on Form 8 K of the Company filed subsequent to such Quarterly Report, other than Current Reports describing Asset Dispositions otherwise described in the offering materials (or
corresponding successor reports) to the extent not publicly available and all 

  

 -51- 

 
instructions and materials necessary to tender Securities pursuant to the Offer, together with the address referred to in clause (iii). 
  
 (ii) Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Offer is
delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as to (1) the amount of the Offer (the “Offer Amount”), (2) the allocation of the Net Available Cash from the
Asset Dispositions pursuant to which such Offer is being made and (3) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(a). On such date, the Company shall also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with a paying
agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the Offer Amount to be invested in Temporary Cash Investments and to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
Upon the expiration of the period for which the Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Securities or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be
accepted by the Company. The Trustee (or the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price. In the event that the Offer Amount delivered by the
Company to the Trustee is greater than the purchase price of the Securities (and other Senior Indebtedness) tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Company immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in
accordance with this Section 4.06. 
  
 (iii) Holders electing
to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the Purchase Date. Holders shall be
entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the Purchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of
the Security which was delivered by the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased. If at the expiration of the Offer Period the aggregate principal amount of Securities and any
other Senior Indebtedness included in the Offer surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Securities and other Senior Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be
deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Securities and other Senior Indebtedness in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased). Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part will be issued new Securities
equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered. 
  
 (iv) At the time the Company delivers Securities to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Securities are to be accepted by
the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section. A Security shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering
Holder. 
  
 (v) The Company shall comply, to the extent
applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection 

  

 -52- 

 
with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions
of this Section, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue thereof. 
  
 SECTION 4.07. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. 

 
 (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any Affiliate Transactions unless such Affiliate Transaction is on terms (i) that are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those
that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate and (ii) that, in the event that such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess
of $10.0 million have been approved by a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company, along with an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with
Section 4.07(a). 
  
 (b) The provisions of
Section 4.07(a) shall not prohibit (i) any Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment permitted to be paid pursuant to Section 4.04, (ii) any employment agreements entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
in the ordinary course of business and any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans or similar

Company pursuant to plans approved by the Governing Board of the Company, (iv) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business which are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith, but in any
event not to exceed $12.5 million in the aggregate outstanding at any one time, (v) the payment of compensation and reasonable fees to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, directors of the Company, Parent and of its Subsidiaries,
(vi) (A) any transaction between or among the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries and (B) any merger of the Company and Parent; provided that Parent shall have no material liabilities
and no material assets other than cash, Temporary Cash Investments and the Capital Stock of the Company and such merger is otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Securities and effected for a bona fide business purpose, (vii) the
entering into of any agreement to pay, and the payment of, annual management, consulting, monitoring and advisory fees and expenses to the Sponsor to the extent described in the Offering Circular, (viii) any transaction with customers, clients,
suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, which are fair to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Governing Board or
its senior management, or are on terms at least as favorable as could reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party, (ix) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its
obligations under the terms of any Acquisition Document or stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Closing Date 

  

 -53- 

 
and any amendment thereto or similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the
performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Closing Date shall only be permitted by this clause
(ix) to the extent that the terms of any such existing agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or new agreement are not otherwise materially more disadvantageous, taken as a whole to the holders of the Securities than
the original agreement as in effect on the Closing Date, (x) any consolidation, merger or conveyance, transfer or lease of assets permitted under Section 5.01, (xi) payments by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the
Sponsor made for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities, including, without limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are made

as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of clause
(a) of the preceding paragraph, (xiii) any agreement as in effect as of the Closing Date or any amendment thereto (so long as any such agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the
holders of the fixed rate notes in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Closing Date) or any transaction contemplated thereby as described in the Offering Circular, (xiv) the payment of all fees and expenses
related to the Transactions, (xv) any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Financing, (xvi) the issuance of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock and Designated Preferred Stock of the Company) to any Person, and

 SECTION 4.08. Change of Control. 
  
 (a) Upon a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require the
Company to purchase all or any part of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) to, the date of purchase (subject
to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest (including additional interest, if any) due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of
Control, the Company shall not be obligated to purchase the Securities pursuant to this Section 4.08 in the event that it has exercised its right to redeem all the Securities under paragraph 5 of the Securities. In the event that at the time of
such Change of Control the terms of the Bank Indebtedness restrict or prohibit the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 4.08, then prior to the mailing of the notice to Holders provided for in Section 4.08(b) below but in any
event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall (i) repay in full all Bank Indebtedness or, if doing so will allow the purchase of Securities, offer to repay in full all Bank Indebtedness and repay the Bank Indebtedness
of each lender who has accepted such offer or (ii) obtain the 

  

 -54- 

 
requisite consent under the agreements governing the Bank Indebtedness to permit the repurchase of the Securities as provided for in Section 4.08(b).

  
 (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control (except as
provided in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 4.08(a)), the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”) stating: 
  
 (i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such
Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if
any) to, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest (including additional interest, if any) on the relevant interest payment date); 
  
 (ii) the circumstances and relevant facts and financial
information regarding such Change of Control;

purchased. 
  
 (c) Holders electing to have a Security purchased
shall be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election
if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security which was delivered for
purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased. Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
portion of the Securities surrendered. 
  
 (d) On the purchase
date, all Securities purchased by the Company under this Section shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the Holders
entitled thereto. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth
in Section 4.08(b) applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 
  

 -55- 

 (f) The Company shall be entitled to make a Change of Control Offer in advance of a Change of Control,
and conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for such Change of Control at the time of making of such Change of Control Offer. Securities repurchased by the Company pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will
have the status of Securities issued but not outstanding or will be retired and canceled, at the option of the Company. Securities purchased by a third party pursuant to Section 4.08(e) shall have the status of Securities issued and
outstanding. 
  
 (g) At the time the Company deliver Securities to
the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Securities are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.08. A
Security shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder. 
  
