 ARTICLE II 
 DRAG-ALONG 
 SECTION 2.1 Drag-Along
Rights in Sale Transaction. 
 (a) In the event that one or more Stockholders holding a majority of the then-issued and
outstanding shares of all classes of Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis) (the “Selling Holders”) determine to take any action that would cause a Sale Transaction to occur, the Corporation or the Selling Holders (or a designated
representative acting on behalf of the Selling Holders) will have the right to deliver written notice thereof to all other Holders of the Corporation’s Common Stock (the “Dragged Holders”). Such written notice shall be
delivered in accordance with Section 11.2, and shall contain a description of the material terms and conditions of the Sale Transaction, including without limitation the identity of the Third Party Purchaser, and the amount and form of
per share consideration to be paid by the Third Party Purchaser. 
 (b) In the event notice of a Sale Transaction is given by
the Corporation or by or on behalf of the Selling Holders to the Dragged Holders in accordance with the preceding paragraph (a) of this Section 2.1, each of the Dragged Holders shall: (i) be obligated to sell or transfer to the
Third Party Purchaser, for the same type and amount of per share consideration and on the same terms as the Selling Holders, upon consummation of the Sale Transaction, the portion of such Dragged Holder’s shares of Common Stock (free and clear
of any liens and duly endorsed for transfer, or accompanied by duly endorsed stock powers) corresponding to the portion of the shares of Common Stock held by the Selling Holders (in the aggregate) that are proposed to be included in such Sale
Transaction; (ii) be required to vote such Dragged Holder’s shares 

  

 7 

 
of Common Stock, whether by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise, in favor of the Sale Transaction; (iii) enter into agreements with the Third Party
Purchaser on terms substantially identical to those applicable to the Selling Holders (including, without limitation, with respect to representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions, escrow agreements and other provisions and
agreements relating to such Sale Transaction as requested by the Third Party Purchaser), so long as the terms of any such agreements are not more onerous (on a per share basis) with respect to the Dragged Holders than with respect to the Selling
Holders; (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents necessary to effectuate the Sale Transaction; (v) waive any appraisal or dissenters rights with respect to such Sale Transaction; (vi) be required to effectuate
the allocation and distribution of the aggregate consideration upon the Sale Transaction as set forth below; and (vii) take any and all reasonably necessary action in furtherance of the foregoing. The Corporation and the Dragged Holders shall
not take any action prejudicial to or inconsistent with such Sale Transaction. In the event that the Sale Transaction involves 100% of the then-issued and outstanding Common Stock and would give rise to appraisal rights under the Delaware General
Corporation Law, then, at the written election of the Corporation or the Selling Holders (or their designated representative), all shares of Common Stock held by any Dragged Holder that have not been voted in favor of the adoption of the applicable
merger agreement (including by virtue of no such vote being required), shall, immediately prior to consummation of the Sale Transaction, be transferred to the Selling Holders (on a pro rata basis), the Third Party Purchaser or another entity
(in each case as designated by the Selling Holders), and each such Dragged Holder shall receive, in consideration for such transfer of such shares, an amount equal to the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof in connection with the Sale
Transaction. In connection with any Sale Transaction, no Dragged Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties (except as they relate to such Dragged Holder’s ownership of and authority to sell Common Stock) or covenants,
or to provide any indemnity, except for (x) indemnification related to breaches of the foregoing representations and warranties and (y) any other indemnity agreed to by the Selling Holders (other than relating to a breach of
representations and warranties by such Selling Holders); provided, that (A) in the case of clause (x) above, each Dragged Holder’s obligation shall be on a pro rata basis in proportion to its interest in the Corporation and
(B) in no event shall any Dragged Holder be held liable under either clause (x) or (y) above for any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Dragged Holder in connection with any such Sale Transaction. 
 (c) Upon consummation of the Sale Transaction, or as otherwise expressly provided in the preceding paragraph (b), all the Selling Holders
and the Dragged Holders shall receive, with respect to their shares of Common Stock, the same proportion of the aggregate consideration from such Sale Transaction that such holders would have received if such aggregate consideration had been
distributed by the Corporation in complete liquidation pursuant to the rights and preferences set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation. 
 (d) Each Selling Holder and Dragged Holder will bear its pro rata share (based upon the number of shares of Common Stock held by such holder) of the costs of 

  

 8 

 
any Sale Transaction to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all such holders and are not otherwise paid by the Corporation or the Third
Party Purchaser. Costs incurred by such holders on their own behalf will not be considered costs of the Sale Transaction. 
 (e) The Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its officers, employees, agents, contractors and others under its control to cooperate in any proposed Sale Transaction and not to take any action which might impede any
such Sale Transaction; provided, however, that in the case of a Sale Transaction involving the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the consolidated assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, the Board of Directors
shall act in accordance with its fiduciary duties. Pending the completion of any proposed Sale Transaction, the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to operate in the ordinary course of business and to maintain all existing business
relationships in good standing. 
 (f) The Selling Holders shall have power and authority to cause the Corporation to enter
into a Sale Transaction and to take any and all such further action in connection therewith as the Selling Holders may deem necessary or appropriate in order to consummate or abandon any such Sale Transaction; provided, however, that
in the case of a Sale Transaction involving the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the consolidated assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, the Board of Directors shall act in accordance with its fiduciary duties; provided,
further, however, that to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation and the Selling Holders shall have no liability if any such Sale Transaction is not consummated for any reason. Subject to the provisions of this
Section 2.1, the Selling Holders, in exercising their rights under this Section 2.1(f), shall have complete discretion over the terms and conditions of any Sale Transaction effected thereby, including, without limitation,
price, payment terms, conditions to closing, representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, indemnification, holdbacks and escrows. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Selling Holders may authorize and cause the
Corporation or any now or hereafter created subsidiary to execute such agreements, documents, applications, authorizations, registration statements and instruments (collectively “Drag-Along Documents”) as they may deem necessary or
appropriate in connection with any Sale Transaction, and each third person who is party to any such Drag-Along Documents may rely on the authority vested in the Selling Holders under this Section 2.1 for all purposes. 
 (g) Subject to Section 11.12, the provisions of this Section 2.1 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation
of, the provisions of Section 7.1 of the Certificate of Incorporation. 
 ARTICLE III 
 TAG-ALONG TRANSACTION 
 SECTION 3.1
Tag-Along Rights in a Tag-Along Transaction. 
  

 9 

 (a) In the event that one or more Stockholders (the “Initiating
Holders”) desire to effect a Tag-Along Transaction, the Initiating Holders (or a designated representative acting on their behalf) shall first give written notice (a “Sale Notice”) to all other Holders (the
“Tag-Along Sellers”), with a copy to the Corporation, in accordance with Section 11.2, offering the Tag-Along Sellers the option to participate in such Tag-Along Transaction on the terms and conditions set forth in the
Sale Notice (and, in any event, on the same terms and conditions as the Initiating Holders). The Sale Notice shall include the names of the parties to the proposed Tag-Along Transaction, a summary of the material terms and conditions of the proposed
Tag-Along Transaction, and the proposed amount and form of consideration and the terms and conditions of payment contemplated by the proposed Tag-Along Transaction. Each Tag-Along Seller may, by written notice to the Initiating Holders (or their
designated representative) delivered within ten Business Days after delivery of the Sale Notice, elect to sell shares in such Tag-Along Transaction, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice, which terms and conditions shall be the
same as those on which the Initiating Holders’ shares of Common Stock are to be sold (subject to any rights, privileges and preferences (including dividend rights) to which Holders are entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation);
provided, however, that if such proposed transferee desires to purchase an amount of Common Stock that is less than the aggregate amount of Common Stock proposed to be transferred by the Initiating Holders and any Tag-Along Sellers electing
to participate in the Tag-Along Transaction, then the Initiating Holders may elect either (A) to terminate such Tag-Along Transaction with respect to the Initiating Holders and each Tag-Along Seller or (B) to sell to such transferee, and
upon such election to sell, each Tag-Along Seller shall be permitted to sell to such transferee, up to that number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Initiating Holders or electing Tag-Along Sellers, as the case may be, equal to the product of
(x) the total number of shares of Common Stock to be acquired by the transferee in the proposed Tag-Along Transaction and (y) such Initiating Holder’s or Tag-Along Seller’s proportionate percentage of the total number of
then-issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by the Initiating Holders and electing Tag-Along Sellers. 
 (b) In no
event shall any Tag-Along Seller have any rights under this Section 3.1 or otherwise with respect to a sale by any Initiating Holders of any debt or equity securities of the Corporation other than the Common Stock. In connection with any
Tag-Along Transaction, no Tag-Along Seller shall be required to make any representations or warranties (except as they relate to such Tag-Along Seller’s ownership of and authority to sell Common Stock) or covenants, or to provide any indemnity,
except for (x) indemnification related to breaches of the foregoing representations and warranties and (y) any other indemnity agreed to by the Initiating Holders (other than relating to a breach of representations and warranties by such
Initiating Holders); provided, that (A) in the case of clause (x) above, each Tag-Along Seller’s obligation shall be on a pro rata basis in proportion to its interest in the Corporation and (B) in no event shall any
Tag-Along Seller be held liable under either clause (x) or (y) above for any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Tag-Along Seller in connection with any such Tag-Along Transaction. The election by any Tag-Along Seller to
sell or not to sell all or any portion of such Tag-Along Seller’s Common Stock in any Tag-Along Transaction shall not adversely affect such Tag-Along Seller’s right to participate in any future Tag-Along Transaction. 
  

 10 

 (c) Upon consummation of the sale of any Common Stock pursuant to clause (a) of this
Section 3.1, each Initiating Holder and Tag-Along Seller shall deliver at such closing, against payment of the purchase price therefor, certificates or other documentation governing the terms of any such Common Stock (or other evidence
thereof reasonably acceptable to the transferee of such Common Stock) representing their Common Stock to be sold, duly endorsed for Transfer or accompanied by duly endorsed stock powers, evidence of good title to the Common Stock to be sold, the
absence of liens, encumbrances and adverse claims with respect thereto and such other documents as are deemed reasonably necessary by the Initiating Holders and the Corporation for the proper Transfer of such Common Stock on the books of the
Corporation. 
 (d) Subject to Section 11.12, the provisions of this Section 3.1 shall be in addition
to, and not in limitation of, the provisions of Section 7.2 of the Certificate of Incorporation. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS 
 SECTION 4.1
Preemptive Rights. 
 (a) The Corporation shall not sell or issue to any Person (including any then-current
stockholder) (a “Preemptive Purchaser”), any additional shares of Class A Common Stock, or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock, or options, warrants or rights carrying any right to
purchase Class A Common Stock (the “New Securities”) (other than pursuant to an Excluded Issuance), unless the Corporation first submits written notice (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”) to each holder, or group
of Affiliated holders, of then-issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock representing in the aggregate 2% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (a “Preemptive
Stockholder”) identifying the terms of the New Securities (including the price, number or aggregate principal amount and type of securities, and all other material terms) and offers to each Preemptive Stockholder the opportunity to purchase
a portion of the New Securities (a “Pro Rata Portion”) on terms and conditions, including price, not less favorable to the Preemptive Stockholder than those on which the Corporation proposes to sell or issue the New Securities to
the Preemptive Purchaser. A Preemptive Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion shall be equal to (x) the total number of New Securities subject to the sale or issuance multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the
number of then-issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock owned by the Preemptive Stockholder, and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Subject
to providing the Preemptive Rights Notice in accordance with this Section 4.1(a), the Corporation may proceed to consummate a sale or issuance of New Securities to the Preemptive Purchaser, so long as the Corporation subsequently gives
effect to the right of each Preemptive Stockholder to purchase its respective Pro Rata Portion of such New Securities. 
  

 11 

 (b) The Corporation’s offer to a Preemptive Stockholder shall remain open for a
period of 20 days after the Preemptive Rights Notice is delivered in accordance with Section 11.2, during which time the Preemptive Stockholder may accept such offer by written notice to the Corporation setting forth the number of such
New Securities to be purchased by such Preemptive Stockholder, up to a maximum amount equal to such Preemptive Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion. 
 (c) In the event that a Preemptive Stockholder declines to exercise the option to purchase its Pro Rata Portion of any issuance of New Securities, such Preemptive Stockholder shall be deemed to have permanently waived
the preemptive rights granted under this Section 4.1 and shall no longer be eligible to participate in any future issuance of New Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1. 
 (d) Subject to Section 11.12, the provisions of this Section 4.1 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation
of, the provisions of Section 7.3 of the Certificate of Incorporation. 
 ARTICLE V 
 CO-SALE RIGHTS 
 SECTION 5.1

 (a) In the event that any holder or holders of the Corporation’s Class A Common Stock

(y) an Initial Stockholder or an Affiliate of such Initial Stockholder) and, following such sale or Transfer, such transferee (the “Nonparty Buyer”), together with its Affiliates, would beneficially own shares of Class A
Common Stock entitling the Nonparty Buyer and such Affiliates to exercise a majority of the voting power represented by all the outstanding Class A Common Stock (a “Co-Sale Transaction”), the Nonparty Buyer shall cause written
notice (the “Co-Sale Notice”) of such proposed Co-Sale Transaction to be given to the Corporation and each holder of Class A Common Stock other than the Transferring Holders (each such other holder, a “Co-Sale
Offeree”) not less than 30 days prior to consummation of such Co-Sale Transaction. The Co-Sale Notice shall include the number of shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be Transferred in the Co-Sale Transaction, the name and

the date of the Co-Sale Notice, contemporaneously with the consummation of the Co-Sale Transaction, at the Co-Sale Price and on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Co-Sale Notice, which terms and conditions shall be the same as those on
which the Transferring Holders’ issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are being sold. 
 (c) Upon
consummation of the sale of any Class A Common Stock pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 5.1, each Transferring Holder and Co-Sale Offeree participating in such Co-Sale Transaction shall deliver, against payment of the
Co-Sale Price, certificates evidencing such Class A Common Stock (or other evidence thereof reasonably acceptable to the Nonparty Buyer) to be sold, duly endorsed for Transfer or accompanied by duly endorsed stock powers, and such other

consummation of the Co-Sale Transaction involving such Nonparty Buyer. 
 (e) Subject to Section 11.12, the
provisions of this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, the provisions of Section 7.4 of the Certificate of Incorporation. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 BOARD OF DIRECTORS 
 SECTION 6.1 Election of Michael Keough. Each Stockholder agrees that, for so long as Michael Keough is serving as the President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Corporation (the “CEO”), at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation at which directors are to be elected (or any solicitation of written consents in lieu of such meeting), such Stockholder shall vote
all of its shares of Common Stock to elect Michael Keough as a director of the Corporation; provided, however, that (i) in the event the employment of Michael Keough as CEO is terminated (unless otherwise determined by the Board
of Directors in its discretion), Michael Keough will cease to be a director (and each Stockholder shall take any necessary action to cause Michael Keough to be removed as a director under such circumstances) and (ii) in the event of a vacancy
on the Board of Directors as a result of Michael Keough’s termination, death, resignation or other cause, an individual shall be chosen to serve as Michael Keough’s replacement on the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 8.5
of the Certificate of Incorporation. 
 SECTION 6.2 Board Observers. Each Effective Date Signatory that, individually or together with
its Affiliates, received more than 15% of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued as of the Effective Date pursuant to the Plan, and continues (together with its Affiliates) to 

  

 13 

 
hold more than 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (each, a “15% Holder”), shall have the non-transferable
right to appoint one representative (an “Observer”) to attend (whether in person or via teleconference) meetings of the Board of Directors as an observer and to participate in all discussions during such meetings; provided,
however, that the Observer shall not be entitled to vote on any matters upon which the Board of Directors shall vote. Subject to the execution of a confidentiality agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D by such 15% Holder
and its Observer, the Corporation shall (i) send to the Observer the notice of the time and place of each meeting of the Board of Directors in the same manner and at the same time as it shall send such notice to the members of the Board of
Directors and (ii) provide to the Observer copies of all notices, reports, minutes and consents (collectively, “Board Materials”) in the manner and at the same time as they are provided to the Board of Directors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may deny an Observer access to any meeting of the Board of Directors, or any potion thereof, and may deny an Observer any or all Board Materials, if the Board of Directors (a) has been
advised by outside legal counsel that such denial is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege, or (b) determines that access to such meeting and/or provision of such Board Materials would result in a conflict of interest,
and so notifies the Observer in writing of the specific conflict of interest. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 STOCKHOLDER INFORMATION RIGHTS 
 SECTION 7.1 Stockholder Information Rights. 
 (a) Stockholders shall have the right, upon written request
made to the Secretary of the Corporation, subject to delivery to such Secretary of a completed and executed questionnaire and confidentiality undertaking from such Stockholder in the form attached to the Certificate of Incorporation as Exhibit A (or
such other form as may be approved by the Board of Directors and available from time to time from the Secretary of the Corporation), to receive: 
 (i) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Corporation, an annual report containing (x) audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for such fiscal year (including balance

accounting firm and prepared in accordance with GAAP, and (y) a management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”), in narrative form, with respect to such financial
statements (such MD&A to be substantially similar to that which would be required to be included in an Annual Report on Form 10-K if the Corporation were an SEC registrant); 
 (ii) in the case of (x) any Initial Stockholder or (y) any other Stockholder that, individually or with its Affiliates, is a
record owner (or establishes to the Corporation’s reasonable satisfaction that it is a beneficial owner) of shares of Common Stock representing at least 2% of the issued and 

  

 14 

 
outstanding shares of Common Stock (treated as a single class), within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each year (or more
frequently at the Board of Directors’ option), a report containing (x) condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for such quarter and the year-to-date period and the comparable period of the prior fiscal year
(including balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows as would be required to be included in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q if the Corporation had a class of Common Stock registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act),
prepared in accordance with GAAP, and (y) an MD&A, in narrative form, with respect to such financial statements (such MD&A to be substantially similar to that which would be required to be included in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q if
the Corporation were an SEC registrant); 
 (iii) in the case of (x) any Initial Stockholder or (y) any other
Stockholder that, individually or with its Affiliates, is a record owner (or establishes to the Corporation’s reasonable satisfaction that it is a beneficial owner) of shares of Common Stock representing at least 2% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (treated as a single class), concurrently with any report furnished pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, a brief description of the nature of the business of the Corporation and its products and services
and any other information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; 
 (iv) in the case
of any Stockholder that, individually or with its Affiliates, is a record owner (or establishes to the Corporation’s reasonable satisfaction that it is a beneficial owner) of shares of Common Stock representing at least 2% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (treated as a single class), written notice of the occurrence of any event that would be required to be reported by the Corporation on Form 8-K if the Corporation had a class of Common Stock registered with the SEC
under the Exchange Act, together with all information relating to such event that would be required to be included in such Form 8-K, within seven days of the occurrence of such event; and 
 (v) in the case of any Stockholder that, individually or with its Affiliates, is a record owner (or establishes to the Corporation’s
reasonable satisfaction that it is a beneficial owner) of shares of Common Stock representing at least 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (treated as a single class), upon reasonable prior written notice delivered to the
Corporation by such Stockholder, a complete record of the stockholders of the Corporation, arranged by class of shares and, within each class, in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares of each class of
Common Stock registered in the name of such stockholder, such record to be made available by the Corporation either on a reasonably accessible electronic network or during normal business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation;

  

 15 

 
provided, however, that (i) the Corporation will not be required by clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this
Section 7.1 to deliver any reports that are more extensive or more detailed than those that would be required if the Corporation had a class of Common Stock registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act, and (ii) the requirements
of this Section 7.1 shall cease to apply at such time as the Corporation has a class of Common Stock registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act. 
 (b) Subject to Section 11.12, the provisions of this Section 7.1 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation
of, the provisions of Section 5.2.5 of the Certificate of Incorporation. 
 SECTION 7.2 Information Concerning Number of Stockholders
of Record. 
 (a) In the event the Corporation determines that the number of holders of record (as such concept is
understood for purposes of Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and any relevant rules promulgated thereunder) of the Corporation’s Common Stock exceeds 450, the Corporation shall, as promptly as practicable thereafter, cause written notice
thereof to be provided to each such holder of record. 
 (b) Subject to Section 11.12, the provisions of this
Section 7.2 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, the provisions of Section 5.2.6 of the Certificate of Incorporation.

of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 SECTION 11.12 Conflicts. In the event that any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement conflict with any of the terms or provisions of
the Certificate of Incorporation, the terms and provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation shall control.

 BOARD OBSERVER 
 CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT 
 [date] 
 [NAME OF BOARD OBSERVER] 
 [ADDRESS] 
  

	Re:	Confidentiality Agreement 

 Sir or Madam: 
 You, in your capacity as a Board of Directors observer of Caraustar Industries, Inc. (the “Corporation”), may be receiving certain
confidential, business, financial and/or proprietary information, including, without limitation, Board materials, both in writing and orally, relating to the Corporation (“Confidential Information”). For purposes of this agreement,
the term “Confidential Information” shall include all notes, analyses, compilations, interpretations or other documents prepared by you which contain, reflect or are based upon, in whole or in part, the Confidential Information and related
information furnished to you. As a condition to the Confidential Information being furnished to you, you agree not to disclose to any unauthorized person or entity (with the exception of [NAME OF 15% HOLDER] (the “Holder”) and its
representatives and agents) any information relating to the Confidential Information, whether or not such information is embedded in writing or other physical form, without the Corporation’s prior written consent unless and to the extent that
such information is or becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of your fault or the fault of any other person or entity known to you to be bound by a duty of confidentiality to the Corporation.

