 The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Base Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms
and conditions of the Transaction entered into between Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), through its agent Barclays Capital Inc. (the “Agent”), and CVS Caremark Corporation (“Counterparty”) on
the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below. As used herein and in the Agreement, the term
“Confirmation” shall refer (i) prior to delivery of a Confirmation Pricing Supplement that complies with the requirements set forth in the Base Confirmation, to the Base Confirmation and (ii) following such delivery, to
the Base Confirmation as supplemented by such Confirmation Pricing Supplement. Barclays Bank PLC is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). Barclays is regulated by the Financial Services
Authority. 
 The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity
Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation
shall govern. For purposes of the Equity Definitions, the Transaction shall be deemed to be a Share Forward Transaction. 
 Each party is hereby
advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to
which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below. 
 1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement
between Barclays and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to, an agreement in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement (the
“Agreement”) as if Barclays and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (without any Schedule and with such other elections set forth in this Confirmation) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between
provisions of the 

 
Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction. The parties hereby agree that no Transaction other than the Transaction to which this
Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Agreement.

respect to the Transaction (such date, the “Hedge Period End Date”). On the first Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Hedge Period End Date, Barclays shall provide written notice (the “Confirmation Pricing
Supplement”) to Counterparty in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, of the Hedging Price, Maximum Shares, Minimum Shares and first day of the Trading Period. Upon receipt of the Confirmation Pricing Supplement, Counterparty
shall promptly execute and return the Confirmation Pricing Supplement to Barclays; provided that Counterparty’s failure to so execute and return the Confirmation Pricing Supplement shall not affect the binding nature of the Confirmation
Pricing Supplement, and the terms set forth therein, if accurately determined pursuant to the terms of this Confirmation, shall be binding on Counterparty to the same extent, and with the same force and effect, as if Counterparty had executed a
written version of the Confirmation Pricing Supplement.
		
	 Hedging Price:
	  	The volume weighted average of the 10b-18 VWAPs for all Scheduled Trading Days on which Barclays establishes its initial Hedge Position in respect of the Transaction during
the

			
		  	Initial Hedge Period, where the daily weight for the calculation of such volume weighted average is equal to the quotient of (i) the number of Shares with respect to which Barclays
establishes its initial Hedge Position in respect of the Transaction on such day divided by (ii) the total number of Shares with respect to which Barclays establishes its initial Hedge Position in respect of the Transaction during the Initial
Hedge Period.
		
	 Exchange:
	  	The New York Stock Exchange
		
	 Related Exchange(s):
	  	All Exchanges.
		
	 Calculation Agent:
	  	Barclays. Following any determination, adjustment or calculation by the Calculation Agent hereunder, upon a written request by Counterparty, the Calculation Agent will provide to
Counterparty a report displaying in reasonable detail the basis for such determination, adjustment or calculation, as the case may be.
		
	Valuation:	  	
		
	 Trading Period:
	  	The period of consecutive Scheduled Trading Days from and including the first Scheduled Trading Day following the Hedge Period End Date to and including the Maximum Maturity Date,
as specified in Schedule A; provided that, Barclays may designate any Scheduled Trading Day on or after the Minimum Maturity Date and prior to the Maximum Maturity Date, as specified in Schedule A, as the last Scheduled Trading Day of the
Trading Period. Barclays shall notify Counterparty of any designation made pursuant to this provision on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following such designated day.
		
	 Market Disruption Event:
	  	 Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by deleting the words “at any time during the one hour period that ends
at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be” and replacing them with the words “at any time during the regular trading session on the Exchange, without
regard to after hours or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours”, by amending and restating clause (a)(iii) thereof in its entirety to read as follows: “(iii) an Early Closure that the Calculation Agent determines
(in a commercially reasonable manner) is material” and by adding the words “or (iv) a Regulatory Disruption” after clause (a)(iii) as restated above.
  

Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing
Time” in the fourth line thereof.

			
	 Regulatory Disruption:
	  	A “Regulatory Disruption” shall occur if the Calculation Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that it is appropriate in light of legal, regulatory or
self-regulatory requirements or related policies or procedures for Barclays to refrain from all or any part of the market activity in which it would otherwise engage in connection with the Transaction. Barclays shall notify Counterparty as soon as
practicable that a Regulatory Disruption has occurred and the Scheduled Trading Days affected by it.
		
	 Disrupted Day:
	  	The definition of “Disrupted Day” in Section 6.4 of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by adding the following sentence after the first sentence: “A Scheduled
Trading Day on which a Related Exchange fails to open during its regular trading session will not be a Disrupted Day if the Calculation Agent determines (in a commercially reasonable manner) that such failure will not have a material impact on
Barclays’s ability to unwind any hedging transactions related to the Transaction”.
		
	 Consequence of Disrupted Days:
	  	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, to the extent that a Disrupted Day occurs during the Initial Hedge Period, the Trading Period, any Cash
Settlement Pricing Period or any Early Termination Settlement Pricing Period, the Calculation Agent may postpone the Hedge Period End Date, the Maximum Maturity Date and the Minimum Maturity Date, the end of the Cash Settlement Pricing Period or the
end of such Early Termination Settlement Pricing Period, as applicable. If any Disrupted Day occurs during the Initial Hedge Period, the Trading Period or any Cash Settlement Pricing Period, the Calculation Agent shall determine whether (i) such
Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day in whole, in which case the 10b-18 VWAP for such Disrupted Day shall not be included for purposes of determining the Hedging Price, if such Disrupted Day occurs during the Initial Hedge Period, or the Forward Price,
if such Disrupted Day occurs during the Trading Period, or the Cash Settlement Price, if such Disrupted Day occurs during a Cash Settlement Pricing Period, or (ii) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the 10b-18 VWAP for
such Disrupted Day shall be determined by the Calculation Agent based on Rule 10b-18 eligible transactions in the Shares on such Disrupted Day taking into account the nature and duration of the relevant Market Disruption Event, and the Hedging
Price, if such Disrupted Date occurs during the Initial Hedge Period, or the Forward Price, if such Disrupted Date occurs during the Trading Period, or the Cash Settlement Price, if such Disrupted Day occurs during a Cash Settlement Pricing Period,
shall be determined by the Calculation Agent using an appropriately weighted average of 10b-18 VWAPs instead of an arithmetic average.

	  	Scheduled Closing Time (determined without regard to extended trading hours or after hours trading).
		
	 Valuation Date:
	  	The last Scheduled Trading Day of the Trading Period.

			
	Settlement Terms:

	  	Not Applicable; provided that if the Number of Shares to be Delivered is a negative number, Counterparty may elect Physical Settlement in lieu of Cash Settlement by written

	 10b-18 VWAP:
	  	(A) For any Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day, the volume-weighted average price at which the Shares trade as reported in the composite transactions for all United
States securities exchanges on which such Shares are traded (or, if applicable, the successor Exchange), excluding (i) trades that do not settle regular way, (ii) opening (regular way) reported trades in the consolidated system on such Scheduled
Trading Day, (iii) trades that occur in the last ten minutes before the scheduled close of trading on the Exchange on such Scheduled Trading Day and ten minutes before the scheduled close of the primary trading in the market where the trade is

		  	a commercially reasonable manner by the Calculation Agent as the 10b-18 VWAP pursuant to “Consequence of Disrupted Days” above. Counterparty acknowledges that the
Calculation Agent may refer to the Bloomberg Page “CVS <Equity> AQR SEC” (or any successor thereto) for any Scheduled Trading Day to determine the 10b-18 VWAP.

declaration or payment of any dividend, distribution or issuance to holders of the Shares” at the end thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Calculation Agent shall not make any adjustments to account for changes in cost of funding, expected
dividends or stock loan rate in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event.

	 	(g)	Counterparty is not as of the Trade Date, and shall not be immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, “insolvent” (as such term

with the laws of the jurisdiction of Counterparty’s incorporation or organization; 

  

	 	(h)	the Transaction, and any repurchase of the Shares by Counterparty in connection with the Transaction, is pursuant to a publicly announced Share repurchase program that

its financial statements and notes thereto; 

  

	 	(i)	Counterparty understands, agrees and acknowledges that Barclays has no obligation or intention to register the Transaction under the Securities Act, any state

	 	(j)	each of Counterparty’s required filings under all applicable securities laws have been filed and on the Trade Date, all reports and other documents filed by
Counterparty with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act when considered as a whole (with the more recent such reports and documents deemed to amend inconsistent statements contained in any earlier such reports and
documents), do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading;

	5.	Other Provisions: 

  

	 	(a)	[Reserved]. 

  

	 	(b)	Rule 10b-18. 

  

	 	(i)	 During the Initial Hedge Period, any Cash Settlement Pricing Period or any Early Termination Settlement Pricing Period, Barclays agrees to use
(A) best efforts to make all 

	 	
purchases of Shares in a manner that would comply with the limitations set forth in clauses (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(4) and (c) of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(“Rule 10b-18”) and (B) commercially reasonable efforts to make all purchases of Shares in a manner that would comply with the limitations set forth in clause (b)(3) of Rule 10b-18, in each case as if such rule was applicable
to such purchases. 

  

	 	(ii)	Except as disclosed to Barclays in writing prior to the Trade Date, Counterparty represents and warrants to Barclays that it has not made any purchases of blocks by or
for itself or any of its Affiliated Purchasers pursuant to the one block purchase per week exception in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) under the Exchange Act during each of the four calendar weeks preceding such date (“Rule 10b-18 purchase,”
“blocks” and “Affiliated Purchaser” each as defined in Rule 10b-18). 

  

	 	(iii)	Counterparty agrees that it (A) will not, during the Initial Hedge Period, the Trading Period, any Cash Settlement Pricing Period or any Early Termination
Settlement Pricing Period, make, or permit to be made (to the extent within Counterparty’s control), any public announcement (as defined in Rule 165(f) under the Securities Act) of any Merger Transaction or potential Merger Transaction unless
such public announcement is made prior to the opening or after the close of the regular trading session on the Exchange for the Shares; (B) shall promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the
Exchange) notify Barclays following any such announcement that such announcement has been made; and (C) shall promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange) provide Barclays with written
notice specifying (i) Counterparty’s average daily Rule 10b-18 Purchases (as defined in Rule 10b-18) during the three full calendar months immediately preceding the announcement date that were not effected through Barclays or its
affiliates and (ii) the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the proviso in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) under the Exchange Act for the three full calendar months preceding the announcement date. Such written notice shall be deemed to be a certification
by Counterparty to Barclays that such information is true and correct. In addition, Counterparty shall promptly notify Barclays of the earlier to occur of the completion of such transaction and the completion of the vote by target shareholders.
“Merger Transaction” means any merger, acquisition or similar transaction involving a recapitalization as contemplated by Rule 10b-18(a)(13)(iv) under the Exchange Act (other than any such transaction in which the consideration
consists solely of cash and there is no valuation period). 

  

	 	(c)	Rule 10b5-1. It is the intent of the parties that the Transaction comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) of the Exchange Act (“Rule
10b5-1”), and the parties agree that this Confirmation shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c), and neither party shall take any action that results in the Transaction not so complying with such requirements.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that (A) Counterparty does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether Barclays effects any purchases in
connection with the Transaction, (B) during the Initial Hedge Period, the Trading Period, any Cash Settlement Pricing Period and any Early Termination Settlement Pricing Period, neither Counterparty nor its officers or employees shall, directly
or indirectly, communicate any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares to any employee of Barclays or its affiliates who is directly involved with the hedging of and trading with respect to the Transaction,
(C) Counterparty is entering into the Transaction in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with federal securities laws including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and (D) Counterparty will not alter or deviate
from this Confirmation or enter into or alter a corresponding hedging transaction with respect to the Shares. Counterparty also acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Confirmation must be effected in
accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good
faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5 and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which Counterparty or any officer or director of Counterparty is aware of any material
non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares. 

	 	(d)	Company Purchases. Without Barclays’ consent, during the Initial Hedge Period, the Trading Period, any Cash Settlement Pricing Period and any Early
Termination Settlement Pricing Period, Counterparty shall not, and shall not cause any Affiliate Purchaser to, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument) purchase, offer to
purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository
share), other than purchases (i) pursuant to the Issuer Stock Repurchase and 10b5-1 Trading Plan dated June 7, 2011 between Counterparty and Barclays Capital Inc. or (ii) that are not solicited by or on behalf of Counterparty, its
affiliates or Affiliated Purchasers. 

  

	 	(e)	Regulation M. Counterparty is not on the date hereof, engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act, of any securities
of Counterparty, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Counterparty shall not, until the end of the trading period, engage in any
such distribution without prior notice to Barclays (a “Distribution Notice”). Counterparty acknowledges that delivery of a Distribution Notice could result in the occurrence of a Regulatory Disruption, and the parties agree that any
such occurrence shall be treated as a Potential Adjustment Event hereunder. 

