Re: Initial Public Offering

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter (this “Letter
Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting
Agreement”) entered into by and among 5:01 Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and BofA Securities, Inc., as the underwriter (the “Underwriter”), relating to an underwritten initial
public offering (the “Public Offering”), of 8,000,000 shares, or up to 9,200,000 shares if the Underwriter’s
over-allotment option is exercised in full (collectively, the “Offering Shares”), of the Company’s
Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”). The Offering Shares will
be sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and a prospectus (the “Prospectus”)
filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and the Company
has applied to have the Offering Shares listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

In order to induce
the Company and the Underwriter to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of 5:01 Acquisition LLC (the
 “Sponsor”) and the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a member of the Company’s board of
directors (the “Board”) and/or management team (each of the undersigned individuals, an “Insider”
and collectively, the “Insiders”), hereby agrees with the Company as follows:

stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one
or more businesses; (ii) “Charter” shall mean the Company’s amended and restated certificate of
incorporation (as it may be amended from time to time); (iii) “Common Stock” shall mean the Class A common
stock and Class B common stock of the Company; (iv) “Founder Shares” shall mean the 2,300,000 shares
of Class B common stock issued and outstanding (up to 300,000 shares of which are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option
is not exercised by the Underwriter); (v) “Initial Stockholders” shall mean the Sponsor and any Insider
that holds Founder Shares; (vi) “Private Placement Shares” shall mean the 360,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock (or up to 384,000 shares of Class A Common Stock if the over-allotment option is exercised in full by the Underwriter) that
the Sponsor has agreed to purchase at per share purchase price of $10.00 for an aggregate purchase price of $3,600,000 (or $3,840,000
if the over-allotment option is exercised in full by the Underwriter) in a private placement that shall occur simultaneously with
the consummation of the Public Offering and any exercise of the over-allotment option by the Underwriter; (vii) “Public
Stockholders” shall mean the holders of Offering Shares issued in the Public Offering, other than the Sponsor or
any Insiders; (viii) “Trust Account” shall mean the trust fund into which a portion of the net proceeds
of the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares shall be deposited; and (ix) “Transfer”
shall mean the (a) sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase
or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position
or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated
thereunder with respect to, any security, (b) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in
part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery
of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause

		2.	Representations and warranties; Business combination vote.

 

		a.	The Sponsor and each Insider, with respect to itself, herself or himself, represents and warrants
to the Company that it, she or he has the full right and power, without violating any agreement to which it, she or he is bound
(including, without limitation, any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with any employer or former employer), to enter
into this Letter Agreement, and, as applicable, to serve as an officer of the Company and/or a director on the Board, as applicable,
and each Insider hereby consents to being named in the Prospectus, road show and any other materials as an officer and/or director
of the Company, as applicable.

 

		b.	Each Insider represents and warrants, with respect to herself or himself, that such Insider’s
biographical information furnished to the Company (including any such information included in the Prospectus) is true and accurate
in all material respects and does not omit any material information with respect to such Insider’s background. The Insider’s
questionnaire furnished to the Company and the Underwriter is true and accurate in all material respects. Each Insider represents
and warrants, with respect to herself or himself, that such Insider is not subject to or a respondent in any legal action for,
any injunction, cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain from any act or practice relating to the offering
of securities in any jurisdiction; such Insider has never been convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, any crime (i) involving fraud,
(ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of another person, or (iii) pertaining to any dealings in any securities
and such Insider is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding; and such Insider has never been suspended or expelled
from membership in any securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration
denied, suspended or revoked.

 

		c.	It is acknowledged and agreed that the Company shall not enter into a definitive agreement regarding
a proposed Business Combination without the prior consent of the Sponsor. The Sponsor and each Insider, with respect to itself
or herself or himself, agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination, then in
connection with such proposed initial Business Combination, it, she or he, as applicable, shall vote all Founder Shares, Private
Placement Shares and any Offering Shares held by it, her or him, as applicable, in favor of such proposed initial Business Combination
(including any proposals recommended by the Board in connection with such Business Combination) and not redeem any Offering Shares
held by it, her or him, as applicable, in connection with such shareholder approval. If the Company seeks to consummate a proposed
Business Combination by engaging in a tender offer, the Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she will not sell or tender
any Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Offering Shares owned by it, him or her in connection therewith.

 

    2

     

    

 

		3.	The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate
an initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter, the Sponsor and each Insider shall take all reasonable
steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible
but not more than ten business days thereafter (subject to the Company’s Charter), redeem 100% of the Offering Shares (including
any Offering Shares sold in the Public Offering or any Offering Shares that the Sponsor, Insiders or their affiliates purchased
in the Public Offering or later acquired in the open market or in private transactions) at a per-share price, payable in cash,
equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account
and not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided
by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish all Public Stockholders’ rights
as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably
possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Board, liquidate
and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph 3, to the Company’s obligations under Delaware
law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor and each Insider agrees to not propose
any amendment to the Charter (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of
the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination within the required time period set forth
in the Charter or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination
activity, unless, in each case, the Company provides its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares
in conjunction with any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in
the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company
to pay income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares.

 

The Sponsor and each Insider
acknowledges that it, he or she has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account
or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company with respect to the Founder Shares or the Private
Placement Shares held by it, him or her. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of Common
Stock held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with (A) the consummation of a
Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a stockholder vote to approve
such Business Combination, or (B) a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Charter (i) that would modify the substance
or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company has not consummated a Business
Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’
rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase Offering
Shares (although the Sponsor, the Insiders and their respective affiliates shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights
with respect to any Offering Shares it or they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the time period
set forth in the Charter).

 

		4.	Lock-up provisions.

 

		a.	Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4(c), hereof, during the period commencing on the effective
date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Underwriter, Transfer any shares of Common Stock (including, but not limited to, Founder Shares and the
Private Placement Shares) or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, or exercisable, or repayable with, shares of
Common Stock owned by it, him or her, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or
otherwise, or publicly announce any intention to effect any such Transfer.

 

    3

     

    

 

		b.	Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4(c), (i) the Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he
or she shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) or Private
Placement Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and
(B) the date subsequent to the initial Business Combination on which (x) the closing price of the Class A Common Stock equals or
exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions)
for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business
Combination or (y) the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction
that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash,
securities or other property (such period, the “Lock-up Period”).

 

		c.	Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b) hereof, the following Transfers of the
Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any other securities are permitted by the Sponsor and each Insider: (i) to any persons
(including their affiliates and stockholders) who purchase Private Placement Shares, to such holder’s affiliates, or to the
officers, directors, stockholders, employees and members of the Sponsor and its affiliates, (ii) amongst the Sponsor, the Insiders
or to the Company’s officers, directors and employees, (iii) if a holder is an entity, as a distribution to its partners,
stockholders, or members upon its liquidation, (iv) by bona fide gift to a member of the holder’s immediate family or to
a trust, the beneficiary of which is a holder or a member of a holder’s immediate family, for estate planning purposes, (v)
by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (vi) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (vii) in connection
with a pledge to secure obligations of the holder incurred in connection with the holder’s purchase of the Company’s
securities, (viii) in a private sale at a price per share or other security no greater than the price per share or other security
at which the applicable shares or securities were originally purchased from the Company, (ix) to the Company for the cancellation
of up to 300,000 Founder Shares in accordance with paragraph 6 of this Letter Agreement, (x) to the Company for no value for cancellation
in connection with the consummation of its initial Business Combination, (xi) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior
to the completion of its initial Business Combination; or (xii) in the event of completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange
or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their
Offering Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of an initial Business Combination provided,
that, except for clauses (ix), (x), (xi) and (xii) or with the Company’s prior written consent, in each case the applicable
transferee shall agree in writing to be subject to the terms of this Letter Agreement, including the provisions of this paragraph
4.