 (h) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and
any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section, the Company shall
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue thereof. 
  
 SECTION 4.09. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company an
Officers’ Certificate stating whether or not the signers know of any Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or propose to take with
respect thereto. The Company also shall comply with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA to the extent required. 
  
 SECTION 4.10. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such
further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 4.11. Future Subsidiary Note Guarantors. The Company shall cause each Domestic Subsidiary that Incurs or Guarantees any Bank Indebtedness
to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, and, if applicable, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit E pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary will Guarantee payment of the Securities. 
  
 SECTION 4.12. Limitation on Lines of Business. The Company shall not,
and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business, other than a Permitted Business. 
  
 SECTION 4.13. Additional Interest. If additional interest is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 1(b) of the Initial Securities, the
form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate to that effect stating (i) the 
  

 -56- 

 
amount of such additional interest per $1,000 principal amount of the Initial Securities that is payable, (ii) the facts and calculations supporting the
determination of such amount and (iii) the date on which such additional interest is payable. Unless and until a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such additional interest
is payable. 
  
 SECTION 4.14. Limitation on Liens. The
Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist any Lien of any nature whatsoever on any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether
owned at the Closing Date or thereafter acquired, that secures any Indebtedness other than Permitted Liens, without effectively providing that the Securities shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured for so
long as such obligations are so secured; provided, however, that the Company may Incur other Liens to secure Indebtedness as long as the amount of outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens Incurred pursuant to this proviso does not
exceed 5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, as determined based on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending at least 45 days prior thereto.

 (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction

transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 
  
 (iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, either (A) the Successor Company would be able to Incur an

exercise every right and power of, the Company, under this Indenture.

 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
  
 SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if:

total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $20.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time; 
  
 (f) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 
  
 (i) commences a voluntary case; 
  
 (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it
in an involuntary case; 
  
 (iii) consents to the
appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or 
  
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 
  
 or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; 
  
 (g) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or
decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 
  
 (i) is
for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 
  
 (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its property; or 
  
 (iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or
any Significant Subsidiary; 
  
 or any similar relief is granted
under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; 
  
 (h) any judgment or decree for the payment of money (other than judgments which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by
reputable and creditworthy insurance companies) in excess of $20.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent is rendered against the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and either (i) an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor
upon such judgment or decree or (ii) there 

  

 -59- 

 
is a period of 60 days following the entry of such judgment or decree during which such judgment or decree is not discharged, waived or the execution thereof
stayed; or 
  
 (i) any Subsidiary Guarantee
ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any Subsidiary Guarantor or Person acting by or on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or any Subsidiary
Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days after receipt of the notice specified below. 
  
 The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 
  
 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term
“Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  
 A Default under clause (d) or (h) above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities notify the Company and the Trustee of the Default and the Company or the Subsidiary, as applicable, does not cure such Default within the time specified in clauses (d) or (h) above after
receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. 
  
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any
event which is, or with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company are taking or propose to take with respect thereto. 
  
 SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities by notice to
the Company and the Trustee may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the
Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing
Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. In the event of
any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without 
  

 -60- 

 
any action by the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers an Officers’
Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case
may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the floating rate notes as
described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events. 
  
 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture. 
  
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an
Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 
  
 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Security, (b) a Default arising from the failure to
redeem or purchase any Security when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default is
waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. 
  
 SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to
Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that
is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

  
 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 
  
 (a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if
any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless: 
  
 (i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing; 
  

 -61- 

 (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities make a
written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
  
 (iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense; 
  
 (iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

  
 (v) the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Securities do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60 day period. 
  
 (b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 

 
 SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and additional interest and interest on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the
Securities, 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 (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Securities) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07. 
  
 SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, any Subsidiary or Subsidiary Guarantor, their creditors or their property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable
regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the
Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 
  
 SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days
before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 
  
 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee
for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, 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 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a
Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities.

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

 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to
the requirements of this Indenture. 
  
 (c) The Trustee may not be
relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
  
 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction
received by it pursuant to Section 6.05; and 
  
 (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it
shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
  
 (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

  

 -64- 

 (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may
agree in writing with the Company. 
  
 (f) Money held in trust by
the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
  
 (g) 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 and to the provisions of the TIA.

  
 SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee.

have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

 (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of
counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Securities shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 
  
 (f) 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, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document
unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney. 
  
 (g) Except with respect to Section 4.01, the Trustee shall have no duty

 -65- 

 
or Event of Default of which the Trustee shall have received written notification or obtained actual knowledge. 
  
 (h) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under
Section 4.02 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Company’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
  
 SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and
may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

  
 SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee
shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it
shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under Sections 6.01(c), (d), (e), (h) or (i) or of the identity of any Significant Subsidiary unless either (a) a Trust Officer shall
have actual knowledge thereof or (b) the Trustee shall have received notice thereof in accordance with Section 11.02 hereof from the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Holder. 
  
 SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is
continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the
Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Security (including payments pursuant to the redemption provisions of such Security, if any), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long
as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. 
  
 SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. As promptly as practicable after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of
this Indenture, and in any event prior to July 15 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with Section 313(a) of the TIA if and to the extent required thereby. The
Trustee shall also comply with Section 313(b) of the TIA. 
  
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Securities are listed. The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Securities become
listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 
  

 -66- 

 SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services as the Trustee and the Company shall agree from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the
Trustee upon request for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services except any such expense as may arise from its negligence, willful misconduct or
bad faith. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall
indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by or in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, except as provided in
the last sentence of this paragraph. The Trustee shall notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Company shall
not relieve the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of their indemnity obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in the defense. Such
indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if
they assume such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in connection with
such defense. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
  
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee
shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest and additional interest, if any, on particular Securities. 
  