 In the event that you are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal
proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose the Confidential Information, you shall provide the Corporation with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that the Corporation may seek a
protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this letter agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the Corporation, you are nonetheless, advised
by counsel that you are legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, you may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such tribunal only that portion of
the Confidential Information which such counsel advises you is legally required to be disclosed. 
 If at any time you cease to be a Board
observer, you will promptly return to the Corporation or the Holder any Confidential Information (and all copies thereof) furnished to you by or on behalf of the Corporation pursuant hereto. In such event, all other information relating 

 
to the Confidential Information prepared by you shall be given to the Holder. Notwithstanding the return of the Confidential Information, you will continue
to be bound by your obligations of confidentiality and other obligations hereunder. 
 It is further understood and agreed that money damages
would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this letter agreement by you and that the Corporation shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including an injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach. 
 [The remainder of the page has been intentionally left blank] 

 Please confirm your agreement with the foregoing by signing and returning one copy of this letter
agreement to the undersigned, whereupon this letter agreement shall become a binding agreement between you and the Corporation.

$85,000,000 (plus the principal amount of any additional Notes issued in payment of PIK interest pursuant to the terms of Section 4.01 hereof). The Notes shall mature on August 15, 2014. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication shall be substantially in the form included in Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, exchange rule or
usage in addition to those set forth on Exhibit A. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute a part of this Indenture, and the Company, the Guarantors and the
Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. To the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this
Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 (b) Form of Notes. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit
A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note shall represent such aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein, and each shall provide that it shall represent the 

  

 31 

 
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented
thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions thereof, transfers of interests therein and payments of PIK Interest. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase
or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with written instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by
Section 2.06 hereof. 
 (c) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.01(c) shall apply only to Global Notes deposited with the
Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary. Participants and Indirect Participants shall have no rights under this Indenture or any Global Note with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as custodian for
the Depositary, and the 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 the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants or
Indirect Participants, the Applicable Procedures or the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. 
 (d) Certificated Securities. 
 (i) The Company shall issue Definitive Notes to all owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes if: (1) at any time the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary for the Global
Notes or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be eligible to act as such because it ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company shall not have appointed a successor Depositary within
120 days after the Company receive such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility or (2) the Company, at its option, determines that the Global Notes shall be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to
the Trustee. Upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in clauses (1) or (2) above, the Company shall execute, and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, Definitive Notes, in authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes. Upon the exchange of a Global Note for Definitive Notes,
such Global Note shall be cancelled by the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee. 
 (ii) The Company shall issue
Definitive Notes to a Holder of a Global Note (or such party designated by such Holder) in exchange for such Global Note, upon written request from a Holder of a Global Note if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
Upon the occurrence of the foregoing, the Company shall execute, and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, Definitive Notes, in authorized denominations, in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the 

  

 32 

 
Global Note or portion of a Global Note being exchanged. Upon the exchange of all or a portion of a Global Note for Definitive Notes, such Global Note shall
be cancelled or correspondingly reduced by the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee. In the event that the Definitive Notes are not issued to a party designated by such Holder promptly after the Company has received a request from such
Holder, the Company expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to this Indenture, the right of any such party designated by such Holder to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global
Note that represents such party’s beneficial interest as if such Definitive Notes had been issued. 
 (iii) Definitive
Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such
Definitive Notes to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Definitive Notes are so registered or to the Depositary. 
 Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. 
 (a) One Officer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Company by manual
or facsimile signature. 
 (b) If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated by
the Trustee, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. 
 (c) A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the
Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 (d) The Trustee shall
initially authenticate the Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $85,000,000 upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company (“Authentication
Order”). The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver any additional Notes (or increases in the principal amount of any Notes) as a result of a payment of PIK Interest, for an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order
for such additional Notes (or increases in the principal amount of any Notes) issued or increased hereunder (so long as permitted by the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.09), for original issue upon an
Authentication Order (other than as provided in Section 2.07). Each such written order shall specify the amount of the Notes (or the increase in principal amount) to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes (or the increase in principal
amount) are to be authenticated. 
 (e) On any Interest Payment Date on which the Company pays PIK Interest with respect to a Global Note in
accordance with Section 4.01(b), the Trustee shall, after receipt of an Authentication Order, increase the principal amount of such Global Note by an amount equal to the interest payable, rounded up to the nearest $1.00, for the relevant
interest period on the principal amount of such Global Note as of the relevant record date for such Interest Payment Date, to the credit of the Holders on such record date, pro rata in accordance with their interests, and an adjustment shall be made
on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the 

  

 33 

 
Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, to reflect such increase. On any Interest Payment Date on
which the Company pays PIK Interest by issuing additional Notes, the principal amount of any such Notes issued to any Holder, for the relevant interest period as of the relevant record date for such Interest Payment Date, shall be rounded up to the
nearest $1.00. Each additional Note shall be an additional obligation of the Company and the Guarantors and shall be governed by, and entitled to the benefits of, this Indenture and shall be subject to the terms of this Indenture (including the
Guarantees), shall rank pari passu with and be subject to the same terms (including the rate of interest from time to time payable thereon) as all other Notes (except, as the case may be, with respect to the issuance date and aggregate principal
amount), and shall have the benefit of the Liens securing the Notes. 
 (f) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the
Company to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by
such agent. An authenticating agent shall have the same rights as the Trustee to deal with Holders, the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. 
 (g) The Notes shall be issued in integral multiples of $1.00 (in each case with a minimum denomination of at least $1.00). 
 Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 (a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register (the “Security
Register”) of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying
Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.
If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. Either the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 (b) The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

 (c) The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global
Notes, and the Trustee hereby agrees so to initially act. 
 (d) The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any
Registrar or Paying Agent (that is not also the Trustee). The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. 
  

 34 

 Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 
 The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of
Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default
continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all funds held by it relating to the Notes to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all funds held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the
Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for such funds. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the
benefit of the Holders all funds held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any Event of Default under Sections 6.01(j) or (k) hereof relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.05. Holder Lists. 
 The
Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the
Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date or such shorter time
as the Trustee may allow, as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a). 
 Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. 
 (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global
Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor
Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes as provided in Section 2.01(d)(i). Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in
Sections 2.07 and Section 2.10 hereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Sections 2.07 or
Section 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in Section 2.01(d) and this Section 2.06(a), however,
beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c) hereof. Neither the Company nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by a Holder of a Global Note or the Depositary in
identifying the beneficial owners of Notes, except as a result of the Company’s or Trustee’s own negligent action, negligent failure to act or own willful misconduct, as the case may be. In the absence of bad faith on their part, the
Company and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on written instructions from the Holder of a Global Note or the Depositary for all purposes under this Indenture. 
  

 35 

 (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange
of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in Global Notes may be subject to restrictions on transfer
to the extent required by the Securities Act. 
 Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this
Section 2.06(b). 
 (c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Notes. The holder of a beneficial interest in
a Global Note may exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note or transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note only upon the occurrence of the events described in
Section 2.01(d)(ii), in which event such owner of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Depositary (or shall cause the appropriate Participant to direct the Depositary) in accordance with the Applicable Procedures to instruct the Trustee
to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Global Note by the applicable amount of such exchange or transfer and to issue in exchange therefore a Definitive Note or Notes in such aggregate amount and registered as provided in such instruction;
and upon the Trustee’s receipt of such instruction from the Depositary (or from the applicable Participant or beneficial owner pursuant to the Depositary’s proxy procedures), the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the
applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in both cases in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, to the Person
designated in such instruction a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) shall be registered in such name or names and in such
authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Registrar through instructions from the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee shall mail or deliver such Definitive
Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. 
 (d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial
Interests. A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any
time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer together with surrender of the Definitive Note to be exchanged or transferred, (and, accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer as provided in Section 2.06(e)
hereof, and subject to the Applicable Procedures), the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof.

 (e) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such
Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.06(e), the Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder shall present or
surrender to the Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer 

  

 36 

 
in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. In addition, the requesting Holder must
provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, reasonably requested by the Company to demonstrate compliance by such Holder with applicable law. 
 (f) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (II) THIS GLOBAL
NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (III) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE INDENTURE AND (IV) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE
TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE ISSUER. 
 UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN
WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE
DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. 
 UNLESS THIS NOTE IS
PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME
OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE
OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.” 
 (g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed,
repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such 

  

 37 

 
Global Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such
cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes
represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being
exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the
Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 
 (h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and
Exchanges. 
 (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute Global Notes and
Definitive Notes, and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon the Company’s order (including an Authentication Order given pursuant to Section 2.02) or at the Registrar’s request (in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Notes pursuant to this Section 2.06). 
 (ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a
beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in
connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.08, 3.09, 3.10, 4.13, 4.19, 4.22 and 9.05 hereof) (in which event the Company will be responsible
for the payment of such taxes). 
 (iii) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration
of transfer or exchange. 
 (iv) Neither the Registrar nor the Company shall be required (A) to issue, to register the
transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection,
(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a
Regular Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 (v) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a
transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for
all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  

 38 

 (vi) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with
the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof. 
 (vii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be
submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 
 (viii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any purchase or transfer complies with the registration provisions
of or exemptions from the Securities Act or other state, federal securities laws that may be applicable; provided, however, that if a certificate is specifically required by the express terms of this Section 2.06 to be delivered
to a Trustee by a purchaser or required by the express terms of this Section 2.06 to be delivered to a Trustee by a purchaser or transferee of a Note, the Trustee shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether it
complies on its face with the requirements of this Section 2.06 and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if such transfer does not comply with such terms. 
 Section 2.07. Replacement Notes. 
 If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in
accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note. If required by the Trustee or the Company, the Holder of such Note shall provide indemnity that is sufficient, in the judgment of (i) the Trustee, to
protect the Trustee or (ii) the Company, to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent, from any loss that any of them may suffer in connection with such replacement. If required by the Company, such Holder shall
reimburse the Company for its reasonable expenses in connection with such replacement. 
 Every replacement Note issued in accordance with
this Section 2.07 shall be the valid obligation of the Company, evidencing the same debt as the destroyed, lost or stolen Note, and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly
issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. 
 (a) The Notes outstanding at any time shall be the entire principal amount of Notes represented by all of the Global Notes and Definitive Notes
authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those subject to reductions in beneficial interests effected by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof, and those described in
this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note shall not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. 
  

 39 

 (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it shall cease to be outstanding unless
the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 (c) If the principal amount of any
Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it shall cease to be outstanding and interest on it shall cease to accrue. 
 (d) If
the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date, a Purchase Date or a maturity date, funds sufficient to pay in full Notes payable on that date, then on and after that
date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09. Treasury Notes.

 In determining the Required Noteholders or otherwise whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Subsidiary 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, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
 Section 2.10. Temporary
Notes. 
 Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and, upon receipt of an Authentication
Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary
Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes or Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes, as applicable. 
 Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. Upon sole direction of the Company,
the Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act or other
applicable laws). Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Company from time to time upon request. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation. 
  

 40 

 Section 2.12. Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. 
 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, they shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful,
interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be
less than 10 days prior to the related Interest Payment Date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the
Company) shall send or cause to be sent to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related Interest Payment Date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 Section 2.13. CUSIP or ISIN Numbers. 
 The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or Offers to
Purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or
notice of an Offer to Purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or Offer to Purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The
Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers. 
 Section 2.14.
Record Date. 
 The record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Notes entitled to vote or consent to any action

 Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Repurchased. 
 If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or repurchased at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes for redemption or repurchase among the
Holders of the Notes as follows: (1) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or (2) if the Notes are not
listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption or repurchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or repurchased
shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 days (15 days in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 3.08 or 3.09) nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or repurchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding
Notes not previously called for redemption or repurchase. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected
for redemption or repurchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or repurchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or repurchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral
multiples thereof, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or repurchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not an integral multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or repurchased. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or repurchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or repurchase. 
 Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. 
 At least 30 days (15 days in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 3.08 or 3.09) but not more than 60 days prior to a redemption or repurchase date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of
redemption or repurchase to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed or repurchased at such Holder’s registered address appearing in the Security Register; provided, however, that redemption or repurchase notices may be mailed more
than 60 days prior to a redemption or repurchase date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (a) the redemption date; 
 (b) the redemption price (the appropriate calculation of which shall be set forth
in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the redemption date); 
 (c) if
any Note is being redeemed or repurchased 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, if applicable, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed or unpurchased portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; 
 (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

  

 42 

 (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 applicable section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being
redeemed; and 
 (h) that no representation is made as to the correctness of the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers, 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 the
Company’s expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 35 days (20 days in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 3.08 or 3.09) (or such shorter period as may be allowed by the
Trustee), prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice (in the name and at the expense of the Company) and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in this
Section 3.03. 
 Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 
 Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption shall become irrevocably due and payable on
the redemption date at the redemption price; provided, that any defect in or failure to give notice in accordance with Section 3.03 shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Note taken in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. 
 Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

 On or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on any redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent
money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and, if applicable, accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the
redemption date, return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed.

 If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue
on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for purchase or redemption in accordance with Section 2.08(d) hereof, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to
the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be
so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any
interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 
  

 43 

 Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. 
 Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate

 Section 3.07. Optional Redemption. 
 (a) The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, from time to time, at
the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the right of Holders of record on the

Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. 
 Section 3.08. Mandatory Redemption with Available Cash. 
 If the Company has Excess Available Cash on the Available Cash Determination Date, the Company shall apply an amount equal to such Excess Available Cash
to redeem Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Within 15 days after the Available Cash Determination Date, the Company shall deliver to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the amount of Excess Available Cash, if any, on the Available Cash Determination Date. The Redemption Date for redemptions under this Section 3.08 shall be thirty (30) days following the
Available Cash Determination Date. Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

applicable (each an “Excess Cash Flow Determination Date”), the Company shall apply an amount equal to 75% of the amount of such Excess Cash Flow (to the extent not used to reduce amounts outstanding 

  

 44 

 
under the Credit Facility) to redeem Notes, at a redemption price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the date of redemption. At least 15 days prior to each Excess Cash Flow Payment Date, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the amount of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the six-month period ending
on the immediately preceding Excess Cash Flow Determination Date, the amount of such Excess Cash Flow applied to reduce amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and the net amount of Excess Cash Flow to be applied to redeem Notes. The
Redemption Date for redemptions under this Section 3.09 shall be the Excess Cash Flow Payment Date following the applicable Excess Cash Flow Determination Date. Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. 
 Section 3.10. Offer To Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

 (b) The Company shall
commence the Offer to Purchase by sending, by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register, a notice the terms of which shall govern the Offer to Purchase stating:

 (i) that the Offer to Purchase is being made pursuant to this Section 3.10 and Section 4.13 or 4.22, as the case
may be; 
 (ii) the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.13 or 4.22, as the case may
be (the “Offer Amount”), the offer price set forth in Section 4.13 or 4.22, as applicable, the Offer Period and the Purchase Date (each as defined below); 
 (iii) except as provided in clause (ix), that all Notes timely tendered and not withdrawn shall be accepted for payment; 
 (iv) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest; 
 (v) 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 on and after the Purchase Date; 
 (vi) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Offer
to Purchase may elect to have Notes purchased in integral multiples of $1,000 only, unless such Holder is electing to have all of its Notes purchased and such Notes are in an amount less than an integral multiple of $1,000; 
 (vii) 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 

  

 45 

 
transfer, to the Company, the Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice before the close of business
on the third Business Day before the Purchase Date; 
 (viii) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the

the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing such Holder’s election to have such Note purchased; 
 (ix) that if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (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); 
 (x) that Holders whose Notes were purchased 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); and 
 (xi) any other procedures the Holders must follow in order to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) for payment and the procedures that
Holders must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender Notes (or portions thereof) for payment. 
 (c) The Offer to Purchase shall
remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days but no more than 30 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five
(5) Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company shall purchase 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. The Company shall notify all Holders of the results of the Offer to Purchase on or as soon as practicable following the Purchase Date.

deliver to each tendering Holder the offer price as set forth in Section 4.13 or 4.22, as applicable, for such Holder’s Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. In the event that any portion of the Notes surrendered is
not purchased by the Company, the Company shall promptly execute and issue a new Note in a principal amount equal to such unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered, and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02
hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) such new Note to such Holder.

Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. 
 (g) The Company shall
comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the Offer to Purchase.
To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with Sections 4.13 or 4.22, as applicable, this Section 3.10 or other provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with applicable securities laws and
regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Sections 4.13 or 4.22, as applicable, this Section 3.10 or such other provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 (h) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.10, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be made in accordance with the

 ARTICLE IV 
 COVENANTS 
 Section 4.01. Payment of Notes. 
 (a) The Company shall calculate and pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner
provided in this Indenture and the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and cash interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. New York time on the due
date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. Such Paying Agent shall return to the Company promptly, and in any event, no later
than two (2) Business Days following the date of payment, any money (including accrued interest) that exceeds such amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest paid on the Notes. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday in New York City,
payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the intervening period. 
  

 47 

 (b) With respect to interest on the Notes for a semiannual period due on an Interest Payment Date, the
Company may elect either (i) to pay interest due on the Notes on such Interest Payment Date by payment of cash interest for such semiannual period at a rate of 10% per annum or (ii) to pay the interest due on the Notes on such
Interest Payment Date by payment of PIK Interest for such semi-annual period at the rate of 15% per annum; provided, however, the interest rate payable on the Notes with respect to any portion of an interest period during which an
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b)) shall have occurred and be continuing shall be 12% per annum, if paid in cash, or 17% per annum, if paid in PIK Interest. If the Company elects
to pay PIK Interest on any Interest Payment Date it must deliver, not less than 45 days prior to such Interest Payment Date, an Authentication Order to the Trustee specifying the aggregate amount of PIK Interest to be paid through increases in the
Global Note and through the issuance of additional Notes; provided, however, the Company shall deliver an updated Authentication Order on the day preceding an Interest Payment Date to the extent modifications in the amount of PIK
Interest to be paid are needed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture due to the continuation or cessation of an Event of Default. Following such election, on the relevant Interest Payment Date the Trustee shall record increases in the Global
Note and authenticate and deliver additional Notes, as appropriate, in the aggregate principal amounts required to pay the PIK Interest then due. The Company shall deliver an Authentication Order to the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.2
hereof upon payment of PIK Interest through the issuance of additional Notes. PIK Interest paid in accordance with this Section 4.01 shall be considered paid on the due date. The Company’s failure to deliver advance notice to the Trustee
in accordance with this paragraph shall be deemed an irrevocable election to pay interest in cash on the upcoming Interest Payment Date. 
 (c) The Company shall pay interest (including Accrued Bankruptcy Interest) on overdue principal and premium, if any, at a rate of 17% per annum to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including Accrued Bankruptcy Interest) on
overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods), at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 (d) Interest
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

 (a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office or drop facility of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee,
Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give
prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the
address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices
and demands. 
  

 48 

 (b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency. 
 (c) The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such
office, drop facility or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof. 
 Section 4.03. Reports. 

(a) The Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each of the Holders (which delivery may be effected by electronic means), or shall post on a
confidential website (access to which shall require agreement by the Holders to the terms of the confidentiality agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C or another customary confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to the Required
Holders and made available on such website as a condition to access thereof, a form of which shall be provided by the Company to the Trustee and to each Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes upon request), the following information: 
 (i) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, (A) audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for

GAAP and (B) a management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (an “MD&A”), in narrative form, with respect to such financial statements substantially similar to that which would
be required to be included in an Annual Report on Form 10-K by an SEC registrant; 
 (ii) within 45 days after the end of each
of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, (A) unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for such quarter and the year-to-date period and the comparable period of the prior fiscal year (including balance
sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows as would be required from an SEC registrant in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), prepared in accordance with GAAP and (B) an MD&A with respect to such financial statements
substantially similar to that which would be required to be included in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by an SEC registrant; and 
 (iii) from time to time, upon reasonable request of any Holder, a brief description of the nature of the business of the Company and its products and services and any other information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Securities Act.

comparable prior period comparative forms, the Company may deliver or cause to be delivered such financial statements as are prescribed under GAAP taking into account the Company’s “fresh start” accounting as applicable in connection
with the effectiveness of the Plan of Reorganization. 
  