  

	 	(f)	Additional Termination Event. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, an “Additional Termination Event” shall occur and Counterparty shall be the
sole Affected Party pursuant to such Additional Termination Event if on any day occurring after the Trade Date and on or prior to the last Scheduled Trading Day in the Trading Period Counterparty declares a distribution, issue or dividend to
existing holders of the Shares with an ex-dividend date on or prior to the Valuation Date of (i) cash, other than a Regular Dividend, (ii) securities or share capital of another issuer acquired or owned (directly or indirectly) by
Counterparty as a result of a spin-off or other similar transaction or (iii) any other type of securities (other than Shares), rights or warrants or other assets, in any case for payment (cash or other consideration) at less than the prevailing
market price as determined by the Calculation Agent (any dividend, distribution or issuance described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, an “Extraordinary Dividend”). 

 

	 	(g)	Physical Settlement by Counterparty. If Physical Settlement applies, Counterparty shall deliver either (i) a number of Registered Shares equal to the
product of (A) the absolute value of the Number of Shares to be Delivered, multiplied by (B) 100.5%, OR (ii) a number of Restricted Shares equal to the product of (A) the absolute value of the Number of Shares to be
Delivered, multiplied by (B) 102%. “Registered Shares” shall mean Shares that satisfy the conditions for Registered Shares set forth in Section 5(i) below. “Restricted Shares” shall mean Shares that
are not Registered Shares. 

  

	 	(h)	Cash Settlement by Counterparty. If Cash Settlement applies, Counterparty shall pay to Barclays on the Cash Settlement Date an amount in cash equal to the Cash
Settlement Amount. “Cash Settlement Date” shall mean the date one Settlement Cycle immediately following the last Exchange Business Day during the Cash Settlement Pricing Period. “Cash Settlement Amount” shall mean
the product of (i) the absolute value of the Number of Shares to be Delivered, multiplied by (ii) the arithmetic average of the 10b-18 VWAPs for all Scheduled Trading Days in the Cash Settlement Pricing Period (the “Cash
Settlement Price”). “Cash Settlement Pricing Period” shall mean the period commencing on the third Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the last Scheduled Trading Day of the Trading Period and ending on an Exchange
Business Day selected by the Calculation Agent and notified to the parties prior to the beginning of the Cash Settlement Pricing Period. 

  

	 	(i)	 Share Delivery Conditions. If Physical Settlement applies, Counterparty may deliver Registered Shares in respect of its settlement obligations
only if the following conditions have been satisfied (the “Registration Provisions”): (i) a registration statement (“Registration Statement”) (which

	 	
may be a shelf registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) covering public resale by Barclays (or an affiliate thereof) of any Shares delivered by Counterparty to
Barclays under such Physical Settlement by Counterparty (“Settlement Shares”) shall have been filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) no later than one Scheduled
Trading Day prior to the Settlement Date and such Registration Statement continues to be in effect at all times to and including the date that Barclays or its affiliate(s) has fully and finally sold any Settlement Shares hereunder, (ii) the
contents of such Registration Statement and of any prospectus supplement to the prospectus included therein (including, without limitation, any sections describing the plan of distribution) shall be reasonably satisfactory to Barclays,
(iii) Barclays shall have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for transactions pursuant to which Barclays (or an affiliate thereof) acts as an
underwriter of equity securities of similar size by similar issuers and the results of such investigation are reasonably satisfactory to Barclays and (iv) as of the Settlement Date, an agreement between Barclays and Counterparty of reasonable
underwriting terms customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities of similar size by similar issuers, including but not limited to indemnification and contribution and due diligence (the “Underwriting Agreement”) shall have been
entered into with Barclays in connection with the public resale of the Settlement Shares by Barclays (or an affiliate thereof); provided that such Underwriting Agreement shall not provide for any underwriting discount, commission or fee or any
selling concessions. If Physical Settlement applies and Counterparty delivers Restricted Shares in respect of its settlement obligation, Barclays acknowledges that transfer of such Restricted Shares will be restricted under applicable securities
laws. 

  

	 	(j)	Transfer or Assignment. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Barclays may, subject to applicable law, freely transfer and assign all
of its rights and obligations under the Transaction without the consent of Counterparty to any affiliate of Barclays whose obligations hereunder are guaranteed by Barclays; provided that Barclays may not assign its rights and obligations
under the Transaction if such assignment would result in (i) Counterparty being required to pay the assignee an amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than the amount in respect of which
Counterparty would have been required to pay to Barclays in the absence of such assignment or (ii) Counterparty receiving a payment from which an amount has been withheld or deducted, on account of a Tax under Section 2(d)(i) of the
Agreement in excess of that which Counterparty would have been required to so withhold or deduct in the absence of such assignment, unless the assignee would be required to make additional payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the
Agreement corresponding to such withholding or deduction. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Barclays to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Barclays may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares
or other securities and otherwise to perform Barclays’ obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Barclays shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty only to the extent of any such
performance. 
  

	 	(k)	 Role of Agent. Each of Barclays and Counterparty acknowledges to and agrees with the other party hereto and to and with the Agent that
(i) the Agent is acting as agent for Barclays under the Transaction pursuant to instructions from such party, (ii) the Agent is not a principal or party to the Transaction, and may transfer its rights and obligations with respect to the
Transaction, (iii) the Agent shall have no responsibility, obligation or liability, by way of issuance, guaranty, endorsement or otherwise in any manner with respect to the performance of either party under the Transaction, (iv) Barclays
and the Agent have not given, and Counterparty is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon, any statements, opinions or representations (whether written or oral) of Barclays or the Agent, other than the
representations expressly set forth in this Confirmation or the Agreement, and (v) each party agrees to proceed solely against the other party, and not the Agent, to collect or recover any money or securities owed to it in connection with the
Transaction. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the 

	 	
Agent is an intended third party beneficiary hereunder. Counterparty acknowledges that the Agent is an affiliate of Barclays. Whenever delivery of funds or other assets is required hereunder by
or to Counterparty, such delivery shall be effected through Agent. In addition, all notices, demands and communications of any kind relating to the Transaction between Barclays and Counterparty shall be transmitted exclusively through Agent.
Barclays acknowledges and agrees that any delivery by Counterparty to Agent of any money, Shares or other assets or any notice, demand or communication with respect to the Transaction shall be effective for all purposes hereunder and under the
Agreement as if such money, Shares, assets, notice, demand or communication had been delivered to Barclays on the date of the delivery thereof to Agent. 

  

	 	(l)	Regulatory Provisions. The time of dealing for the Transaction will be confirmed by Barclays upon written request by Counterparty. The Agent will furnish to
Counterparty upon written request a statement as to the source and amount of any remuneration received or to be received by the Agent in connection with a Transaction. 

 

	 	(m)	Netting and Setoff. Obligations under the Transaction shall not be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against
any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and no other obligations of the parties shall be netted, recouped
or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against obligations under the Transaction, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or
otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of setoff, netting or recoupment. 

  

	 	(n)	Staggered Settlement. Barclays may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver
any Shares deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date on two or more dates (each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows: (i) in such notice, Barclays will specify to
Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver under the applicable settlement method above
among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Barclays will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that
Barclays would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date. 

  

	 	(o)	 Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If Barclays owes Counterparty or if
Counterparty owes Barclays any amount in connection with the Transaction (i) pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or “Announcement Event” above (except in the case of an Extraordinary Event in
which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of Shares as a result of such event consists solely of cash) or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty
is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default or Termination Event that resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control) (a “Payment
Obligation”), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy or to require Barclays to satisfy, as the case may be, any such Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by giving
irrevocable telephonic notice to Barclays, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than noon New York time on the Early Termination Date or other date the Transaction is cancelled or terminated, as applicable (“Notice
of Barclays/Counterparty Termination Delivery”). If the Payment Obligation is to be satisfied by delivery of Termination Delivery Units pursuant to the preceding sentence, within one Exchange Business Day following receipt of a Notice of
Barclays/Counterparty Termination Delivery, Barclays shall deliver to Counterparty or the Counterparty shall deliver to Barclays, as the case may be, a number of Termination Delivery Units having a fair market value equal to the amount of such
Payment Obligation (such number of Termination Delivery Units to be delivered to be determined by the Calculation Agent as the number of whole Termination Delivery Units that could be (A) purchased (I) over a commercially reasonable period
of time and (II) if the 

	 	
Termination Delivery Units are Shares, in compliance with Rule 10b-18, with the cash equivalent of such Payment Obligation, or (B) sold over a commercially reasonable period of time to
generate proceeds equal to the cash equivalent of such Payment Obligation, as the case may be (either such period, the “Early Termination Settlement Pricing Period”)). By 9:00 a.m. New York time on the first Scheduled Trading Day
following receipt of a Notice of Barclays/Counterparty Termination Delivery, Barclays shall notify Counterparty in writing of the length of the Early Termination Settlement Pricing Period. If the Payment Obligation is to be satisfied by delivery of
Termination Delivery Units pursuant to this Section 5(o), (x) Physical Settlement as set forth herein shall apply, with the number of Termination Delivery Units to be delivered, determined as described above, being deemed to be the Number
of Shares to be Delivered for purposes of such Physical Settlement, (y) the Early Termination Settlement Date shall be a “Settlement Date” within the meaning of Section 9.4 of the Equity Definitions, and (z) the provisions
of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable to the delivery of Termination Delivery Units under this Section, except that all references herein and therein to
“Shares” shall be read as references to “Termination Delivery Units.” “Termination Delivery Units” means in the case of a Termination Event, Event of Default or Delisting, one Share or, in the case of
Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of
fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event; provided that if such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by
holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash; provided further that in calculating any Payment Obligation in connection with a Termination Event, any distribution, issue or dividend,
including any Extraordinary Dividend, paid in respect of the Termination Delivery Units shall not be considered a loss recoverable by Barclays. Counterparty agrees to furnish Barclays with written notice at least 30 days prior to the ex-dividend
dates corresponding to such foregoing distributions, issues and dividends, other than a Regular Dividend. For the avoidance of doubt, any Share delivered in satisfaction of the Counterparty’s Payment Obligation as described in this
Section 5(o) may be either a Registered Share or a Restricted Share as provided in Section 5(g) and 5(i) above. 

  

	 	(p)	No Material Non-Public Information. On the Trade Date, Counterparty represents and warrants to Barclays that it is not aware of any material non-public
information concerning itself or the Shares. “Material” information for these purposes is any information to which an investor would reasonably attach importance in reaching a decision to buy, sell or hold Shares.

  

	 	(q)	Maximum Number of Shares. The aggregate number of Shares that may be delivered by Counterparty pursuant to this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions or the
Agreement in respect of the Transaction will be limited to the lesser of (i) the total Shares authorized but not outstanding, reduced by the total amount of contingently issuable Shares and (ii) 58,072,009 Shares. Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, if the number of Shares to be issued at settlement by Counterparty exceeds the limit in clause (i) of the preceding sentence, Counterparty will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary
approvals to issue additional Shares to enable it to satisfy all obligations hereunder, and if such approvals are obtained, shall satisfy any obligations not satisfied as a result of the immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt,
Counterparty shall not be required to satisfy in cash such Share delivery obligation if Counterparty is unable to obtain such necessary approvals. 

  

	 	(r)	Tax Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Equity Definitions or in the Agreement, and notwithstanding any express or implied claims
of exclusivity or proprietary rights, the parties (and each of their employees, representatives or other agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all persons, beginning immediately upon commencement of their discussions and without limitation
of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided by either party to the other relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

	 	(s)	Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Barclays acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Barclays rights with respect to the
Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of Counterparty in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Barclays’ right to pursue remedies in the
event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction at any time other than during U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 5(s) shall limit or
shall be deemed to limit Barclays’ rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction. 

  

	 	(t)	No Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement, Equity Definitions or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary,
the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction are not secured by any collateral. 

  

	 	(u)	Securities Contract. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Barclays is one or more of a “financial institution” and “financial
participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is a “securities contract,” as such term is defined in
Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a “termination value,” “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the
meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “settlement payment” or a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code and (B) that Barclays is entitled to the protections afforded by,
among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

  

	 	(v)	Payments on Early Termination. Barclays and Counterparty agree that for the Transaction, the definition of Close-out Amount in the Agreement shall be amended by
(i) deleting the second sentence of the paragraph immediately following clause (iii) thereof and (ii) replacing the words “(or any gain resulting from any of them)” with the words “and shall, in calculating any
Close-out Amount, consider any gain resulting from its terminating, liquidating or re-establishing any hedge related to a Termination Transaction or group of Termination Transactions” in the second paragraph following clause (iii) thereof.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Payment Obligation determined upon Early Termination shall not include the economic effect of any dividends or distributions, including any Extraordinary Dividends, declared or paid by the Counterparty since the Trade
Date. 

  

	 	(w)	Agreement Regarding Calculations and Settlement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, the Definitions or the Agreement to the
contrary, in calculating any adjustment pursuant to Article 11 of the Equity Definitions or any amount payable pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall not take into account
changes to costs of funding, stock loan rates or any distribution, issue or dividends declared since the Trade Date. 

 For the avoidance of doubt, following payment by Counterparty of the relevant Prepayment Amount, the Additional Payment and the Transaction Fee nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as
requiring Counterparty to deliver cash in respect of the settlement of the Transaction or in respect of any Payment Obligation owed by Counterparty (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a
Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default or a Termination Event that resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control). 