 The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive
the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable
law, when the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to either of the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

  
 SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 
  
 (a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove the Trustee with the reasonable consent of the Company by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 
  
 (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

  

 -67- 

 (ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 
  
 (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
Trustee or its property; or 
  
 (iv) the Trustee
otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 
  
 (b) If the Trustee
resigns or is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the
Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 
  
 (c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. 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. The retiring
Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07. 
  
 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of
10% in principal amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 (e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in Section 310(b) of the
TIA, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 (f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section,
the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its
corporate trust business or assets (including the administration of the trust created by this Indenture) to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation 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 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 Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the
name of any predecessor hereunder 

  

 -68- 

 
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 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 (or, in the case of a subsidiary of a bank holding company,
the Trustee’s corporate parent) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA, subject to
its right to apply for a stay of its duty to resign under the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA any indenture or
indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA are met. 
  
 SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuers. 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. 
  
 ARTICLE 8 
  
 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 
  
 SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance.

  
 (a) When (i) either (1) all the Securities that have
been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities that have been replaced or paid, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or (2) all the Securities that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have
become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantors have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, in amounts sufficient without
consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Securities not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest (including additional
interest), if any, to, but not including, the date of maturity or redemption; (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit; (iii) the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantors have paid, or
caused to be paid, all sums payable by them under this Indenture; and (iv) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Securities at maturity or
the redemption date, as the case may be, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further effect. 
  

 -69- 

 In the case of clause (2) above, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee which shall state that all conditions precedent to the satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied and (iii) the Company obligations that would survive legal defeasance will remain outstanding. 

 
 (b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may
terminate (i) all of their obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) their obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.11, 4.12 and 4.14 and the operation
of Section 5.01(a)(iii), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only) and 6.01(h) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Company
may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding their prior exercise of their covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Company terminates all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture by exercising their legal
defeasance option, the obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees shall each be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations. 
  
 If the Company exercise their legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company
exercise their covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only), 6.01(g) (with respect to
Significant Subsidiaries only), 6.01(h) or 6.01(i) or because of the failure of the Company to comply with clause (iii) of Section 5.01(a). 
  
 Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those
obligations that the Company terminate. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding
clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 7.07, 7.08 and in this Article 8 shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s
obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive. 
  
 SECTION 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. 
  
 (a)
The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if: 
  
 (i) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money in an amount sufficient or U.S. Government Obligations, the principal
of and interest on which will be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, to pay the principal of, and premium (if any), interest and additional interest (if any), on the Securities when due at maturity or redemption, as the case may be,
including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date; 
  
 (ii) the Company deliver to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants or reputable investment banking firm expressing 

  

 -70- 

 
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 principal, premium, if any, interest and additional interest, if any, when due on all the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may
be; 
  
 (iii) 91 days pass after the deposit is
made and during the 91 day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 
  
 (iv) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Company; 

 
 (v) the Company delivers 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; 
  
 (vi) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel stating that (1) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (2) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in
either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred; 
  

(vii) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and 
  
 (viii) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Securities as contemplated by this
Article 8 have been complied with.

deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date in accordance with Article 3.

Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest and additional interest, if any, on the
Securities. 
  

 -71- 

 SECTION 8.04. Repayment to Issuers. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to
the Company upon request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article which, in the written opinion of nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or reputable investment banking firm delivered to
the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if U.S. Government Obligations have been so deposited), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance
with this Article. 
  
 Subject to any applicable abandoned
property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal, interest or additional interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled
to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 
  
 SECTION 8.05. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations. 
  
 SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s
obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest or additional interest on, any Securities because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
  
 ARTICLE 9

 After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company 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 9.01.

Holder’s 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 Securities; 
  
 (viii) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 or the second sentence of this Section 9.02; or

  
 (ix) modify the Subsidiary Guarantees in any
manner adverse to the Holders. 
  
 It shall not be necessary for
the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
  
 After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to 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 9.02. 
  
 SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to
this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 
  
 SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. 
  
 (a) A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the
Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such
Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate from the Company certifying that the requisite number of consents have
been received. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Company or the Trustee of the requisite number of consents, (ii) satisfaction
of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Company and the Trustee.

  
 (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a
record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described 

  

 -74- 

 
above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph,
those Persons who were Holders 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 after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 
  
 SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the
Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the
Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 
  
 SECTION 9.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any
amendment authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and
complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). 
  
 SECTION 9.07. Payment for Consent. Neither Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth
in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

 SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES 
  
 SECTION 11.01. Subsidiary Guarantees. 
  
 (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to
each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including
obligations to the Trustee) and the Securities, whether for payment of principal of, interest on or additional interest, if any, in respect of the Securities and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities
and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being
hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such
Subsidiary Guarantor, and that each such Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 11 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. 
  
 (b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be
affected by (i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise;
(ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by
any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the
ownership of such Subsidiary Guarantor, except as provided in Section 11.02(b). 
  
 (c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Subsidiary Guarantors, such that such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations would
be less than the full amount claimed. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company first be used and depleted as payment of the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Company be sued prior to an action being
initiated against such Subsidiary Guarantor. 
  

 -76- 

 (d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee
of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
  
 (e) [Reserved] 
  
 (f) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 11.02 and 11.06, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor
hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein
shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification
of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the
risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 
  
 (g) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed
Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest or additional
interest, if any, on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of either of the Company or otherwise. 
  
 (h) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right
which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest or additional interest, if any, on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as
the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the
Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed
Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee. 
  
 (i) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranteed
Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the
Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided 

  

 -77- 

 
in Article 6 for the purposes of any Subsidiary Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall
forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 11.01. 
  
 (j) Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the
Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 11.01. 
  
 (k) Upon request of the Trustee, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose
of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 11.02. Limitation on
Liability. 
  