 49

quarter-end and/or year-end earnings calls following the delivery of the financial statements and an MD&A. 
 (c) The Company’s
reporting obligations with respect to this Section 4.03 shall be satisfied in the event the Company files such information with the SEC on EDGAR and delivers a copy of such information to the Trustee, unless the SEC does not permit such
filings. 
 (d) If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial
information required by the preceding paragraph will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in the MD&A, of the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results and operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company. 
 Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate. 
 (a) The Company and any Guarantor (to the extent that
such Guarantor is so required under the TIA) shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company, the Guarantors and their respective
Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled
their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge after such inquiry the Company, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries have kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto). 
 (b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an
Officers’ Certificate of any Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 4.05. Payments of Taxes and Other Claims. 
 The Company shall pay, and shall cause each
of its Subsidiaries to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent (a) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon its or its Subsidiaries’ income, profits
or property and (b) all material lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, would be reasonably likely to by law become a Lien upon its property or the property of any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that the
Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or 

  

 50 

 
cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by
appropriate negotiations or proceedings and for which disputed amounts adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors or management of the Company) have been made in accordance with GAAP. 
 Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 
 The Company and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law has been enacted. 
 Section 4.07. Corporate Existence. 
 Subject to Article 5 and Section 10.04 hereof, each of the Company and the Guarantors shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve
and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each Subsidiary, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of
each of the Company or any such Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such
right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any Subsidiary, if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes, or that such preservation is not necessary in connection with any transaction not prohibited by this
Indenture. 
 Section 4.08. Payments for Consent. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder for or as an inducement to any
consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth
in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 
 Section 4.09. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance
of Preferred Stock. 
 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur,
issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise (collectively, “incur” and collectively, an “incurrence”) with respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired
Indebtedness) and the Company will not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock; provided, however, that after the first
anniversary 

  

 51 

 
of the Issue Date, the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, and any
Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, if (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or would occur
after giving effect to, such incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of shares of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, and (ii) the Total Leverage Ratio for the Company’s and the Restricted Subsidiaries’ most recently ended four
fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued was less than or equal to 3.0 to 1 and
would have been less than or equal to 3.0 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or preferred stock had
been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred, at the beginning of such four-quarter period. 
 (b)
The foregoing limitations will not apply to the following (each of the following, “Permitted Indebtedness”): 
 (1) the incurrence of Indebtedness and obligations in respect of “Bank Products” under the Credit Facility by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and
bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof), not to exceed $75,000,000 outstanding at any time; 
 (2) the incurrence by the Company and any Guarantor of Indebtedness (including any Guarantee thereof) represented by the Notes in
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $85,000,000 plus the amount of any PIK Interest; 
 (3) Existing Indebtedness
(other than Indebtedness described in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and (2)), including (a) Indebtedness owing under the Sprague Bond Documents not to exceed $4,700,000 in the aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding and
(b) Indebtedness owing under the Crane Bond Documents not to exceed $3,500,000 in the aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, in each case reduced by the amount of any scheduled amortization payments or mandatory prepayments when
actually paid or permanent reductions thereon; 
 (4) Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations) and Disqualified
Stock incurred by the Company or Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations) incurred by any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, to finance the purchase, lease, construction or improvement of property (real or personal) or equipment that is
used or useful in the ordinary course of a Permitted Business, whether through the direct purchase of assets or the purchase of the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets, in an aggregate principal amount which, when aggregated with the
principal amount of all other Indebtedness and Disqualified Stock then outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause (4) does not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate outstanding at any time; 
  

 52 

 (5) to the extent such incurrence does not result in the incurrence by the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary of any obligation for the payment of borrowed money of others, Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries owed to any Person in connection with workers’ compensation, self-insurance, health,
disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability insurance provided by such Person to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to reimbursement or indemnification obligations to such person, in each case incurred
in the ordinary course of business; 
 (6) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn-out or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than guarantees of
Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred pursuant
to this clause (6) shall not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate outstanding at any time; 
 (7) Indebtedness (including
Indebtedness related to Sale and Lease-Back Transactions) of the Company to a Restricted Subsidiary or of a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided that: 
 (i) if the Company or any Guarantor is the borrower of such Indebtedness and the lender is a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a
Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Note Obligations, in the case of the Company, or the Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and 
 (ii) any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing
to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (7);

 (8) shares of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary issued to the Company or another Restricted
Subsidiary; provided that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such shares of
Disqualified Stock or preferred stock (except to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed in each case to be an issuance of such shares of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock; 
 (9) (i) any guarantee by the Company or a Guarantor of Indebtedness or other obligations of any Restricted Subsidiary so long as the
incurrence of such Indebtedness incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of this Indenture, provided, that such guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor must

be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Note Obligations; or (ii) any guarantee by a Guarantor of Indebtedness of the
Company, provided that such Indebtedness is incurred in accordance with this Section 4.09; 
 (10) Hedging
Obligations (excluding Hedging Obligations entered into for speculative purposes) for the purpose of limiting risk with respect to fluctuation in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or commodity prices with respect to any Indebtedness
permitted to be incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09 or business operations in any Permitted Business; 
 (11) to the
extent such incurrence does not result in the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any obligation for the payment of borrowed money of others, obligations in respect of performance, bid, appeal and surety bonds and completion
guarantees provided by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business; 
 (12) the incurrence by
the Company of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or the incurrence by any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to extend, refund, refinance, defease, renew or replace, any Indebtedness or
Disqualified Stock incurred under clause (1), (2), 3(b) or (4) above or this clause (12) or any Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock incurred in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to extend, refund, refinance, defease, renew
or replace, such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, including additional Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock incurred to pay premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance costs and fees in connection therewith prior to its respective maturity
(the “Refinancing Indebtedness”); provided, however, that: 
 (A) such Refinancing Indebtedness
has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time such Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred which is not less than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock being extended, refunded, refinanced,
defeased, renewed or replaced, 
 (B) [Intentionally Omitted]; 
 (C) to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness extends, refunds, refinances, defeases, renews or replaces (i) Indebtedness
subordinated or pari passu to the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes, such Refinancing Indebtedness is subordinated or pari passu to the Notes or such Guarantee at least to the same extent as the Indebtedness being extended, refunded, refinanced,
defeased, renewed or replaced or (ii) Disqualified Stock, such Refinancing Indebtedness must be Disqualified Stock, 
 (D) the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of such Refinancing Indebtedness (or liquidation preference in the case of Disqualified Stock) does not exceed the sum of the outstanding principal amount (or accreted value, if
applicable) of the Indebtedness so extended, refunded, refinanced, defeased, renewed or replaced (plus all accrued interest thereon and the amount of all premiums and reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith), 
  

 54 

 (E) the Indebtedness is incurred either by the Company and/or by one or more Restricted
Subsidiaries that are obligors on the Indebtedness being extended, refunded, refinanced, defeased, renewed or replaced, 
 (F)
the Indebtedness shall be secured only by the property or assets (if any) securing the Indebtedness to be so extended, refunded, refinanced, defeased, renewed or replaced, 
 (G) such Refinancing Indebtedness would result in a net saving to the Company and its Subsidiaries (taking into account any fees, costs or
premiums associated with the incurrence thereof) and the material terms of such Refinancing Indebtedness are, taken as a whole, no less favorable in any material respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries than the terms of the refinanced
Indebtedness; provided, that in the case of any such Indebtedness that is renewed, extended, refinanced or replaced within 12 months of its scheduled maturity or subsequent to the occurrence of any default or event of default under such
Indebtedness, such material terms (including interest rates, fees, and costs and premium) may be on terms that are, taken as a whole, substantially consistent with then prevailing terms for Indebtedness of such type, as determined in the judgment of
the Board of Directors; and 
 (H) such Refinancing Indebtedness shall not include: 
 (x) Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor or that is a
primary obligor or guarantor of the Indebtedness being refinanced) that extends, refunds, refinances, defeases, renews or replaces Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of the Company, or 
 (y) Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Restricted Subsidiary that is a primary
obligor or guarantor of the Indebtedness being refinanced) that extends, refunds, refinances, defeases, renews or replaces Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary; 
 (13) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against
insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within two Business Days of its incurrence; 
 (14) Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries arising from working capital lines of credit in their local countries, not to exceed $1,000,000 principal amount outstanding in the aggregate at any time; 
  

 55 

 (15) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent the net
proceeds thereof are promptly deposited to effect a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance as provided in Article VIII or to satisfy and discharge this Indenture pursuant to Section 12.01, provided, that all proceeds of such
Indebtedness will be kept in a restricted account controlled by the Collateral Agent until such net proceeds are deposited to effect such Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge; or 
 (16) other Indebtedness not to exceed $1,000,000 principal amount outstanding in the aggregate at any time. 
 (c) Neither the Company nor any Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Indebtedness) that is contractually subordinated in right of
payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that
no Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured. 
 (d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock
meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock described in clauses (1) through (16) of paragraph (b) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to paragraph
(a) of this Section 4.09, the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type
of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock in one of the above clauses; provided, however, that any incurrence of Indebtedness under the Credit Facility must be first applied to clause (1) of Section 4.09(b).
For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, at the time of incurrence, the Company will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described above. 
 (e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent
principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of
revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if
calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not
exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated
based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

 Section 4.10. Restricted Payments. 
 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly: 
 (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any Restricted
Subsidiary’s Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s
Equity Interests in their capacity as such, other than: 
 (i) dividends or distributions by the Company payable solely in
Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company, or 
 (ii) dividends or distributions by a Restricted
Subsidiary to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (2) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire

 (3) make any principal payment on or with
respect to, or redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire in each case, prior to the date of any scheduled repayment, sinking fund payment or maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
(including any payment in respect of any amendment of the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness, which amendment is sought in connection with any such acquisition of Subordinated Indebtedness or seeks to shorten any such date), other than
Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Guarantor permitted under Section 4.09; 
 (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses
(1) through (3) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment: 
 (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; 
 (B) immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment on a pro forma basis, as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the
beginning of the applicable four quarter period, the Company could incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Total Leverage Ratio test set forth in paragraph (a) of Section 4.09 (for the purpose of this clause (B),
without regard to the time limitation of one year following the Issue Date contained in such Section 4.09(a)); and 
  

 57 

 (C) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted
Payments made by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2) and (3) of paragraph (b) of this Section 4.10), does not exceed the lesser of
(x) $1,000,000 for any four fiscal quarter period beginning with the commencement of the first full fiscal quarter after the Issue Date or (y) the sum (without duplication) of: 
 (i) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first
fiscal quarter commencing after the Issue Date, to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, in the case such Consolidated Net
Income for such period is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus 
 (ii) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds
received by the Company since immediately after the Issue Date, and not used to repay Indebtedness under the Credit Facility, redeem the Notes or make any Permitted Investment, from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than
Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of Subordinated Indebtedness and is incurred in compliance with the Total Leverage Ratio test set forth in paragraph (a) of Section 4.09, plus 
 (iii) 50% of any dividends received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company since immediately after the Issue Date from
an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for such period, minus 
 (iv) 100% of the amount of Excess Cash Flow used or required to be used to redeem Notes from and after the Issue Date pursuant to
Section 3.09. 
 (b) The foregoing provisions will not prohibit: 
 (1) the repurchase, retirement or other acquisition or retirement of common Equity Interests of the Company held by any future, present or
former employee, director or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries upon the cessation of employment or service of such employee, director or consultant pursuant to any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other
management or employee benefit plan or agreement; provided, however, that the aggregate Restricted Payments made under this clause (1) do not exceed $1,000,000 in any calendar year; and provided, further, that such
Restricted Payments will be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 4.10(a) above ; 
  

 58 

 (2) the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of
Disqualified Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary issued in accordance with Section 4.09 to the extent such dividends are included in the definition of Consolidated Fixed Charges; 
 (3) repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options or warrants if such Equity Interests represent a
portion of the exercise price of such options or warrants; 
 (4) other Restricted Payments to holders of the Company’s
common Equity Interests funded from Net Asset Sale Proceeds from of one or more Asset Sales permitted by Section 4.13, provided that the Total Leverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal
financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which any such Restricted Payment is made was less than or equal to 3.5 to 1 and would have been less than or equal to 3.5 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis, as if such
Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of such four quarter period; provided, however, that Restricted Payments permitted by this clause (4) will be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments in
Section 4.10(a) above; or 
 (5) the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in connection with the
exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible into or exercisable for Capital Stock of the Company; 
 provided, however, that
(x) at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clause (1), no payment Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof and (y) at the time of,
and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (2) and (4), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof. 
 (c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the assets, property
or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this
Section 4.10 will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and evidenced by a Board Resolution and, in the case of any assets or securities with a Fair Market Value in excess of $10,000,000, based upon a valuation
opinion or appraisal issued by an appraiser, valuation firm, accounting firm, financial advisor, or investment banking firm of national standing. Other than with respect to any payment described in clauses (1) through (3) of paragraph
(b) of this Section 4.10, no later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon
which the calculations required by this Section 4.10 were computed, together with a copy of any Board Resolution or valuation opinion or appraisal required hereunder. 
  

 59 

 Section 4.11. Investments. 
 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly make or maintain any Investment other than Permitted
Investments. 
 (b) The Company will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the
definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the
Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Investments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investment.” Such designation will be permitted only if a Investment in such amount would be
permitted at such time pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments” hereunder, and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 Section 4.12. Liens. 
 The
Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind, other than Permitted Liens, upon any of its property now owned or acquired after the date of the Indenture or
upon any income or profits therefrom. 
 Section 4.13. Asset Sales. 
 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless: 
 (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale not substantially
less than the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests sold or otherwise disposed of as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company; 
 (2) with respect to any Asset Sale involving consideration in excess of $10,000,000, such Fair Market Value is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company based upon advice of a qualified third party
appraiser, valuation firm, accounting firm, investment banking firm, or financial advisor and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee; 
 (3) in the case of an Asset Sale involving consideration in excess of $1,000,000, at least 85% of the consideration therefor received by
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is 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 or in the footnotes thereto) (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their
terms subordinated to the Notes or such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee) that are assumed by the 

  

 60 

 
transferee of any such assets and for which the Company and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released in writing by all creditors of such
liabilities, and 
 (B) any securities received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are
converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 30 Business Days following the closing of such Asset Sale, 
 shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this clause (3) and for no other purpose; and 
 (4) if such Asset Sale involves the disposition of Note Priority Collateral, the Net Asset Sale Proceeds thereof (other than amounts to be applied as set forth in Section 4.13(d) below) shall be paid directly by the purchaser of such
Collateral to the Collateral Agent for deposit into the Collateral Account, and, if any property other than cash or Cash Equivalents is received as consideration in such Asset Sale, such property shall be made subject to the Lien of the Indenture
and the applicable Collateral Documents, in each case, subject to and pending application pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents. 
 (b) Within 180 days after the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of Net Asset Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale, the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Asset Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale: 
 (1) (A) If the Asset
Sale involves the disposition of ABL Priority Collateral, to the repayment of Indebtedness under the Credit Facility, or (B) if the Asset Sale involves the disposition of Collateral subject to a Permitted Prior Lien securing Priority Lien Debt,
to the repayment of Priority Lien Debt secured by such Permitted Prior Lien in an amount up to the Net Asset Sale Proceeds attributable to the disposition of such Collateral (and, if such Priority Lien Debt is revolving credit Indebtedness and the
borrowing base of such Indebtedness is not reduced in connection with the disposition of such Collateral, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), or 
 (2) to an investment in (a) any one or more Permitted Businesses, provided that if such investment in any business is in the
form of the acquisition of Capital Stock, such investment results in the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such Person such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) Capital
Expenditures or (c) acquisitions of other assets (other than the payment of ordinary operating expenses), in each of (a), (b) and (c), used or useful in a Permitted Business (any of the foregoing clauses (a), (b), or (c),
“Replacement Assets”); provided, that any Replacement Assets acquired with any Net Asset Sale Proceeds of Collateral shall be owned by the Company or by a Guarantor and shall not be subject to any Liens other than Permitted
Liens, and the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such Collateral Documents or other instruments as shall be reasonably necessary to cause such Replacement Assets to become subject to a
Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, securing its obligations under the Notes or its Guarantee, as the case may be, and otherwise shall comply with terms of this Indenture and the Credit
Facility; 
  

 61 

 provided that if, within such 180-day period, the Company or applicable Restricted Subsidiary has entered into an
agreement on terms acceptable to the Required Noteholders to apply such Net Asset Sale Proceeds to the purchase or construction of assets permitted in this paragraph (b), then the Company may extend such 180-day period for up to an additional 180
days. 
 (c) Any Net Asset Sale Proceeds that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in paragraph
(b) of this Section 4.13, will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” On the Asset Sale Trigger Date, or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company determines not to apply the Net Asset Sale Proceeds
relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 4.13, the Company shall either (i) to the extent permitted by Section 4.10(b)(4), make a Restricted Payment to holders of the Company’s common Equity
Interests in an amount up to the amount of such Excess Proceeds, or (ii) make an offer to all Holders (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds
(or the portion thereof not applied toward a Restricted Payment pursuant to clause (i) above) at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the
closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that the offer price for the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds (or the portion
thereof not applied toward a Restricted Payment pursuant to clause (i) above), the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the offer price for the aggregate
principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds (or the portion thereof not applied toward a Restricted Payment pursuant to clause (i) above), the Trustee shall select the Notes to be
purchased on a pro rata basis in authorized denominations based on the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so tendered. Upon completion of any Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Net Asset Sale Proceeds of any Collateral in respect of any Asset Sale shall, pending their application in
accordance with this Section 4.13 or the release thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents, be deposited in the Collateral Account as provided in with the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 (e) The Company will 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 or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the
Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof. 
  

 62 

 Section 4.14. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

 The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to
exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to: 
 (1) (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary on its Capital Stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or 
 (b) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (2) make loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; or 
 (3) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary. 
 However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 
 (1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect on the Issue Date, including pursuant to the Credit Facility and the related
documentation; 
 (2) the Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Notes, in each case, as the same may be amended from
time to time in accordance with the terms thereof; 
 (3) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary
course of business that impose restrictions of the nature discussed in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph on the property so acquired; 
 (4) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order;

instrument of a Person acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties
or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; 
 (6) contracts for the
sale of assets, including customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Subsidiary;

 63 

 (7) secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Sections 4.09 and
4.12 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (9)
customary provisions contained in leases and other agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; and 
 (10) any
encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in clauses (1), (2), (3), (5) and (7) of the preceding paragraph imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or
refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (1), (2), (3), (5) and (7) above or this clause (10), provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements,
refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, no more restrictive in any material respect with respect to such encumbrance and other restrictions than those prior to such
amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing. 
 Section 4.15.
Transactions with Related Parties. 
 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any payment to,

with, or for the benefit of, any Related Party (each of the foregoing, a “Related Party Transaction”), unless:

Restricted Subsidiary with a Person that is not a Related Party; 
 (2) with respect to any Related Party Transaction or
series of Related Party Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $500,000 in any fiscal year with a Related Party described in clause (iii), (iv) or (v) of the definition of “Related Party”, such

Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into a Sale and Lease-Back Transaction if:

Restricted Subsidiary, if applicable, could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction under the Total Leverage Ratio test in paragraph (a) of
Section 4.09 and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.12;

price of that Sale and Lease-Back Transaction is not less than the Fair Market Value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and, where the Fair Market Value exceeds $5,000,000, set forth in an Officers’
Certificate and delivered to the Trustee, of the property that is the subject of that Sale and Lease-Back Transaction; and

 Section 4.17. Issuances and Sales of Equity Interests of Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equity
Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary to any Person (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary), unless: 
 (1) such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition is of all Equity Interests in such Restricted Subsidiary owned by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiaries; and 
 (2) the cash Net Asset Sale Proceeds from such transfer, conveyance, sale,
lease or other disposition are applied in accordance with Section 4.13. 
 In addition, the Company will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any of its Equity Interests to any Person other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. 
 Section 4.18. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
 The Company’s Board
of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value (as
determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of
the designation. That designation shall only be 

  

 66 

 
permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an “Unrestricted
Subsidiary.” The Company’s Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default. 
 Section 4.19. Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control. 
 (a) If a Change of Control occurs, the Company will make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any
part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer at a purchase price, in cash, equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the Notes repurchased, to the Purchase Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). 
 (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice of such Change of Control Offer by first class mail, postage prepaid,
to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating: 
 (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.19 and that all Notes tendered shall be accepted for payment; 
 (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice
is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 
 (3) that any Note not tendered shall remain outstanding
and continue to accrue interest; 
 (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price in the Change
of Control Offer, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with
the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of
Control Payment Date; 
 (6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later
than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a
statement that such Holder is withdrawing such Holder’s election to have the Notes purchased; and 
  

 67 

 (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes
equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. 
 (c) So long as the Notes are in global form, if the Company
makes an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, a Holder may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of Notes through the facilities of the Depositary, subject to its rules and regulations. 
 (d) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the Notes as a result of a Change in Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this
Section 4.19 of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 4.19 by virtue of such compliance. 
 (e) 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) prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on such date, deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the purchase price in the Change
of Control Offer in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 
 (f) The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price in the Change of Control Offer for such Notes, and
the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. 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. 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 4.19, 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 4.19 and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer. A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change
of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer.