 

	 	(x)	Governing Law. The law of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of
another jurisdiction). 

  

	 	(y)	 Binding Contract. (i) This Base Confirmation, as supplemented by the Confirmation Pricing Supplement, is a “qualified financial
contract”, as such term is defined in Section 5-701(b)(2) of the General Obligations Law of New York (the “General Obligations Law”); (ii) the Confirmation Pricing Supplement constitutes a “confirmation in
writing sufficient to indicate that a contract has been made between the parties” hereto, as set forth in Section 5-701(b)(3)(b) of the General Obligations Law; and (iii) this Base Confirmation constitutes a prior “written
contract” as 

	 	
set forth in Section 5-701(b)(1)(b) of the General Obligations Law, and each party hereto intends and agrees to be bound by this Base Confirmation, as supplemented by the Confirmation
Pricing Supplement. Barclays and Counterparty further agree and acknowledge that this Base Confirmation, as supplemented by the Confirmation Pricing Supplement, constitutes a contract “for the sale or purchase of a security”, as set forth
in Section 8-113 of the Uniform Commercial Code of New York. 

  

	 	(z)	Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS PROVIDED
HEREIN.

 INDENTURE dated as of March 3, 2011 among PLATINUM ENERGY SOLUTIONS, INC., a Nevada
corporation (“PES”), the Guarantors (as defined herein) and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., as Trustee and Collateral Agent. 
 PES, the Guarantors and the Trustee agree as follows for the benefit of each other and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders (as hereinafter defined) of PES’s 14.250% Senior Secured Notes

 ARTICLE 1 
 DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION 
 BY REFERENCE

 “144A Global Note” means a Global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto bearing the Global Note Legend, the OID Legend and the Private Placement Legend and deposited
with or on behalf of, and registered in the name of, the Depositary or its nominee that will be issued in a denomination equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A. 

“Acquired Debt” means, with respect to any specified Person: 

(1) Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is merged with or into or became a Restricted
Subsidiary of such specified Person, whether or not such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of, such specified Person; and 

(2) Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person. 

“Additional Interest” means all Additional Interest then owing pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

 “Additional Notes” means additional Notes (other than the Initial Notes) issued under this Indenture in
accordance with Sections 2.02 and 4.09 hereof, as part of the same series as the Initial Notes. 

“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition, “control,” as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of
the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise; provided that beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the Voting Stock of a Person will be deemed to be control. For
purposes of this definition, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with” have correlative meanings. 

 “Agent” means any Registrar, co-registrar, Paying Agent or additional
paying agent. 
 “Applicable Premium” means, as determined by PES, with respect to any Note on any redemption
date, the greater of: 
 (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of the Note; or 

(2) the excess of: 
 (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of the Note at March 1, 2013 (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing in Section 3.07) plus
(ii) all required interest payments due on the Note through March 1, 2013 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such redemption date plus 50 basis
points; over 
 (b) the principal amount of the Note. 

“Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer or exchange of or for beneficial interests in any Global
Note, the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream that apply to such transfer or exchange. 

“Asset Sale” means: 
 (1) the sale, lease (other than operating leases entered into in the ordinary course of business), conveyance or other disposition of any assets or rights; provided, that the sale, lease, conveyance or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of PES and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be governed by Section 4.15 and Section 5.01 and not by Section 4.10; and 

(2) the issuance of Equity Interests in any of PES’s Restricted Subsidiaries or the sale of Equity Interests in any
of its Subsidiaries. 
 Notwithstanding the preceding, none of the following items will be deemed to be an Asset Sale:

 (1) any single transaction or series of related transactions that involves assets having a Fair Market Value
of less than $1.0 million; 
 (2) a transfer of assets between or among PES and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 (3) an issuance or sale of Equity Interests by a Restricted Subsidiary of PES to PES or to a Restricted
Subsidiary of PES; 
 (4) the sale or lease of products, inventory, equipment, real property, services or
accounts receivable or the licensing or lease, assignment or sub-lease of any real or personal property in the ordinary course of business and any sale or other disposition of 

  
 2

 (5) the sale or other disposition of cash or Cash Equivalents; 

(6) a Restricted Payment that does not violate Section 4.07 or is a Permitted Investment; 

(7) the granting of Permitted Liens; and 

(8) the surrender or waiver of contract rights or settlement, release or surrender of contract, tort or other claims.

 “Asset Sale Offer” has the meaning assigned to that term in Section 4.10. 

“Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. 

“Beneficial Owner” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except
that in calculating the beneficial ownership of any particular “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), such “person” will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such
“person” has the right to acquire by conversion or exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition (other than a right conditioned on the
occurrence of events or circumstances outside such person’s control). The terms “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially Owned” have a corresponding meaning. 

“Board of Directors” means: 
 (1) with respect to a corporation, the Board of Directors of the corporation or, except with respect to the definition of “Change of Control”, any committee thereof duly authorized to act on
behalf of such board; 
 (2) with respect to a partnership, the Board of Directors of the general partner of the
partnership; 
 (3) with respect to a limited liability company, the managing member or members or any
controlling committee of managing members thereof; and 
 (4) with respect to any other Person, the board or
committee of such Person serving a similar function. 
 “Board Resolution” means a copy of a resolution
certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the applicable Person to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors of such Person and to be in full force and effect on the date of such certification, and delivered to the Trustee.

reflected as additions to property, plant or equipment on the balance sheet of such Person. 
 “Capital
Expenditures” means, for any period, without duplication, all expenditures made directly or indirectly by PES and its Restricted Subsidiaries during such period for the acquisition of Capital Assets (whether paid in cash or other
consideration, financed by the incurrence of Indebtedness or accrued as a liability), but excluding expenditures made in connection with the replacement, substitution or restoration of property or other purposes (except repayment of Indebtedness)
permitted under Section 4.10. For purposes of this definition, the purchase price of equipment or other fixed assets that are purchased simultaneously with the trade-in of existing assets or with insurance proceeds shall be included in
Capital Expenditures only to the extent of the gross amount by which such purchase price exceeds the credit granted by the seller of such assets for the assets being traded in at such time or the amount of such insurance proceeds, as the case may
be. 
 “Capital Lease Obligation” means, at the time any determination is to be made, the amount of the
liability in respect of a capital lease that would at that time be required to be capitalized on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the Stated Maturity thereof shall be the date of the last payment of rent or any other amount due
under such lease prior to the first date upon which such lease may be prepaid by the lessee without payment of a penalty. 

“Capital Stock” means:

THE NOTES AND UNITS 
 Section
2.01 Form and Dating. 
 (a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A-1 hereto; provided, that the form of the Exchange Notes shall include such variations as are permitted or required by the Registration Rights Agreement (as evidenced by PES’s execution of such Exchange Notes). The Notes
may be issued in definitive or global forms hereunder. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations
of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or the Notes any pro rata redemptions or repurchases of the Notes by PES pursuant to this Indenture shall be made in a manner that
preserves the authorized denominations of the Notes. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are
hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and PES, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of
any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

  
 30 

 The form of Unit is attached as Exhibit A-2, and the terms and provisions of such are made a
part hereof. 
 (b) Global and Definitive Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit
A-1 hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto (but without
the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide
that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate,
to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the
direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof. 
 (c) Temporary Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S will be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note, which will be deposited on behalf of
the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, at its New York office, as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on
behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by PES and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Restricted Period will be terminated upon the receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate from PES. 

Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note will be exchanged for
beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee will cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global Note.
The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee,
as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided. 
 Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures
Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer
Handbook” of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream. 

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. 
 At least one Officer of PES must sign the Notes for PES by manual or facsimile signature. 

  
 31 

 If an Officer of PES whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a
Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver: (i) on the date of this Indenture, an aggregate principal amount of $115 million of
Notes, (ii) any Additional Notes in accordance with Section 4.09 hereof, which shall constitute a distinct issuance of Notes but be considered the same class and shall be in the same form as the Initial Notes and which are not
limited in principal amount except as otherwise provided in Section 4.09, and (iii) Exchange Notes for issue only in an Exchange Offer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, for a like principal amount of Notes, in each case upon
receipt of a written order of PES signed by two Officers (an “Authentication Order”). Such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of the Notes is to be
authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by PES pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in
Section 2.07 hereof. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to PES to authenticate Notes. An
authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with
Holders or an Affiliate of PES. 
 Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

PES will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. PES may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. PES may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice
to any Holder. PES will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If PES fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. PES or any of
its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 PES initially appoints The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 
 PES initially appoints the Trustee to act as
the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 
 Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in
Trust. 
 PES will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in
trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the 

  
 32 

 
Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by PES in making any such payment. While
any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. PES at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent
(if other than PES or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If PES or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.
Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to PES, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.05
Holder Lists. 
 The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list
available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, PES will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each regular record date and
at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and PES shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

 Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. 
 (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary
or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by PES for Definitive Notes if: 

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

(2) PES in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for
Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; provided that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Note be exchanged by PES for Definitive Notes prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted
Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act; or 
 (3) upon the request of the Depositary after there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. 

Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the
Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof,
pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Sections 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another

  
 33 

 
Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b),
(c) or (f) hereof. 
 (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The
transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes will be
subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or
(2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable: 
 (1)

be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person. Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global
Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1). 

(2) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and
exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either:

 (ii) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or 

(B) both: 
 (i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in

contained in the Letter of Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in
this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(h) hereof. 

(3) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted
Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(2) above and the Registrar

A Holder of Unrestricted Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note. Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the

 (f) Exchange Offer. Upon the
occurrence of the Exchange Offer in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, PES will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee will authenticate: 

(1) one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial

Broker-Dealers, they will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes, (B) they are not participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes and (C) they are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the

Concurrently with the issuance of such Notes, the Trustee will cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global

 43 

 
Holders of Definitive Notes so accepted Unrestricted Definitive Notes in the designated principal amount.

 (5) Additional Legends. Definitive Notes issued to

 (h) Cancellation and/or
Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such
Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a
Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on
such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

 (i) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, PES will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes
and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 

  
 46 

 (2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a
Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but PES may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

(3) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (4) All Global Notes and
Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of PES, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or
Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (5) Neither the Registrar nor PES
will be required: 
 (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning
at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; 

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or 
 (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a
record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 (6) Prior to due presentment for the registration
of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and PES may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for
all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or PES shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (7)
The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof. 
 (8) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be
submitted by facsimile. 
 (j) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Participants or Beneficial Owners of interests in any Global
Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, 

  
 47 

 
and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

 (k) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depository.

 Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. 
 If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or PES and the Trustee receives evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, PES will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if PES’s and the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or PES, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the
Trustee and PES to protect PES, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. PES may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of PES and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. 

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it
for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09
hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because PES or an Affiliate of PES holds the Note. 
 If a Note is replaced
pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and
interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than PES, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on
a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by PES or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with PES or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying
on any such 

  
 48 

 
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 
 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. 
 Until certificates representing Notes are
ready for delivery, PES may prepare and execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that PES
considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, PES will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 

PES shall cause definitive Notes to be prepared and authenticated without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of the definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchanged for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of PES, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of one or more temporary Notes, PES shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefore a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

 Section 2.11 Cancellation. 
 PES at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or
payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act
and the Trustee). Certification of the cancellation of all canceled Notes will be delivered to PES upon written request. PES may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. To
the extent that any Notes are held in the form of Global Notes and less than all of such Global Notes are to be cancelled, the reduction of the principal amount of any such Global Note and the Registrar’s notation of such cancellation on its
books and records shall be deemed to satisfy any cancellation requirement, provided that certification of such cancellation shall be delivered to PES upon written request. 
 Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. 
 If PES defaults in a payment of interest
on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in
the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. PES will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. PES will fix or cause to be fixed each such special
record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, PES (or, upon the written request
of PES, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of PES) will mail or cause to be 

  
 49 

 
mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. 
 PES in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, ISIN
or other such numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP, ISIN or other such numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is
made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not
be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. PES shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other numbers. 
 Section 2.14 Restricted Units. 
 (a) The Notes and the Warrants shall
initially be issued as Units, each Unit being in global form substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 and bearing the Restricted Units Legend set forth below (“Restricted Units Legend”), and shall not be separately transferable
until the Separation Date. Until the Separation Date, the certificates representing the Units shall bear the following legend: 

The securities represented by this certificate constitute a portion of one or more Units, each Unit consisting of $1,000 of principal
amount of 14.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 of the Company and one Warrant to purchase common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, subject to adjustment. The aggregate number of shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon
exercise of the warrants shall represent 15% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis as of the consummation of the sale of the units and the Concurrent Equity Offering. Until the Separation Date, the
securities represented by this certificate may be transferred only together as a Unit. Following the Separation Date, the securities represented by this certificate may be transferred without reference to the foregoing restriction. 