 

		d.	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this paragraph 4 shall restrict the
Sponsor or any Insider or any transferee subject to the provisions of this paragraph 4 from entering into a 10b5-1 trading plan
during the lock-up periods described in this paragraph 4, provided that such 10b5-1 trading plan does not permit any direct or
indirect sale of any securities of the Company during the applicable lock-up periods under paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b) hereof.

 

    4

     

    

 

		e.	Each of the Insiders and the Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the effective date
of any release or waiver, of the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 4, the Company shall announce the impending release or
waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver.
Any release or waiver granted shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions
of this paragraph will not apply if the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and the
transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement to the extent and for the duration
that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

 

		f.	Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in Sections 4(a) or (b) will prohibit (i) the issuance and
sale of the Private Placement Shares, (ii) the issuance and sale of additional shares of Class A Common Stock to cover the Underwriter’s
option to purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (if any), (iii) the registration
with the Commission by the Company of the Founder Shares or Private Placement Shares pursuant to the terms of that certain Registration
and Stockholder Rights Agreement to be entered into on or around the date of this Letter Agreement and (iv) the issuance of securities
in connection with a Business Combination.

 

		5.	In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure of the Company to consummate
its initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter, the Sponsor (the “Indemnitor”)
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including,
but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, whether pending or threatened) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party
for services rendered or products sold to the Company or (ii) any prospective target business with which the Company has entered
into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement (a “Target”);
provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor (x) shall apply only to the extent
necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below
the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Offering Share and (ii) the actual amount per Offering Share held in the Trust Account as of the date
of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Offering Share is then held in the Trust Account due to reductions
in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, (y) shall not apply to any claims by a third party or a Target which executed
a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and (z) shall
not apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Indemnitor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel
of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the
Indemnitor, the Indemnitor notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense.

 

		6.	To the extent that the Underwriter does not exercise its over-allotment option to purchase up to
an additional 1,200,000 Offering Shares within 45 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus),
the Sponsor agrees to forfeit, at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to 300,000 multiplied by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which is 1,200,000 minus the number of Offering Shares purchased by the Underwriter upon the exercise of its
over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 1,200,000. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment
option is not exercised in full by the Underwriter so that the Founder Shares will represent an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s
issued and outstanding shares Common Stock, on an as-converted basis, after the Public Offering (not including the Private Placement
Shares). The Company further agrees that to the extent that the size of the Public Offering is increased or decreased, the Company
will effect a share repurchase or share capitalization, as applicable, with respect to the Founder Shares immediately prior to
the consummation of the Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership of the initial stockholders of the Company
as an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares Common Stock, on an as-converted basis, after the
Public Offering (not including the Private Placement Shares or Offering Shares purchased by such stockholders in the Public Offering).

 

    5

     

    

 

		7.	The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Underwriter and the Company
would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or an Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs
2(c), 3, 4, 5 and 6, as applicable, of this Letter Agreement (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach
and (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have
in law or in equity, in the event of such breach.

 

		8.	Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, neither the Sponsor nor any officer, nor any affiliate of
the Sponsor or any officer, nor any director of the Company, shall receive from the Company any finder’s fee, reimbursement,
consulting fee, non-cash payments, monies in respect of any repayment of a loan or other compensation prior to, or in connection
with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (regardless
of the type of transaction that it is), other than the following, none of which will be made from the proceeds held in the Trust
Account prior to the completion of the initial Business Combination: repayment of a loan and advances up to an aggregate of $300,000
made to the Company by the Sponsor; reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating,
negotiating and completing an initial Business Combination, and repayment of loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined
by the Company from time to time, made by the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or any of the Company’s officers or
directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, provided, that, if the Company
does not consummate an initial Business Combination, a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account may be used
by the Company to repay such loaned amounts so long as no proceeds from the Trust Account are used for such repayment.

 

		9.	The Company will maintain an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’
liability insurance, and each member of the Board shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their
terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any of the Company’s directors or officers.

 

		10.	This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto
in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the
parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated
hereby. This Letter Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as
to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

 

		11.	Other than as provided in paragraph 4 of this Letter Agreement, no party hereto may assign either
this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer
or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Letter Agreement shall be binding on the Sponsor and each Insider
and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and permitted transferees.

 

    6

     

    

 

		12.	Nothing in this Letter Agreement shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation
other than the parties hereto any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Letter Agreement or of any covenant, condition,
stipulation, promise or agreement hereof. All covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements contained in this Letter
Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors, heirs, personal representatives
and assigns and permitted transferees.

 

		13.	This Letter Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and
delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature
is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature
page were an original thereof. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature
covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or
other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to
have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

 

		14.	This Letter Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any
term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Letter Agreement or of any other term or provision
hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall
be added as a part of this Letter Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be
possible and be valid and enforceable.

 

		15.	This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would
result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto (i) all agree that any action, proceeding,
claim or dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Letter Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of
New York City or in the State of New York, and irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue
shall be exclusive and (ii) waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient
forum.

 

		16.	Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of
this Letter Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail
(return receipt requested), by hand delivery or facsimile or electronic transmission.

 

		17.	This Letter Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Lock-up Period
or (ii) the liquidation of the Company; provided, however, that this Letter Agreement shall earlier terminate in the event that
the Public Offering is not consummated and closed by December 31, 2020; provided further that paragraph 5 of this Letter Agreement
shall survive any such termination.

	 	(e)	 any expenses or charges related to any Equity Offering, Permitted Investment, acquisition, disposition,

	 	(1)	 the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness or the issuance of any Designated Preferred Stock of such

disposed operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) occurring during the Four-Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four-Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such Asset Sale or other
disposition or Asset Acquisition (including the incurrence or assumption of any such Acquired Indebtedness), investment, merger, consolidation or disposed operation occurred on the first day of the Four-Quarter Period. If such Person or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries directly or indirectly guarantees Indebtedness of a third Person, the preceding sentence shall give effect to the incurrence of such guaranteed Indebtedness as if such Person or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Person had
directly incurred or otherwise assumed such other Indebtedness that was so guaranteed; and 

  

	 	(3)	 any designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and any designation of an Unrestricted

shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness

published, any publicly available source of similar market data) most nearly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to October 15, 2025; provided, however, that if the period from the Redemption Date to October 15, 2025
is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury Security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest
one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury Securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the Redemption Date to October 15, 2025 is less
than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

 SECTION 1.06. Limited Condition Transactions. 