 Section 4.20. Additional Guarantees. 
 If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture that is
wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company and has assets in excess of $25,000 or annual revenues in excess of $25,000, such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an
Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate, satisfactory to the Trustee and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, within 30 days after the date on which it was acquired or created or first had such assets or revenues.

 Section 4.21. Business Activities. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage in any business or investment activities other than a Permitted Business. 
 Section 4.22. Events of Loss. 
 (a) In the event of an Event of Loss with respect to any Collateral with a Fair Market Value (or replacement cost, if greater, if insured for its full replacement cost) in excess of $500,000, within 180 days after the receipt of the Net
Loss Proceeds of such Event of Loss, the Company or such Guarantor, at its option, may apply the Net Loss Proceeds from such Event of Loss, 
 (1) to the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction of improvements to the affected Collateral (the “Subject Property”), provided, that if such Event of Loss occurs with respect to
Collateral with a Fair Market Value in excess of $2,000,000, the Company delivers (A) a written opinion from a reputable contractor that the Subject Property can be rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed and operating within 330 days from
the date of such opinion; and (B) an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Company or the affected Guarantor has available from Net Loss Proceeds (including amounts collectible from the applicable insurance carrier) or other sources
sufficient funds to complete the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction described in this clause (1); 
 (2) to the
investment in Replacement Assets, provided, that any Replacement Assets acquired with any Net Loss Proceeds of Collateral shall be owned by the Company or by a Guarantor and shall not be subject to any Liens other than Permitted Liens, and
the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such Collateral Documents or other instruments as shall be reasonably necessary to cause such Replacement Assets to become subject to a Lien in
favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, securing its obligations under the Notes or its Guarantee, as the case may be, and otherwise shall comply with terms of this Indenture and the Intercreditor
Agreement; or 
 (3) if the Event of Loss involves Collateral subject to a Permitted Prior Lien securing Priority Lien Debt,
to the repayment of Priority Lien Debt secured by such Permitted Prior Lien in an amount up to the Net Loss Proceeds with respect to such Collateral and, if such Priority Lien Debt is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce
commitments with respect thereto, in each case with no concurrent obligation to make any purchase or redemption of any Notes; 
  

 69 

 provided, if the Company has entered into an agreement on terms acceptable to the Required Noteholders within the
180-day period following the receipt of Net Loss Proceeds of such Event of Loss to apply Net Loss Proceeds in accordance with this Section 4.22(a), then the Company shall have 360 days from the receipt of Net Loss Proceeds of such Event of Loss
to apply the Net Loss Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.22(a). 
 (b) Any Net Loss Proceeds that are not invested or applied within
the time period specified in clause (a) above will be deemed to constitute “Excess Loss Proceeds”. On the Event of Loss Trigger Date, or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company determines not to
apply the Net Loss Proceeds relating to such Event of Loss as set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 4.22, then within 30 days following such determination (but in no event later than the Event of Loss Trigger Date), the Company will
make an offer to all Holders (an “Event of Loss Offer”), to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Loss Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.10 of this Indenture. To the extent that the offer price for the aggregate amount of
Notes tendered pursuant to an Event of Loss Offer is less than the Excess Loss Proceeds, such remaining Excess Loss Proceeds shall be released to the Company for use for any purposes, subject to any other applicable conditions and covenants in this
Indenture and the Collateral Documents. If the offer price for the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Event of Loss Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Loss Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a
pro rata basis in authorized denominations based on the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so tendered. Upon completion of any Event of Loss Offer, the amount of Excess Loss Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Net Loss Proceeds of any Collateral in respect of any Event of Loss shall, pending their application in accordance
with this Section 4.22 or the release thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents, be deposited in the Collateral Account as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 (d) The Company will 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 or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Event of Loss Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture,
the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.

 The Company and the other Pledgors will: 
 (1) keep their properties adequately insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers; 
 (2) maintain such other insurance, to such extent and against such risks (and with such deductibles, retentions and exclusions), including fire and other risks insured against by extended coverage and coverage for
acts of terrorism, as is customary with companies in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations, including public liability insurance against claims for personal injury or death or property damage occurring upon, in,
about or in connection with the use of any properties owned, occupied or controlled by them; 
 (3) maintain such other
insurance as may be required by law;

on all real property Collateral insuring the Collateral Agent’s Lien on that property, subject only to Permitted Liens and other exceptions to title in effect as of the Issue Date and other exceptions as may be reasonably acceptable to the
Required Noteholders; provided that title insurance need only be maintained on any particular parcel of real property having a Fair Market Value of less than $1,000,000 if and to the extent title insurance is obtained and maintained in
respect of any other Liens on that property; and 
 (5) maintain such other insurance as may be required by the Indenture and
the Collateral Documents. 
 The Company and the Guarantors will furnish to the Collateral Agent full information as to their property and
liability insurance carriers. The Holders, as a class, will be named as additional insureds, with a waiver of subrogation, on all insurance policies of the Company and Guarantors, and the Collateral Agent will be named as a loss payee, as its
interests may appear, with 30 days’ notice of cancellation or material change, on all property and casualty insurance policies of the Company and the Guarantors.

Assurances. 
 The Company shall, and shall cause each of the Pledgors to, execute and deliver such additional instruments, certificates
or documents, and take such actions as may be reasonably required from time to time in order to: 
 (1) carry out more
effectively the purposes of the Collateral Documents; 
 (2) create, grant, perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness
and priority of any of the Collateral Documents and the Liens created, or intended to be created, by the Collateral Documents; and 
  

 71 

 (3) ensure the protection and enforcement of any of the rights granted or intended to be
granted to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under any other instrument executed in connection therewith.

Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder of any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents which requires any consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization of any governmental
authority, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Pledgors to, execute and deliver all applications, certifications, instruments and other documents and papers that may be required of the Company or any of the Pledgors for such governmental
consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization.

or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may, declare the principal of all the Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, and premium, if any, to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and

 Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture. 
 At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes, the Required Noteholders (by notice to the Trustee) may rescind and cancel

 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Notes, this Indenture or the Collateral Documents. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any
of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or
acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies shall be cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04. Waiver of
Defaults. 
 The Required Noteholders by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing
Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default (i) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on the Notes (provided, that the Required Noteholders may
rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration) and (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Note affected by such modification or amendment. In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e), such Event of Default and all consequences of that Event of Default, including without limitation
any acceleration or resulting payment default, shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, if after the Event of Default arose: 
 (a) the Indebtedness that is the basis for the Event of Default has been discharged; 
 (b) the holders of such Indebtedness have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action, as the case may be, giving rise to the Event of
Default; or 
 (c) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured. 
  

 78 

 Upon any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed cured for every purpose of this Indenture but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.05. Control by Majority. 
 Subject to Section 6.02, Section 7.01, Section 7.02 and Section 7.07 hereof, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Required Noteholders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding
with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless: 
 (a) such Holder has
previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default or the Trustee receives the notice from the Company, 
 (b)
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have made written request and offered reasonable security or indemnity to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee, and 
 (c) the Trustee shall not have received from the Required Noteholders a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such
proceeding within 60 days. 
 The preceding limitations shall not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder for enforcement of payment of
principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, a Note on or after the respective due dates for such payments set forth in such Note. 
 A
Holder may not use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 
 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture (including Section 6.06), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes (including in connection
with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided, that a Holder shall not have the right to
institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this
Indenture and the Collateral Documents upon any property subject to such Lien. 
  

 79 

 Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest) and such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 The Trustee shall be authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be
entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, moneys,
securities and any other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the
claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10. Priorities. 
 If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses
and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 Second: to Holders for
amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively;
and 
  

 80 

 Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. 
 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in
such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Company, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) 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. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
 (1) the duties of the Trustee
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and
opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from
liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1)
this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section; 
 (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any
error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
  

 81 

 (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so
provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01. 
 (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this
Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in
trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Section 7.02. Rights of
Trustee. 
 (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or
refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of
Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder
in good faith and in reliance thereon. 
 (c) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it
believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation
to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. 
 (e) Unless
otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company to the Trustee shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer. 
 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. 
 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same 

  

 82 

 
rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within
90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee shall also be subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 
 Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. 
 The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to
the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any
statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. 
 If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs, or if later,
promptly after the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of
its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 
 Section 7.06.
Reports by Trustee to Holders. 
 Within 60 days after each July 15th beginning with July 15, 2010, and for so long as Notes
remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA §313(a) (but if no event described in TIA §313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting
date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA §313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA §313(c). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which
the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA §313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange and any delisting thereof. 
 Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 
 The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder, as may be agreed by the Company and the Trustee in a separate agreement. The
Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements, advances and expenses
incurred or made by it in performing its obligations and duties hereunder, in addition to the compensation for its services, as provided in such agreement. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the
Trustee’s third-party agents and counsel. 
  

 83 

 The Company shall indemnify the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent and
Collateral Agent) or any predecessor Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent and Collateral Agent) against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses, including incidental and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys
fees (for purposes of this Article, “losses”) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture
against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties hereunder, except to the extent such losses may be attributable to its willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 7.07, to the extent the Company has not been prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The
Trustee may have separate counsel if the Trustee has been reasonably advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Company and in the reasonable
judgment of such counsel it is advisable for the Trustee to engage separate counsel, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. 
 The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or
collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee incurs out-of-pocket expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(j) or (k) hereof occurs,
such expenses and reasonable compensation for the services (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its third-party agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 
 A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 
  

 84 

 The Trustee may resign in writing at any time upon 30 days’ prior notice to the Company and be
discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Required Noteholders may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; 
 (b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 
 (d) the Trustee becomes
incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in
such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Required Noteholders may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns
or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such
Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the
rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. Subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof, the retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided, however, that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder shall have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the
Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 In the case of an
appointment hereunder of a separate or successor Trustee with respect to the Notes, the Company, the Guarantors, any retiring Trustee and each successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Notes shall execute and deliver an Indenture
supplemental hereto (1) which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes as to which any such retiring
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in such retiring Trustee and (2) that shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such 

  

 85 

 
Trustee co-trustees of the same trust and that each such separate, retiring or successor Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and
apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any such other Trustee. 
 Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger,
etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to,
another corporation or banking association, the successor corporation or banking association without any further act shall, if such successor corporation or banking association is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee. 

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. 
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA §310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject
to TIA §310(b). 
 Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 
 The Trustee is subject to TIA §311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed
shall be subject to TIA §311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes and Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article 8. 
 Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 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, 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”) and each Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee. For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the
Guarantors 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 and the other Sections of

  

 86 

 
this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under the Notes, the Guarantees 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, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such
Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s
and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. 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. 
 Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 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, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Section 4.03, 4.05(b) and Sections 4.08 through 4.25 hereof, and the operation of Section 5.01(a), with
respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”) and each Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its
Guarantee with respect to such covenants in connection with such outstanding Notes and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).
For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Guarantees, the Company and Guarantors 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, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. 
 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 to the outstanding Notes. 
 The Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance may be exercised only if: 
 (a) the Company irrevocably deposits
with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the Stated 

  

 87 

 
Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company shall specify whether the Notes are being defeased to Stated Maturity or
to such particular redemption date; 
 (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
confirming that (i) the Company have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) subsequent to the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either
case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting
from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); 
 (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach
or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company is a party or by which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company is bound; 
 (f) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding such other creditors; and 
 (g) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to
the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and 
 (h) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that assuming no intervening bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company between the date of deposit and the 91st day following the date of deposit and that no Holder is an insider of the Company, after the 91st day
following the date of deposit, payment from the trust funds will not be subject to avoidance as preferential transfers under applicable Bankruptcy Laws. 
 Section 8.05. Deposited Cash and U.S. Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to Section 8.06, all cash and non-callable U.S. Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for 

  

 88 

 
purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 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 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 cash or non-callable U.S. Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the certification delivered under Section 8.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06. Repayment to Company. 
 The Trustee shall promptly, and in any event, no later than three (3) Business Days, pay to the Company after request therefor, any excess money held
with respect to the Notes at such time in excess of amounts required to pay any of the Company’s Obligations then owing with respect to the Note Documents. 
 Subject to applicable law, 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, premium, if any,
or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall 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
trustees thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in The New York Times
and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any
unclaimed balance of such cash and securities then remaining shall be repaid to the Company. 
  

 89 

 Section 8.07. 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. 
 ARTICLE IX

affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; or 
  

 90 

 (j) make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by the Indenture or any of
the Collateral Documents or any release of Collateral that becomes effective as set forth in the Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents. 
 Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes. 
 Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the
Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Notes or the Guarantees with the consent of the Required Noteholders, including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or
exchange offer for, Notes, and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default (except a continuing Default or Event of Default in (i) the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, other than
a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded as provided herein, and (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision which under the express terms of this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
Holder of each Note affected by such modification or amendment) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Required Noteholders, including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of,
or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes; provided, that any such amendment or supplement to or waiver of the Collateral Documents also shall comply with the provisions described in the Intercreditor Agreement, if then in effect.

 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 of
the Notes, the Indenture or the Collateral Documents, as provided in this Indenture. 
 (b) reduce the principal of, or extend or postpone
the fixed maturity of, any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other than provisions relating to Sections 4.13, 4.19 or 4.22), 
 (c) reduce the rate of or extend or postpone the time for payment of interest on any Note, 
 (d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes issued under the Indenture, except a
rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Required Noteholders and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in the Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be
amended or modified without the consent of all Holders, as expressly provided herein, 
 (e) make any Note payable in money other than that
stated in the Notes, 
  

 91 

 (f) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights
of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (other than provisions relating to Sections 4.13, 4.19 or 4.22), 
 (g) make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions, 
 (h) impair the right of any Holder to
receive payment of principal of, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes, 
 (i) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture; 
 (j) release all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and
the Indenture; or 
 (k) at any time after a Change of Control Offer, Asset Sale Offer or Event of Loss Offer is required by Sections 4.13,
4.19 or 4.22, modify the provisions of any such covenant (or related definition) in the Indenture requiring the Company to make such an offer to purchase the Notes in accordance with the terms thereof. 
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any supplemental
indenture. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record
date; provided that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 120 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically
and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders
under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note affected
thereby to such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register 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. 
 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. 
  

 92 

 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. 
 Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 
 The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for
all Notes may issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

 Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 
 The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
Neither 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
entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) 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 valid and binding obligation of the Company 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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel shall not be required in connection with the addition of a Guarantor under this Indenture upon execution and delivery
by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture and a notation of Guarantee. 
 ARTICLE X 
 GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01.
Guarantee. 
 Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby unconditionally guarantees, to each Holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns: (a) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at
Stated Maturity, by 

  

 93 

 
acceleration, redemption or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal of and premium, if any, and, to the extent permitted
by law, interest, and the due and punctual performance of all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture or any other agreement with or for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee, all in accordance with
the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the
extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02, redemption or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall
be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations with regard to its Guarantee shall be joint and several, unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes or the Note Obligations of the
Company under this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other obligor with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Obligations of the Company under this Indenture
or the Notes, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances (other than complete performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor further, to the extent permitted by
law, waives and relinquishes all claims, rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such claims, rights or remedies, including but not limited to: (a) any right to require any
of the Trustee, the Holders or the Company (each a “Benefited Party”), as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (1) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the
Obligations under the Guarantees or any other Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (3) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account
or credit on the books of any Benefited Party in favor of the Company or any other Person, or (4) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Benefited Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of
authority or any disability or other defense of the Company including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations under the Guarantees or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by
reason of the cessation of the liability of the Company from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations under the Guarantees; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must
be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Benefited Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations under the Guarantees, except
behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e)(1) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of the Guarantees and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder, (2) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (3) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims and (4) promptness, diligence and any
requirement that any Benefited Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentations, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any
action or inaction, including acceptance of the Guarantees, notices of Default under the Notes or any agreement or instrument related 

  

 94 

 
thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations under the Guarantees or any agreement related thereto, and notices of any
extension of credit to the Company and any right to consent to any thereof; (g) to the extent permitted under applicable law, the benefits of any “One Action” rule and (h) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or
afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of the Guarantees. Except to the extent expressly provided herein, including Sections 8.02, 8.03 and 10.05, each Guarantor hereby
covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in its Guarantee and this Indenture. 
 If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or
the Guarantors any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Obligations guaranteed hereby.
Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.02 hereof
for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such
obligations as provided in Section 6.02 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek
contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee. 
 Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 
 (a) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder,
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that each Guarantor’s liability shall be
that amount from time to time equal to the aggregate liability of such Guarantor under the guarantee, but shall be limited to the lesser of (a) the aggregate amount of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture or
(b) the amount, if any, which would not have (1) rendered the Guarantor “insolvent” (as such term is defined in the Federal Bankruptcy Code and under applicable state law) or (2) left it with unreasonably small capital at
the time its guarantee with respect to the Notes was entered into, after giving effect to the incurrence of existing Indebtedness immediately before such time; provided, however, it shall be a presumption in any lawsuit or proceeding
in which a Guarantor is a party that the amount guaranteed pursuant to the guarantee with respect to the Notes is the amount described in clause (a) above unless any creditor, or representative of creditors of the Guarantor, or debtor in
possession or Trustee in bankruptcy of the Guarantor, otherwise proves in a lawsuit that the aggregate liability of the Guarantor is limited to the amount described in clause (b). 
  

 95 

 (b) In making any determination as to the solvency or sufficiency of capital of a Guarantor in accordance
with the proviso of Section 10.02(a), the right of each Guarantor to contribution, subrogation and indemnification from other Guarantors and any other rights such Guarantor may have, contractual or otherwise, shall be taken into account.

 Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. 
 To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee in substantially the form
included in Exhibit B attached hereto shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Guarantee no
longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 The Company hereby agrees that it shall cause each Person that becomes obligated to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.20 to execute a
supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, pursuant to which such Person provides the guarantee set forth in this Article 10 and otherwise assumes the obligations and accepts the rights of a Guarantor under
this Indenture, in each case with the same effect and to the same extent as if such Person had been named herein as a Guarantor. The Company also hereby agrees to cause each such new Guarantor to evidence its guarantee by endorsing a notation of
such guarantee on each Note as provided in this Section 10.03. 
 Section 10.04. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain
Terms. 
 Upon any consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance of a Guarantor as permitted by Article 5, and upon the assumption by the
successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and
conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause
to be signed any or all of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all 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. 
  

 96 

 Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall
prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another
Guarantor. 
 Section 10.05. Releases Following Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets, Etc. 
 Upon: 
 (1) a sale or other
disposition of a Guarantor (as an entirety) (whether by way of merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of all of the assets of such Guarantor, sale or other disposition of all of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor or otherwise), other
than a transaction that constitutes a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company so as to trigger a Change of Control, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) the Company or a Guarantor,
and provided that the Net Asset Sale Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.13 and such sale or disposition of Equity Interests or assets is otherwise in compliance with the
terms of this Indenture, or 
 (2) the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, 
 then such Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its
Guarantee, and neither such transaction nor the Person formed by any such consolidation or merger or that so acquires the assets or Equity Interests of such Guarantor shall be required to comply with the provisions set forth in Section 5.01 or
Section 10.04. 
 Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of
principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 COLLATERAL AND SECURITY

interest on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes and

and purposes herein expressed. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, at their own expense, take all reasonable actions as reasonably necessary or advisable to establish, maintain and perfect a security interest in and continuing
Lien on all of the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders, superior to the rights of all third Persons, except for holders of Priority Lien Debt, and subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens and other Liens
permitted by the Collateral Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall execute or cause to be executed and shall file or cause to be filed such financing statements, continuation statements, and fixture filings
and such mortgages, or deeds of trust in all places necessary to establish, maintain and perfect the Liens purported to be provided for in the Collateral Documents.

continuation statements or other instruments of further assurance as is necessary to maintain perfection of the Lien of the Collateral Documents and reciting with respect to the security interest in the Collateral the details of such action or
referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, and (B) to the effect that, in the opinion of such counsel, based on relevant laws as in effect on the date of such Opinion of Counsel, all financing statements and
continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary as of such date and during the succeeding 12 months fully to preserve and protect, to the extent such protection and preservation are possible by filing, the rights of the
Holders, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee hereunder and under the Collateral Documents with respect to the security interest in the Collateral; or 
 (b) to the effect that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to maintain such Lien. 
  