(b) Until the Separation Date, the Registrar shall not register any transfer of a Note that constitutes part of a Unit unless the
Registrar receives satisfactory evidence that the Warrant comprising the corresponding part of such Unit is being simultaneously transferred to the same transferee. On the Separation Date, separation of the Units is mandatory and the Units will
cease to be eligible for transfer or exchange. Following the Separation Date, any Note that constitutes part of a Unit may be transferred separately from the Warrant comprising the corresponding part of such Unit, and the Registrar shall be
authorized to register such transfer without regard to the foregoing restriction.

 ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 
 Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee. 

If PES elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the
Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth: 
 (1) the CUSIP number; 
 (2) the clause of this Indenture pursuant
to which the redemption shall occur; 
 (3) the redemption date; 

(4) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; 

(5) the redemption price; and 
 (6) the Notes to be redeemed, if a partial redemption. 
 Section 3.02 Selection and Notice.

 If less than all of the Notes or Other Pari Passu Obligations are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes
for redemption on a pro rata basis or by lot or similar method (and in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the procedures of DTC), unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements; provided, that no
Notes of $2,000 or less shall be purchased or redeemed in part. 
 A new Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased or
unredeemed portion of the original Note purchased or redeemed in part will be issued in the name of the Holder of Notes upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the
redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. 
 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

 Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption
date, PES will mail or cause to be mailed by first class mail (or transmitted otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption
notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 hereof. 

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

  
 51 

 (1) the CUSIP number; 

(2) the redemption date; 
 (3) the redemption price; 
 (4) if any Note is being redeemed in
part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the
original Note; 
 (5) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(6) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 

(7) that, unless PES defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue
on and after the redemption date; 
 (8) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to
which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (9) that no representation is made as to the
correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 At PES’s request,
the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in PES’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that PES has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days (or such shorter periods as the Trustee shall agree) prior to the redemption
date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph and stating that all conditions precedent to the giving of such
notice have been complied with. 
 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably
due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional; provided, however, that a notice of redemption upon any Equity Offering or in connection with a transaction (or series of transactions)
that constitute a Change of Control may, at PES’s option and discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the Equity Offering or Change of Control as the case may be. 

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 
 One Business Day prior to the redemption or purchase date, PES will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to PES any money deposited 

  
 52 

 
with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by PES in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Notes to
be redeemed or purchased. 
 If PES complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or
purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then
any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase
because of the failure of PES to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid
principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 
 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased
in Part. 
 Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, PES will issue and, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of PES a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. 
 Section 3.07 Optional Redemption. 
 (a) Except as described below, the
Notes will not be redeemable at PES’s option prior to March 1, 2013. On or after March 1, 2013, PES may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by first class mail, postage

percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the periods set forth below, subject
to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date:

	  	 	107.125	% 
	 On or after March 1, 2014 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 Unless PES defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other
Indenture Document to the contrary, at any time prior to March 1, 2013, PES may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price equal to 114.250% of the
aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and 

  
 53 

 
Additional Interest, if any, thereon, to but not including the redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest
Payment Date that occurs on or prior to the redemption date), with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings of PES, provided that:

 (c) In addition, at any time prior to March 1, 2013, PES may also redeem all or a part of the Notes,
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address (or transmitted otherwise in accordance with applicable procedures of DTC), with a copy to the Trustee, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders of
Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 
 (d) The Trustee shall select

 Section 4.01 Payment of Notes. 

PES will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes on the

Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by PES in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. PES will pay all Additional Interest, if any, in the same manner on
the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 PES will pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest
in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
 PES will maintain in the
Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where
notices and demands to or upon PES in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. PES will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time PES fails to
maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

PES may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or
all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve PES of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the
City of New York for such purposes. PES will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

All notices to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be sent to the Corporate Trust Office at the address set forth in
Section 13.02 hereof, however, in addition, PES hereby designates a corporate trust office of the Trustee located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, NY 10286, Attn: Corporate Trust Administration as one such office or agency in the Borough

 Section 4.03 Reports. 
 Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, PES will furnish to the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, and make available on a publicly available
website, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations: 
 (1) all quarterly and
annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if PES were required to file such reports; and 
 (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if PES were required to file such reports. 
 Upon request by PES, the Trustee shall transmit such reports to the Holders (or DTC, as long as the Notes are held in global form). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such reports shall be required to comply with sections 302, 906, and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 and Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, in each case, until such time as PES shall have consummated an Exchange Offer or filed a Shelf Registration Statement in respect of the Notes. 

All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such
reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on PES’s consolidated financial statements by PES’s independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, following the consummation of the Exchange Offer contemplated by
the Registration Rights Agreement, PES will file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such
reports (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and will post the reports on its website within those time periods. 

If, at any time following the consummation of the Exchange Offer contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, PES is no longer
subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, PES will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4.03 with the SEC within the time periods
specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. PES will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept PES’s filings for any
reason, PES will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website within the time periods that would apply if PES were required to file those reports with the SEC. 

PES will hold a quarterly conference call for the Holders of the Notes, prospective purchasers and securities analysts to discuss such
financial information no later than ten Business Days after distribution of such financial information. 
 If PES has designated
any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the
footnotes thereto, and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of PES and its Restricted

  
 58 

 
Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of PES. 
 In addition, PES agrees that, for so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, if at any time it is not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, it will furnish
to the Holders of Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

Section 4.04 Compliance Certificate. 
 (a) PES shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of PES and its Subsidiaries during the
preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether PES has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer
signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge PES has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained herein; and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action PES is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that
to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event
and what action PES is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, PES
will deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer of PES becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action PES is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto. 
 Section 4.05 Taxes; Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

(a) PES will pay, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental
levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 

(b) PES and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead,
or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and PES and each of
the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted
to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

 Section 4.06 Excess Cash Flow Offer. 

(a) Within 100 days after each Determination Date for which the Excess Cash Flow of PES and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the
applicable Excess Cash Flow Offer Determination Period exceeds $2.5 million (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer Threshold”), and to the extent permitted by its Credit Facilities, PES will make an offer in cash in an amount equal to the
Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount to purchase Notes (an “Excess Cash Flow Offer”) at an offer price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of
purchase (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment”). If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered in such Excess Cash Flow Offer exceeds the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a
pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Excess Cash Flow Offer is less than the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount, PES may use any
remaining Excess Cash Flow Amount for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. Upon completion of any such Excess Cash Flow Offer, the Excess Cash Flow Amount shall be reset at zero; provided that PES will not be deemed to be in
default under this covenant for any failure to make an Excess Cash Flow Offer or an Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment by virtue of any adjustment in the amount calculated for any Excess Cash Flow Offer Determination Period due to normal year-end
accounting adjustments or other changes concurred in by its public accountants; provided further that any such adjustment in the calculation of the Excess Cash Flow for a prior Excess Cash Flow Offer Determination Period, whether positive or
negative, shall be carried forward to the next subsequent Excess Cash Flow Offer Determination Period. 
 (b) In the event that,
pursuant to Section 4.06(a), PES is required to commence an Excess Cash Flow Offer, it will follow the procedures specified below. 
 (1) Within 100 days following each Determination Date, PES will mail a notice to each Holder and the Trustee offering to repurchase Notes as of the date specified in the notice (the “Excess Cash
Flow Offer Purchase Date”), which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. 
 (2) The Excess Cash Flow Offer shall be made to all Holders. The Excess Cash Flow Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business
Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Excess Cash Flow Offer Period, PES will apply the
Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount to the purchase of Notes or, if less than the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Excess Cash Flow Offer. 

(3) If the Excess Cash Flow Offer Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related
Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no further interest will be payable on such
Interest Payment Date to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Excess Cash Flow Offer. 

  
 60 

 (4) Upon the commencement of an Excess Cash Flow Offer, PES will send, by
first class mail (or transmit otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC), a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to
the Excess Cash Flow Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Excess Cash Flow Offer, will state:

(G) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Excess Cash Flow Offer will be required to surrender the
Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to PES, a Depositary, if appointed by PES, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at
least three days before the Excess Cash Flow Offer Purchase Date; 
 (H) that Holders will be entitled to
withdraw their election if PES, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Excess Cash Flow Offer Purchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased; 

(I) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the
unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book entry transfer), which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by PES in

thereof. 
 (6) PES will notify the Trustee and Holders of the Notes of the results of the Excess Cash Flow Offer
as soon as practicable after the Excess Cash Flow Offer Purchase Date. 
 Section 4.07 Restricted Payments. 

(a) PES will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

 unless, at
the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment: 
 (1) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment; and 
 (2) such Restricted
Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by PES and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.07(b)(2) through (7)), is less
than the sum, without duplication, of: 
 (A) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of PES for the period (taken as
one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the Issue Date to the end of PES’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted

 (B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by PES since the Issue Date as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of PES (other than

(E) 50% of any dividends received by PES or a Restricted Subsidiary of PES that is a Guarantor after the Issue Date from
an Unrestricted Subsidiary of PES, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of PES for such period. 

  
 63 

 (b) So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby,
Section 4.07(a) will not prohibit: 
 (1) the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any
irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or redemption payment would have complied with the
provisions of this Indenture; 
 (2) the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash
proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of PES) of, Equity Interests of PES (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution of common equity capital to PES; provided, that
the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from clause (2)(b) of the preceding paragraph; 
 (3) the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of PES or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to the Notes or to any Note Guarantee

(8) a payment of a sponsor fee to Layton Corporation equal to 1% of the proceeds of the offering, not to exceed $1.8

 provided, however, that if a Liquidity Event has not occurred on or before the date that is 18 months following the
Issue Date, neither PES nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall pay dividends or consummate any irrevocable redemption to holders of any class or series of Capital Stock of PES from such date until the date a Liquidity Event occurs. 

(c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the
asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by PES or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the 

  
 64 

 
Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 4.07 will be determined by the Board of Directors of PES whose
resolution with respect thereto will be delivered to the Trustee. The Board of Directors’ determination must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the Fair

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to PES or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(b) The restrictions in Section 4.08(a) will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements, provided, that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings
are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Issue Date (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors); 

(2) the Indenture Documents; 
 (3) applicable law, rule, regulation or order; 
 (4) any instrument
governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by PES or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred or issued in connection with

 (8) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing
such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being extended, renewed, refunded, refinanced, defeased or discharged (as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of PES); 
 (9) Liens permitted to be incurred under the provisions of
Section 4.12 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; 

(10) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property or equity interests in joint venture

limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements; 
 (11) restrictions on
cash, Cash Equivalents or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or lessors under contracts or leases entered into in the ordinary course of business; and 

(12) any instrument governing Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary; provided, that such Indebtedness was permitted by the
terms of this Indenture to be incurred. 
 Section 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. 

(a) PES will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and PES will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Disqualified Stock or shares of preferred stock. 
 (b) The provisions of
Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 

  
 66 

 (1) the incurrence by PES and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit under Credit Facilities being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum
potential liability of PES and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed $15.0 million, less the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by PES or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date to repay any
term Indebtedness under a Credit Facility classified under this clause (1) or to repay any revolving credit Indebtedness under such Credit Facility and effect a corresponding commitment reduction thereunder pursuant to Section 4.10;

 (2) the incurrence by PES and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Note
Guarantees to be issued on the Issue Date and the exchange of Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (other than any Additional Notes); 

(3) the incurrence by PES and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness
described in clauses (1) and (2)); 
 (4) the incurrence by PES or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or
improvement of property (real or personal), plant or equipment used in the business of PES or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund,
refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed $5.0 million at any time outstanding; 
 (5) the incurrence by PES or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease
or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(b)(2),(3), (4), (5) or (7); 

(6) the incurrence by PES or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among PES and any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that: 
 (a) if PES or any Guarantor is the obligor on such
Indebtedness and the payee is not PES or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of PES, or the Note Guarantee, in the case
of a Guarantor; and 
 (b) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such
Indebtedness being held by a Person other than PES or a Restricted 

  
 67 

 
Subsidiary of PES and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either PES or a Restricted Subsidiary of PES 

will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by PES or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be,
that was not permitted by this clause (6); 
 (7) on or after September 1, 2011, the incurrence by PES or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness not to exceed $35 million in aggregate principal amount; provided that such Indebtedness is used by PES or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries solely for the purpose of acquiring equipment;

 (8) the incurrence by PES or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations (excluding Hedging
Obligations entered into for speculative purposes) in the ordinary course of business solely for the purpose of limiting: 
 (a) interest rate risk with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09; 

(b) exchange rate risk with respect to any currency exchange; 

(c) commodity risk; or 
 (d) any combination of the foregoing; 
 (9) (a) the Guarantee by
PES or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of PES so long as the incurrence of such Indebtedness incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of this Indenture; or 

(b) the Guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of PES of Indebtedness of PES or another Restricted Subsidiary so long as the
incurrence of such Indebtedness incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of this Indenture; 

provided, in each case, that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the Note
Guarantee shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed; 
 (10) the incurrence by PES or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation, general liability or truckers’ liability claims, payment obligations in
connection with health or other types of social security benefits, unemployment or other insurance or self-insurance obligations, insurance premium finance agreements, statutory obligations, bankers’ acceptances and performance, appeal or
surety bonds in the ordinary course of business; 
 (11) the incurrence by PES or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five Business
Days; and 

  
 68 

 (12) the incurrence of Indebtedness consisting of indemnification,
adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, other than Indebtedness or guarantees
of Indebtedness incurred or assumed by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition. 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described
in clauses (1) through (12) above, PES will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this
Section 4.09. The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as
Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, 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 4.09; provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment (without duplication) is included in Fixed Charges of PES as accrued. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that PES or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or
currency values. 
 (d) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be: 

(1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

 (2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and 

(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

 (a) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and 

(b) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person. 