When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture or compliance with any provision of this Indenture in
connection with any Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the Incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness and the use of the proceeds thereof, the Incurrence of Liens,
repayments, Restricted Payments and Asset Sales), in each case, at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination for availability under any such
basket or ratio and whether any such action or transaction is permitted (or any requirement or condition therefor is complied with or satisfied (including as to the absence of any Default or Event of Default)) under this Indenture shall be deemed to
be the date (the “LCT Test Date”) the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of an irrevocable notice, declaration of a dividend or similar
event) and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the Incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the
Incurrence of Liens, repayments, Restricted Payments and Asset Sales) and any related pro forma adjustments, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such actions or consummate such transactions on the
relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket (and any related requirements and conditions), such ratio, test or basket (and any related requirements and conditions) shall be deemed to have been complied with (or satisfied)
for all purposes; provided that (a) compliance with such ratios, tests or baskets (and any related requirements and conditions) shall not be determined or tested at any time after the applicable LCT Test Date for such Limited Condition
Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the Incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the Incurrence of Liens, repayments, Restricted Payments and Asset Sales)
and (b) Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated using an assumed interest rate based on the indicative interest margin contained in any financing commitment documentation with respect
to such Indebtedness or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith. 
 For the
avoidance of doubt, if the Company has made an LCT Election, (1) if any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT Test Date have been exceeded or
otherwise failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Company, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded or
failed to have been complied with as a result of such fluctuations (and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred due to such failure to comply), and (2) in calculating the availability under any ratio, test or basket in
connection with any action or transaction unrelated to such Limited Conditional Transaction following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated and the date that the
definitive agreement or date for redemption, purchase or repayment specified in an irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction,
any such ratio, test or basket shall be determined or tested giving pro forma effect to such Limited Condition Transaction. 
 ARTICLE 2 

THE NOTES 
 Pursuant to
Section 201 of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Article 2 establish the form of the Notes under this Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, and to the extent that any provisions of this Article 2 are duplicative, or in contradiction with,
the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Article 2 shall govern the Notes. 

  
 34 

 SECTION 2.01. Form and Dating. 

(a) General. The Notes shall be issued in series of senior unsecured notes consisting of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2030. The Notes and the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements
required by law, stock exchange rule or usage in addition to those set forth on Exhibit A. The Notes shall be dated the date of authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture, and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Eleventh Supplemental
Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of the Notes conflicts with the express provisions of this Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Eleventh
Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 (b) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.01(b) shall only apply to
Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases in the Global Note” attached thereto).
Each Global Note shall be registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee and deposited with a custodian for DTC, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter
provided. Participants and Indirect Participants shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by a Depositary or by the Trustee as the custodian for such Depositary or under such Global Note, and
such Depositary shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any Agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company,
the Trustee or any Agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and its Participants or Indirect Participants, the
Applicable Procedures or the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. The Company has entered into a letter of representations with DTC in the
form provided by DTC and the Trustee and each Agent are hereby authorized to act in accordance with such letter and applicable DTC procedures. 

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

(d) Euroclear and Clearstream Banking 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 Banking will be applicable to transfers of
beneficial interests in the Global Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream Banking. 
 (e) Certain Rights of
Trustee. In connection with any proposed exchange of a Certificated Note for a Global Note, the Company or DTC shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax
reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy
of such information. 

  
 35 

 (f) Relevant Dates. If any interest payment date, the maturity date, any redemption
date, or any earlier required repurchase date of a Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay. 

SECTION 2.02. Registrar and Paying Agent. 

(a) The Company initially appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as (i) Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Notes
and (ii) the Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee
shall act as such. The Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. All Agents appointed under this Indenture shall be appointed pursuant to agency agreements among the Company, the Trustee and the Agent, as
applicable. The obligations of any Registrar and Paying Agent shall be several and not joint. 
 (b) The Company initially appoints DTC to
act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 
 SECTION 2.03. Outstanding Notes. 

(a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it
for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.03 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.04 hereof,
a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. 
 (b) If a Note is replaced
pursuant to Section 306 of the Base Indenture, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in
Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code). 
 (c) If the principal amount of any Note is
considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 (d) If a Paying Agent
(other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a date of redemption (a “Redemption Date”) or maturity date, money sufficient to pay
all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 

(e) For purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have taken any action as herein described, the
principal amount of the Notes as of (i) if a record date has been set with respect to the taking of such action, such date or (ii) if no such record date has been set, the date the taking of such action by the Holders of such requisite
principal amount is certified to the Trustee by the Company. 

  
 36 

 SECTION 2.04. Treasury Notes. 

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

SECTION 2.05. Additional Notes. 

The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.07 hereof, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture in an
unlimited aggregate principal amount which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes, other than with respect to the issue date, the issue price, the first interest payment date and the date from which interest will accrue, and will constitute
part of the same series; provided that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will be issued as a separate series under this Indenture and will have a
separate CUSIP number and ISIN from the Initial Notes. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to
purchase. 
 With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of its Board of Directors and an
Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 
 (a) the aggregate
principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and 
 (b) the issue price, the
issue date and the CUSIP, ISIN and/or Common Code number(s) of such Additional Notes. 
 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 

SECTION 3.01. Redemption in Part. 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, selection of such series for redemption or
purchase will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and with respect to Global Notes, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC. In the event of partial
redemption, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of the Notes
held by such Holder shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Eleventh Supplemental Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. 

  
 37 

 SECTION 3.02. Notice of Redemption. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.05 hereof, at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall
mail or cause to be mailed or otherwise delivered to each Holder in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. 

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number) and shall state: 

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

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

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

(f) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after
the Redemption Date; 
 (g) the paragraph of the Notes and Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are
being redeemed; 
 (h) the condition, if any, that such redemption is subject to; and 

(i) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN and/or Common Code number, if any, listed in such
notice or printed on the Notes. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name
and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company gives the Trustee the notice to be given at least five Business Days prior notice of such request (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). 

Any redemption notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of an Equity
Offering or other corporate transaction. In such event, the related notice of redemption shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, at the Company’s discretion, the date of redemption may be delayed until such time
(including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such
redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption, or by the date of redemption as so delayed. The Company shall provide written
notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee) if any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee shall
provide such notice to each Holder in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. 

  
 38 

 SECTION 3.03. Optional Redemption. 

(a) At any time prior to October 15, 2025, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Regular Record
Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 
 (b) On or after October 15, 2025, the Company may redeem the
Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed, as percentages of the principal amount thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of
Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on October 15 of the years set forth below:

  

					
	 Year
	  	
Redemption Price
	 
	 2025

	 2026
	  	 	101.375	% 
	 2027
	  	 	100.688	%

originally issued at a redemption price (expressed, as a percentage of principal amount) of 104.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, with the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings;
provided, however, that 
 (1) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which includes
Additional Notes, if any) originally issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (excluding Notes held, directly or indirectly, by the Company or any of its Affiliates); and 

(2) each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of the related Equity Offering. 