 98 

 The Company will otherwise comply with the provisions of TIA §314(b). 
 Section 11.03. Release of Collateral. 
 (a) Subject to subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 11.03 and the Intercreditor Agreement, Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Collateral Documents at any time or from time to

Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying that all conditions precedent under the Indenture have been met, then (at the sole cost and expense of the Company) the Collateral Agent shall release (or cause to be released) Collateral that is
sold, conveyed or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of this Indenture; provided, that if such sale, conveyance or disposition constitutes an Asset Sale, the Company will apply the Net Asset Sale Proceeds in compliance with

release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement.

continuing and the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise) and the Trustee shall have delivered a notice of acceleration to the Collateral Agent, no release of Collateral pursuant to the provisions of the
Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement will be effective as against the Holders. 
 (d) The release of any Collateral from the
terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to
the terms of the Collateral Documents, this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement. To the extent applicable, the Company shall cause TIA § 313(b), relating to reports, and TIA § 314(d), relating to the release of property or securities

engineer, appraiser or other expert selected or approved by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent in the exercise of reasonable care.

has delivered the certificates and 

  

 100 

 
documents required by the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and Sections 11.03 and 11.05 hereof, the Trustee will determine whether it has

 (Back of Note) 
 SENIOR SECURED NOTE DUE 2014 
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 1. Interest. Caraustar Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company” which term shall include any successor thereto in accordance with the Indenture), promises to pay interest (including any Accrued Bankruptcy Interest) on the principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum set
forth below until maturity. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest
Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date; provided, however, that if there is no existing Default in
the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. The Company shall
pay interest (including Accrued Bankruptcy Interest) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time at a rate of 17% per annum; it shall pay interest (including Accrued Bankruptcy Interest) on overdue installments of interest (without
regard to any applicable grace periods), from time to time, at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 With respect to interest on this Note
for a semiannual period due on an Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect either (i) to pay interest on the Notes on such Interest Payment Date by payment of cash interest for such semiannual period at a rate of 10% per annum or
(ii) to pay interest on the Notes on such Interest Payment Date by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (or issuing additional Notes) (“PIK Interest”) in an amount equal to interest on the Notes for
such semiannual period at a rate of 15% per annum; provided, however, that the interest rate payable on the Notes with respect to any portion of an interest period during which an Event of Default (other than the failure to pay
principal, premium or interest) shall have occurred and be continuing shall be 12% per annum, if paid in cash, and 17% per annum, if paid in PIK Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on this Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons in whose name
this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the January 31 or July 31 next preceding the Interest Payment Date (each, a “Record Date”), even if this Note is cancelled after
such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, at the office or
agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar, or, at the option of the Company, payment of cash interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the Security Register; provided, that, [all cash payments of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof]1 [all cash payments of 
  

	1
	 For Global Notes only.

principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Note will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the
United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such
other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion)]2. Such payment shall be in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 
 All PIK Interest payable pursuant to this Note will be payable by [increasing the principal amount of this Note by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable semiannual interest period (rounded up to the nearest whole
dollar) (or, if necessary, pursuant to requirements of the depository or otherwise, to authenticate a new Global Note executed by the Company with such increased principal amounts]3 [by issuing additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest period
(rounded up to the nearest whole dollar) and the Trustee will, at the request of the Company, authenticate and deliver such PIK Notes for original issuance to the Holder of this Note on the relevant Record Date, as shown by the records of the
Register]4. If the Company elects to pay PIK Interest on any Interest Payment Date
it must deliver, not less than 45 days prior to such Interest Payment Date, an Authentication Order to the Trustee specifying the aggregate amount of PIK Interest to be paid through increases in the Global Note and through the issuance of additional
Notes; provided, however, the Company shall deliver an updated Authentication Order on the day preceding an Interest Payment Date to the extent modifications in the amount of PIK Interest to be paid are needed in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture due to the continuation or cessation of an Event of Default. On the relevant Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall record increases in the Global Note and authenticate additional Notes, as appropriate, in the aggregate
principal amounts required to pay the PIK Interest then due. 
 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wilmington Trust FSB,
the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of their Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 
 4. Indenture, Collateral Documents and Intercreditor Agreement. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of August 20,
2009 (“Indenture”) among the Company, the guarantors from time to time party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part
of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such
terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured obligations of the Company limited to $85 million in
aggregate principal amount plus the amount of any PIK Interest. The Notes are secured by the Collateral as set forth in the Collateral Documents, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Determination Date”), the Company shall apply an amount equal to 75% of the amount of such Excess Cash Flow (to the extent not used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility) to redeem Notes, at a redemption price of 100%
of the aggregate principal amount of Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The Redemption Date for redemptions under this Paragraph shall be the Excess Cash Flow Payment Date following the applicable Excess Cash
Flow Determination Date. 
 (b) Any prepayment pursuant to this Paragraph 7 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through
3.06 of the Indenture.

 8. Repurchase at Option of Holder. Sections 4.13, 4.19 and 4.22 of the Indenture provide
that after an Asset Sale, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, or after an Event of Loss with respect to Collateral, and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Company shall make an offer to purchase certain amounts of Notes at
a purchase price, in cash, equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, to the repurchase date, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. 
 9. Notice of Redemption. Notices of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days (15 days in the case of redemption pursuant to paragraph 6
or 7 above) but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address, except that redemption or repurchase notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a
redemption or repurchase date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
$1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note
selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the

of a Note shall be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 12. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Notes or the Guarantees with the consent of the Required Noteholders, including consents obtained in connection with a
purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes, and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 of the Indenture, any existing Default or Event of Default (except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal, premium, if
any, or interest on the Notes) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes (except for certain covenants and provisions of the Indenture which cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder) may be waived with the consent of
the Required Noteholders, including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the
Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Notes or the Guarantees to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide the 

  

 A-8 

 
assumption of the Company’ or any Guarantor’s obligations to Holders (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 5.01 of the
Indenture), to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to
surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or any Guarantor, to comply with requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to
evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements thereof, to add a Guarantor under the Indenture, to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the
transfer and legending of Notes (provided, however, that (i) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and
(ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes), or to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by the Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents or any
release of Collateral that becomes effective as set forth in the Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents. 
 13. Defaults and
Remedies. Each of the following is an Event of Default under the Indenture: (a) the failure by the Company to pay any installment of interest (including defaulted interest) on the Notes as and when the same becomes due and payable and
the continuance of any such failure for 30 days; (b) the failure by the Company to pay all or any part of the principal or premium, if any, on the Notes when and as the same becomes due and payable at maturity, redemption, by acceleration or
otherwise including, without limitation, payment of the offer price required to be paid in any Change of Control Offer, Event of Loss Offer or the Asset Sale Offer, or otherwise; (c) the failure by the Company or any of the Company’s
Restricted Subsidiaries after written notice from the Trustee or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.13, 4.19, 4.22 or 5.01 of the Indenture; (d) the
failure by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to observe or perform any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture (other than those referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above), or to observe or
perform any material covenant or agreement contained in any other Note Document, and, in any such case, the continuance of such failure for a period of 30 days after written notice is given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the
Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding; (e) a default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
Indebtedness for money borrowed (other than Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes) by the Company, any Guarantor or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of the Guarantors),
whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the Issue Date, which default: (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness, after the expiration of any grace period
applicable to such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or (B) (x) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity or (y) if such Indebtedness was
incurred pursuant to clause (1) of paragraph (b) of Section 4.09 of the Indenture, would permit the holder(s) of such Indebtedness (or an agent on behalf of such holder(s)) to declare such Indebtedness immediately due and payable
prior to its express maturity, and in either case (A) or (B), either (i) such Indebtedness was incurred pursuant to clause (1) of paragraph (b) of Section 4.09 of the Indenture or (ii) the principal amount of any

  

 A-9 

 
such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which
has been so accelerated, aggregates $5,000,000 or more; (f) failure by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of $500,000 (to the extent not covered by

Documents, the cessation of effectiveness of any Guarantee of the Note Obligations by any Significant Subsidiary of the Company or the finding by any judicial proceeding that any such Guarantee is unenforceable or invalid in any material respect or
the denial or disaffirmation by any Significant Subsidiary in writing of its obligations under its Guarantee; (h) a default by the Company or any Guarantor in the performance of any of their respective obligations under the Collateral
Documents, or the failure of any of the representations or warranties contained in the Collateral Documents to be true and correct as of and on the times specified therein, in each case which materially and adversely affects the enforceability,
validity, perfection or priority of the Trustee’s Lien on the Collateral or which materially and adversely affects the condition or value of the Collateral, taken as a whole, a repudiation or disaffirmation by the Company or any Guarantor of
its obligations under the Collateral Documents or the determination in a judicial proceeding that the Collateral Documents are unenforceable or invalid against the Company or any Guarantor for any reason; (i) the occurrence of any of the
following: (A) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Collateral Document ceases for any reason to be fully enforceable; provided, that it will not be an Event of Default under this clause (i)(A) if the sole result of the failure of
one or more Collateral Document to be fully enforceable is that any Lien purported to be granted under such Collateral Documents on Collateral, individually or in the aggregate, having a Fair Market Value of not more than $1,000,000 ceases to be an
enforceable and perfected Lien, subject only to Permitted Prior Liens and such failure is remedied within 30 days after notice thereof by the Collateral Agent, Trustee or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes than
outstanding; or (B) the Company or any other Pledgor, or any Person acting on behalf of any of them, denies or disaffirms, in writing, any obligation of the Company or any other Pledgor set forth in or arising under any Collateral Document; or
(j) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, when taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, each as described in the Indenture. 
 If any Event of Default (other than those arising from certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency described in the Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, and the Trustee upon the request of Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
outstanding Notes may,, declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the Indenture, all outstanding Notes shall
become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, the Required Noteholders may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interest. The Required Noteholders by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of 

  

 A-10 

 
Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the
Notes and in respect of a covenant or provision which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each affected Holder. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the
Indenture, and the Company is required within 30 days after becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 
 14. Trustee Dealings with Company. Subject to certain limitations, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner
or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
 15. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations
of the Company or of the Guarantors under the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Collateral Documents 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. 
 16. Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any
time, upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein, of (i) the entire indebtedness of this Note or (ii) certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note. 
 17. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

 18. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants
in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 
 19. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has
caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or
as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 
 The Company
shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to: Caraustar Industries, Inc., 5000 Austell Powder Springs Road, Suite 300, Austell, Georgia 30106-3227, Attention: General Counsel.

 [FORM OF NOTATION ON NOTE 
 RELATING TO GUARANTEES] 
 GUARANTEES 
 The Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture (the “Indenture”) referred to in the Note upon which this notation is endorsed and each hereinafter referred
to as a “Guarantor”) have unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis (such guarantee by each Guarantor being referred to herein as the “Guarantee”) (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of
and interest on the Notes in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any interest, if any, to the extent lawful, of the
Notes and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders all in accordance with the terms set forth in of the Indenture and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any of such other obligations, that
the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 
 Each Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by such Guarantor after giving effect to all of its other contingent
and fixed liabilities without rendering such Guaranty, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

The obligations of the undersigned to the Holders of the Notes and to the Trustee pursuant to the Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article X of
the Indenture and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for the precise terms of the Guarantee and all other of the provisions of the Indenture to which this Guarantee relates. 
 No past, present or future stockholder, director, officer, employee or incorporator, as such, of any of the Guarantors shall have any liability for any obligation of the Guarantors under the Guarantee or the Indenture
or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of a Note by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of
the Guarantees.

 FORM OF 
 CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT 
 This CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is made as of the [    ] day of [            ], 20[    ], by and among CARAUSTAR INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the “Corporation”) and the undersigned beneficial owner of Notes (as defined below) of the Corporation (the “Holder”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H : 
 WHEREAS, the Holder may obtain Confidential Information (as defined below)
from the Corporation and/or from other persons and entities that are stockholders and/or holders of Notes of the Corporation and their Affiliates (as defined below) (such other persons and entities that are stockholders of the Corporation and their
Affiliates, “Other Holders”); and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Indenture dated as of August [20], 2009
(the “Indenture”) among the Corporation, the Guarantors named therein, and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee, pursuant to which the Corporation issued its Senior Secured Notes Due 2014 (the “Notes”), the Holder is
entering into this Agreement to confirm its undertaking to maintain the confidentiality of any such Confidential Information on the terms set forth herein; 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements, covenants and provisions contained herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
  

	1	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

  

	1.1	 Confidentiality. The Holder hereby agrees that, during the period (the “Confidentiality Period”) commencing on the date of this Agreement
and ending on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the date on which the Holder no longer beneficially owns any Notes or any shares of the Corporation’s common stock or (ii) the earlier of the consummation of a Qualified Public
Offering (as defined in the Section 6.6 of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation) or the registration of the Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Holder will keep strictly confidential and will
not disclose or divulge to any other person or entity (other than as permitted by Section 1.2) any confidential, business, financial or proprietary information regarding the Corporation, including the information described in Section 4.03
of the Indenture, or any confidential information regarding the business or affairs of any other stockholder in respect of the Corporation (whether in written, oral or electronic form), that is obtained from the Corporation, the Corporation’s
legal and financial advisors or any other agents or advisors engaged by the Corporation, or from any Other Holder (“Confidential Information”), 

	 	 
unless such Confidential Information is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 1.1
by such Holder or its Affiliates (as such term is defined in the Indenture)) or is or becomes available to such Holder on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Corporation or its Affiliates or any Other Holder (provided that the
Holder is not aware that such source is under an obligation to keep such Confidential Information confidential). 

  

	1.2	Permitted Disclosure of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding Section 1.1, the Holder may disclose Confidential Information as follows: 

  

	 	(a)	Confidential Information may be provided, on a confidential basis, to the Holder’s Affiliates and the officers, directors, employees, partners, members, representatives,
attorneys, accountants, other professional advisors, and financing sources of the Holder and its Affiliates, to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the Holder’s investment in the Corporation; provided, however, that
the Holder shall be responsible for ensuring that its Affiliates and such officers, directors, employees, partners, members, representatives, attorneys, accountants, other professional advisors and financing sources comply with the restrictions in
this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Confidential Information may be provided, on a confidential basis, to an actual or potential transferee of all or a portion of the Holder’s Notes, to the extent reasonably
necessary to consummate a sale or Transfer of such Notes permitted by the terms of the Indenture; provided, however, that (x) in the case that such actual or potential transferee is a material customer, supplier or competitor of the Corporation
(a “Restricted Person”), such disclosure shall be permitted only if such Restricted Person has been expressly authorized by the Corporation’s Board of Directors to receive Confidential Information, and (y) prior to the
Holder’s delivery of Confidential Information to an actual or potential transferee pursuant to this paragraph, such actual or potential transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Holder a joinder to this agreement in the form attached
hereto as Annex 1 or such other form as may be approved by, and available from, the Secretary of the Corporation (the “Confidentiality Joinder”). The Holder shall deliver a copy of such executed Confidentiality Joinder to the Corporation.

  

	 	(c)	 In the event that the Holder (x) determines, in good faith upon the advice of counsel, that disclosure of Confidential Information is required under applicable
law or regulation, or (y) is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process, or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the
Holder) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the Holder, to the extent legally permitted, will promptly provide the Corporation with written notice so that the Corporation may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy.
Provided that such notice (to the extent legally permitted) is furnished, if, in the absence of a protective order, the Holder is, in the opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose Confidential Information or else be held liable for contempt or
suffer other censure or penalty, the Holder may disclose 

  

 C-2 

	 	 
pursuant to this clause (c) only that portion of such Confidential Information that such counsel has advised must be disclosed without liability under
this Agreement. 

  

	2	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

  

	2.1	Ownership and Authority. The Holder represents and warrants that, (i) the Holder is a beneficial owner or investment advisor for the beneficial owner of Notes, and
(ii) this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other laws
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and the effect and application of general principles of equity and the availability of equitable remedies). 

  

	3	MISCELLANEOUS 

  

	3.1	Term and Termination. All the rights and obligations of the Holder set forth in this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the conclusion of the Confidentiality
Period. 

  

	3.2	Notices. All notices, requests, waivers and other communications made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been effectively given
(a) when personally delivered to the party to be notified; (b) when sent by confirmed facsimile to the party to be notified; (c) three business days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, by certified or registered
mail with return receipt requested, addressed to the party to be notified; or (d) one business day after deposit with a national overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to be notified with next-business day delivery
guaranteed, in each case as follows: (i) in the case of the Holder and any Other Holder, to such Holder and Other Holder at its address or facsimile number set forth in the stock records of the Corporation; and (ii) in the case of the
Corporation, to the Secretary of the Corporation at the Corporation’s principal executive office. A party may change its address for purposes of notice hereunder by giving notice of such change to all other parties in the manner provided in
this Section 3.2. 

  

	3.3	Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 

  

	3.4	Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and agreements among any of the parties hereto (and their Affiliates) with respect to the
subject matter hereof and contains the sole entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be signed by facsimile and in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all
of which shall be deemed to constitute a single instrument. 

  

	3.5	Amendment. This Agreement may be amended with the written approval of the Corporation and the Holder. 

  

	3.6	Headings. The headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement.

  

 C-3 

	3.7	Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without
regard to its conflicts of law doctrine. The Corporation and the Holder hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the Bankruptcy Court (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), (ii) the courts of the State of Delaware, and
(iii) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State Court sitting in the City of New York, and any judicial proceeding brought against the Corporation or any Holder with respect to any dispute
arising out of this Agreement or any matter related hereto shall be brought only in such courts. The Corporation and the Holder hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may have or hereafter have to the
laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Corporation and the Holder hereby consent to process being served in any
such proceeding by the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address specified in Section 3.2, or in any other manner permitted by law. THE CORPORATION AND THE HOLDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY,
AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. 

  

	3.8	Ownership. The Corporation believes that the Confidential Information is owned solely and exclusively by the Corporation and no right or title to any of the Confidential
Information is transferred to the Holder hereby or by its delivery to the Holder hereunder. 

  

	3.9	Injunctive Relief. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered by the Corporation if the Holder
fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed on it by this Agreement and that in the event of any such failure, the Corporation will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. The Corporation, therefore, shall be
entitled to seek injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Holder shall not raise the defense that there is
an adequate remedy at law. The parties hereby waive, and cause their respective representatives to waive, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any action brought for injunctive relief hereunder.

  

	3.10	Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the
remainder of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 FORM OF 
 CONFIDENTIALITY JOINDER 
 [Date] 
 [NAME OF POTENTIAL TRANSFEREE]

 [ADDRESS] 
 Attention: 
  

	Re:	Confidentiality Agreement 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 In connection with a possible transaction (the “Transaction”) involving the transfer of Senior Secured Notes of Caraustar Industries,
Inc. (the “Corporation”) beneficially held by [INSERT NAME OF TRANSFERRING HOLDER] (the “Holder”) to [INSERT NAME OF POTENTIAL TRANSFEREE] (the “Potential Transferee”), the Holder is prepared to
make available to the Potential Transferee certain confidential, business, financial and/or proprietary information relating to the Corporation which the Holder received from the Corporation or from other holders of common stock or Senior Secured
Notes of the Corporation (“Confidential Information”) pursuant to that certain Confidentiality Agreement dated as of
                    , between the Corporation and the Holder (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). As a condition to such Confidential
Information being furnished to the Potential Transferee, the Potential Transferee agrees that it will comply with the following terms of this letter agreement (the “Confidentiality Joinder”): 
 1. Confidential Information. The Potential Transferee recognizes and acknowledges the competitive value and confidential nature of the
Confidential Information and the damage that could result to the Corporation and the Holder if any Confidential Information is disclosed to a third party, and hereby agrees that it will keep strictly confidential and will not disclose, divulge or
use for any purpose, other than to evaluate the Transaction, the Confidential Information delivered, disclosed or furnished (irrespective of the form of communication) by, or on behalf of, the Holder to the Potential Transferee, unless such
Confidential Information is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 1 by the Potential Transferee or its Affiliates (as such term is defined in the Corporation’s Certificate of
Incorporation)) or is or becomes available to such Potential Transferee on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Holder or its Affiliates; provided, however, that any of the Confidential Information may be disclosed to
any of the Potential Transferee’s Affiliates and the directors, officers, employees, partners, members, representatives, attorneys, accountants, other professional advisors and financing sources of the Potential Transferee and its Affiliates
that need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating the Transaction. The Potential Transferee agrees to ensure that its Affiliates and such officers, directors, employees, partners, members, representatives, attorneys, accountants,
other 

 
professional advisors and financing sources comply with the restrictions in this Agreement and the Potential Transferee accepts responsibility for any
violation of this Agreement by any of such persons. 
 2. Disclosure of Confidential Information. In the event that the Potential
Transferee (i) determines, in good faith upon the advice of counsel, that disclosure of Confidential Information is required under applicable law or regulation, or (ii) is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, request
for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process, or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Potential Transferee) to disclose any of the Confidential Information or to take any other action
prohibited hereby, the Potential Transferee, to the extent legally permitted, will promptly provide the Holder and the Corporation with written notice so that they may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, and/or waive compliance
with the provisions of this Agreement. Provided that such foregoing notice (if legally permitted) is furnished, if, in the absence of a protective order, the Potential Transferee is, in the opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose Confidential
Information or else be held liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, the Potential Transferee may disclose pursuant to this paragraph only that portion of such Confidential Information that such counsel has advised must be disclosed,
without liability under this Agreement. 
 3. Return and Destruction of Confidential Information. In the event that the Potential
Transferee decides not to proceed with the Transaction, the Potential Transferee will promptly inform the Holder of that decision. In that case, or at any time upon the request of the Holder for any reason, the Potential Transferee will as directed
by the Holder promptly deliver to the Holder or the Corporation all Confidential Information (and any copies thereof) furnished to the Potential Transferee and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members,
representatives, attorneys, accountants, other professional advisors and financing sources, by or on behalf of the Holder pursuant hereto. In the event of such a decision or request, all other Confidential Information prepared by the Potential
Transferee or on the Potential Transferee’s behalf, shall be returned or destroyed. Upon the Holder’s request, the Potential Transferee shall provide the Holder with prompt written confirmation of the Potential Transferee’s compliance
with this paragraph. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Potential Transferee and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, partners or members shall continue to be bound by the obligations of
confidentiality and other obligations and agreements hereunder. 
 4. No Representations or Warranties. The Potential Transferee
understands, acknowledges and agrees that neither the Corporation nor the Holder makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information furnished hereunder, and neither the
Corporation nor the Holder shall have any liability to the Potential Transferee or to any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, partners or members relating to or resulting from the use of the Confidential Information or any errors
therein or omissions therefrom. Only those representations or warranties which are made in a final definitive agreement regarding any transactions contemplated hereby, when, as and if executed and delivered, and subject to such limitations and
restrictions as may be specified therein, will have any legal effect. 
  