(e) PES will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of PES or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms;
provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of PES solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien
basis. 

  
 69 

 Section 4.10 Asset Sales. 
 (a) PES will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause, make or suffer to exist an Asset Sale (it being understood that sales of all or substantially all of the assets of PES
and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be governed by Section 5.01) unless: 
 (1) PES (or the
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

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

(A) any liabilities, as shown on PES’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of PES or any Restricted Subsidiary
(other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases PES or such
Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and 
 (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by
PES or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are within 60 days, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by PES or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the cash received in that
conversion; and 
 (C) any stock or assets of the kind referred to in Section 4.10(b)(2) or
(4). 
 (b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, PES (or the applicable Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds: 
 (1) to repay Indebtedness and other Obligations
under a Credit Facility or the Morgan Stanley Facility and to the extent such Indebtedness is in the form of a revolving facility, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 

(2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after
giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of PES; 
 (3) to make a capital expenditure; or 
 (4) to acquire other assets
that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business. 

  
 70 

 (c) Any stock or assets deemed to be cash pursuant to Section 4.10(a)(2)(C) are
deemed acquired with Net Proceeds equal to the deemed cash amount. Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, PES may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by
this Indenture. 
 (d) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in
Section 4.10(b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, PES will, within 30 days thereof, make one or more Asset Sale Offers to the Holders of the Notes (and, at the
option of PES, the holders of Other Pari Passu Obligations) to purchase Notes (and Other Pari Passu Obligations) pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained in this Indenture (each, an “Asset Sale Offer”), that are $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any,
to, but not including, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09, of this Indenture. PES will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within 30 days
after the date that Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million by mailing (or transmitting otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC), the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. To the extent that the
aggregate amount of Notes and such Other Pari Passu Obligations tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, PES may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the
aggregate principal amount of Notes or the Other Pari Passu Obligations surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and such Other Pari Passu Obligations will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on
the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Other Pari Passu Obligations tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 

(e) PES will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder
to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of
this Indenture, PES will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 

Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates. 
 (a) PES will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets
to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any arms-length transaction, or series of related transactions, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of
PES (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 
 (1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are
not less favorable to PES or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors 

  
 71 

 
of PES) than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by PES or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and 

(2) PES delivers to the Trustee: 
 (A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of PES set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.11 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors
of PES; and 
 (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions
involving aggregate consideration in excess of $15.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to PES or such Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of
national standing. 
 (b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be
subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof: 
 (1) any employment, service, termination, or
consulting agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by PES or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;

 (2) transactions between or among PES and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of PES) that is an Affiliate of PES solely because
PES owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person; 
 (4)
the payment of reasonable directors’ fees, the payments of other reasonable benefits and the provision of officers’ and directors’ indemnification and insurance to the extent permitted by law to persons who are officers and directors
of PES and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case in the ordinary course of business and approved by the Board of Directors; 
 (5) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of PES to Affiliates of PES; 
 (6) Restricted Payments that do not violate Section 4.07; 

(7) transactions effected pursuant to agreements in effect on the Issue Date and described in the Offering Circular and
any amendment, modification or replacement of such agreement (so long as such amendment or replacement is not less favorable to PES, any Restricted Subsidiary or the Holders, taken as a whole, than the original

  
 72 

 
agreement as in effect on the Issue Date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of PES); 
 (8) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $1.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding; and 

(9) purchases of the Units by Affiliates of PES. 
 Section 4.12 Liens. 
 PES will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens. 
 Section 4.13 Business Activities. 
 PES will not, and will not permit any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to PES and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 

Section 4.14 Corporate Existence. 
 Subject to Article 5 hereof, PES shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect: 

(1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance
with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of PES or any such Subsidiary; and 
 (2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of PES and its Subsidiaries; 

provided, however, that PES shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other
existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if PES shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of PES and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material
respect to the Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 4.15 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require PES to offer to repurchase all or any part (equal
to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101%
of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, PES will mail 

  
 73 

 
such Change of Control Offer by first class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance
with the procedures of DTC, with the following information: 
 (1) a Change of Control Offer is being made
pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment; 
 (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 

(3) any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest; 

(4) unless PES defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on, but not including, the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(5) Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the
Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third
Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (6) Holders will be entitled to withdraw their
tendered Notes and their election to require PES to purchase such Notes; provided, that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the last day of the offer period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting
forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased; 

(7) if such notice is mailed prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating the Change of Control Offer is
conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and 
 (8) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased
only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

(b) While the Notes are in global form and PES makes an offer to purchase all or any portion of the Notes pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer, a Holder may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of the Notes through the facilities of DTC, subject to its rules and regulations. 
 (c) PES will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations

  
 74 

 
are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.15, PES will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue of
such compliance. 
 (d) On the Change of Control Payment Date, PES will, to the extent permitted by law: 

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or
portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by PES. 
 (e) The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered and so accepted the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or
cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered by each such Holder, if any; provided, that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or
an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Note so accepted for payment will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date. PES will notify the Trustee and Holders of the Notes of the results of the Change of
Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (f) The provisions described above that
require PES to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. Except as described in this Section 4.15 with respect to a Change of
Control, the Holders of the Notes may not require PES to repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction. 
 (g) PES will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if (1) 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 this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by PES and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been
given pursuant to Section 3.07 unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control,
conditional upon such Change of Control. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change in Control Offer may
be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of the making of the Change of Control Offer. 

  
 75 

 (i) The provisions under this Indenture relative to PES’s obligation to make an offer
to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes. 
 Section 4.16 Additional Note Guarantees. 
 If PES or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary after the Issue Date, then PES will (1) cause that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary to (a) execute a supplemental Indenture pursuant to which it becomes a Guarantor
and (b) execute an amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which it becomes subject to the obligations of a Guarantor thereunder, (2) cause the newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the
Trustee and the Collateral Agent amendments to the Security Documents or additional Security Documents and take such other action as may be necessary to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holders, a perfected Lien in the assets
other than Excluded Assets of such Domestic Subsidiary, including the filing of UCC financing statements in such jurisdiction or such other actions as may be required by the Security Documents, (3) cause that newly acquired or created Domestic
Subsidiary to take such actions necessary or as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines to be advisable to grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders a perfected Lien in the assets other than Excluded Assets of such new Domestic
Subsidiary, including the filing of UCC financing statements in such jurisdiction as may be required by the Security Documents or by law or as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, (4) cause that newly acquired or created
Domestic Subsidiary to take such further action and execute and deliver such other documents reasonably requested by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to effectuate the foregoing, and (5) deliver an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the
foregoing reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, in each case, within 30 Business Days of the date on which the Domestic Subsidiary was acquired or created. 
 Section 4.17 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
 The
Board of Directors of PES may designate any Subsidiary (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary or Person that becomes a Subsidiary through merger or consolidation or Investment therein) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that
designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by PES and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 or under one or more clauses of the definition of
Permitted Investments, as determined by PES. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of
Directors of PES may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default. 
 Any designation of a Subsidiary of PES as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to
such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation 

  
 76 

 
complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of PES as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is
not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09, PES will be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of PES may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of PES; provided, that
such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of PES of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is
permitted under Section 4.09 calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following
such designation. 
 Section 4.18 Impairment of Security Interest 

Subject to an Intercreditor Agreement, neither PES nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will take or omit to take any action which
would adversely affect or impair in any material respect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral, except as otherwise permitted or required by the Security Documents or this Indenture. Neither PES nor any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries will enter into any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person, other than the First Lien
Obligations and any other Obligations which are secured by a Permitted Lien that is senior to the Lien securing the Second Lien Obligations, the Notes and the Security Documents, unless such agreement permits PES or such Restricted Subsidiary to
first repay, or offer to repay, First Lien Obligations and the Notes. PES shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, at its sole cost and expense, execute and deliver all such agreements and instruments as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall
reasonably request to more fully or accurately describe the property intended to be Collateral or the obligations intended to be secured by the Security Documents. PES shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, at its sole cost and expense, file any
such notice filings or other agreements or instruments as may be reasonably necessary or desirable under applicable law to perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents at such times and at such places as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee
may reasonably request. 
 Section 4.19 Post-Closing 
 Certain security interests in the Collateral may not be in place on the Issue Date or may not be perfected on the Issue Date. PES and the Guarantors will use their respective commercially reasonable
efforts to perfect on the Issue Date the security interests in the Collateral for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and the First Lien Obligations, if any, that are created on the Issue Date but, to the extent any such security interest or
liens are not perfected by such date, PES and the Guarantors will agree to do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required, including obtaining any required consents from third parties, to have all security interests in the
Collateral duly created and enforceable and perfected, in each case solely to the extent required by the Security Documents, promptly following the Issue Date, but in any event no later than the date 90 days thereafter. In addition, the Security
Documents may 

  
 77 

 
not require that all Collateral be perfected if such Collateral cannot be perfected by the filing of UCC financing statements or the recording of mortgages or deeds of trust. 

Section 4.20 Further Assurances 
 PES and the Guarantors shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under applicable law, or that the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the Security Documents in the Collateral. In addition, from time to
time, PES will reasonably promptly secure the Obligations under this Indenture and the Security Documents by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected security interests with respect to the Collateral. PES shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent all such instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to evidence compliance with this Section 4.20. 
 Section 4.21 Real Estate Mortgages and Filings 
 With respect to any real
property other than Excluded Real Property (individually and collectively, the “Premises”) owned by PES or a Domestic Subsidiary (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries) on the Issue Date and with respect to any such property to be acquired
by PES or a Domestic Subsidiary (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries) after the Issue Date (within 90 days of the acquisition thereof): 
 (1) PES shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, as mortgagee, fully executed counterparts of Mortgages, duly executed by PES or the applicable Domestic Subsidiary, together with evidence of the completion
(or satisfactory arrangements for the completion) of all recordings and filings of such Mortgage as may be necessary to create a valid, perfected Lien, subject to Permitted Liens, against the properties purported to be covered thereby; 

(2) PES shall deliver to the Collateral Agent mortgagee’s title insurance policies in favor of the Collateral Agent,
as mortgagee for the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders in an amount equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Premises purported to be covered by the related Mortgage, insuring that title to such property is
marketable and that the interests created by the Mortgage constitute valid Liens thereon free and clear of all Liens, defects and encumbrances other than Permitted Liens together with customary endorsements, coinsurance and reinsurance typical for
the applicable jurisdiction; 
 (3) PES shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, to the extent provided to any
First Lien Agent, with respect to each of the covered Premises, the most recent survey of such Premises prepared on or on behalf of PES, together with either (i) an updated survey certification in favor of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent
from the applicable surveyor stating that, based on a visual inspection of the property and the knowledge of the surveyor, there has been no change in the facts depicted in the survey or (ii) an affidavit

  
 78 

 
from PES stating that there has been no change sufficient for the title insurance company to remove all standard survey exceptions and issue the customary endorsements; and 

(4) PES shall deliver an opinion(s) of counsel of PES confirming that the Mortgages and Security Documents create a Lien
on the Premises purported to be covered by the related Mortgage, which shall be from local counsel in each state where a Premises is located covering the enforceability of the relevant Mortgages; 

in each case, using commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the foregoing by the Issue Date but, in any event, no later than 90 days thereafter.

 Section 4.22 Leasehold Mortgages and Filings; Landlord Waivers 

PES and each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than any Unrestricted Subsidiary) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver
Mortgages with respect to PES’s leasehold interests in any premises material to the business taken as a whole (the “Leased Premises”) (other than Excluded Real Property) occupied by PES or such Domestic Subsidiary (other than any
Unrestricted Subsidiary) pursuant to leases which may be mortgaged by their terms or the terms of the landlord consents (collectively, the “Leases,” and individually, a “Lease”) in each case using commercially reasonable efforts
to comply with the foregoing by the Issue Date but, in any event, no later than 90 days thereafter. 
 With respect to any
leasehold Mortgage delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, PES or the applicable Subsidiary shall provide to the Trustee all of the items described in Section 4.21(2), 4.21(3) and 4.21(4) above and in
addition shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an agreement executed by the lessor under the Lease, whereby the lessor consents to the Mortgage and waives or subordinates its landlord Lien (whether granted by the
instrument creating the leasehold estate or by applicable law), if any, and which shall be entered into by the Collateral Agent, subject to its reasonable satisfaction of the form thereof. 