 (a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to
the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it
relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 
  
 (b) A Subsidiary Guarantee as to any Subsidiary Guarantor shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and such
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to be released from all obligations under this Article 11 upon (i) any sale by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (or any pledgee of the Company) of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor
(including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person or a group of Persons that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction ) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that each such merger,
consolidation or sale (or, in the case of a sale by such a pledgee, the disposition of the proceeds of such sale) not be a violation of Section 4.06 and Section 5.01(b); (ii) the Company designating such Restricted Subsidiary that is
a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; (iii) such Subsidiary Guarantor being released from its Guarantee of, and all pledges and security interests granted in
connection with, the Credit Agreement; or (iv) upon the Company’s exercise of its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option pursuant to Section 8.01 or if the Company’s obligations under this Indenture are discharged
in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. At the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release (in the form provided by the Company). 
  
 SECTION 11.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article 11 shall be
binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee,
the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in 

  

 -78- 

 
this Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of
this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 11.04. No Waiver. Neither a
failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 11 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this
Article 11 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 
  
 SECTION
11.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 11, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to
any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 
  
 SECTION 11.06. Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary which is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.11 shall promptly execute and
deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit E hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 11 and shall guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations. Concurrently with the
execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by such Subsidiary and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered
in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor, enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms and or to
such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request. 
  
 SECTION 11.07. Non-Impairment. The failure to endorse a Subsidiary Guarantee on any Security shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

(ii) resold, initially only to (1) QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A and (2) Persons other than U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S) in reliance on Regulation S. Such Initial Securities may thereafter be transferred to, among others,
QIBs, purchasers in reliance on Regulation S. Additional Securities offered after the date hereof may be offered and sold by the Company from time to time pursuant to one or more Purchase Agreements in accordance with applicable law.

  
 (b) Global Securities. Rule 144A Securities shall be

temporary global Securities (collectively, the “Temporary Regulation S Global Security”), in each case without interest coupons and bearing the Global Securities Legend and Restricted Securities Legend, which shall be deposited on behalf
of the purchasers of the Securities represented thereby with the Securities Custodian, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in this

 (c) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.1(c) shall apply
only to a Global Security deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary. 
  
 The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.2 and pursuant to an order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company, authenticate and deliver
initially one or more Global Securities that (i) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Global Securities or the nominee of such Depositary and (ii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such

additional information and documents, as applicable: 
  
 (A) if such Definitive Securities are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of

 (B) if such
Definitive Securities are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial Security); or 
  
 (C) if such Definitive Securities are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration in

 (ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or
to direct the Securities Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Global Security, such instructions

Global Security shall deliver a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Security or
another Global Security and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Security and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the
beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred. Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through either the Temporary Regulation S Global
Security or the Permanent Regulation S Global Security shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification in the form provided on the reverse of the Initial Securities from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made
in accordance with Regulation S or (if available) Rule 144 under the Securities Act. 
  
 (ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an
increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date
and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of Global Security from which such interest is being transferred. 
  
 (iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Security 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. 
  
 (iv) In the event that a Global
Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities pursuant to Section 2.4 prior to the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Securities, such Securities may be
exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Securities intended to ensure that such

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL SECURITY] 
  
 Senior Floating Rate Note due 2013 
  

	1.	Interest 

  
 (a) HAWAIIAN TELCOM COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this
Security at a rate per annum, reset semiannually, equal to LIBOR plus 5.50% as determined by an agent appointed by the Company (the “Calculation Agent”). The Company shall pay interest semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each
year. Interest on the Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from May 2, 2005 until the principal hereof is due. Interest
shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year of actual number days elapsed. 
  
 For purposes of this Section 1, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated below: 
  
 “Interest Period” refers to the period from and including the date of original issuance of the Securities to the day immediately preceding the
first interest payment date thereon, and each period from and including each interest payment date to, but excluding, the next interest payment date or the maturity date, as the case may be. 
  
 “LIBOR” will be determined by the calculation agent in accordance
with the following provisions: 
  
 (1) With
respect to any interest determination date, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period that appears on Moneyline Telerate Page 3750 as
of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that interest determination date. If no rate appears, then LIBOR, in respect to that interest determination date, will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in (2) below. 
  
 (2) With respect to an interest determination date on which
no rate appears on Moneyline Telerate Page 3750, as specified in (1) above, the calculation agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the calculation
agent, to provide the calculation agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period, to prime banks in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that interest determination date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then
LIBOR on that interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately
11:00 a.m., in The City of New York, on the interest determination date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the calculation agent for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in
a principal amount that 

 
is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time; provided, however, that if the banks selected by the
calculation agent are not providing quotations in the manner described by this sentence, LIBOR determined as of that interest determination date will be LIBOR in effect on that interest determination date. 
  
 “Moneyline Telerate Page 3750” means the display designated as
“Page 3750” on Moneyline Telerate, or any successor service, for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for United States dollars. 
  
 The amount of accrued interest that we will pay for any Interest Period can be calculated by multiplying the face amount of
the Security by an accrued interest factor. This accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from the date of original issuance of the Security, or from the last date we paid interest thereon, to the
date for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each day is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to that day by 360. 
  

The interest rate will not exceed the rate permitted by applicable law. The initial calculation agent will be the Trustee. The interest determination
date for an Interest Period will be the second London business day preceding such Interest Period. Promptly upon determination, the calculation agent will inform the trustee of the interest rate for the next Interest Period. Absent manifest error,
the determination of the interest rate by the calculation agent will be binding and conclusive on the holders of the Securities. 
  