 2 

 5. Injunctive Relief. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure
in money the damages that would be suffered by the Corporation and the Holder if the Potential Transferee fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed on it by this Agreement and that in the event of any such failure, the Holder and the
Corporation will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. The Holder and the Corporation, therefore, shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, and if any
action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Potential Transferee shall not raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. The parties hereby waive, and cause their respective representatives
to waive, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any action brought for injunctive relief hereunder. 
 6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of law doctrine. The Holder and the Potential Transferee hereby submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the courts of the State of Delaware, and (ii) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State Court sitting in the City of New York, and any judicial proceeding
brought against the Holder or the Potential Transferee with respect to any dispute arising out of this Agreement or any matter related hereto shall be brought only in such courts. The Holder and the Potential Transferee hereby irrevocably waive, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may have or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum. The Holder and the Potential Transferee hereby consent to process being served in any such proceeding by the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address specified below, or in any
other manner permitted by law. THE HOLDER AND THE POTENTIAL TRANSFEREE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. 
 7. Term. This Agreement will terminate two years from the date hereof; provided, that no such termination of this Agreement shall relieve the
Potential Transferee from any liability relating to any breach of this Agreement. 
 8. Notices. All notices, requests, waivers and
other communications made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been effectively given (a) when personally delivered to the party to be notified; (b) when sent by confirmed facsimile to the party to be
notified; (c) three business days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, by certified or registered mail with return receipt requested, addressed to the party to be notified; or (d) one business day after deposit with a
national overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to be notified with next-business day delivery guaranteed, in each case as follows:

 9. Miscellaneous. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Holder and the
Potential Transferee regarding its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, arrangements and discussions between the Holder and the Potential Transferee regarding such subject matter. It is understood and agreed that no
failure or delay by the Holder in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege hereunder. No provision in this Agreement can be waived or amended except by written consent of the Holder, the Potential Transferee and the Corporation, which consent shall specifically refer to the provision to be waived
or amended and shall explicitly make such waiver or amendment. This Agreement may be signed by facsimile and in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall be deemed to constitute a single instrument.
If any provision of this Agreement is found to violate any statute, regulation, rule, order or decree of any governmental authority, court, agency or exchange, such invalidity shall not be deemed to affect any other provision hereof or the validity
of the remainder of this Agreement, and such invalid provision shall be deemed deleted herefrom to the minimum extent necessary to cure such violation. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties
hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, including any successors of substantially all of the assets or business of a party, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets, purchase of stock or otherwise. The Potential Transferee may
not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Holder. The Potential Transferee agrees and acknowledges that the Corporation shall be an express third party beneficiary hereof, having all rights to enforce this Agreement.

 SENIOR SECURED NOTE DUE 2014 
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 1. Interest. Caraustar Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company” which term shall include any successor thereto in accordance with the Indenture), promises to pay interest (including any Accrued Bankruptcy Interest) on the principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum set
forth below until maturity. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest
Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date; provided, however, that if there is no existing Default in
the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. The Company shall
pay interest (including Accrued Bankruptcy Interest) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time at a rate of 17% per annum; it shall pay interest (including Accrued Bankruptcy Interest) on overdue installments of interest (without
regard to any applicable grace periods), from time to time, at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 With respect to interest on this Note
for a semiannual period due on an Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect either (i) to pay interest on the Notes on such Interest Payment Date by payment of cash interest for such semiannual period at a rate of 10% per annum or
(ii) to pay interest on the Notes on such Interest Payment Date by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (or issuing additional Notes) (“PIK Interest”) in an amount equal to interest on the Notes for
such semiannual period at a rate of 15% per annum; provided, however, that the interest rate payable on the Notes with respect to any portion of an interest period during which an Event of Default (other than the failure to pay
principal, premium or interest) shall have occurred and be continuing shall be 12% per annum, if paid in cash, and 17% per annum, if paid in PIK Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on this Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons in whose name
this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the January 31 or July 31 next preceding the Interest Payment Date (each, a “Record Date”), even if this Note is cancelled after
such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, at the office or
agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar, or, at the option of the Company, payment of cash interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the Security Register; provided, that, all cash payments of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

 All PIK Interest payable pursuant to this Note will be payable by increasing the principal amount of this
Note by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable semiannual interest period (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar) (or, if necessary, pursuant to requirements of the depository or otherwise, to authenticate a new Global
Note executed by the Company with such increased principal amounts. If the Company elects to pay PIK Interest on any Interest Payment Date it must deliver, not less than 45 days prior to such Interest Payment Date, an Authentication Order to the
Trustee specifying the aggregate amount of PIK Interest to be paid through increases in the Global Note and through the issuance of additional Notes; provided, however, the Company shall deliver an updated Authentication Order on the
day preceding an Interest Payment Date to the extent modifications in the amount of PIK Interest to be paid are needed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture due to the continuation or cessation of an Event of Default. On the relevant
Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall record increases in the Global Note and authenticate additional Notes, as appropriate, in the aggregate principal amounts required to pay the PIK Interest then due.

permitted by the Indenture, any Collateral Document ceases for any reason to be fully enforceable; provided, that it will not be an Event of Default under this clause (i)(A) if the sole result of the failure of one or more Collateral Document
to be fully enforceable is that any Lien purported to be granted under such Collateral Documents on Collateral, individually or in the aggregate, having a Fair Market Value of not more than $1,000,000 ceases to be an enforceable and perfected Lien,
subject only to Permitted Prior Liens and such failure is remedied within 30 days after notice thereof by the Collateral Agent, Trustee or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes than outstanding; or (B) the Company
or any other Pledgor, or any Person acting on behalf of any of them, denies or disaffirms, in writing, any obligation of the Company or any other Pledgor set forth in or arising under any Collateral Document; or (j) certain events of

declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the Indenture, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable
immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, the Required Noteholders may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or
power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.
The Required Noteholders by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment
of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes and in respect of a covenant or provision which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each affected Holder. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually

 GUARANTEES 
 The Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture (the “Indenture”) referred to in the Note upon which this notation is endorsed and each hereinafter referred to as a “Guarantor”) have unconditionally guaranteed
on a senior secured basis (such guarantee by each Guarantor being referred to herein as the “Guarantee”) (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes in full when due, subject to any applicable
grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any interest, if any, to the extent lawful, of the Notes and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders all in
accordance with the terms set forth in of the Indenture and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 
 Each Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by such Guarantor after giving effect to all of its other contingent and fixed liabilities without rendering such Guaranty, as it relates to
such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 
 The obligations of the undersigned to the Holders of the Notes and to the Trustee pursuant to the Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article X of the Indenture and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for the
precise terms of the Guarantee and all other of the provisions of the Indenture to which this Guarantee relates. 
 No past, present or future stockholder,
director, officer, employee or incorporator, as such, of any of the Guarantors shall have any liability for any obligation of the Guarantors under the Guarantee or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such

assigns to the Agent, and grants to the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Holders, a continuing security interest in, and Lien on such Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the following (collectively, the “Pledged
Collateral”): 
 (a) the indebtedness described in Schedule I and all other indebtedness from time to time owing to such
Pledgor (the “Pledged Debt”), any promissory notes and other instruments evidencing the Pledged Debt, and all interest, cash, instruments, investment property and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise
distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Debt; 
 (b) the shares of Capital Stock described in Schedule
II (the “Pledged Shares”), whether or not evidenced or represented by any stock certificate, certificated security or other instrument, issued by the Persons described in such Schedule II (the “Existing
Issuers”), the certificates representing the Pledged Shares, all options and other rights, contractual or otherwise, in respect thereof and all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments, investment property and other property (including,
but not limited to, any stock dividend and any distribution in connection with a stock split) from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Shares; 
 (c) the shares of Capital Stock at any time and from time to time acquired by such Pledgor of any and all Persons now or hereafter existing (such
Persons, together with the Existing Issuers, being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Pledged Issuers” and individually as a “Pledged Issuer”), the certificates representing such Capital Stock, all options
and other rights, contractual or otherwise, in respect thereof and all dividends, distributions, cash, 

  

 3 

 
instruments, investment property and other property (including, but not limited to, any stock dividend and any distribution in connection with a stock split)
from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the foregoing; 
 (d) all
investment property, financial assets, securities, Capital Stock, other equity interests, stock options and commodity contracts of such Pledgor, all notes, debentures, bonds, promissory notes or other evidences of indebtedness of such Pledgor, and
all other assets now or hereafter received or receivable with respect to the foregoing; 
 (e) all security entitlements of such Pledgor in
any and all of the foregoing; and 
 (f) all proceeds (including proceeds of proceeds) of any and all of the foregoing; 
 in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Pledgor and howsoever its interest therein may arise or appear (whether by ownership, security interest,
Lien, claim or otherwise). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pledged Collateral shall not include any Excluded Assets (as defined in the Security
Agreement). The Pledgors agree that the pledge of shares of Capital Stock of any Pledged Issuer that is organized or formed under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the District of Columbia or any State of the United States of America (a
“Foreign Jurisdiction”), in favor of the Agent hereunder may, be supplemented by one or more separate pledge agreements, deeds of pledge, share charges, or other similar agreements or instruments, executed and delivered by the
relevant Pledgor in favor of the Agent, which pledge agreements will provide for the pledge of such shares of Capital Stock in accordance with the laws of such Foreign Jurisdiction that will result in the perfection of the Lien created in such
shares of Capital Stock, under the laws of such Foreign Jurisdiction. To the extent that any such pledge of such shares of Capital Stock in accordance with the laws of such Foreign Jurisdiction or such actions of the Agent to perfect its Lien in
such shares of Capital Stock would result in the pledge of more than 65% of the outstanding Capital Stock of any Foreign Stock Subsidiary (as defined in the Security Agreement) or any Capital Stock of a Subsidiary of any Foreign Stock Subsidiary,
the Pledgors shall not be required to enter into such pledge agreements and the Agent shall not take such actions to perfect its Lien in such shares of Capital Stock. 
 SECTION 3. Security for Note Obligations. The security interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral constitutes continuing collateral security for the due payment and performance of the Note Obligations.

 SECTION 4. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral. 
 (a) (i) All promissory notes currently evidencing the Pledged Debt, other than that certain note made by Idlewild Paper Corporation in favor of Caraustar Industries, Inc. (as successor to Carolina Paper Board
Corporation) in the original principal amount of $137,011.00 and any promissory notes or other instruments evidencing Pledged Debt in an outstanding principal amount of less than $100,000, and all certificates currently representing the Pledged
Shares (other than the certificates representing the Pledged Shares of Caraustar Industrial & 

  

 4 

 
Consumer Products Group, Ltd.) shall be delivered to the Agent, on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All other promissory notes,
certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral from time to time required to be pledged to the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Indenture (the “Additional Collateral”) other than any promissory
notes or other instruments evidencing Pledged Debt in an outstanding principal amount of less than $100,000 shall be delivered to the Agent (or, with respect to Pledged Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral, until the date upon which the
Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, to the Credit Facility Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) as promptly as reasonably practicable upon receipt thereof by or on behalf of any of the Pledgors. All such
promissory notes, certificates and instruments shall be held by or on behalf of the Agent pursuant hereto and shall be delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment
or undated stock powers executed in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. If any Pledged Collateral consists of security entitlements, such Pledgor shall transfer such security entitlements to the Agent (or its
custodian, nominee or other designee), or cause the applicable securities intermediary to agree that it will comply with entitlement orders by the Agent (or such custodian nominee or other designee) without further consent by such Pledgor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 4(a)(i) shall apply to Pledged Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral only from the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations occurs. 
 (ii) Within five (5) days of the receipt by a Pledgor of any Additional Collateral (other than any promissory notes or other instruments evidencing
Pledged Debt in an outstanding principal amount of less than $100,000), a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by such Pledgor, in substantially the form of Annex I (a “Pledge Amendment”), shall be delivered to the Agent, in
respect of the Additional Collateral which must be pledged pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture. The Additional Collateral shown on Schedule 1 to such Pledge Amendment shall from and after delivery thereof constitute part of
Schedules I and II. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all promissory notes, certificates or instruments listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to the Agent (or,
with respect to Pledged Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral, until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, to the Credit Facility Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) shall for
all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Collateral and such Pledgor shall be deemed upon delivery thereof to have made the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 with respect to such Additional Collateral. 
 (b) If any Pledgor shall receive, by virtue of such Pledgor’s being or having been an owner of any Pledged Collateral (other than, until the date
upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, any Pledged Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral), any (i) stock certificate (including any certificate representing a stock dividend or distribution in connection with any
increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares, stock split, spin-off or split-off), promissory note or other instrument, (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to,
substitution for, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, or otherwise, (iii) dividends payable in cash (except such dividends permitted to be retained by any such Pledgor pursuant to Section 7) or in securities or other
property or (iv) dividends, distributions, cash, instruments, investment property and other property in connection 

  

 5 

 
with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid in surplus, such Pledgor shall
receive such stock certificate, promissory note, instrument, option, right, payment or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall segregate it from such Pledgor’s other property and shall deliver it forthwith to be held by the
Agent, or hold it on the behalf of the Agent, in the exact form received, with any necessary indorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Agent, or held on the behalf of the Agent, as Pledged Collateral and
as further collateral security for the Note Obligations. 
 SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Pledgor represents and
warrants as follows: 
 (a) Such Pledgor (i) is a corporation, limited liability company or general partnership duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the state, province or other applicable jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business as now conducted and as presently contemplated and to
execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each other Note Document to be executed and delivered by it pursuant hereto and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (iii) is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except where the absence of any such qualification or standing could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) The execution, delivery and performance by such Pledgor of this
Agreement (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action, (ii) do not contravene its (x) charter or by-laws, its limited liability company or operating agreement or its certificate of partnership or partnership agreement, as
applicable, or (y) any material applicable law or any material contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its properties (including the ABL Loan Documents), (iii) do not result in or require the creation of any Lien
(other than pursuant to any Note Document or ABL Loan Document) upon or with respect to any of its properties, other than Liens securing obligations in an aggregate amount not exceeding $100,000 and (iv) do not result in any default,
noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to it or its operations or any of its properties. 
 (c) The Existing Issuers set forth in Schedule II are the Pledgors’ only wholly-owned (by several Pledgors, in the case of Caraustar, G.P.),
directly-owned Subsidiaries existing on the date hereof. The Pledged Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and the holders thereof are not entitled to any preemptive, first refusal or other similar
rights. Except as noted in Schedule II, the Pledged Shares constitute 100% of the issued shares of Capital Stock of the Pledged Issuers as of the date hereof. 
 (d) [Intentionally omitted]. 
 (e) Except with respect to transfers made in compliance with the Indenture
and other than a Permitted Liens that is an inchoate Lien securing obligations for the payment of money not overdue or not otherwise due and payable, each Pledgor is and will be at all times the legal and beneficial owner of its Pledged Collateral
free and clear of all Liens, except for the Liens created by this Agreement, the other Note Documents and the ABL Loan Documents. 
  

 6 

 (f) The exercise by the Agent of any of its rights and remedies expressly enumerated in this Agreement
will not contravene any law or any material contractual restriction binding on or affecting any Pledgor or any of the material properties of any Pledgor and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the
properties of such Pledgor other than pursuant to this Agreement, the other Note Documents and the ABL Loan Documents. 
 (g) Except for the
filing of financing statements to the extent necessary to perfect the Lien created hereby, no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by such
Pledgor for (i) the due execution, delivery and performance by any Pledgor of this Agreement, (ii) the grant by any Pledgor, or the perfection, of the Lien created hereby in the Pledged Collateral (other than Pledged Collateral
constituting Capital Stock (whether or not certificated) of any Pledged Issuer who is organized or formed under the laws of a Foreign Jurisdiction) or (iii) the exercise by the Agent of any of its rights and remedies expressly enumerated in
this Agreement (other than with respect to Pledged Collateral constituting Capital Stock (whether or not certificated) of any Pledged Issuer who is organized or formed under the laws of a Foreign Jurisdiction), except as may be required in
connection with any sale of any Pledged Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally and other than those that have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect. 
 (h) This Agreement creates a valid Lien in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Holders, in the Pledged Collateral as security for the
Note Obligations to the extent governed by the Code. The Agent’s having possession (or, with respect to Pledged Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral, the Credit Facility Collateral Agent having possession, as agent or bailee for the
Agent pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) of the promissory notes and other instruments evidencing the Pledged Debt, the certificates representing the Pledged Shares and all other certificates, instruments and cash constituting
Pledged Collateral from time to time results in the perfection of such Lien to the extent governed by the Code. Such Lien on the Pledged Collateral is a perfected, first priority Lien (or, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, a perfected Lien
with regards to Pledged Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral subject only to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations) subject, as to priority, only to Permitted Liens that are inchoate Liens securing obligations for the payment of money
not overdue or not otherwise due or being contested in good faith by the relevant Pledgor and other Liens expressly permitted under the terms of the Indenture. All action necessary to perfect such Lien on any Pledged Collateral shall have been duly
taken upon the filing of a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement (in the case of Pledged Collateral as to which a security interest may be perfected under the Code by filing) or the Agent’s having possession (or, with respect to Pledged
Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral, the Credit Facility Collateral Agent having possession, as agent or bailee for the Agent pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) of certificates, promissory notes or other instruments
and cash constituting such Pledged Collateral. 
  