(d) Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.02 hereof and
applicable sections of Article XI of the Base Indenture. 
 SECTION 3.04. Mandatory Redemption. 

Except as set forth in Section 4.08 and 4.11 hereof, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund
payments with respect to the Notes. 
 SECTION 3.05. Offer to Purchase. 

(a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.08 or 4.11 hereof, the Company shall be required to commence an offer to all Holders to
purchase Notes and, at the Company’s option, holders of other pari passu Indebtedness (each an “Offer to Purchase”), it shall follow the procedures specified below. 

(b) The Offer to Purchase shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent
that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company shall purchase the
principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to 

  
 39 

 
Section 4.08 or 4.11 hereof (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Offer to Purchase. Payment
for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 
 If the Purchase Date is on or after a Regular
Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no additional interest shall be
payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. 
 Upon the commencement of the Offer to Purchase, the Company shall
send or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC a notice to each of the Holders, which shall not be later than 30 days after the Company becomes obligated to make an Offer to Purchase with a copy to the Trustee. The
notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. The Offer to Purchase shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Offer to
Purchase, shall state: 
 (1) that the Offer to Purchase is being made pursuant to this Section 3.05 and
Section 4.08 or 4.11 hereof, as the case may be, and the length of time the Offer to Purchase shall remain open; 
 (2)
the Offer Amount (including information as to any other pari passu Indebtedness included in the Offer to Purchase), the purchase price and the Purchase Date, which must be no earlier than 15 days nor later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC; 
 (3) that any Note not
tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrete or accrue interest; 
 (4) that, unless the Company defaults in
making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer to Purchase shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date; 

(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase may only elect to have all of such Note
purchased and may not elect to have only a portion of such Note purchased; 
 (6) that Holders electing to have a Note
purchased pursuant to any Offer to Purchase shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a
Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 

(7) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the applicable Depositary or the applicable
Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, facsimile transmission or letter or book entry transmission setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered
for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 
 (8) that, in the
case of an Offer to Purchase, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered by Holders into an Offer to Purchase exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall 

  
 40 

 
select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the
Company so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased provided that no Notes of a principal amount of less than $2,000 shall be redeemed in part); and 

(9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 
 In the case of an Offer to Purchase, no later than the date
upon which written notice of an Offer to Purchase is delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as to the allocation of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale pursuant to which
such Offer to Purchase is being made and the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.08 hereof. On such date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the applicable Paying Agent an amount equal to the Offer
Amount to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section. 
 On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to
the extent lawful, accept for payment, in accordance with clause (8) above, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.05. The Company, the applicable Depositary or the
applicable Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and
accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, shall authenticate and mail or deliver by book entry transfer such new Note to such Holder, in a principal
amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Offer to Purchase on the
Purchase Date. 
 Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.05 any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be
made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.02 hereof and applicable sections of Article XI of the Base Indenture.

that is not an “accelerated filer” as defined in such rules and regulations). For so long as the Notes are outstanding, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company shall file a copy of all such information
and reports (including the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act) with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations (unless the SEC will
not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors. 
 (b) The Company shall at
all times comply with TIA § 314(a).

to cease delivering copies of all such documents is given by the Trustee or such Holder. 

  
 42

informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s
compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture or the Notes (as to which the Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or confirm and shall be entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee shall not be obligated to
monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the SEC or EDGAR or any website under this Indenture. 

SECTION 4.04. Compliance Certificate. 

(a) The Company and each Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a brief certificate (that
need not comply with Section 10(b) of the Base Indenture) from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and
covenants under this Indenture and, if the Company is in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which he or she may have knowledge. For purposes of this Section 4.04, such compliance shall be determined
without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.

SECTION 4.05. Restricted Payments. 

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

(1) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on or in respect of shares of the Company’s or any Restricted
Subsidiary’s Capital Stock to holders of such Capital Stock (other than dividends or distributions payable in Qualified Capital Stock of the Company and dividends or distributions payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and other than
pro rata dividends or other distributions made by a Subsidiary that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary to minority stockholders (or owners of an equivalent interest in the case of a Subsidiary that is an entity other than a corporation)); 

(2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock of the Company or of any direct or indirect
parent of the Company or of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or any warrants, rights or options to purchase or acquire shares of any class of such Capital Stock; 

(3) purchase, defease, redeem, prepay, decrease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled final
maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Indebtedness of the Company, or of any Guarantor, that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes or any Guarantee, as applicable (other than (x) any
Indebtedness permitted under clause (6) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness and (y) the purchase, defeasance, redemption, prepayment, decrease or other acquisition or retirement of such Indebtedness purchased in anticipation of
satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of such purchase, defeasance, redemption, prepayment, decrease or other acquisition or retirement); or 

  
 43 

 (4) make any Investment (other than Permitted Investments) 

(each of the foregoing actions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) being referred to as a “Restricted Payment”); unless,
at the time of such Restricted Payment and immediately after giving effect thereto: 
 (i) no Default or an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing; 
 (ii) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro
forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable Four-Quarter Period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
test set forth in Section 4.07; and 
 (iii) the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments (including such proposed
Restricted Payment) made subsequent to the Issue Date (other than Restricted Payments made pursuant to clauses (2), (3), (4), (5) and (8) of Section 4.05(b)) is less than the sum of, without duplication, the following: 

(A) 50% of the cumulative Consolidated Net Income (or if cumulative Consolidated Net Income shall be a loss, minus 100% of such
loss) of the Company earned during the period (treated as one accounting period) from December 26, 2015 to the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such Restricted Payment for which internal financial
statements are available; plus 
 (B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the fair market value of property other
than cash that would constitute Marketable Securities or a Permitted Business received by the Company from any Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company) from the issuance and sale subsequent to the Issue Date of Qualified Capital Stock of the
Company (other than Designated Preferred Stock); plus 
 (C) the amount by which Indebtedness of the Company is reduced on
the Company’s balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange subsequent to the Issue Date of any Indebtedness of the Company for Qualified Capital Stock of the Company (less the amount of any cash, or the fair value of any other property,
distributed by the Company upon such conversion or exchange); provided, however, that the foregoing amount shall not exceed the net cash proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the sale of such Indebtedness;
plus 
 (D) an amount equal to the sum of (I) 100% of the aggregate net proceeds (including the fair market value of property
other than cash that would constitute Marketable Securities or a Permitted Business) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the Issue Date (A) from any sale or other disposition of any Investment (other than a Permitted
Investment) in any Person (including an Unrestricted Subsidiary) made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and (B) representing the return of capital or principal (excluding dividends and distributions otherwise included in
Consolidated Net Income) with respect to such Investment, and (II) the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in an Unrestricted Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the
time such 

  
 44 

 
Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that, in the case of item (II), the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted
Subsidiary, the amount of Investments (excluding Permitted Investments) previously made (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Unrestricted Subsidiary; plus 

(E) $75.0 million. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in Section 4.05(a) shall not prohibit: 

(1) the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration
of such dividend or notice of such redemption if the dividend or payment of the redemption price, as the case may be, would have been permitted on the date of declaration or notice; 