 (b) Additional Interest. The Holder of this Security is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 2, 2005,
among the Company and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this paragraph (b) but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Agreement. As more
fully set forth therein, the Registration Agreement provides that in the event that the Exchange Offer is not completed or, if required by the terms of the Registration Agreement, the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective on or
prior to the 365th day following the Acquisition, the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period and will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each
subsequent 90-day period until the Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required thereby, is declared effective by the SEC or the Securities become freely tradable under the Securities Act; provided,
however, that in no event will such additional interest exceed 1.00%. If the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective and thereafter either ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable at any
time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 60 consecutive days or more than 90 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period, then the interest rate on the Registrable
Securities will be increased by 1.00% per annum commencing on the 61st or 91st day in such 12-month period and ending on such date that the Shelf Registration Statement has again been declared effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable;
provided that, in no event will additional interest together with additional interest from the previous sentence, if any, exceed 1.00%. All accrued additional interest shall be paid to Holders in the same manner as interest payments on the
Securities on semi-annual payment dates which correspond to interest payment dates for the Securities. Following 

  

 -2- 

 
the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of additional interest shall cease. The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the
determination of the amount of any such additional interest. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

  
 The Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the
April 15 or October 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal
payments. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, additional interest, if any, and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect
of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, additional interest, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust
Company or any successor depositary. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium, if any, interest and additional interest, if any), at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the
option of the Company, payment of interest or additional interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Securities may also be made, in the case of a
Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the
Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 
  

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

  
 Initially, U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company
may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. Either the Company or any of the Company’s domestically organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
  

	4.	Indenture 

  
 The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of May 2, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The
terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the
“TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Holders (as defined in the Indenture) are
referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions. 
  

 -3- 

 The Securities are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. This Security is one of the [Original]
[Additional] Securities referred to in the Indenture. The Securities include the Original Securities, the Additional Securities and any Exchange Securities issued in exchange for Initial Securities pursuant to the Indenture. The Original Securities,
the Additional Securities and any Exchange Securities are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things,
make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into
or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make asset sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or
convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its property. 
  
 To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal, interest and additional interest, if any, on the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due
and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantors have, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior
basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 
  

	5.	Optional Redemption 

  
 Except as set forth in the following paragraphs, the Securities will not be redeemable at the option of the Company. 
  
 After May 1, 2007, the Company may redeem the Securities, in whole or in
part, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) thereon to the redemption
date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest (including additional interest, if any) due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on May 1 of
the years set forth below: 
  

				
	 Year

	 2007
	  	102.000	%
	 2008
	  	101.000	%
	 2009 and thereafter
	  	100.000	%

  
 In addition, prior to
May 1, 2007 the Company may redeem up to a maximum of 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Qualified
Equity Offerings (i) by the Company or (ii) by Parent to the extent the Net Cash Proceeds thereof are contributed to the Company or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company from the Company, at a
redemption price equal to 100.000% of the principal 

  

 -4- 

 
amount thereof, plus a premium equal to the interest rate per annum on the Securities applicable on the date on which such notice of redemption was given
plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment
date); provided, however, that after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) remains
outstanding. Any such redemption shall be made within 90 days of such Qualified Equity Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice mailed to each Holder of Securities being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set
forth in the Indenture. 
  

	6.	Sinking Fund 

  
 The Securities are not subject to any sinking fund. 
  

	7.	Notice of Redemption 

  
 Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities
to be redeemed at his or her registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest and
additional interest, if any, on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date
interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
  

	8.	Repurchase of Securities at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Dispositions 

  
 Upon a Change of Control, any Holder of Securities will have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the
Indenture, to cause the Company to purchase all or any part of the Securities of such Holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if
any, to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due and additional interest, if any, on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of
purchase) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 
  
 In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to purchase Securities upon the occurrence of certain events. 
  

	9.	[Reserved] 

  

 -5- 

	10.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

  
 The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange
Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer
or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Securities to be redeemed. 
  

	11.	Persons Deemed Owners 

  
 Except as provided in paragraph 2 hereof, the registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 
  

	12.	Unclaimed Money 

  
 If money for the payment of principal or interest or additional interest, if any, remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall
pay the money back to the Company at their written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors and the Trustee
and the Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 
  

	13.	Discharge and Defeasance 

  
 Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all their obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the
Company deposit with the Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars and/or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, and interest and additional interest, if any, on, the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

  

	14.	Amendment, Waiver 

  
 Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended without prior notice to any Holder but
with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities and (ii) any default may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Securities. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities (i) to cure any ambiguity,
omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; provided, however, that the
uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such that the uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; (iv) to 

  

 -6- 

 
add Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Securities; (v) to secure the Securities; (vi) to add additional covenants for the benefit of the
Holders or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company; (vii) to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (viii) to make any change that does not
adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or (ix) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Securities or Additional Securities, which shall have terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities (except that
the transfer restrictions contained in the Initial Securities shall be modified or eliminated, as appropriate), and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding Initial Securities, as a single issue of securities. 
  

	15.	Defaults and Remedies 

  
 If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company) and
is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of either of the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Securities shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee
or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences. 
  
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under
no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense and
certain other conditions are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Securities unless (i) such
Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy,
(iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of
security or indemnity and (v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60 day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal
liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
  

 -7- 

	16.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 

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

	17.	No Recourse Against Others 

  
 A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
  

	18.	Authentication 

  
 This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the other side of this Security. 
  

	19.	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 rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 
  

	20.	Governing Law 

  
 THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 
  

	21.	CUSIP and ISIN Numbers 

  
 The Company have caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Securities and have directed the Trustee to use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
placed thereon, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

 The Company will furnish to any Holder of Securities upon written request and without charge to the
Holder a copy of the Indenture which has in it the text of this Security.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF EXCHANGE SECURITY] 
  
 Senior Floating Rate Note due 2013 
  

	1.	Interest. 

  
 HAWAIIAN TELCOM COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security
at the rate per annum, reset semiannually, equal to LIBOR plus 5.50% as determined by an agent appointed by the Company (the “Calculation Agent”). The Company shall pay interest semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year.
Interest on the Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from May 2, 2005 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be
computed on the basis of a 360 day year of actual number days elapsed. 
  
 For purposes of this Section 1, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated below: 
  
 “Interest Period” refers to the period from and including the date of original issuance of the Securities to the day immediately preceding the
first interest payment date thereon, and each period from and including each interest payment date to, but excluding, the next interest payment date or the maturity date, as the case may be. 
  