 7 

 SECTION 6. Covenants as to the Pledged Collateral. So long as any of the Note Obligations shall
remain outstanding (other than contingent obligations or indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), each Pledgor will, unless the Agent shall otherwise consent in writing: 
 (a) keep adequate records concerning the Pledged Collateral and, upon the reasonable request of the Agent, permit the Agent or any agents, designees or
representatives thereof at any time or from time to time to examine and make copies of and abstracts from such records; 
 (b) at the
Pledgors’ joint and several expense, promptly deliver to the Agent a copy of each material notice or other material communication received by it in respect of the Pledged Collateral; 
 (c) at the Pledgors’ joint and several expense, defend the Agent’s right, title and security interest in and to the Pledged Collateral against
the claims of any Person other than Liens created by this Agreement, the other Note Documents and Permitted Liens; 
 (d) at the
Pledgors’ joint and several expense, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action reasonably necessary in order to (i) perfect and protect, or maintain
the perfection of, the security interest and Lien created hereby, (ii) enable the Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Pledged Collateral or (iii) otherwise effect the purposes of this
Agreement, including delivering to the Agent irrevocable proxies in respect of the Pledged Collateral (other than, until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, Pledged Collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral);

 (e) not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), exchange or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral or any interest therein
except as expressly permitted by Section 4.13 of the Indenture; 
 (f) not create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to
any Pledged Collateral, except for the Lien created hereby, by the other Note Documents and Permitted Liens; 
 (g) not make or consent to
any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any Pledged Collateral or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any Pledged Collateral other than pursuant to the Note Documents and the ABL Loan
Documents; 
 (h) not permit the issuance of (i) any additional shares of any Capital Stock of any Pledged Issuer, (ii) any
securities convertible voluntarily by the holder thereof or automatically upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition into, or exchangeable for, any such shares of Capital Stock or (iii) any warrants, options, contracts or
other commitments entitling any Person to purchase or otherwise acquire any such shares of Capital Stock, except in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), to the extent any such issuance is not prohibited by the
Indenture; and 
  

 8 

 (i) not take or fail to take any action which would in any manner impair the validity or enforceability
of the Agent’s security interest in and Lien on any Pledged Collateral. 
 SECTION 7. Voting Rights, Dividends, Etc. in Respect of
the Pledged Collateral. 
 (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: 
 (i) each Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral for any purpose not inconsistent with
the terms of this Agreement, the Indenture or the other Note Documents; provided, however, that (A) without the Agent’s prior written consent, none of the Pledgors will exercise or refrain from exercising any such right, as
the case may be, if such action (or inaction) is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and (B) each Pledgor will give the Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or
the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; 
 (ii) each of the
Pledgors may receive and retain any and all dividends, interest or other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent not prohibited by the Indenture; provided, however, that, except to the extent made as part
of a transaction or series of related transactions otherwise permitted by the Indenture, any and all (A) dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or
otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution
or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, together with any dividend, interest or other
distribution or payment which at the time of such payment was not permitted by the Indenture, shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to the Agent, to hold as, Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by any of the Pledgors, be received in trust
for the benefit of the Agent, shall be segregated from the other property or funds of the Pledgors, and, upon the request of the Agent, shall be forthwith delivered to the Agent in the exact form received with any necessary indorsement and/or
appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Note Obligations; provided, further, that the applicable Pledgor shall provide prompt notice of
any such distributions or payments received; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 7(a)(ii) shall not apply to any Pledged Collateral which constitutes ABL Priority Collateral until the Discharge of ABL
Obligations; and 
 (iii) the Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to a Pledgor all such proxies and other
instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) and to receive the dividends, interest
and/or other distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii). 
 (b) Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
 (i) all rights of each Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights
which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i), and to receive the dividends, distributions, interest and other payments that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to
Section 7(a)(ii), shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral
such dividends and interest payments; 
  

 9 

 (ii) the Agent is authorized to notify each debtor with respect to the Pledged Debt to make payment
directly to the Agent (or its designee) and may collect any and all moneys due or to become due to any Pledgor in respect of the Pledged Debt, and each of the Pledgors hereby authorizes each such debtor to make such payment directly to the Agent (or
its designee) without any duty of inquiry; 
 (iii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent may at its option exercise
any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all
of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of any Pledged Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Pledged Issuer of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Collateral,
and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine; and 
 (iv) all dividends, distributions, interest and other payments that are received by any of the Pledgors contrary to the provisions of
Section 7(b)(i) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgors, and unless otherwise directed by Agent, shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent as Pledged Collateral in the
exact form received with any necessary indorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Note Obligations; provided, however,
that the provisions of this Section 7(b) shall not apply to any Pledged Collateral which constitutes ABL Priority Collateral until the Discharge of ABL Obligations. 
 SECTION 8. Additional Provisions Concerning the Pledged Collateral. 
 (a) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and for the purpose of taking any action that the Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of such Pledgor under Section 7(a)), each Pledgor (i) authorizes the Agent to execute any such agreements, instruments or other documents in such Pledgor’s name and to file such
agreements, instruments or other documents in such Pledgor’s name and to file such agreements, instruments, or other documents in any appropriate filing office, (ii) authorizes the Agent to file any financing statements required hereunder
or under any other Note Document, and any continuation statements or amendment with respect thereto, in any appropriate filing office without the signature of such Pledgor and (iii) ratifies the filing of any financing statement, and any
continuation statement or amendment with respect thereto, filed without the signature of such 

  

 10 

 
Pledgor prior to the date hereof. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Pledged Collateral or any part
thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. 
 (b) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as
such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the Agent may take any
action and execute any instrument that the Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Pledgor representing any
dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of any Pledged Collateral and to give full discharge for the same. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the payment in full of the Note Obligations and the
satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to the terms thereunder (such date, the “Termination Date”). 
 (c) If any
Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Agent itself may perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be jointly and severally
payable by the Pledgors pursuant to Section 10 and shall be secured by the Pledged Collateral. 
 (d) Other than the exercise of
reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Pledged Collateral while held hereunder and the accounting for monies and other property actually received by it hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining
thereto and shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering surrender of it to any of the Pledgors. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Agent shall not have responsibility for (i) ascertaining
or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary
steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral. 
 (e) The Company and Caraustar Industrial and Consumer
Products Group, Inc., in their capacities as general partners of Caraustar, G.P., hereby consent to the pledge of and grant of security interest in the Capital Stock in Caraustar, G.P. as provided herein. 
 (f) The Agent may at any time in its discretion during the continuance of an Event of Default (i) without notice to any Pledgor, transfer or
register in the name of the Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral, and (ii) exchange certificates or instruments constituting Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations;
provided, that, until the date on which the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, this Section 8(f) shall not apply to any Pledged Collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral. 
  

 11 

 SECTION 9. Remedies Upon Default. In each case, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: 
 (a) The Agent may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral,
in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code; and without limiting the generality of the foregoing and without notice
except as specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other terms as the Agent may deem
commercially reasonable. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale of Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor
or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of whether or not notice of sale has been given. The Agent may
adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. 
 (b) [Intentionally omitted]. 
 (c) Each
Pledgor recognizes that the Agent may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares or any other securities constituting Pledged Collateral and that the Agent may, therefore, determine to make one or more
private sales of any such securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.
Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such
private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Agent shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to
register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act. Each Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such securities which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other
publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act) or (ii) made privately in the manner described above
to not less than fifteen bona fide offerees shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” for the purposes of Section 9-610(c) of the Code (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision), notwithstanding that such
sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and that the Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities. 
 (d) Any cash held by the Agent as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Pledged Collateral may, in
the discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Agent pursuant to Section 10) in whole or in part by the Agent against, all
or any part of the Note Obligations in such order as the Agent shall elect consistent with the provisions of the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Agent and remaining after the
Termination Date shall be paid over to the Pledgors or to such Person as may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 
  

 12 

 (e) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay
all amounts to which the Agent and the Holders are legally entitled, the Pledgors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any applicable Note Document for interest on
overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs and expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Agent to collect such
deficiency. 
 SECTION 10. Expenses. Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand the amount of any and
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of the Agent’s counsel and of any experts and agents (including any collateral trustee which may act as agent of the
Agent) which the Agent may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody,
preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure by any Pledgor to
perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. 
 SECTION 11. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), telecopied or delivered, if to any Pledgor, to it in care of the Company at its address specified in the Indenture; if to the Agent,
to it at its address specified in the Indenture; or as to any such Person, at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to such other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 11.
All such notices and other communications shall be effective (a) if delivered by overnight courier service, one (1) Business Day after delivery to such courier service, (b) if mailed, when deposited in the mails, (c) if delivered
by facsimile, upon sender’s receipt of confirmation of proper transmission or (d) if delivered, upon delivery. 
 SECTION 12.
Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Agent and the Holders, all Liens and all obligations of each of the Pledgors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the
Indenture or any other Note Document, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Note Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from the
Indenture or any other Note Document, (c) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Note
Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any of the Pledgors in respect of the Note Obligations. All authorizations and agencies contained herein with respect to any
of the Pledged Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest. 
 SECTION 13. New Subsidiaries. Each new Restricted
Domestic Subsidiary (whether by acquisition or creation) of any Pledgor that has a minimum of assets and revenues as required by Section 4.20 of the Indenture is required to enter into this Agreement by executing and delivering in favor of the
Agent an instrument in the form of Annex II. Upon the execution 

  

 13 

 
and delivery of an instrument in the form of Annex II by such new Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Pledgor hereunder with the same force and
effect as if originally named as a Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Pledgor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each
Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Pledgor hereunder. 
 SECTION 14. Consent
and Waiver. By executing this Agreement, each Pledgor, in its capacity as a Pledgor and, as applicable, as a Pledged Issuer, affirmatively consents to (i) the Lien on the Pledged Collateral granted by each of the Pledgors party from time to
time hereto (including any Pledgor who becomes a party hereto in accordance with Section 13) and (ii) any transfer of the Pledged Collateral resulting from the Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies under this Agreement or
any other Note Document, and hereby agrees that such Pledgor will not exercise any rights under any agreement restricting a sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, any Pledgor’s
charter, by-laws, limited liability company agreement, operating agreement, certificate of partnership or partnership agreement, as applicable. 
 SECTION 15. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing
and signed by each Pledgor and the Agent, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any of the Pledgors therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Agent, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 
 (b) No failure on the part of the
Agent or the Holders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Note Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Holders provided herein and in the other Note Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The
rights of the Agent and the Holders under any Note Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Agent or the Holders to exercise any of their rights under any other document against such party or against
any other Person. 
 (c) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 (d) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in and Lien on the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect
until the Termination Date and (ii) be binding on each Pledgor and its respective successors and assigns, and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Agent and the Holders hereunder, to the benefit of the Agent and the Holders
and their respective permitted successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of this paragraph (d), the Agent and the Holders 

  

 14 

 
may assign or otherwise transfer their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Note Document to any other Person pursuant to the
terms of the Indenture, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Agent and the Holders herein or otherwise. Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement
to Agent or any Holder shall mean the assignee of Agent or such Holder. None of the rights or obligations of any of the Pledgors hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Agent, and any such
assignment or transfer without such prior written consent shall be null and void. 
 (e) Upon the Termination Date, this Agreement and the
security interest and Lien created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Pledgors (or, until the date that the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, to the Credit Facility Collateral Agent in
accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the security interest granted hereby in the Collateral of such Pledgor shall be automatically
released upon such Pledgor ceasing to be a Subsidiary of the Company, and upon any sale or other transfer by any Pledgor of any Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release
of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to the Indenture, or upon any sale, transfer or release by any Pledgor of any Collateral constituting property that is ABL Priority Collateral and which is being released from the
Lien securing the ABL Obligations in accordance with the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement and Note Documents; provided that the Agent receives a copy of the release of such ABL Priority Collateral as provided under the terms of the ABL
Credit Agreement or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent of such release. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 15(e), the Agent will, upon a Pledgor’s request and at such
Pledgor’s expense, without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever, (i) return to such Pledgor (or, until the date the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, to the Credit Facility Collateral Agent in accordance with the
Intercreditor Agreement) such Pledged Collateral to be released (in the case of a release) as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and (ii) execute and deliver to such Pledgor such documents
as such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. 
 (f) Sections 7.07 and 13.08 of the Indenture are
incorporated herein mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof. 
 (g) Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference
only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. 
 (h) This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart. 
 (i) All of the
obligations of the Pledgors hereunder are joint and several. The Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, enforce the provisions hereof against any of the Pledgors and shall not be required to proceed against all Pledgors jointly or seek
payment from 

  

 15 

 
the Pledgors ratably. In addition, the Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, select the Pledged Collateral of any one or more of the Pledgors for
sale or application to the Note Obligations, without regard to the ownership of such Pledged Collateral, and shall not be required to make such selection ratably from the Pledged Collateral owned by all of the Pledgors. The release or discharge of
any Pledgor by the Agent shall not release or discharge any other Pledgor from the obligations of such Person hereunder. 
 (j)
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the terms of this Agreement, the Liens created hereby and the rights and remedies of the Agent are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict
between the terms of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. 
 (k) The words
“including”, “includes” and “include” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; the word “or” is not exclusive. The words “hereof,” “herein,”
“hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement refer to this Agreement, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Note Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause,
schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. 
 (l) The Agent agrees that, prior to the
Discharge of ABL Obligations, it will not (i) take any affirmative action or omit to take any action (including requiring any Pledgor to take any action or omit to take any action) with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral that would be in
violation of the Agent’s duties and obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement, or (ii) require any Pledgor to take any affirmative action with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral if compliance by such Pledgor with such requirement
would result in a breach of or constitute a default under the ABL Loan Documents (as in effect on the date hereof or as amended or modified in accordance with the Note Documents). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
no Pledgor shall be required to comply with any instruction given by the Agent in violation of this Section.

August [    ], 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Pledge Agreement”) by each of the parties listed on the signature pages thereto and those additional

 W I T N
E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of August
    , 2009 (including all annexes, exhibits and schedules thereto, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including any replacement agreement therefor, being hereinafter referred to as the
“Indenture”), by and among the Pledgors and the Agent, the Company will issue the Notes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; 
 WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pledge Agreement and if not defined therein, in the Indenture; 
 WHEREAS, the Pledgors have entered into the Pledge Agreement in order to secure the due and punctual payment of the Notes and the due and punctual
performance of all other Obligations in respect of the Notes and the Indenture, and the other amounts payable to the Agent thereunder; and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 13 of the Pledge Agreement, each new wholly-owned, direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary of any Pledgor, is required to execute and deliver a joinder to the Pledge Agreement, and the execution of the
joinder to the Pledge Agreement by the undersigned new Pledgor or Pledgors (collectively, the “New Pledgors”) may be accomplished by the execution of this Supplement in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Holders.

 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, each New Pledgor hereby agrees as follows: 
 1. In accordance with Section 13 of the Pledge Agreement, each
New Pledgor, by its signature below, becomes a “Pledgor” under the Pledge Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a “Pledgor” and each New Pledgor hereby (a) agrees to 

 
all of the terms and provisions of the Pledge Agreement applicable to it as a “Pledgor” thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the
representations and warranties made by it as a “Pledgor” thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, each New Pledgor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Note

II, respectively, to the Pledge Agreement and shall be deemed a part thereof for all purposes of the Pledge Agreement. Each reference to a “Pledgor” in the Pledge Agreement shall be deemed to include each New Pledgor. The Pledge Agreement
is incorporated herein by reference. 
 2. Each New Pledgor represents and warrants to the Agent and the Holders that this Supplement has
been duly executed and delivered by such New Pledgor and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

 3. This Supplement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of a counterpart hereof by facsimile or by other electronic method of transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
 5. This Supplement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York. 
 [remainder of page intentionally left blank] 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each New Pledgor and the Agent have duly executed this Supplement as of the day and
year first above written.

 (c) The execution, delivery and performance by such Grantor of this
Agreement (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action, (ii) do not contravene its charter or by-laws, its limited liability company or operating agreement or its certificate of partnership or partnership agreement, as applicable,

affecting the Grantor or its properties, before any court or other Governmental Authority or any arbitrator, or any order, judgment or award by any Governmental Authority or arbitrator, that could reasonably be expected to materially affect the
grant by any Grantor, or the perfection, of the security interest purported to be created hereby in the Collateral, or the exercise by the Agent of any of its rights or remedies hereunder. 
 (f) [Intentionally omitted]. 
 (g) All
Equipment, Fixtures, Goods and Inventory now existing and constituting Collateral are located and/or based at the addresses specified therefor in Schedule III (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance
with the terms hereof), other than Equipment, Fixtures, Goods or Inventory in transit between any such locations and Goods or Inventory that have been sold (including sales on consignment or approval in the ordinary course of business) and each
Grantor’s chief place of business and chief executive office, the place where such Grantor keeps its Records concerning Accounts and all originals of all Chattel Paper are located at the addresses specified therefor in Schedule III;
provided that Schedule III shall not be required to contain any name or location of any Person (other than a Grantor) having possession of any Equipment, Fixtures, Goods, Inventory, Records or other assets having an aggregate book
value of less than $500,000. As of the date hereof, none of the Accounts, in an amount greater than $250,000, are evidenced by Promissory Notes or other Instruments. Set forth in Schedule IV is a complete and accurate list, as of the
date of this Agreement, of each Deposit Account, Securities Account and Commodities Account located in the United States of America of each Grantor, together with the name and address of each institution at which each such Account is maintained, the
account number for each such Account and a description of the purpose of each such Account. 
  

 7 

 (h) Each Grantor will make available to the Agent upon request complete and correct copies of each
License described in Schedule II, including all schedules and exhibits thereto, which represents all of the Licenses existing on the date of this Agreement material to the business of each Grantor. Each such License sets forth, in all
material respects, the entire agreement and understanding of the parties thereto relating to the subject matter thereof, and there are no other material agreements, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, relating to the matters covered
thereby or the rights of any Grantor or any of its Affiliates in respect thereof. Each License now existing is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Grantors party thereto and, to the best knowledge of such Grantors, each other party
thereto, enforceable against such parties in accordance with its terms (except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). No default thereunder by any Grantor has occurred and is continuing nor, to the best knowledge of any Grantor, does any defense, offset, deduction or counterclaim exist thereunder in favor of
any such party thereto other than a Grantor. 
 (i) [Intentionally omitted]. 
 (j) Such Grantor is the sole and exclusive owner of, or otherwise has adequate rights in, the Collateral free and clear of any Lien except for
(i) the Lien created by this Agreement and the other Note Documents, (ii) the Liens created by the ABL Loan Documents and (iii) the other Permitted Liens. Except as permitted under Section 4.12 of the Indenture, no effective
financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording or filing office except (A) such as may have been filed in favor of the Agent relating to this Agreement and
(B) such as may have been filed to perfect or protect any Permitted Lien. 
 (k) The exercise by the Agent of any of its rights and
remedies expressly enumerated in this Agreement, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of Persons holding Permitted Liens, will not contravene any law or any material contractual restriction binding on or otherwise
affecting such Grantor or any of its material properties (including the ABL Loan Documents) and will not result in, or require the creation of, any Lien upon or with respect to any of its properties. 
 (l) Except for the filing of financing statements to the extent necessary to perfect the Lien created hereby, no authorization or approval or other
action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for (i) the grant by any Grantor, or the perfection, of the security interest purported to be created hereby in the Collateral or (ii) the exercise by the
Agent of any of its rights and remedies expressly enumerated in this Agreement. 
 (m) This Agreement creates in favor of the Agent, for the
benefit of itself and the Holders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral, as security for the Note Obligations. To the extent governed by Articles 8 and 9 of the Code, such security interests are, or in the case of
Collateral in which any Grantor obtains rights after the date hereof, will be, 

  

 8 

 
perfected security interests and constitute first priority security interests in the Collateral subject, as to priority, only to Permitted Liens that, as a
matter of law (including the law related to the priority rules of the Code), would be prior to Liens in favor of the Agent, and, with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, to the Liens created by the ABL Loan Documents, for the benefit of itself
and the Holders, and the recording of such instruments of assignment. 
 (n) As of the date hereof, such Grantor does not hold any Commercial
Tort Claims, with a claim exceeding $500,000, or is aware of any such pending claims in respect of which any Grantor has a reasonable expectation of recovering in excess of $100,000, except for such claims described in Schedule VI.

 (o) The partnership interests or membership interests of each Grantor in each of its Subsidiaries that is a partnership or a limited
liability company (excluding joint ventures) are not (i) dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (ii) securities for purposes of Article 8 of any relevant Uniform Commercial Code, (iii) investment company
securities within the meaning of Section 8-103 of any relevant Uniform Commercial Code and (iv) evidenced by a certificate. 
 SECTION 5. Covenants as to the Collateral. So long as any of the Note Obligations shall remain outstanding (other than contingent obligations or indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), unless the Agent
shall otherwise consent in writing: 
 (a) Further Assurances. Each Grantor will at its expense, at any time and from time to time,
promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that the Agent may determine to be reasonably necessary to (i) perfect and protect the security interest purported to be created hereby;
(ii) enable the Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Collateral; or (iii) otherwise effect the purposes of this Agreement, including: (A) marking conspicuously all Chattel Paper (to the
extent such Chattel Paper is not in the possession of the Agent or the Credit Facility Collateral Agent, as applicable) with a legend, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Credit Facility Collateral Agent, as
applicable, indicating that such Chattel Paper is subject to the security interest created hereby and by the ABL Loan Documents, (B) if any Account in an amount greater than $500,000 shall be evidenced by Promissory Notes or other Instruments
or Chattel Paper, with respect to Note Priority Collateral, delivering and pledging to the Agent hereunder or, with respect to ABL Priority Collateral, delivering and pledging to the Credit Facility Collateral Agent under the ABL Loan Documents, as
applicable, such Promissory Notes, Instruments or Chattel Paper, duly endorsed and accompanied by executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, with respect to Note Priority
Collateral, or the Credit Facility Collateral Agent, with respect to ABL Priority Collateral, as applicable, (C) executing and filing (to the extent, if any, that such Grantor’s signature is required thereon) or authenticating the filing
of, such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, as reasonably necessary or desirable to perfect or record and preserve the security interest purported to be created hereby, and (D) if, at any time after the date hereof,
any Grantor acquires or holds any Commercial Tort Claim, with a claim exceeding $500,000, promptly notifying the Agent in a writing signed by such Grantor setting forth a brief description of such Commercial Tort Claim and granting to the Agent a
security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, which writing shall incorporate the provisions hereof and shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 
  