Each of PES and each of its Domestic Subsidiaries that is a lessee of, or becomes a lessee of, real property (other than Excluded Real
Property) material to the business, is, and will be, required to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Collateral Agent a landlord waiver, in the form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent executed by the lessor of such real
property (other than Excluded Real Property); provided, that in the case where such lease is a lease in existence on the Issue Date, PES or its Domestic Subsidiary that is the lessee thereunder shall have 90 days from the Issue Date to satisfy such
requirement. 
 Section 4.23 Advances to Subsidiaries 
 All advances to Restricted Subsidiaries made by PES after the Issue Date will be evidenced by intercompany notes in favor of PES. These intercompany notes will be pledged pursuant to the Security
Documents as Collateral to secure the Notes. Each intercompany note will be payable upon demand and will be subordinated in right of payment to all existing Senior Debt of the Restricted Subsidiary to which the loan is made. “Senior Debt”
of Subsidiaries for the purposes of the intercompany notes will be defined as all Indebtedness of the Restricted 

  
 79 

 
Subsidiaries that is not specifically by its terms made pari passu with or junior to the intercompany notes. 
 PES will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of which PES is a creditor by virtue of an intercompany note to incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any
Senior Debt of such Restricted Subsidiary and senior in any respect in right of payment to any intercompany note. 
 Section 4.24
Maximum Capital Expenditures 
 PES and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not allow aggregate Capital Expenditures in any
one fiscal year (which amount shall be prorated in the case of the first fiscal year following the Issue Date) to exceed $10 million (the “Capex Limit”); provided that, to the extent the aggregate Capital Expenditures in any
one fiscal year are less than the Capex Limit, then PES and its Restricted Subsidiaries may carry forward such unused amounts to be applied in subsequent fiscal years; and provided further that (i) $113 million in anticipated expenditures for
new equipment (as set forth under “Use of Proceeds” in the Offering Circular), (ii) additional equipment purchases permitted pursuant to Section 4.09(b) (7) (iii) the acquisition of WSB or its assets as contemplated by
the Lease Purchase Agreement, and (iv) Capital Expenditures made with any Remaining Amount or the net cash proceeds of any Equity Offering shall not be counted for purposes of the Capex Limit. All Capital Expenditures shall first be
applied to reduce the carry-forward from the previous fiscal year (or portion thereof), if any, and then to reduce the applicable Capex Limit for the current year. 
 Section 4.25 Board Observer 
 (a) For so long as any Notes are
outstanding, Holders of a majority of the principal amount of Notes shall have the right to elect one board observer to the Board of Directors at their sole discretion in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.25.

 (b) Unless otherwise directed in writing by Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
voting as a single class, no later than 90 days after the Issue Date, PES will mail or cause to be mailed by first class mail (or transmitted otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC), a notice to each Holder. The notice will
(i) announce the solicitation of nominees to act as board observer on behalf of Holders and (ii) provide, in reasonable detail, an explanation of the procedures to be followed for the election of the board observer, which such explanation
shall provide, at a minimum: 
 (1) the identity, powers and responsibilities of an officer of election with
respect to the board observer; 
 (2) that Holders shall have the right to nominate candidates to the position of
board observer; 
 (3) that PES shall, at its own expense, mail to Holders reasonably detailed professional
biographical information (to the extent provide such information is provided to or available to PES) of each such nominee; 

  
 80 

 (4) that Holders shall have the right to participate in the election of the
board observer via mail, facsimile, electronic voting or other similar methodology; 
 (5) the proposed method
for communication to all Holders of the results of such election, including current contact information of the board observer. 

(c) The initial board observer designated by the Holders shall serve until such time as such person (i) resigns, (ii) is
removed by Holders of a majority of the principal amount of Notes or (iii) a new board observer is designated in writing or elected by Holders of a majority of the principal amount of Notes. In the case of a board observer’s resignation, a
new board observer shall be designated in writing or elected by Holders of a majority of the principal amount of Notes pursuant to Section 4.25(b) above. 
 (d) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for administering or facilitating such procedure, nor shall the Trustee be charge with knowledge of such election, except upon notice to the Trustee of
PES’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.25 by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class. 

(e) The board observer shall be a non-voting observer to the Board of Directors. PES will provide to the board observer, at the same time
as PES provides such materials to the directors, a copy of all notices and materials sent to the directors. The Board of Directors, by majority vote, may exclude the board observer from any meeting, or withhold any materials, if the board
observer’s access to such meeting or materials would cause PES to violate confidentiality undertakings towards a third party or to waive the attorney-client privilege. 
 Section 4.26 Officers’ Certificate 
 In connection with each
purchase of, or interim payment towards the purchase of, Core Operating Equipment in excess of $1 million, PES shall provide the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate, in the form and manner provided in this Indenture, certifying
(a) that such purchase or payment has been made, (b) the amount paid in connection therewith, and (c) (i) that, based on the reasonable belief of such Officers, the Core Operating Equipment will be delivered in accordance with
the delivery schedule and purchase price for such Core Operating Equipment as described in the Offering Circular, or if the certification described in this clause (c) cannot be made, (ii) PES will provide a reasonably detailed explanation
for any such delay in such delivery schedule or increase in such purchase price. PES shall provide Holders and holders of Units or Warrants, as applicable, with such information.

(z) PES or any of the Guarantors, directly or indirectly, contest in any manner the effectiveness, validity, binding nature or enforceability of any Security Document; 

(10) PES, any Restricted Subsidiary of PES that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of PES
that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary: 
 (A) commences a voluntary case under any

(12) Failure by PES or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for five (5) Business Days after notice to PES by the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with Section 4.26. 
 Section 6.02 Acceleration. 
 (a) In the case of an Event of Default
described in Section 6.01(10) or (11) with respect to PES, any Restricted Subsidiary of PES that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of PES that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary,
all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. 
 (b) Subject to Section 6.05 and
Section 6.06, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing
Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all the Holders of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this
Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal, interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes. 
 (c) In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of PES with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that PES
would have had to pay if PES then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of this Indenture, an equivalent premium will also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the
acceleration of the Notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior to March 1, 2013, by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of PES with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes
prior to March 1, 2013, then the premium otherwise required to be paid under Section 3.07(c) herein will also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes. 

  
 85 

 Section 6.03 Other Remedies. 

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

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all the Holders, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing
Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes) and its consequences, if the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 
 (a) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee,
except as otherwise provided in this Indenture. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that
may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 (b) Subject to this Section 6.05 and Section 6.06,
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default from Holders of the Notes if it
determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, or interest, premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes. 

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 
 Subject to the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents relating to the duties of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, neither the
Trustee nor the Collateral Agent will be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture or any Security Document at the request or direction of any Holders of Notes unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee
or the 

  
 86 

 
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, interest or premium or
Additional Interest, if any, when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 

(3) such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

 (4) 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 
 (5) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period, 
 provided, that no one or
more of such Holders will have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb, or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not
have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). 
 Section 6.07
Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any
Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for
the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of
payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to
such Lien. 
 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an
express trust against PES for the whole amount of principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

  
 87 

 Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to PES (or any
other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the
same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of
reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10 Priorities. 
 If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to
this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee and Collateral
Agent and their agents and attorneys for amounts due pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee or Collateral Agent and the costs and
expenses of collection; 
 Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for
principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any and interest,
respectively; and 
 Third: to PES or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this
Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may 

  
 88 

 
require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a
Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 
 Section 6.12 Delivery of Statements to the Trustee. 
 As provided in
Section 4.04, PES is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with this Indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, PES is required to deliver to the Trustee a statement
specifying such Default or Event of Default. 
 ARTICLE 7 

TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01 Duties
of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture, to use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as that of a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(1) the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need
perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(2) 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; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions by which any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this
paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01; 

  
 89 

 (2) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (3) the Trustee will 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 hereof. 

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to
paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01. 
 (e) No provision of this Indenture will require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holder, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee
security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 
 (f) The Trustee will not be liable for
interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with PES. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee. 
 (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated
in the document, 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 an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if the Trustee shall determine to make such
further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of PES, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of PES and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such
inquiry or investigation. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice
of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent
appointed with due care.

notice from PES will be sufficient if evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate. 
 (e) The Trustee will be under no obligation
to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders 

  
 90 

 
have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by
it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (g) In no event shall
the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 (h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of
Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice
references the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the
Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee and by the Collateral Agent in each of its capacities hereunder, under the Security Documents and under the Intercreditor
Agreement, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 
 (j) In no event shall the Trustee be
responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of
war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee
shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 
 (k) The Trustee may request that PES deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of Officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

 Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. 
 If the Trustee becomes a creditor of PES or any Guarantor, this Indenture limits the right of the Trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in
respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to
continue as Trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign. 

  
 91 

 Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it
shall not be accountable for PES’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to PES or upon PES’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by
any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its
certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes a
notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it is known to the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal, interest, premium or Additional Interest, if any, the Trustee may withhold the
notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 
 (a) If required
by the TIA, within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such
reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA
§ 313(b)(2) if required by the TIA. The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c), if required by the TIA. 
 (b) If required by the TIA, a copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes will be mailed by the Trustee to PES and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on
which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). PES will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 
 Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 
 (a) PES will pay to the Trustee
and Collateral Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. PES will
reimburse the Trustee and Collateral Agent promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation,
disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 (b) PES and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will
indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this
Indenture against PES and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and 

  
 92 

 
defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by PES, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. Each of the Trustee and Collateral Agent will notify PES promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by
the Trustee or Collateral Agent to so notify PES will not relieve PES or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. PES or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee and Collateral Agent will cooperate in the defense. Neither
PES nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 

(c) The obligations of PES and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture. 
 (d) To secure PES’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the
Trustee and Collateral Agent will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. 

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(8) or
(9) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

(f) The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 
 (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this
Section 7.08. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so
notifying PES. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and PES in writing. PES may remove the Trustee if: 

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

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

 (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, PES will promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the 

  
 93 

 
successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by
PES. 
 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the
retiring Trustee, PES, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with
Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to PES. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and
the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 7.08, PES’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 
 If the Trustee
consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation, if eligible under Section 7.10 hereof, without any further act will be the
successor Trustee. 
 Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0
million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture will always have a Trustee who
satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b). 
 Section 7.11
Preferential Collection of Claims Against PES.

 Section 7.12 Rights of Agents in Other Capacities 

The Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Registrar or any other agent of PES, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11, may otherwise deal with PES with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, authenticating agent, Paying Agent, Registrar or such
other agent 
 ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance and
Covenant Defeasance. 
 PES may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in
an Officers’ Certificate, elect either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 
 Upon PES’s exercise pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, PES and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that PES and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note
Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied
all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of PES, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following
provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (1) the rights of Holders of
outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, and interest or premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below; 

(2) PES’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and PES’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and 

(4) this Article 8. 

  
 95 

 In addition, PES may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of PES
and the Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants (including its obligation to make Change of Control Offers and Asset Sale Offers) that are described in this Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to
comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency
events described in Section 6.01(10) and (11)) will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. 

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon PES’s exercise pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, PES and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, and 4.06 through 4.26 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and
after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes
will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Guarantees, PES and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of
any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in
any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Guarantees will be
unaffected thereby. In addition, upon PES’s exercise pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(5) and 6.01(9) hereof will not constitute Events of Default. 
 Section 8.04
Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 
 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under
either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof: 
 (1) PES must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in
trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on
the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and PES must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date; 

  
 96 

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

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

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or
Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit or the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing); 
 (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture Documents) to
which PES or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which PES or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (6) PES
must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by PES with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of PES or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or
defrauding any creditors of PES or others; and 
 (7) PES must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee,

  
 97 

 
collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust
and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including PES acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

PES will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding
Notes. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to PES from time to time
upon the request of PES any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to
effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06 Repayment to PES. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by PES, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or
Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to PES on its request or (if then held by
PES) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to PES for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of
PES as Trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of PES cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall
Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining will be repaid to PES. 
 Section 8.07 Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of
any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then PES’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be
revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or
8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if PES makes any payment of principal of, 

  
 98 

 
premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, PES will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such
payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes. 
 (a) Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, PES, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture Documents without the consent of any Holder of Notes: 

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 

(3) to provide for the assumption of PES’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of Notes and Note Guarantees
in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of PES’s or such Guarantor’s assets, as applicable; 
 (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 

(5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the
TIA; 
 (6) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents, the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Notes to any provision of the Description of Notes in the Offering Circular to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Note
Guarantees, the Security Documents, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Notes; 

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

 (8) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the
Notes and to release any Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (9)
to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any of the Security Documents or any release of Collateral that becomes effective as set forth in this Indenture, the
Intercreditor Agreement or any of the Security Documents; or 

  
 99 

 (10) if necessary, in connection with any addition or release of Collateral
permitted under the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents. 
 (b) Upon the request of PES accompanied by a
resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.02 and 9.06 hereof, the Trustee will join with PES
and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will
not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 (c) In addition to the foregoing, Holders of the Notes, by the acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to agree that the Security Documents may be amended without the consent of any Holder or Notes in
circumstances set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

(a) Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees or the Security
Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender
offer or Exchange Offer for, Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or Exchange Offer for, Notes). 