 “LIBOR” will be determined by the calculation agent in accordance
with the following provisions: 
  
 (1) With
respect to any interest determination date, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period that appears on Moneyline Telerate Page 3750 as
of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that interest determination date. If no rate appears, then LIBOR, in respect to that interest determination date, will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in (2) below. 
  
 (2) With respect to an interest determination date on which
no rate appears on Moneyline Telerate Page 3750, as specified in (1) above, the calculation agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the calculation
agent, to provide the calculation agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period, to prime banks in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that interest determination date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then
LIBOR on that interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately
11:00 a.m., in The City of New York, on the interest determination date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the calculation agent for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in
a principal amount that 

 
is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time; provided, however, that if the banks selected by the
calculation agent are not providing quotations in the manner described by this sentence, LIBOR determined as of that interest determination date will be LIBOR in effect on that interest determination date. 
  
 “Moneyline Telerate Page 3750” means the display designated as
“Page 3750” on Moneyline Telerate, or any successor service, for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for United States dollars. 
  
 The amount of accrued interest that we will pay for any Interest Period can be calculated by multiplying the face amount of
the Security by an accrued interest factor. This accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from the date of original issuance of the Security, or from the last date we paid interest thereon, to the
date for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each day is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to that day by 360. 
  

The interest rate will not exceed the rate permitted by applicable law. The initial calculation agent will be the Trustee. The interest determination
date for an Interest Period will be the second London business day preceding such Interest Period. Promptly upon determination, the calculation agent will inform the trustee of the interest rate for the next Interest Period. Absent manifest error,
the determination of the interest rate by the calculation agent will be binding and conclusive on the holders of the Securities. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

  
 The Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the
April 15 or October 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal
payments. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented
by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary. The Company will make all payments
in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest), at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of
each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Securities may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by
the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant
due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 
  

 -2- 

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

  
 Initially, U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company
may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The Company or any of the Company’s domestically organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
  

	4.	Indenture 

  
 The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of May 2, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The
terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the
“TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Holders (as defined in the Indenture) are
referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions. 
  
 The Securities are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. This Security is one of the [Original] [Additional] Securities referred to in the Indenture. The Securities include the Original Securities, the
Additional Securities and any Exchange Securities issued in exchange for Initial Securities pursuant to the Indenture. The Original Securities, the Additional Securities and any Exchange Securities are treated as a single class of securities under
the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur
Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make asset sales. The
Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its property. 
  
 To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal, interest and
additional interest, if any, on the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the
terms of the Securities and the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantors have, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 
  

	5.	Optional Redemption 

  
 Except as set forth in the following paragraphs, the Securities will not be redeemable at the option of the Company. 
  
 After May 1, 2007, the Company may redeem the Securities, in whole or in
part, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at the following redemption prices 

  

 -3- 

 
(expressed as percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) thereon to the redemption date
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest (including additional interest, if any) due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on May 1 of the

	 2008
	  	101.000	%
	 2009 and thereafter
	  	100.000	%

  
 In addition, prior to
May 1, 2007 the Company may redeem up to a maximum of 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Qualified
Equity Offerings (i) by the Company or (ii) by Parent to the extent the Net Cash Proceeds thereof are contributed to the Company or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company from the Company, at a
redemption price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus a premium equal to the interest rate per annum on the Securities applicable on the date on which such notice of redemption was given plus accrued and unpaid interest and
additional interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however,
that after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) remains outstanding. Any such redemption shall be made
within 90 days of such Qualified Equity Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice mailed to each Holder of Securities being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. 
  

	6.	Sinking Fund 

  
 The Securities are not subject to any sinking fund. 
  

	7.	Notice of Redemption 

  
 Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities
to be redeemed at his or her registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest and
additional interest, if any, on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date
interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
  

 -4- 

	8.	Repurchase of Securities at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Dispositions  

  
 Upon a Change of Control, any Holder of Securities will have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the
Indenture, to cause the Company to purchase all or any part of the Securities of such Holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if
any, to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest and additional interest, if any, due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of
purchase) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 
  
 In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to purchase Securities upon the occurrence of certain events. 
  

	9.	[RESERVED] 

  

	10.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

  
 The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange
Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer
or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. 
  

	11.	Persons Deemed Owners 

  
 Except as provided in paragraph 2 hereof, the registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 
  

	12.	Unclaimed Money 

  
 If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the
Company at their written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall
have no further liability with respect to such monies. 
  

	13.	Discharge and Defeasance 

  
 Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all their obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the
Company deposits with the 

  

 -5- 

 
Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars and/or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Securities to redemption or
maturity, as the case may be. 
  

	14.	Amendment, Waiver 

  
 Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended without prior notice to any Holder but
with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities and (ii) any default may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Securities. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities (i) to cure any ambiguity,
omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; provided, however, that the
uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such that the uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; (iv) to add Subsidiary
Guarantees with respect to the Securities; (v) to secure the Securities; (vi) to add additional covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company; (vii) to comply with the requirements
of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (viii) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or (ix) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Securities
or Additional Securities, which shall have terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities (except that the transfer restrictions contained in the Initial Securities shall be modified or eliminated, as appropriate),
and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding Initial Securities, as a single issue of securities. 
  

	15.	Defaults and Remedies 

  
 If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company) and
is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of either of the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Securities shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee
or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences. 
  
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under
no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense and
certain other conditions are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Securities unless (i) such
Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii)

  

 -6- 

 
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders
have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and
(v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60 day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee,
however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any
action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
  

	16.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 

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

	17.	No Recourse Against Others 

  
 A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
  

	18.	Authentication 

  
 This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the other side of this Security. 
  