 9 

 (b) Location of Equipment and Inventory. Each Grantor will keep the Equipment and Inventory (other
than (i) Inventory and used Equipment sold to the extent not prohibited by the Indenture, (ii) Equipment and Inventory located at any customer locations, (iii) Equipment and Inventory located at any bailee or processor locations,
(iv) Equipment and Inventory located at other locations for which the value of the Collateral at such locations is not, in the aggregate, greater than $500,000, or (v) Equipment and Inventory in-transit, in each case in the ordinary course
of business and (v) Equipment and Inventory located at a location not required to be disclosed under Section 4(g)) at one or more of the Grantor’s leased or owned locations specified therefor in Section 4(g) or, at
such other locations in the continental United States, as the Grantors may elect, provided that (i) all action has been taken to grant to the Agent a perfected, security interest in such Equipment and Inventory (which security interest is a
first priority security interest in the Equipment and Inventory, subject, as to priority, only to the Permitted Liens that, as a matter of law, would be prior to Liens in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Holders and, with
respect to the ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens created by the ABL Loan Documents), and (ii) the Agent’s rights in such Equipment and Inventory, including the existence, perfection and priority of the security interest created hereby
in such Equipment and Inventory, are not adversely affected thereby. 
 (c) [Intentionally omitted]. 
 (d) [Intentionally omitted]. 
 (e)
[Intentionally omitted]. 
 (f) Provisions Concerning the Accounts and the Licenses. 
 (i) No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), change (A) such
Grantor’s name, identity or organizational structure or (B) its jurisdiction of incorporation as set forth in Section 4(b). Each Grantor shall (x) promptly notify the Agent upon obtaining an organizational identification
number, if on the date hereof such Grantor did not have such identification number, and (y) keep adequate records concerning the Collateral and permit representatives of the Agent upon reasonable prior written notice to such Grantor to inspect
and make abstracts from such records. 
 (ii) Each Grantor will, except as otherwise provided in this subsection (f), continue
to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due under the Accounts. In connection with such collections, each Grantor may take such action as such Grantor or the Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce collection
or performance of the Accounts; provided, however, that the Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to notify the Account Debtors or obligors under any Accounts of
the assignment of such Accounts to the Agent and to direct such Account Debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Agent or its designated agent and, upon such notification and
at the expense of such Grantor and to the extent permitted by law, to enforce 

  

 10 

 
collection of any such Accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor
might have done. During the continuance of an Event of Default and after receipt by any Grantor of a notice from the Agent that the Agent has notified, intends to notify, or has enforced or intends to enforce a Grantor’s rights against the
Account Debtors or obligors under any Accounts as referred to in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (A) all amounts and proceeds (including Instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Accounts shall be received in
trust for the benefit of the Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent or its designated agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as
cash collateral and applied toward the Note Obligations as provided in the Indenture, and (B) such Grantor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Account or release wholly or partly any Account Debtor or obligor
thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon without the Agent’s consent. 
 (iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any material breach or default under any License material to the conduct of a Grantor’s business or any License under which any material Intellectual Property owned by a Grantor is licensed to a third party, by any party thereto other than a
Grantor, (A) the relevant Grantor will, promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, give the Agent written notice of the nature and duration thereof, specifying what action, if any, it has taken and proposes to take with respect thereto and
(B) no Grantor will, without the prior written consent of the Agent, declare or waive any such breach or default or affirmatively consent to the cure thereof or exercise any of its remedies in respect thereof. 
 (iv) Each Grantor will exercise promptly and diligently in a commercially reasonable manner each and every right which it may have under each License
(other than any right of termination) and will duly perform and observe in all respects all of its material obligations under each License and will take all commercially reasonable action to maintain the Licenses that are material to the continued
operation of such Grantor’s business in full force and effect. No Grantor will, without the prior written consent of the Agent, cancel, terminate, amend or otherwise modify in any respect, or waive any material provision of, any License that is
material and necessary to the continued operation of such Grantor’s business. 
 (g) [Intentionally omitted]. 
 (h) Intellectual Property. 
 (i) If
applicable, promptly following the request of the Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver any applicable Copyright Security Agreement, Trademark Security Agreement, or Patent Security Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibits A,
B, and C, respectively. Each Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will, and will cause each licensee thereof to, take all action reasonably necessary to maintain all material Intellectual Property in full force and effect,
including using the proper statutory notices and markings and using all material Trademarks on each applicable trademark class of goods in order to so maintain all material Trademarks in full force, free from any claim of abandonment for non-use,
and no Grantor will (nor permit any licensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material intellectual property necessary to the business of such Grantor as it is 

  

 11 

 
currently conducted may become invalidated; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Grantor
shall have an obligation to use or to maintain any Intellectual Property (A) that relates solely to any product or service, that has been, or is in the process of being, discontinued, abandoned or terminated, (B) that is being replaced
with Intellectual Property substantially similar to the Intellectual Property that may be abandoned or otherwise become invalid, so long as the failure to use or maintain such Intellectual Property does not materially adversely affect the validity
of such replacement Intellectual Property and so long as such replacement Intellectual Property is subject to the Lien created by this Agreement, (C) that is substantially the same as another Intellectual Property that is in full force, so long
as the failure to use or maintain such Intellectual Property does not materially adversely affect the validity of such replacement Intellectual Property and so long as such other Intellectual Property is subject to the Lien and security interest
created by this Agreement or (D) is otherwise no longer material to the Permitted Business of such Grantor. Each Grantor will cause to be taken all necessary steps in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the
United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or political subdivision thereof to maintain each registration of all material Intellectual Property (other than the Intellectual Property described in the proviso
to the immediately preceding sentence), including filing of renewals, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings and payment of maintenance fees, filing fees, taxes or other
governmental fees. If any Intellectual Property material to the operation of a Grantor’s business or that generates material licensing revenue is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material respect by a third
party, the Grantors shall (x) upon obtaining knowledge of such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, promptly notify the Agent and (y) to the extent the Grantors shall deem appropriate under the circumstances,
promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, seek injunctive relief where appropriate and recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, or take such other actions
as the Grantors shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property. Each Grantor shall furnish to the Agent, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Intellectual Property and such other
reports in connection with the Intellectual Property upon any material change in such Intellectual Property and Licenses, all in reasonable detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, following receipt by the Agent of any such
statements, schedules or reports, the Grantors shall modify this Agreement by amending Schedule II, as the case may be, to include any Intellectual Property, as the case may be, which becomes part of the Collateral under this Agreement and
shall execute and authenticate such documents and do such acts as shall be necessary or desirable to subject such Intellectual Property to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Grantor may abandon any of those material Intellectual Property registrations, applications for registration or material unregistered Trademarks owned by such Grantor, nor may
any Grantor do or omit to do anything, which action or omission would be reasonably likely to result in the invalidity of any material Intellectual Property registration or application for registration owned by such Grantor or the loss of any trade
secret owned by such Grantor without the prior written consent of the Agent, and if any Intellectual Property owned by any Grantor is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material respect by a third party, the Grantors
will take such action as the Agent shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property. 
  

 12 

 (ii) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee,
file an application for the registration of any Trademark or Copyright or the issuance of any Patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, or in any similar office or agency of the
United States or any country or any political subdivision thereof unless it promptly notifies the Agent thereof. Each Grantor shall execute, authenticate and deliver any and all assignments, agreements, instruments, documents and papers to evidence
the Agent’s security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute and/or
authenticate and file all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed, and such power (being coupled with an interest) shall be irrevocable until the payment in full of the Note Obligations
and satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to the terms thereunder (such date, the “Termination Date”). 
 (i)
[Intentionally Omitted]. 
 (j) [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 (k) Control. Each Grantor hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to take any or all action reasonably necessary in order for the Agent to obtain control in accordance with Sections 9-104, 9-105,
9-106, and 9-107 of the Code with respect to the following Collateral: (i) Deposit Accounts, (ii) Electronic Chattel Paper, (iii) Investment Property and (iv) Letter-of-Credit Rights; provided, however, that no such
action shall be required with respect to any Collateral consisting of ABL Priority Collateral until on or after the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred. 
 (l) Inspection and Reporting. Each Grantor shall permit the Agent and the Holders, or any agents or representatives thereof or such professionals
or other Persons as the Agent and the Holders may reasonably designate subject to a confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company, (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from such Grantor’s records and books of
account, (ii) to visit and inspect its properties, (iii) to verify materials, leases, notes, Accounts, Inventory and other assets of such Grantor from time to time, (iv) to conduct audits, physical counts, appraisals and/or valuations
or examinations at the locations of such Grantor and (v) to discuss such Grantor’s affairs, finances and accounts with any of its directors, officers, managerial employees, independent accountants or any of its other representatives.

 (m) Partnership and Limited Liability Company Interest. No Grantor that is a partnership or a limited liability company shall, nor
shall any Grantor with any Subsidiary that is a partnership or a limited liability company, permit such partnership interests or membership interests (excluding joint venture interests) to (i) be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in
securities markets, (ii) become a security for purposes of Article 8 of any relevant Uniform Commercial Code, (iii) become an investment company security within the meaning of Section 8-103 of any relevant Uniform Commercial Code or
(iv) be evidenced by a certificate; provided, 

  

 13 

 
however, (A) if any Grantor’s joint venture interests become evidenced by a certificate, such Grantor shall receive such certificate in
trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall segregate it from such Grantor’s other property and shall deliver it forthwith to the Agent subject to the requirements set forth in the Pledge Agreement and (B) if such Grantor is not party to the
Pledge Agreement, such Grantor shall immediately execute and deliver a joinder agreement and become a party to the Pledge Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that such partnership interests or membership interests (including any such interests in joint
ventures that are not certificated) shall constitute General Intangibles. 
 SECTION 6. Additional Provisions Concerning the
Collateral. 
 (a) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Agent to file, one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments
thereto, relating to the Collateral (including any such financing statements that indicate the Collateral as “all assets” or words of similar import). A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering
the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. 
 (b) Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Agent may take any action and execute any instrument which the Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Agent pursuant
to Section 5(e), (ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any Collateral, (iii) to receive, endorse, and collect
any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii) above, (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Agent may deem necessary or
desirable for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Agent and the Holders with respect to any Collateral, and (v) to execute assignments, licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of the Agent and
the Holders with respect to any Collateral. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Termination Date. 
 (c) For
the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise rights and remedies hereunder, at such time as the Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent, to the extent
assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) with rights of sublicense to use, assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now or hereafter owned or
licensed by any Grantor (excluding Intellectual Property that is subject to a License from third parties to the extent such License expressly prohibits any of the actions specified herein, unless otherwise subject to a consent, waiver of other
agreement permitting the taking of such actions specified herein), wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs
used for the compilation or printout thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of Section 5(h), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor
may exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, 

  

 14 

 
dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of its business. In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent shall from time to time, upon the request of a Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, which such Grantor shall have
certified are appropriate (in such Grantor’s judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to this clause (c) as to any Intellectual Property). Further, upon the
Termination Date, the Agent (subject to Section 12(e)) shall release and reassign to the Grantors all of the Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property, and the Licenses, all without recourse,
representation or warranty whatsoever and at the Grantor’s sole expense. The exercise of rights and remedies hereunder by the Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any Licenses (or sublicenses) heretofore granted by any Grantor
or theretofore granted by any Grantor in accordance with the second sentence of this clause (c). Each Grantor hereby releases the Agent from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent under the powers of attorney granted herein other than actions taken or omitted to be taken through the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final determination of a court
of competent jurisdiction. 
 (d) If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Agent may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement or obligation, in the name of such Grantor or the Agent, and the expenses of the Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be jointly and severally payable by the Grantors pursuant to Section 8 and shall
be secured by the Collateral. 
 (e) The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and
shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as
to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. 
 (f)
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding (i) each Grantor shall remain liable under the Licenses and otherwise with respect to any of the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same
extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its obligations under the Licenses or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, and
(iii) the Agent shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement under the Licenses or with respect to any of the other Collateral, nor shall the Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any
Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. 
 SECTION 7. Remedies Upon
Default. In each case, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: 
 (a) The
Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code (whether or not the Code
applies to the affected 

  

 15 

 
Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including transfer into the Agent’s name or into the name of its nominee or
nominees (to the extent the Agent has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the benefit of the Agent, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as
though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon reasonable request of the Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the
Agent and make it available to the Agent at a place or places to be designated by the Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Agent may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by any Grantor where the Collateral or
any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate the Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to any Grantor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice
except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Agent’s offices or elsewhere,
for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the
Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Collateral shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to a Grantor of the time and place of any
public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of Collateral regardless of
notice of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Agent and the Holders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a
public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Note Obligations, even if the Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that such Grantor may have to require
that all or any part of the Collateral be marshalled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of the Collateral by the Agent shall be made without warranty, (ii) the Agent may
specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (iii) such actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any such
sale of the Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, (i) upon written notice to any Grantor from the Agent, each Grantor shall cease any use of any or all of the Intellectual Property or any trademark, patent or copyright similar thereto for
any purpose described in such notice; (ii) the Agent may, at any time and from time to time, upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to any Grantor, license to any Person, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or
non-exclusive basis, any of the Intellectual Property, throughout the universe for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (iii) the Agent may, at any time, pursuant
to the authority granted in Section 6 (such authority being effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), execute and deliver on behalf of a Grantor, one or more instruments of assignment of the
Intellectual Property (or any application or registration thereof), in form suitable for filing, recording or registration in any country. 
  

 16 

 (b) Any cash held by the Agent as Collateral and all Cash Proceeds received by the Agent in respect of
any sale of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts
payable to the Agent pursuant to Section 8) in whole or in part by the Agent against, all or any part of the Note Obligations in such order as the Agent shall elect, consistent with the provisions of the Indenture. Any surplus of such
cash or Cash Proceeds held by the Agent and remaining after the Termination Date shall be paid over to the Grantors or to such other Person as may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

 (c) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Agent and
the Holders are legally entitled, the Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any applicable Note Document for interest on overdue principal thereof or such
other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Agent to collect such deficiency.

 (d) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that if the Agent complies with any applicable state, provincial or federal law requirements in
connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral. 
 (e) The Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the
Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Note Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Agent’s rights hereunder and in respect of
such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that any Grantor lawfully may, such Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law
relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Agent’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Note Obligations or under which any of the
Note Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Note Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws. 
  

 17 

 SECTION 8. Expenses. Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand the
amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Agent and of any experts and agents (including any collateral trustee which may act
as agent of the Agent), which the Agent may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the
custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to
perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. 
 SECTION 9. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, faxed or delivered, if to a Grantor, to it in care of the Company at its address specified in the Indenture and if to the Agent, to it at its address specified in the Indenture; or as to any such
Person, at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to such other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 9. All such notices and other communications shall be effective
(a) if delivered by overnight courier service, one (1) Business Day after delivery to such courier service, (b) if mailed, when deposited in the mails, (c) if delivered by facsimile, upon sender’s receipt of confirmation of
proper transmission or (d) if delivered, upon delivery. 
 SECTION 10. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Agent and
the Holders, all Liens and all obligations of each of the Grantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any other Note Document, (b) any change in the
time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Note Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from the Indenture or any other Note Document, (c) any exchange or
release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Note Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any of the Grantors in respect of the Note Obligations. All authorizations and agencies contained herein with respect to any of the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

 SECTION 11. New Subsidiaries. Upon the execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of Annex I by any new Domestic
Restricted Subsidiary that has a minimum of assets and revenues as required by Section 4.20 of the Indenture, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The
execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor hereunder. 
 SECTION 12. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement (including any Schedule attached hereto) shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each
Grantor and the Agent, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by 

  

 18 

 
any Grantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 
 (b) No failure on the part of the Agent or the Holders to exercise, and no
delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Note Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Holders provided herein and in the other Note Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Agent and the Holders
under any Note Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Person to exercise any of its rights under any other Note Document against such party or against any other Person, including but not limited
to, any Grantor. 
 (c) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 (d) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the Termination
Date and (ii) be binding on each Grantor and all other Persons who become bound as debtor to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9-203(d) of the Code and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Agent and the Holders
hereunder, to the benefit of the Agent and the Holders and their respective permitted successors, transferees and assigns. Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to such Agent or any such Holder shall mean the
assignee of the Agent or such Holder. None of the rights or obligations of any Grantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Agent, and any such assignment or transfer without such consent shall
be null and void. 
 (e) Upon the payment in full of the Note Obligations and satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, this Agreement and
the security interests created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the security interest
granted hereby in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be automatically released upon such Grantor ceasing to be Subsidiary of the Company, and upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral constituting property that is ABL
Priority Collateral and which is being released from the lien securing the ABL Obligations under the ABL Loan Documents; provided that the Agent receives a copy of the release of such ABL Priority Collateral as provided under the terms of the
ABL Loan Documents or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent of such release. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 12(e), the Agent will, upon any Grantor’s request and at such
Grantor’s expense, without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever, (i) return to such Grantor such Collateral to be released (in the case of a release) as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant
to the terms hereof and (ii) execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, release or reassignment of rights of the Collateral. 
  

 19 

 (f) Sections 7.07 and 13.08 of the Indenture are incorporated herein mutadis mutandis, as if a
part hereof. 
 (g) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to the service of process of any of the aforesaid courts in any such action, suit or
proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address provided herein, such service to become effective ten (10) days after such
mailing. 
 (h) Nothing contained herein shall affect the right of the Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or
commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Grantor or any property of any Grantor in any other jurisdiction. 
 (i) Each
Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. 
 (j) Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

 (k) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together constitute one in the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally effective as
delivery of an original executed counterpart. 
 (l) All of the obligations of the Grantors hereunder are joint and several. The Agent may,
in its sole and absolute discretion, enforce the provisions hereof against any of the Grantors and shall not be required to proceed against all Grantors jointly or seek payment from the Grantors ratably. In addition, the Agent may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, select the Collateral of any one or more of the Grantors for sale or application to the Note Obligations, without regard to the ownership of such Collateral, and shall not be required to make such selection ratably from the
Collateral owned by all of the Grantors. The release or discharge of any Grantor by the Agent shall not release or discharge any other Grantor from the obligations of such Person hereunder. 
 (m) The words “including”, “includes” and “include” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without
limitation”; the word “or” is not exclusive. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement refer to this Agreement, as a whole and not to any
particular provision of this Agreement or such other Note Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. 
 SECTION 13. Intercreditor Agreement. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens and the security interests granted to the Agent pursuant to the Note Documents in any ABL Priority Collateral (as 

  

 20 

 
defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Agent with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral hereunder and under
any other Note Document are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement with respect to (a) the priority of Liens and security
interests granted to the Agent in the ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to the Note Documents or (b) the rights of the Agent or any Holder under this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control as between the
Agent and the Holders, on the one hand, and the Credit Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Lenders (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), on the other hand. 
 (b) The Agent agrees that, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, it will not (a) take any affirmative action or omit to take any action
(including requiring any Grantor to take any action or omit to take any action) with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral that would be in violation of the Agent’s duties and obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement, or (b) require
any Grantor to take any affirmative action with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral if compliance by such Grantor with such requirement would result in a breach of or constitute a default under the ABL Loan Documents (as in effect on the date
hereof or as amended or modified in accordance with the ABL Loan Documents). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Grantor shall be required to comply with any instruction given by the Agent in violation of this
Section.

(this “Supplement”) dated as of                              , 20    ,
to the Security Agreement dated as of August     , 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”) by each of the parties listed on the signature pages
thereto and those additional entities that thereafter become parties thereto (collectively, “Grantors” and each individually “Grantor”) and WILMINGTON TRUST FSB, in its capacity as Agent for the Holders (together
with its successors and assigns, the “Agent”). 
 W I T N E S S E
T H: 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of August     , 2009 (including all annexes,
exhibits and schedules thereto, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including any replacement agreement therefor, being hereinafter referred to as the “Indenture”), by and among the Grantors
and the Agent, the Company will issue the Notes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; 
 WHEREAS, capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement and if not defined therein, in the Indenture; 
 WHEREAS, the Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to secure the due and punctual payment of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all other Obligations in respect of the Notes and the
Indenture, and the other amounts payable to the Agent thereunder; and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 11 of the Security Agreement,
certain new Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries of any Grantor that have minimum assets and revenues as required by the Indenture, are required to execute and deliver a joinder to the Security Agreement, and the execution of the joinder to the Security
Agreement by the undersigned new Grantor or Grantors (collectively, the “New Grantors”) may be accomplished by the execution of this Supplement in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Holders. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, each New Grantor hereby agrees as follows: 
 1. In accordance with Section 11 of the Security Agreement, each New Grantor,
by its signature below, becomes a “Grantor” under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a “Grantor” and each New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all of the terms and provisions
of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a “Grantor” thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a “Grantor” thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date
hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, each New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Note Obligations, does hereby grant, assign, and pledge to the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the 

 
Holders, a security interest in the assets of such New Grantor of the type described in Section 2 of the Security Agreement to secure the full and
prompt payment of such New Grantor’s Note Obligations (specifically including such New Grantor’s Note Obligations under Article 10 of the Indenture); provided, however, that this Supplement shall not constitute a grant of a
security interest in any of the Excluded Assets. Schedule I, “Legal Names; Organizational Identification Numbers, States of Jurisdictions of Organization”, Schedule II, “Intellectual Property and Licenses; Trade
Names”, Schedule III, “Locations of Grantors”, Schedule IV, “Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and Commodities Accounts”, Schedule V, “UCC Financing Statements”, and Schedule VI,
“Commercial Tort Claims”, attached hereto supplement Schedule I, Schedule II, Schedule III, Schedule IV, Schedule V, and Schedule VI, respectively, to the Security Agreement and shall be deemed a part thereof for all purposes of the
Security Agreement. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include each New Grantor. The Security Agreement is incorporated herein by reference. 
 2. Each New Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the Holders that this Supplement has been duly executed and delivered by such New Grantor
and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 
 3. This Supplement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of a counterpart hereof by facsimile or by other electronic method of transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 
 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
 5. This Supplement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York. 
 [remainder of page intentionally left blank]