(b) Upon the request of PES accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.02 and
9.06 hereof, the Trustee will join with PES and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 
 (c) It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement, waiver or consent but it is sufficient if
such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02
becomes effective, PES will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of PES to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a 

  
 100

 
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by PES or any Guarantor with any provision of the
Indenture Documents. However, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

(1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter any of the provisions with respect to the
redemption of the Notes (except with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.06, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof or with respect to the notice provisions set forth in Section 3.07 hereof); 

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note; 

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest premium or Additional Interest, if
any, or interest on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such
acceleration); 
 (5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; 

(6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of
Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes; 

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.09,
4.06, 4.10 or 4.15 hereof); 
 (8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under
its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (9) make any
change in the preceding amendment, supplement and waiver provisions of this Section 9.02(d); or 

(10) make any change in the ranking or priority of the Notes. 

(e) In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture, any Security Document or the
Intercreditor Agreement that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes or subordinating Liens securing the Notes (except as permitted by the terms of this Indenture, the Security
Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement) will require the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 

  
 101

 Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

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

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder
of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder
of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its
terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. PES in
exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 
 The Trustee will sign any
amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. PES may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture
until the Board of Directors of PES approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the
documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Section 10.01 Grant of Security Interest. 
 The due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity,
by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest and Additional Interest (to the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Notes (including, but not limited to, all interest accrued or
accruing (or which would, 

  
 102

 
absent commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding (and the effect of provisions such as Section 502(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Law), accrue) after commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding,
whether or not the claim for such interest is allowed as a claim in such Insolvency Proceeding), and performance of all other obligations of PES and the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture and the Notes, according to the
terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured by all property and assets of PES and the Guarantors that from time to time are subject to Liens securing First Lien Obligations, other than the Excluded Assets, including as provided in the Security
Documents which PES and the Guarantors have entered into simultaneously with the execution of this Indenture, in each case subject to the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by its acceptance of Notes, consents and agrees to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended, waived, supplemented or modified from time
to time in accordance with its terms and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance
therewith. PES will deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by
the provisions of the Security Documents, to assure and confirm to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so
as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Collateral Agent may open and maintain one or more accounts to hold the
Collateral and the Security Documents from time to time, it being understood that such accounts shall not in any way expand or otherwise affect the Collateral Agent’s duties under the Security Documents. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent are
hereby deemed to be authorized by the Holders to enter into the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement upon direction from PES, but without consent from the Holders. In entering into the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee and the
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an instruction from PES, together with an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate compliant with Sections 13.04 and 13.05. 

Section 10.02 Recording and Opinions. 
 (a) PES will furnish to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee on or within one month of March 1 in each year beginning with March 1, 2012, an Opinion of Counsel either: 

(1) (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, action has been taken with respect to the recording, registering,
filing, re-recording, re-registering and re-filing of all supplemental indentures, mortgages, financing statements, mortgage reinscriptions, continuation statements or other instruments of further assurance as is necessary to maintain the Lien of
the Security Documents and reciting with respect to the security interests in the Collateral the details of such action or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, and (B) stating that, in the opinion of such
counsel, based on relevant laws as in effect on the date of such Opinion of Counsel, all mortgages, mortgage reinscriptions, financing statements and continuation statements have been filed that are necessary as of such date and during the
succeeding 12 months to 

  
 103

 
fully preserve and protect, to the extent such protection and preservation are possible by filing, the rights of the Holders of Notes and the Collateral Agent and the Trustee hereunder and under
the Security Documents with respect to the security interests in the Collateral; 
 (2) stating that, in the
opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to maintain such Lien and assignment. 
 (b) PES will otherwise comply with
the provisions of TIA §314(b). 
 Section 10.03 Release of Collateral. 

(a) Subject to subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 10.03, Collateral may be released from the Lien and
security interest created by the Security Documents in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents and under the following circumstances: 
 (1) if any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor is released from its Guarantee pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, that Subsidiary’s assets will also be released from the Liens securing the Notes;

 (2) pursuant to Section 9.02 hereof, with consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding
Notes; 
 (3) if required in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement; 

(4) if such Collateral becomes Excluded Assets; 

(5) if the First Priority Lien on such Collateral is released, other than a release following a discharge of First Lien
Obligations; 
 (6) if PES exercises its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option pursuant to
Sections 8.01, 8.02 and 8.03 hereof; 
 (7) upon satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or payment in full of the principal of, and premium and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes and all other Obligations that are then due and payable pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof. 

(b) In addition, upon the request of PES pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate certifying that all conditions precedent hereunder
have been met and stating whether or not such release is in connection with a sale or disposition of assets and (at the sole cost and expense of PES) the Collateral Agent will release Collateral that is sold, conveyed or disposed of in compliance
with the provisions of this Indenture; provided that if such sale, conveyance or disposition constitutes an Asset Sale, such Asset Sale complies with the requirements of Section 4.10 hereof. 

(c) PES shall determine the applicability of TIA 314(d) to any such release, and if PES determines that TIA 314(d) is not applicable it
shall include a statement to this effect in the Officers’ Certificate to be provided under clause (d). Any certificate or opinion required by TIA § 314(d) may be made by an Officer of PES except in cases where TIA § 314(d)
requires that 

  
 104

 
such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person will be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected or approved by PES in the exercise of reasonable
care. If PES determines that TIA 314(d) is not applicable to the release of Collateral, then PES need not deliver the documents that would otherwise be required under TIA 314(d); provided however, that in no event is this intended to derogate the
right of the Trustee and Collateral Agent to request and obtain an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent in the Indenture Documents to such release have been complied with whenever the Trustee and/or
Collateral Agent is asked to execute or acknowledge a release of Collateral. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, at any time the Trustee or Collateral Agent is requested to acknowledge or execute a release of Collateral, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate
that all conditions precedent in the Indenture Documents to such release have been complied with. The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, accept as conclusive evidence of compliance with the foregoing
provisions the appropriate statements contained in such documents and such Opinion of Counsel. Upon receipt of such documents the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge any instruments of termination, satisfaction or release
reasonably requested of it to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents. 
 Section 10.04 [Reserved] 
 Section 10.05 Authorization of Actions to Be Taken by the
Trustee Under the Security Documents. 
 Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, the
Trustee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders of Notes, direct, on behalf of the Holders of Notes, the Collateral Agent to, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to: 

(1) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents; and 

(2) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations of PES hereunder. 

The Trustee will have power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of
the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of
Notes in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise
invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of Notes or of the Trustee). 

  
 105

 Section 10.06 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Security Documents.

 The Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders of Notes distributed under the Security
Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders of Notes according to the provisions of this Indenture. 
 Section
10.07 Termination of Security Interest. 
 Upon the payment in full of all Obligations of PES under this Indenture and
the Notes, or upon Legal Defeasance, the Trustee will, at the request of PES, deliver a certificate to the Collateral Agent stating that such Obligations have been paid in full, and instruct the Collateral Agent to release the Liens pursuant to this
Indenture and the Security Documents. 
 Section 10.08 Trustee’s Duties with Respect to Collateral 

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession
or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or
continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Trustee shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in
the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee in good faith. 
 (b) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral,
whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, for the
validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of PES to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the
Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents by PES, the Guarantors, the
Second Lien Creditors or the Collateral Agent. 
 ARTICLE 11 

GUARANTEES 
 Section 11.01
Guarantee. 
 (a) The Guarantors, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis, irrevocably, absolutely and
unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of Notes and the Trustee the prompt and complete payment and performance when due, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of 

  
 106

 
this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of PES thereunder, no matter how the same shall become due, of all Guaranteed Obligations. 

(b) If PES shall for any reason fail to pay any Guaranteed Obligation, as and when such Guaranteed Obligation shall become due and
payable, whether at its stated maturity, as a result of the exercise of any power to accelerate, or otherwise, the Guarantors will, upon demand by the Trustee, pay such Guaranteed Obligation in full to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of
Notes and the Trustee to which such Guaranteed Obligation is owed. If PES shall for any reason fail to perform promptly any Guaranteed Obligation that is not for the payment of money, the Guarantors will, upon demand by the Trustee, cause such
Guaranteed Obligation to be performed or, if specified by the Trustee, provide sufficient funds, in such amount and manner as the Trustee shall in good faith determine, for the prompt, full and faithful performance of such Guaranteed Obligation by
the Trustee or such other Person as the Trustee shall designate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantors will pay all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations that would be owing but for the fact that they
are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding. 
 Section 11.02 Execution and
Delivery of Guarantee. 
 (a) To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor
hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor, by manual or facsimile signature, on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers. 
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. 

(c) If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee
authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. 
 (d) The delivery
of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 

(e) In the event that PES or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this
Indenture, if required by Section 4.16 hereof, PES will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to comply to the extent applicable with the provisions of Section 4.16 hereof, this Article 11. 

  
 107

 Section 11.03 [Reserved.] 
 Section 11.04 Limitation of Liability of Certain Guarantors. 
 (a)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 11, each Guarantor confirms that it is the intention of each such Guarantor that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the
Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the
Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant
under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 (b) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Article 11, with respect to any Guarantor guaranteed hereby and the liability of such Guarantor for all obligations under this Article 11 and any Indenture Document to which it is a party, liability shall be limited to
the maximum liability that can be incurred by such Guarantor without rendering this Guarantee subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state or federal law.

 Section 11.05 Unconditional Guaranty. 
 (a) Each Guarantor will pay the Guaranteed Obligations strictly in accordance with the terms of the Indenture Documents to the extent permitted by law regardless of any law, regulation or order now or
hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any such term or any right of any Second Lien Creditor with respect thereto. 

(b) This is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. The obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Article 11 and
each Indenture Document to which such Guarantor is a party are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligation of PES or any other Guarantor under or in respect of the Indenture Documents, and a separate action or actions may be
brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee, irrespective of whether any action is brought against PES or any other Guarantor or whether PES or any other Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. 

(c) The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article 11 and each Indenture Document to which such Guarantor is a party shall not, to
the maximum extent permitted by law, be affected by: 
 (1) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution, sale of all or substantially all assets, marshalling of assets or liabilities, receivership, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, or composition of PES or any
other Guarantor; 

  
 108

 (2) any other proceeding involving PES or any other Guarantor or any asset
of PES or any other Guarantor under any law for the protection of debtors; or 
 (3) any discharge, impairment,
modification, release, or limitation of the liability of, or stay of actions or lien enforcement proceeding against, PES or any other Guarantor, any property of PES or any other Guarantor, or the estate in bankruptcy of PES or any other Guarantor in
the course of or resulting from any such proceeding. 
 Section 11.06 No Release Based on Actions of the Second Lien Creditors

 Except as expressly provided in this Indenture, no action that the Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Creditor may
take or omit to take in connection with any Indenture Document, any Guaranteed Obligation (or any other indebtedness owing by PES to any Second Lien Creditor), or any collateral security, and no course of dealing between any Second Lien Creditor and
PES, any Guarantor or any other Person, shall release or diminish any Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations, liabilities, agreements or duties hereunder, affect this Guarantee or any Indenture Document to which Guarantor is a party, or afford any
Guarantor any recourse against any Second Lien Creditor, regardless of whether any such action or inaction may increase any risk to or liability of any Second Lien Creditor, PES or any Guarantor or increase any risk to or diminish any safeguard of
any collateral security. 
 Section 11.07 Waivers. 
 The liability of each Guarantor under this Article 11 and each Indenture Document to which such Guarantor is a party shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor
irrevocably waives, for purposes of this Article 11 and each Indenture Document to which such Guarantor is a party, any defense that it may now have or hereafter acquire relating to any or all of the following (and each Guarantor acknowledges that
it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture Documents and that the waivers set forth below and otherwise in this Article 11 are knowingly made in contemplation of such
benefits), in each case to the maximum extent permitted by law: 
 (1) Any lack of validity or enforceability of
any Indenture Document, any agreement or instrument relating thereto, any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Person or the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Person. 

(2) Any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any Guaranteed Obligation or any other
Obligation of PES or any Guarantor in respect of the Indenture Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Indenture Document, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension
of additional credit to PES or any Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise. 
 (3) Any taking,
exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral security, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from any other guarantee of any Guaranteed Obligation. 

  
 109

 (4) Any manner of application of collateral security, or proceeds thereof,
to any Guaranteed Obligation, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral security securing any Guaranteed Obligation or any other obligation of PES or any Guarantor under the Indenture Documents or any other asset of PES or any
Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, and any other obligation to marshal assets. 
 (5) Any right to require any
Second Lien Creditor to proceed against any other Person, to exhaust any collateral security for the Guaranteed Obligations, to have any other Person joined with any Guarantor in any suit arising out of the Guaranteed Obligations or this Article 11
or to pursue any other remedy in any Second Lien Creditor’s power. 
 (6) Any change or restructuring of the
corporate structure or termination of the existence of PES or any Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 (7)
Any failure of any Second Lien Creditor to disclose to PES or any Guarantor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of PES or any Guarantor now or hereafter known
to such Second Lien Creditor (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Second Lien Creditors to disclose such information). 
 (8) Any failure of any other Person to execute or deliver any notation of guarantee, any supplement hereto or any other guarantee or agreement. 