	19.	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 rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 
  

 -7- 

	20.	Governing Law 

  
 THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 
  

	21.	CUSIP and ISIN Numbers 

  
 The Company has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Securities and have directed the Trustee to use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
placed thereon, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
  
 The Company will furnish to any Holder of Securities upon written request and without charge to the Holder a copy of the Indenture which has in it the
text of this Security.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL SECURITY] 
  
 9.75% Senior Note due 2013 
  

	1.	Interest 

  
 (a) HAWAIIAN TELCOM COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this
Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. Interest on the Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from May 2, 2005 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30 day months. 
  
 (b) Additional Interest. The Holder of this Security is entitled to
the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 2, 2005, among the Company and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this paragraph (b) but not defined
herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Agreement. As more fully set forth therein, the Registration Agreement provides that in the event that the Exchange Offer is not completed or, if required by the terms of the Registration
Agreement, the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 365th day following the Acquisition, the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period and
will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until the Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required thereby, is declared effective by the SEC or the Securities
become freely tradable under the Securities Act; provided, however, that in no event will such additional interest exceed 1.00%. If the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective and thereafter either ceases to be
effective or the Prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable at any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 60 consecutive days or more than 90 days (whether or not
consecutive) in any 12-month period, then the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by 1.00% per annum commencing on the 61st or 91st day in such 12-month period and ending on such date that the Shelf Registration
Statement has again been declared effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable; provided that, in no event will additional interest together with additional interest from the previous sentence, if any, exceed 1.00%. All accrued additional
interest shall be paid to Holders in the same manner as interest payments on the Securities on semi-annual payment dates which correspond to interest payment dates for the Securities. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of
additional interest shall cease. The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of the amount of any such additional interest. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

  
 The Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the
April 15 or October 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect 

 
principal payments. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, additional interest, if any, and interest in money of the United States of America that
at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, additional interest, if any, and interest) shall be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium, if any,
interest and additional interest, if any), at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest or additional interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof;
provided, however, that payments on the Securities may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank
in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or
such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 
  

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

  
 Initially, U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company
may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. Either the Company or any of the Company’s domestically organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
  

	4.	Indenture 

  
 The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of May 2, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The
terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the
“TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Holders (as defined in the Indenture) are
referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions. 
  
 The Securities are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. This Security is one of the [Original] [Additional] Securities referred to in the Indenture. The Securities include the Original Securities, the
Additional Securities and any Exchange Securities issued in exchange for Initial Securities pursuant to the Indenture. The Original Securities, the Additional Securities and any Exchange Securities are treated as a single class of securities under
the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur
Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make asset sales. The
Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor to 

  

 -2- 

 
consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its property. 
  
 To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal, interest and
additional interest, if any, on the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the
terms of the Securities and the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantors have, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 
  

	5.	Optional Redemption 

  
 Except as set forth in the following paragraphs, the Securities will not be redeemable at the option of the Company. The Securities may be redeemed, in
whole part or in part, at any time prior to May 1, 2009 at the option of the Company upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to
100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including additional 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 the relevant interest payment date). Any such redemption will be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. 
  
 “Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Security at any redemption date, the excess of (A) the present
value at such time of (1) the redemption price of such Security at May 1, 2009 (such redemption price being described below) plus (2) all required remaining interest payments due on such Security through May 1, 2009, computed
using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such Security. 
  
 “Treasury Rate” means the yield to maturity at the time of computation 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 or similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to May 1, 2009; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption date to May 1, 2009 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 May 1, 2009 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. 
  
 After May 1,
2009, the Company may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest
(including additional interest, if any) thereon to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest (including additional interest, if any) due on the relevant 

  

 -3- 

 
interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on May 1 of the years set forth below: 
  

				
	 Year

	  	Redemption Price

	 
	 2009
	  	104.875	%
	 2010
	  	102.438	%
	 2011 and thereafter
	  	100.000	%

  
 In addition, prior to
May 1, 2008 the Company may redeem up to a maximum of 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Qualified
Equity Offerings (i) by the Company or (ii) by Parent to the extent the Net Cash Proceeds thereof are contributed to the Company or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company from the Company, at a
redemption price equal to 109.75% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record
date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated giving
effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) remains outstanding. Any such redemption shall be made within 90 days of such Qualified Equity Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice mailed to each Holder of Securities being
redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. 
  

	6.	Sinking Fund 

  
 The Securities are not subject to any sinking fund. 
  

	7.	Notice of Redemption 

  
 Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities
to be redeemed at his or her registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest and
additional interest, if any, on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date
interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
  

	8.	Repurchase of Securities at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Dispositions 

  
 Upon a Change of Control, any Holder of Securities will have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the
Indenture, to cause the Company to purchase all or any part of the Securities of such Holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if
any, to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record 

  

 -4- 

 
date to receive interest due and additional interest, if any, on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of purchase) as provided
in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 
  
 In accordance
with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to purchase Securities upon the occurrence of certain events. 
  

	9.	[RESERVED] 

  

	10.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

  
 The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange
Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer
or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Securities to be redeemed. 
  

	11.	Persons Deemed Owners 

  
 Except as provided in paragraph 2 hereof, the registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 
  

	12.	Unclaimed Money 

  
 If money for the payment of principal or interest or additional interest, if any, remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall
pay the money back to the Company at their written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors and the Trustee
and the Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 
  

	13.	Discharge and Defeasance 

  
 Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all their obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the
Company deposit with the Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars and/or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, and interest and additional interest, if any, on, the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

  

	14.	Amendment, Waiver 

  
 Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended without prior notice to any Holder but
with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities and (ii)

  

 -5- 

 
any default may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities. Subject to
certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;
(ii) to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; provided, however, that the uncertificated Securities are issued in
registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such that the uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; (iv) to add Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Securities;
(v) to secure the Securities; (vi) to add additional covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company; (vii) to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain
the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (viii) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or (ix) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Securities or Additional Securities, which shall have
terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities (except that the transfer restrictions contained in the Initial Securities shall be modified or eliminated, as appropriate), and which shall be treated, together with
any outstanding Initial Securities, as a single issue of securities. 
  