(2) any Restricted Payment made out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, or made by exchange for,
Qualified Capital Stock of the Company (other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary of the Company or an employee stock ownership plan or to a trust established by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of their employees
and other than Designated Preferred Stock) or a substantially concurrent cash capital contribution received by the Company from its shareholders; provided, however, that the net cash proceeds from such sale or such cash capital
contribution (to the extent so used for such Restricted Payment) shall be excluded from the calculation of amounts under clause (iii)(B) of Section 4.05(a); 

(3) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of any Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor that is
subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes or the applicable Guarantee through the application of net proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale for cash (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of Refinancing Indebtedness that is
subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes or the applicable Guarantee; 
 (4) the redemption, repurchase, or
other acquisition or retirement for value of any Capital Stock of the Company, in each case in connection with the repurchase provisions of employee stock option or stock purchase agreements or other agreements to compensate management employees, or
upon the death, disability, retirement, severance or termination of employment of management employees; provided that all such redemptions or repurchases pursuant to this clause (4) shall not exceed in any fiscal year $15.0 million
(with unused amounts in any calendar year carried over to succeeding calendar years subject to a maximum of $25.0 million in any calendar year; provided that amounts in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed the
net cash proceeds received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from the sale of the Company’s Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) to any member of the management or the Board of Directors of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary); 
 (5) repurchases of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options if such
Capital Stock represents a portion of the exercise price thereof; 
 (6) repurchases of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon
the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted stock grants to satisfy tax withholding obligations; 

  
 45 

 (7) additional Restricted Payments since the Issue Date in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $250.0 million; 
 (8) payments of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends on Disqualified Capital
Stock issued in compliance with Section 4.07 hereof to the extent such dividends are included in the definition of “Consolidated Interest Expense”; 

(9) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Obligations of the
Company that are subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes (i) at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Obligations in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with provisions similar to
Section 4.11 hereof or (ii) at a purchase price not greater than 100% of the principal amount thereof with provisions similar to Section 4.08 hereof provided that, prior to or simultaneously with such purchase, repurchase,
redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement, the Company has made the Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer, as applicable, as provided in such covenant with respect to the Notes and has completed the repurchase or redemption of
all Notes validly tendered for payment in connection with such Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer; 
 (10) the
payment of any dividend by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the holders of its equity interests on a pro rata basis and the redemption, purchase, cancellation or other retirement of equity interests in a Restricted Subsidiary; 

(11) the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of the Existing Senior Notes; and 

(12) any Restricted Payment; provided that, immediately after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the application
of the proceeds thereof), the Company would have had a Total Net Leverage Ratio of less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00; 
 provided, however, that at
the time and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clause (12), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof. 

(c) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary as specified
in the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of making such determination, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid in cash) in the Subsidiary so designated
shall be deemed to be Restricted Payments at the time of the designation and shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.05(a) hereof. All of those outstanding Investments shall be deemed to constitute Investments
in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Investments at the time of such designation. Such designation shall only be permitted if the Restricted Payment would be permitted at the time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the
definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 (d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.05, in the event that a
Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Restricted Payments described above or as a Permitted Investment, the Company, in its sole discretion, may divide and classify (or later reclassify) such
Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) in any manner in compliance with this Section 4.05, and following such reclassification such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment shall be treated as having been made pursuant to only the clause
or clauses of this Section 4.05 to which such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment has been reclassified. 

  
 46 

 SECTION 4.06. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. 

The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause

(a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock; 

(b) make loans or advances or pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Company or any Guarantor; or 

(c) sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Guarantor,

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

(3) non-assignment provisions of any contract or any lease of any Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company entered into in the ordinary course of business;

terms of this Indenture to be incurred; 
 (5) the Debt Facility in effect on the Issue Date or any amendments,
modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided that any restrictions imposed pursuant to any such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement,
refunding, replacement or refinancing are either (i) contained in, or not materially more restrictive than those contained in, the Debt Facility in effect prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement,
refunding, replacement or refinancing or (ii) ordinary and customary with respect to syndicated bank loans in the market at the time such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing
are entered into; 
 (6) agreements existing on the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect
on the Issue Date, including the Existing Indenture; 
 (7) restrictions on the transfer of assets subject to any Lien

 (8) restrictions imposed by any agreement to sell
assets or Capital Stock to any Person pending the closing of such sale which is not prohibited by this Indenture; 
 (9) any
agreement or instrument governing Capital Stock of any Person that is acquired; 

  
 47 

 (10) any Purchase Money Note or other Indebtedness or other contractual
requirements in connection with a Qualified Securitization Transaction; 
 (11) other Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue
Date or permitted to be incurred under this Indenture; provided that any such restrictions are ordinary and customary with respect to the type of Indebtedness being incurred; 

(12) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary
course of business; 
 (13) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements,

restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors (evidenced by a Board Resolution) whose judgment shall be conclusively binding, either
(i) not materially more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase,
supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing or (ii) ordinary and customary with respect to such instruments or obligations at the time such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or
refinancing are entered into; 
 (14) encumbrances or restrictions contained in any instrument governing Capital Stock of a
Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Capital Stock was incurred or issued in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which

(15) customary provisions in joint venture, asset sale, stock purchase and merger agreements and other similar agreements; and

 (16) customary provisions in leases, licenses and other agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business. 

SECTION 4.07. Incurrence of Indebtedness. 

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume,
guarantee, acquire, become liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for payment of (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness); provided,
however, that the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness), in each case if on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the
incurrence thereof, the Company’s Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for its most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional
Indebtedness is incurred would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0; provided, further, that the amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to the foregoing by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors shall not exceed the greater of
(x) $100 million and (y) 5.0% of the Company’s Total Assets at any one time outstanding. 

  
 48 

 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur
any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to
the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be. 

Unsecured Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to the Secured Debt merely because it is unsecured and Senior Debt shall
not be treated as subordinated or junior to any other Senior Debt merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral. 

SECTION 4.08. Asset Sales. 

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

(i) the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset
Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company); 

(ii) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such
Asset Sale shall be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of: 
 (A) any liabilities (as
shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantees) that are
assumed by the transferee of any such assets and from which the Company and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing; 

(B) any notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are
converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received); 

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time
outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $75 million and (y) 7.5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of
Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value); and 

(D) any Productive Assets, 

shall, in each of clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above, be deemed to be cash for the purposes of this Section 4.08(a); and 

  
 49 

 (iii) upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company shall apply, or
cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 365 days of receipt thereof: 

(A) to prepay any Obligations under a Debt Facility or Obligations under Senior Debt that are secured by a Lien, which Lien is
permitted by this Indenture and, in the case of any such Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility, effect a corresponding reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility (or, if required by a Debt Facility, effect a
permanent reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility regardless of the fact that no prepayment is required in order to do so (in which case no prepayment should be required)), 

(B) to prepay the Obligations under other Senior Debt and, in the case of any such Indebtedness under any revolving credit
facility, effect a corresponding reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility; provided that to the extent the Company prepaid Obligations under Senior Debt other than the Notes, the Company shall equally and ratably
reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under Section 3.03 hereof, through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures
set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid, 

(C) to prepay Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company, a
Guarantor or another Restricted Subsidiary, 
 (D) to reinvest in Productive Assets (provided that this requirement
shall be deemed satisfied if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary by the end of such 365-day period has entered into a binding agreement under which it is contractually committed to reinvest in Productive
Assets and such investment is consummated within 120 days from the date on which such binding agreement is entered into and, with respect to the amount of such investment, the reference to the 366th day after an Asset Sale in the second following
sentence shall be deemed to be a reference to the 121st day after the date on which such binding agreement is entered into (but only if such 121st day occurs later than such 366th day)), and 

(E) a combination of prepayment and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (iii)(A), (iii)(B), (iii)(C), and (iii)(D).

 Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce
Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in Cash Equivalents. On the 366th day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or of such Restricted
Subsidiary determines by Board Resolution not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (iii)(A), (iii)(B), (iii)(C), (iii)(D) or (iii)(E) above (the “Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date”),
such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds that have not been applied as set forth in clauses (iii)(A), (iii)(B), (iii)(C) (iii)(D) or (iii)(E) above on or before such Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date (each an “Asset Sale Offer
Amount”) shall be applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the “Asset Sale Offer”) on a date (the “Asset Sale Offer Payment Date”) not less than
15 nor more than 

  
 50 

 
60 days following the applicable Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders and holders of any other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary ranking pari passu with the
Notes requiring the making of such an offer (the “Pari Passu Debt”) on a pro rata basis, the maximum amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt that may be purchased with the Asset Sale Offer Amount at a price
equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (or, in respect of such other Pari Passu Debt, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu
Debt), in accordance with the procedures (including pro rating in the event of oversubscription and calculation of the principal amount of Notes denominated in different currencies) set forth in this Indenture. 

(b) If at any time any non-cash consideration (including any Designated
Non-cash Consideration) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash
(other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall
be applied in accordance with this Section 4.08. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Asset Sale Offer Amount is less than
$50.0 million, the application of the Net Cash Proceeds constituting such Asset Sale Offer Amount to an Asset Sale Offer may be deferred until such time as such Asset Sale Offer Amount plus the aggregate amount of all Asset Sale Offer Amounts
arising subsequent to the Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date relating to such initial Asset Sale Offer Amount from all Asset Sales by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries aggregates at least $50.0 million, at which time the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary shall apply all Net Cash Proceeds constituting all Asset Sale Offer Amounts that have been so deferred to make an Asset Sale Offer (the first date the aggregate of all such deferred Asset Sale Offer Amounts is equal to
$50.0 million or more shall be deemed to be an Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date). 
 Each Asset Sale Offer will be mailed or sent
electronically to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 30 days following the Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and shall comply with the procedures set forth in Section 3.05 hereof. Upon
receiving notice of the Asset Sale Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part in, in a minimum of $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (provided that no Note will be purchased in part if such
Note would have a remaining amount of less than $2,000), in exchange for cash. To the extent Holders properly tender Notes (and, if applicable, holders of Pari Passu Debt, tender Pari Passu Debt) in an aggregate amount exceeding the Asset Sale Offer
Amount, Notes of tendering Holders and Pari Passu Debt of holders thereof will be purchased on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered). To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt tendered pursuant to an Asset
Sale Offer is less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount, the Company may use any remaining Asset Sale Offer Amount for general corporate purposes or for any other purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer,
the Asset Sale Offer Amount shall be reset at zero. 
 The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule
14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this
Section 4.08. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.08, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed
to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.08 by virtue thereof.

 SECTION 4.09. Affiliate Transactions. 

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to occur
any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or asset or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (an
“Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payment or consideration in excess of $10.0 million, unless (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the
relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company;
and (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $25.0 million, a Board Resolution adopted by the
majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a resolution of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved by a majority of the members of the Audit Committee approving such Affiliate Transaction and
set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above. 
 (b) The
restrictions set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof shall not apply to: 
 (1) reasonable fees and compensation paid to,
and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof; 

(2) transactions between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among such Restricted
Subsidiaries (other than a Securitization Entity); provided that such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture; 

(3) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including
pursuant to any amendment thereto) or by any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the
Issue Date as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors; 
 (4) Restricted Payments or Permitted
Investments permitted by this Indenture; 
 (5) transactions effected as part of a Qualified Securitization Transaction; 

(6) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the
Company owns, directly or through a Subsidiary, Capital Stock in, or controls, such Person; 
 (7) payments or loans to
employees or consultants that are approved by a majority of the independent directors of the Company’s Board of Directors or by the Company’s compensation committee; 

(8) sales of Qualified Capital Stock to Affiliates of the Company; 

(9) transactions permitted by, and complying with, the provisions of Article 5 hereof; and 

(10) transactions in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives an opinion from a nationally
recognized investment banking, appraisal or accounting 

  
 52 

 
firm that such Affiliate Transaction is either fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or is on terms not materially less favorable than those that might
reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company. 

SECTION 4.10. Liens. 
 The
Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or suffer to exist any Lien securing Indebtedness (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its properties or assets (including
Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom, unless: 

(a) if such Lien secures Subordinated Debt, the Notes or the Guarantees, as the case may be, are secured on a senior priority basis with such
Indebtedness for so long as such Subordinated Debt is secured by such Lien; and 
 (b) in all other cases, the Notes or the Guarantees, as
the case may be, are secured on an equal and ratable basis. 
 Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the preceding
paragraph shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien on such other Indebtedness and that holders of such other Indebtedness may exclusively
control the disposition of property subject to such Lien. 
 SECTION 4.11. Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Company has executed its right to redeem all of the Notes as described under Section 3.03
hereof, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to
101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control
occurred, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes as described under Section 3.03 hereof. the Company must send or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC. a notice to the Trustee and
each Holder, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 15 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or
otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). Holders electing to have their Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of
Control Offer shall be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of
business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, or with respect to Global Notes, comply with the applicable procedures of DTC. 

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof
properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time, an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so
tendered and (3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that all Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Company.
In the event that the Company makes a Change of Control Payment, the Paying Agent shall 

  
 53 

 
promptly mail or wire transfer to each Holder the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate (or transfer by book entry) a new Note equal in principal
amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, 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. The Company shall publicly announce the results
of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (c) If the Change of Control
Payment Date is on or after a Regular Record Date for an interest payment and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Change of Control Payment Date will be paid on the Change of Control
Payment Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, subject to applicable procedures of DTC with respect to Global Notes. 

(d) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with this Section 4.11, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.11 by virtue thereof. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.11, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer
upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.11 hereof and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not
withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 
 (f) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and
conditioned upon, the occurrence of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control Offer at the time of making the Change of Control Offer. 

(g) Prior to making a Change of Control Payment, and as a condition to such payment (1) the requisite lenders or holders of Indebtedness
incurred or issued under a credit facility, an indenture or other agreement that may be violated by such payment shall have consented to such Change of Control Payment being made and waived the event of default, if any, caused by the Change of
Control or (2) the Company will repay all outstanding Indebtedness incurred or issued under a credit facility, an indenture or other agreement that may be violated by a Change of Control Payment or the Company will offer to repay all such
Indebtedness, make payment to the lenders or holders of such Indebtedness that accept such offer and obtain waivers of any event of default arising under the relevant credit facility, indenture or other agreement from the remaining lenders or
holders of such Indebtedness. 
 (h) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender
and do not validly withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn
by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 15 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 15 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described
above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

 SECTION 4.12. Corporate Existence. 