(9) Any release or reduction of the liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations or any other compromise or settlement of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (10) Promptness, diligence,
notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and, to the extent permitted by law, any other notice with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation and this Article 11,
including notice of acceptance of this Article 11. 
 (11) Any requirement that any Second Lien Creditor create
or perfect any Lien or protect or insure any property subject thereto. 
 (12) Any right to revoke the provisions
of this Article 11. 
 (13) Any election of remedies by any Second Lien Creditor that in any manner impairs,
reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects any collateral security or any subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification right of any Guarantor or other right of any Guarantor to proceed against PES or any Guarantor,
any other guarantor, any other Person or any collateral security. 
 (14) Any right of set-off or counterclaim
against or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of any Guarantor hereunder. 
 (15) Any neglect, failure or
refusal to take any action: 

  
 110

 (a) for the collection or enforcement of any Guaranteed Obligation,

 (b) to realize on any collateral security, 

(c) to enforce any Indenture Document, 

(d) to file or enforce a claim in any proceeding described in Section 11.05(c), 

(e) in connection with the administration of any Indenture Document or 

(f) otherwise concerning the Guaranteed Obligations or the Indenture Documents, or any delay in taking any such action.

 (16) The fact that any Guarantor may have incurred directly any Guaranteed Obligation or is otherwise
primarily liable therefor. 
 (17) Any duty of any Second Lien Creditor to disclose to any Guarantor any matter,
fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of PES or any Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Second Lien Creditor. 

(18) Any defense to the recovery by any Second Lien Creditor against any Guarantor of any deficiency after a non-judicial
sale and any defense or benefit that may be afforded by applicable law (and in that connection each Guarantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and
without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Article 11, foreclose under any mortgage by non-judicial sale). 
 (19) Any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (20) To the extent permitted by law, any other circumstance or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Second Lien Creditor, except for indefeasible payment in full in cash and
performance in full of each Guaranteed Obligation, that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor or PES or any other guarantor or surety. 
 Section 11.08 Continuing Guaranty; Reinstatement. 
 (a) The Note Guarantee
set forth in this Article 11 is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder, unless released in accordance with
this Article 11. 
 (b) This Article 11 and each Indenture Document to which any Guarantor is a party shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Second Lien 

  
 111

 
Creditor as a result of the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of PES or any Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made, and each Guarantor jointly and severally
will pay such amount to the applicable Second Lien Creditor on demand. Any transfer by subrogation that is made as contemplated in Section 11.09(b) prior to any such payment shall (regardless of the terms of such transfer) be
automatically voided upon the making of any such payment or payments, and all rights so transferred shall thereupon automatically revert to and be vested in the Second Lien Creditors. 
 Section 11.09 Subordination; Subrogation; Contribution 
 (a)
Subordination. Each Guarantor subordinates all debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Guarantor by PES or any other Guarantor (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations as follows:

 (1) Except during the continuance of a Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law relating to PES or any other Guarantor), any Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments from PES or any other Guarantor on account of the Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to PES or any Guarantor), unless the Collateral Agent, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, otherwise agrees, no
Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of any Subordinated Obligation. 
 (2) In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to PES or any Guarantor, the Second Lien Creditors shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all
interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post-Petition Interest”)) before any Guarantor receives payment of any
Subordinated Obligation. 
 (3) After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the
commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to PES or any Guarantor), each Guarantor shall, if the Collateral Agent, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, so requests, collect, enforce and
receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as Collateral Agent for the Second Lien Creditors and deliver such payments to the Collateral Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post-Petition Interest), together
with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Article 11. 

(b) Limited Right of Subrogation. 
 (1) Until all Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and otherwise performed in full, and all obligations under each Indenture Document to which any Guarantor is a party have
been paid and performed in full, no Guarantor shall have any right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution 

  
 112

 
or any other claim against PES or any other Guarantor or any collateral security in connection with the Guarantee provided in this Article 11. Until such time, each Guarantor waives any right to
enforce any remedy that such Guarantor may have against PES and any right to participate in any collateral security. 
 (2) If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any subrogation or other right, any such other remedy, or any collateral security at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all
other expenses guaranteed pursuant hereto shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Second Lien Creditors, shall be segregated from the other funds of such Guarantor and, subject to the provisions of
the Intercreditor Agreement, shall forthwith be paid over to the Trustee to be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Second Lien Creditors as collateral security for, or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Trustee
against, any Guaranteed Obligation, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Trustee shall elect. 

(3) If any Guarantor shall have paid off any Guaranteed Obligation and if all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have
been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, the Trustee will, at the Guarantors’ expense and reasonable request, execute and deliver to such applicable Guarantor (without recourse, representation or warranty) appropriate documents necessary to
evidence the transfer, without representation or warranty, by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by the Guarantors; provided that: 

(A) such transfer shall be subject to Section 11.08(b), and 

(B) without the consent of the Collateral Agent (which the Collateral Agent may withhold in its reasonable discretion) no
Guarantor shall have the right to be subrogated to any claim or right against PES or any other Guarantor that has become owned by any Second Lien Creditor, whose ownership has otherwise changed in the course of enforcement of the Indenture
Documents, or that the Collateral Agent otherwise has released or wishes to release from its Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (c)
Right of Contribution. After all Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and otherwise performed in full, and all obligations under each Indenture Document to which any Guarantor is a party have been paid and
performed in full, the Guarantors that have made payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be entitled to contribution from the other Guarantors, to the end that all such payments upon the Guaranteed Obligations shall be shared among
all such Guarantors in proportion to their respective Net Worths; provided that the contribution obligations of each such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that it can pay at such time without rendering its contribution
obligations voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers. “Net Worth” means, at any time and for any Guarantor: 

(1) the fair value of such Guarantor’s assets (other than such right of contribution), minus 

  
 113

 (2) the fair value of such Guarantor’s liabilities (other than its
liabilities under its guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations). 
 Section 11.10 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

 (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.11 hereof, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than PES or another Guarantor, unless: 

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

(2) either: 
 (A) subject to Section 11.11 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the
obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental Indenture and appropriate Security Documents satisfactory to the Trustee; or 

(B) such sale or other disposition complies with Section 4.10 hereof. 

(b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental
indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the
Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees
issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Guarantor and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Guarantees
theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
 (c) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (a)(2)(A) and (a)(2)(B) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or
merger of a Guarantor with or into PES or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to PES or another Guarantor.

The Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released: 
 (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person

  
 114

 
that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction, PES or a Restricted Subsidiary of PES, if the sale or other disposition is not prohibited by Section 4.10
hereof; 
 (2) in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that
Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) PES or a Restricted Subsidiary of PES, if the sale, transfer or other disposition is not prohibited by Section 4.10 hereof; 

(3) if PES designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with
Section 4.17 hereof; 
 (4) upon Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof; or

will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 11. 

Upon delivery by PES to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other
disposition was made by PES in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any
Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee. 
 For any Guarantor released from its Guarantee under this
Section 11.11, the liens on the Collateral of such Guarantor will also be released under the Security Documents, in accordance with Section 10.03. 
 ARTICLE 12 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 12.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when: 
 (1) either: 
 (a) all Notes that have been authenticated, except
lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to PES, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

  
 115

 (b) all Notes 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 PES or any Guarantor has 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 Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any
reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or
redemption; 
 (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit
(other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which PES or any
Guarantor is a party or by which PES or any Guarantor is bound; 
 (3) PES or any Guarantor has paid or caused to
be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and 
 (4) PES has delivered irrevocable instructions to the
Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, PES must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been complied with.

 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 12.01(1)(b), the provisions of Sections 12.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 12.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof,
that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 Section 12.02 Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01
hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including PES acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in
accordance with Section 12.01 hereof 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, PES’s and any
Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 

  
 116

 
12.01 hereof; provided that if PES has made any payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its
obligations, PES shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 [Back of Note] 
 14.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 
 Capitalized terms used herein have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 (1)
INTEREST. Platinum Energy Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“PES”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 14.250% per annum from September 1, 2011 until
maturity; provided, however, that the first interest payment on September 1, 2011 may be capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Note at PES’s option. PES shall pay the Additional Interest, if any, payable pursuant to
Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. PES will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on
the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”); Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance;
provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such
next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be September 1, 2011. PES will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
principal at the rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
installments of interest and Additional Interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. PES will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the
Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than PES or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money
deposited by PES in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. PES will pay all Additional Interest, if any, in the same manner on the dates and in the amounts set
forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 (3) PAYING AGENT
AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. PES may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
notice to any Holder. PES or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 
 (4)
INDENTURE. PES issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of March 3, 2011 (the “Indenture”) among PES, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and to the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision

  
 A-1-4

 
of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured obligations of PES as provided in the
Indenture and the Security Documents. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. 
 (5) Optional Redemption. 
 (a) Except as set forth in subparagraphs
(b) and (c) of this Paragraph 5, the Notes will not be redeemable at PES’s option prior to March 1, 2013. On or after March 1, 2013, PES may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable redemption
date, if redeemed during the period set forth below, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date: 

 

					
	 For the
 period below
	  	Percentage	 
	 On or after March 1, 2013 to February 28, 2014
	  	 	107.125	% 
	 On or after March 1, 2014 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 Unless PES defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 
 (b) At any time on or prior to
March 1, 2013, PES may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 114.250% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed 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 an Interest Payment Date that is on or
prior to the redemption date), with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by PES, provided that: 
  

	 	(i)	at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption
(excluding Notes held by PES and its Subsidiaries); and 

  

	 	(ii)	the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 

(c) In addition, at any time prior to March 1, 2013, PES may also redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address (or transmitted otherwise in accordance with applicable procedures of DTC), with a copy to the Trustee, at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed 

  
 A-1-5

 
plus the Applicable Premium, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 
 Unless PES defaults in the payment of the
redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 
 (6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. 
 PES is
not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. PES may at any time and from time to time purchase the Notes in the open market or otherwise if such purchase complies with the then applicable agreements
of PES, including this Indenture. 
 (7) REPURCHASE AT THE
OPTION OF HOLDER. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, PES will make
an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of settlement (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), subject to the rights of
Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 15 days following any Change of Control, PES will mail a notice to each Holder and the
Trustee describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes as of the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than
60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. 

(b) If PES or a Restricted Subsidiary of PES consummates any Asset Sales, on the 361st day after the Asset Sale (or, at PES’s option,
any earlier date), if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds then exceeds $5.0 million, PES will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes, and, at PES’s option, all holders of Other Pari Passu Obligations, to purchase the maximum
principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if any, to the date of settlement, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the date of settlement, and will be payable in cash. If any
Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, PES may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, Other Pari Passu
Obligations tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess 

  
 A-1-6

 
Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and such Other Pari Passu Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will
be reset at zero. 
 (c) Within 100 days after each Determination Date for which the Excess Cash Flow of PES and its Restricted
Subsidiaries for the applicable Excess Cash Flow Offer Determination Period exceeds $2.5 million (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer Threshold”), and to the extent permitted by its Credit Facilities, PES will make an offer in cash in an amount
equal to the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount to purchase Notes (an “Excess Cash Flow Offer”) at an offer price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the
date of purchase (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment”). If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered in such Excess Cash Flow Offer exceeds the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a
pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Excess Cash Flow Offer is less than the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount, PES may use any
remaining Excess Cash Flow Amount for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. Upon completion of any such Excess Cash Flow Offer, the Excess Cash Flow Amount shall be reset at zero; provided that PES will not be deemed to be in
default under this covenant for any failure to make an Excess Cash Flow Offer or an Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment by virtue of any adjustment in the amount calculated for any Excess Cash Flow Offer Determination Period due to normal year-end
accounting adjustments or other changes concurred in by its public accountants; provided further that any such adjustment in the calculation of the Excess Cash Flow for a prior Excess Cash Flow Offer Determination Period, whether positive or
negative, shall be carried forward to the next subsequent Excess Cash Flow Offer Determination Period. Within 100 days following each such Determination Date, PES will mail a notice to each Holder and the Trustee offering to repurchase Notes as of
the date specified in the notice (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer Purchase Date”), which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture
and described in such notice. 
 (8) NOTICE OF
REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, PES will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder
whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. 

(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are
in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the 

  
 A-1-7

 
Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and PES may require a Holder to pay any taxes and
fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. PES need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, PES need not
exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 

(10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a
Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 (11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT
AND WAIVER. The Indenture or the Notes or Guarantees may be amended or supplemented as specified in the Indenture. 
 (12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default are specified in Indenture. In the case of an Event of Default arising under
Section 6.01(10) or (11) of the Indenture, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25%
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default from Holders of the Notes if it
determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, or interest, premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind an acceleration and its consequences, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing
Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 

(13) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH PES. The Trustee, in its individual or any
other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for PES or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with PES or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

(14) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A
director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder or other owner of Capital Stock of PES or any of the Guarantors, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of PES or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the
Security Documents or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

(17) ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF

Uniform Security Identification Procedures, PES has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such
numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