	15.	Defaults and Remedies 

  
 If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company) and
is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of either of the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Securities shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee
or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences. 
  
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under
no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense and
certain other conditions are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Securities unless (i) such
Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy,
(iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of
security or indemnity and (v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60 day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities 

  

 -6- 

 
are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or
power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the
Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

  

	16.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 

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

	17.	No Recourse Against Others 

  
 A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
  

	18.	Authentication 

  
 This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the other side of this Security. 
  

	19.	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 rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 
  

	20.	Governing Law 

  
 THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 
  

 -7- 

	21.	CUSIP and ISIN Numbers 

  
 The Company have caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Securities and have directed the Trustee to use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
placed thereon, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
  
 The Company will furnish to any Holder of Securities upon written request and without charge to the Holder a copy of the Indenture which has in it the
text of this Security.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF EXCHANGE SECURITY] 
  
 9.75% Senior Note due 2013 
  

	1.	Interest. 

  
 HAWAIIAN TELCOM COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security
at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. Interest on the Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or,
if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from May 2, 2005 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30 day months. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

  
 The Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the
April 15 or October 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal
payments. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented
by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary. The Company will make all payments
in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest), at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of
each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Securities may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by
the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant
due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 
  

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

  
 Initially, U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company
may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The Company or any of the Company’s domestically organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
  

	4.	Indenture 

  
 The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of May 2, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The
terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the 

 
“TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to
all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Holders (as defined in the Indenture) are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions. 
  
 The Securities are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. This Security is one of the [Original] [Additional]
Securities referred to in the Indenture. The Securities include the Original Securities, the Additional Securities and any Exchange Securities issued in exchange for Initial Securities pursuant to the Indenture. The Original Securities, the
Additional Securities and any Exchange Securities are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make
certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or
permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make asset sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or
convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its property. 
  
 To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal, interest and additional interest, if any, on the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due
and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantors have, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior
basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 
  

	5.	Optional Redemption 

  
 Except as set forth in the following paragraphs, the Securities will not be redeemable at the option of the Company. The Securities may be redeemed, in
whole part or in part, at any time prior to May 1, 2009 at the option of the Company upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to
100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including additional 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 the relevant interest payment date). Any such redemption will be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. 
  
 “Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Security at any redemption date, the excess of (A) the present
value at such time of (1) the redemption price of such Security at May 1, 2009 (such redemption price being described below) plus (2) all required remaining interest payments due on such Security through May 1, 2009, computed
using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such Security. 
  
 “Treasury Rate” means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as
compiled and published in the most recent 

  

 -2- 

 
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 or similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to May 1, 2009; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption
date to May 1, 2009 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 May 1, 2009 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. 
  
 After May 1, 2009, the Company may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) thereon to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest (including additional interest, if
any) due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on May 1 of the years set forth below: 
  

				
	 Year

	  	Redemption Price

	 
	 2009
	  	104.875	%
	 2010
	  	102.438	%
	 2011 and thereafter
	  	100.000	%

  
 In addition, prior to
May 1, 2008 the Company may redeem up to a maximum of 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Qualified
Equity Offerings (i) by the Company or (ii) by Parent to the extent the Net Cash Proceeds thereof are contributed to the Company or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company from the Company, at a
redemption price equal to 109.75% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record
date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated giving
effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) remains outstanding. Any such redemption shall be made within 90 days of such Qualified Equity Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice mailed to each Holder of Securities being
redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. 
  

	6.	Sinking Fund 

  
 The Securities are not subject to any sinking fund. 
  

 -3- 

	7.	Notice of Redemption 

  
 Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities
to be redeemed at his or her registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest and
additional interest, if any, on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date
interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
  

	8.	Repurchase of Securities at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Dispositions  

  
 Upon a Change of Control, any Holder of Securities will have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the
Indenture, to cause the Company to purchase all or any part of the Securities of such Holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if
any, to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest and additional interest, if any, due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of
purchase) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 
  
 In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to purchase Securities upon the occurrence of certain events. 
  

	9.	[RESERVED] 

  

	10.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

  
 The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange
Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer
or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. 
  

	11.	Persons Deemed Owners 

  
 Except as provided in paragraph 2 hereof, the registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 
  

 -4- 

	12.	Unclaimed Money 

  
 If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the
Company at their written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall
have no further liability with respect to such monies. 
  

	13.	Discharge and Defeasance 

  
 Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all their obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the
Company deposits with the Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars and/or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. 
  

	14.	Amendment, Waiver 

  
 Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended without prior notice to any Holder but
with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities and (ii) any default may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Securities. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities (i) to cure any ambiguity,
omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; provided, however, that the
uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such that the uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; (iv) to add Subsidiary
Guarantees with respect to the Securities; (v) to secure the Securities; (vi) to add additional covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company; (vii) to comply with the requirements
of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (viii) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or (ix) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Securities
or Additional Securities, which shall have terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities (except that the transfer restrictions contained in the Initial Securities shall be modified or eliminated, as appropriate),
and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding Initial Securities, as a single issue of securities. 
  

	15.	Defaults and Remedies 

  
 If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company) and
is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of either of the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Securities shall become 

  

 -5- 

 
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences. 
  
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at
the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions are complied with. Except to enforce the right to
receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Securities unless (i) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default
is continuing, (ii) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against
any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60 day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities are given the right
to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law
or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to
indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
  

	16.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 

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

	17.	No Recourse Against Others 

  
 A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
  

 -6- 

	18.	Authentication 

  
 This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the other side of this Security. 
  

	19.	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 rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 
  

	20.	Governing Law 

  
 THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 
  

	21.	CUSIP and ISIN Numbers 

  
 The Company has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Securities and have directed the Trustee to use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
placed thereon, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
  
 The Company will furnish to any Holder of Securities upon written request and without charge to the Holder a copy of the Indenture which has in it the
text of this Security.