Except as otherwise permitted by Article 5 hereof, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full
force and effect its corporate existence. 
 SECTION 4.13. Additional Guarantors. 

(a) The Company shall cause each future Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that Guarantees a Debt Facility or becomes a borrower under a Debt
Facility after the Issue Date to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and
prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations under this Indenture on a senior basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that at any time has
total assets of less than $1,000,000, as reflected on such Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet as of the date of determination, or consolidated cash flow for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial
statements are available immediately preceding the date of determination of less than $500,000, will not be required to become a Guarantor unless it guarantees other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company. 

(b) In the event any Guarantor is released and discharged in full from all of its obligations under guarantees of such Debt Facility, then the
Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released or discharged; provided that such Restricted Subsidiary has not incurred any Indebtedness in reliance on its status as a Guarantor under Section 4.07 unless
such Guarantor’s obligations under such Indebtedness so incurred are satisfied in full and discharged or are otherwise permitted under one of the exceptions available under the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” at the time of
such release to Restricted Subsidiaries. In addition, each Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02 hereto. 

(c) Each Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Restricted Subsidiary without
rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

SECTION 4.14. Limitation on Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. 

The Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Stock (other than to the Company or to a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company) or permit any Person (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) to own any Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company. 

SECTION 4.15. Suspension of Covenants. 

(a) During any period of time following the Issue Date that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from at least two of the Rating
Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension
Event”), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture: 

(1) Section 4.05; 

(2) Section 4.06; 

(3) Section 4.07; 

  
 55 

 (4) Section 4.08; 

(5) Section 4.09; 

(6) Section 4.13; 

(7) Section 4.14; and 

(8) clause (a)(ii) of Section 5.01 

(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds with
respect to any applicable Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date shall be set at zero at such date (the “Suspension Date”). In addition, in the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended
Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) two of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes
below an Investment Grade Rating or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events. The period of
time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” Within 30 days of the Reversion Date, any Restricted Subsidiary that would have been required during the Suspension Period but
for the Suspended Covenants by Section 4.13 hereof to execute a supplemental indenture will execute such supplemental indenture required by such Section. Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of
Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the
Suspension Period). 
 (b) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been
incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred or issued prior to the
Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date. To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof, such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue
Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (3) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness. Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.05 hereof will
be made as though the covenant described under Section 4.05 hereof had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been made
pursuant to Section 4.05(a) hereof. 
 (c) Promptly following the occurrence of any Suspension Date or Reversion Date, the Company
shall provide an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee regarding such occurrence. The Trustee shall have no obligation to independently determine or verify if a Suspension Date or Reversion Date has occurred or notify the Holders of any
Suspension Date or Reversion Date. The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officers’ Certificate to any Holder of the Notes upon request.

obligations under this Indenture and the Notes; and 
 (v) the Company or the Surviving Entity shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such

or an Affiliate of the Company), whether through a merger, consolidation or sale of Capital Stock or through the sale of all or substantially all of its assets (such sale constituting the disposition of such Guarantor in its entirety), if in
connection therewith the Company provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee to the effect that the Company will comply with its obligations under Section 4.08 hereof in respect of such disposition) the resulting, surviving or
transferee Person (if not a Guarantor) (the “Surviving Guarantor Entity”) shall be a Person organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Guarantor was organized or under the laws of the
United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and such Person shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture (in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee), executed and delivered to the Trustee, all the

 (ii) except in the case of a merger of a Guarantor with or

by the immediately preceding clause (b)(1) (including, without limitation, giving effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Indebtedness incurred and any Lien granted in connection with or in respect of the transaction), no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (iii) except in the case of a merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or

obligations of the Guarantor, subject to customary exceptions. 
 In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the
assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions
of this Indenture to be performed by the Restricted Subsidiary, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Restricted Subsidiary with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Restricted Subsidiary. Such successor
Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Guarantees of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have
the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

final Stated Maturity of any such Indebtedness, if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been
accelerated, aggregates $50.0 million or more at any time; 

  
 59 

 (e) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $50.0 million (to the
extent not covered by independent third party insurance as to which the insurer does not dispute the coverage) shall have been rendered against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or

to the Company and the Trustee (if given by the Holders) specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration”, and the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in
clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs and is continuing with respect to the Company, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become
and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 At any time after a
declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences (i) if the rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (iii) to the extent the payment
of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (iv) if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable
compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances (including reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and agents), and (v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in
clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default
or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 SECTION 6.03. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606 of the Base Indenture out of the estate in any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding shall be unpaid
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. 
 ARTICLE 7 

TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 7.01. Duties
of Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs. 

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any special, indirect, punitive 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. 

  
 61 

 SECTION 7.02. Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to
Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs; provided, however, that in the case of any Default of the character specified in Section 6.01(c) no such notice to Holders will be given until
at least 60 calendar days after the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 
 ARTICLE 8 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

SECTION 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any
time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof 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 the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall 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 (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the
Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of
Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when
such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 304, 305 and 306 of the Base Indenture and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee
hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and (d) the provisions of this Article 8 with respect to Legal Defeasance. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 SECTION 8.03. Covenant
Defeasance. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the
Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 and 4.14 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 shall thereafter be deemed not
“outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall 

  
 62 

 
continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose,
Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(d) and 6.01(e) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 

SECTION 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes: In order to
exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 
 (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the
benefit of the Holders, (i) with respect to the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of the
Company as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee (in the case of U.S. Government Obligations), to pay the principal amount at maturity of, premium and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment
thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
 (b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Company 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 shall confirm that, the beneficial owners (for Federal
income tax purposes) of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the
same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03
hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the beneficial owners (for Federal income tax purposes) of the outstanding Notes will
not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Notes pursuant to this Article 8 concurrently with such incurrence and the grant of
a Lien to secure such Indebtedness) or insofar as Section 6.01(g) or 6.01(h) hereof is concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; 

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under this Indenture
(other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing) or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 

  
 63 

 (f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which may be
subject to customary exceptions) to the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of the preference provisions of Section 547 of the United States Federal Bankruptcy Code; 

(g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with
the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others; 

(h) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and 
 (i) the Company shall
have paid or duly provided for payment of all amounts then due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 606 of the Base Indenture. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (b) above with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be
delivered if all Notes not therefor delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (A) have become due and payable, or (B) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company. 
 SECTION 8.05. Deposited Money and U.S.
Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 All cash and
non-callable U.S. Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the
“Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such
cash and securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the
Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government 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. 

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

  
 64 

 SECTION 8.06. Satisfaction and Discharge. 

This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or
exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture, and the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith) as to all outstanding
Notes of a series when (i) either (a) all Notes of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in
trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (b) all Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, pursuant to an optional redemption notice or otherwise, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the
entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the
Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; (ii) the Company has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture by the Company with respect to such series; and (iii) the Company has
delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series have been complied
with. 
 SECTION 8.07. Repayment to Company. 

Any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Securities deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or
then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall, subject
to compliance with applicable abandoned property law, be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and securities, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 

SECTION 8.08. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Securities
in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under
this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such cash and securities in accordance with
Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the cash and securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 SECTION
8.09. Survival. 
 The Trustee’s rights under this Article 8 shall survive termination of this Indenture or the resignation or
removal of the Trustee. 

  
 65 

 ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holder. 

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, without the consent of any Holder, may amend
or supplement this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to: 
 (a) cure any ambiguity, defect, omission, mistake or inconsistency, as
evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate; 
 (b) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of Certificated Notes or to
alter the provisions of Article 2 or Exhibit A hereof relating to the form of the Notes (including the related definitions) in a manner that does not materially adversely affect any Holder, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate; 

(c) provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders by a successor to the Company or a
Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 hereof; 
 (d) make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that
does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate; 
 (e) comply with
requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; 
 (f) provide for the issuance of
Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture; 
 (g) allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental
indenture and/or a Guarantee with respect to the Notes; provided that such supplemental indenture need only be executed by the Company, the Trustee and such additional Guarantor; 

(h) remove a Guarantor which, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, ceases to be liable in respect of the Guarantee; 

(i) make appropriate provision in connection with the appointment of a successor trustee; provided that the successor trustee is
otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of this Indenture; 
 (j) conform the text of this Indenture, the Guarantees
or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” contained in the final offering document relating to the original offering of the Notes to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision
of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate; or 
 (k) secure the Notes and the Guarantees.

 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the 

  
 66 

 
Trustee of the documents described in Section 602 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall join with the Company 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 shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that
affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes.

 Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, this Indenture (including Sections 3.05, 4.08 and 4.11 hereof), the Guarantees and the
Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer
for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 508 and 514 of the Base Indenture, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.03 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be
“outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the Company 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 602 and 903 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall join with the Company 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 shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be
rendered invalid by such tender. After an amendment or waiver under this Indenture becomes effective, the Company is required to give to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment or waiver. However, the failure to give such notice to
all the Holders, or any defect in the notice will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment or waiver. 
 After an amendment,
supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or
any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 508 and 514 of the Base Indenture, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under
this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (a)
reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

  
 67 

 (b) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of
interest, including defaulted interest, on any Note; 
 (c) reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed
maturity of any Note, or change the date on which any Note may be subject to redemption or reduce the redemption price therefor; 
 (d) make
any Notes payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; 
 (e) release any Guarantor from any and all of its obligations under its
Guarantee, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or its Guarantee; 
 (f) make any change in the provisions of this
Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes to
waive Defaults or Events of Default; 
 (g) after the Company’s obligation to purchase Notes arises thereunder, amend, change or modify
in any material respect the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control or an Asset Sale Offer in the event of an Asset Sale or modify any of the provisions or definitions with
respect thereto after a Change of Control or Asset Sale has occurred; or 
 (h) make any change to or modify the rankings of the Notes that
would adversely affect the Holders. 
 For purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have taken
any action under this Indenture, the principal amount of Notes shall be determined as of (i) if a record date has been set with respect to the taking of such action, such date or (ii) if no such date has been set, the date the taking of
such action by the Holders of such requisite principal amount is certified to the Trustee by the Company. 
 SECTION 9.03. Compliance
with Trust Indenture Act. 
 Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or
supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
 SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and
every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion thereof 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 or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as
to its Note or portion thereof if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective in accordance with its terms and
thereafter shall bind every Holder. 

  
 68 

 SECTION 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments. 

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. None of the Company nor any Guarantor may sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until its board of directors (or committee serving a similar function) approves it.
In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof and, Sections 602 and 903 of the Base Indenture) shall be fully protected in relying upon 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 and that such amended or supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company
and the Guarantors enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and that such amended or supplemental indenture complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). 

ARTICLE 10 
 GUARANTEES 

SECTION 10.01. Guarantees. 

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that Article XVI of the Base Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes. 

SECTION 10.02. Release of Guarantor. 

(a) Upon the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, exchange or other disposition (including by way of consolidation, merger or otherwise) of
such Guarantor; (b) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor (in case of clauses (a) and (b), other than a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, exchange or other disposition to the Company
or an Affiliate of the Company and as permitted by this Indenture and the Company complies with its obligations under Section 4.08 hereof and if in connection therewith the Company provides an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel to the Trustee, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transactions or release have been complied with); (c) upon the release or discharge of such Guarantor from its guarantee, if any, and
of all pledges and security, if any, granted by such Guarantor in connection with a Debt Facility, except a release or discharge by or as a result of payment under such guarantee; or (d) upon designation of a Guarantor as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, such Guarantor shall be deemed released from all obligations under this Article 11 without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. If the Company exercises its Legal
Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 hereof or if its obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with Section 8.06 hereof, each Guarantor shall be released from
all obligations under this Article 11 without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. At the request of the Company and if in connection therewith the Company provides an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel to the Trustee, each stating that all the conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the execution of such instrument have been complied with, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing
the release of a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 11.02. 
 In the event that any released Guarantor (in the case of clauses
(c) or (d) above) thereafter borrows money or guarantees Indebtedness under a Debt Facility, such former Guarantor will again provide a Guarantee. 

  
 69 

 SECTION 10.03. Contribution. 

Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations to contribution
from each Guarantor, as applicable, in an amount equal to such Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. 

ARTICLE 11 
 MISCELLANEOUS

4.125% Senior Notes due 2030 

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture referred to below unless
otherwise indicated or, if not defined in the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture referred to below. 
  

	1.	 Interest 

Central Garden & Pet Company, a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the
Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on
April 15 and October 15 of each year, or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on [ ]. 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 of this Note. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and interest on overdue installments of interest, to
the extent lawful, at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

  

	2.	 Method of Payment 

The Company will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on
April 1 or October 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day), even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except with respect to defaulted interest.
The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York or Minneapolis, Minnesota, or, at the option of the Company, payment

will accrue in respect of the delay.

Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 The Company shall be entitled, subject to its
compliance with Section 4.07 of the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture. The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof and any Additional Notes will be

Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 
 On or after October 15, 2025, the
Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of the principal amount thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date,
subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on October 15 of the

or more occasions redeem Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) originally issued at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of
principal amount) of 104.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the Redemption Date, with the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings; provided, however, that (1) at least 60% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which includes the Additional Notes, if any) originally issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (excluding Notes held, directly or indirectly,
by the Company or its Affiliates); and (2) each such redemption occurs within 90 days after the date of the closing of the related Equity Offering.

	8.	 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal and integral multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by
law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a
period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or 15 days before an Interest Payment Date. 
  

	9.	 Persons Deemed Owners

	10.	 Discharge and Defeasance 

Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the
Notes and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. government securities for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may
otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 
  

	15.	 No Recourse Against Others

Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor (other than the Company in respect of the Notes and each Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee) under the Notes, the Indenture or any Guarantee 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.
