 “Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio” means, as of the date of determination, the
ratio of (a) the Consolidated Indebtedness of the Covenant Parties and the Restricted Subsidiaries on such date that is secured by Liens other than Indebtedness secured by Liens permitted pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of
“Permitted Liens” less the amount of cash and Cash Equivalents in excess of any Restricted Cash that would be stated on the balance sheet of the Covenant Parties and the Restricted Subsidiaries and held by the Covenant Parties
and the Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date of determination, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to (b) EBITDA of the Covenant Parties and the Restricted Subsidiaries for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters ending immediately
prior to such date for which internal financial statements are available. 
 In the event that a Covenant Party or any Restricted Subsidiary
incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness (other than, for purposes of calculating EBITDA only, Indebtedness incurred under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and
has not been replaced) subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio is
made (the “Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio Calculation Date”), then the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, retirement or
extinguishment of Indebtedness, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. 
 For purposes of
making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a
business, and other operational changes that a Covenant Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries has determined to make and/or made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or
simultaneously with the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis in accordance with GAAP assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations,
discontinued operations and other operational changes (and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a
Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into a Covenant Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, discontinued
operation or operational change, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma
effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, discontinued operation or operational change had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, notwithstanding any classification under GAAP as discontinued operations of any Person, property, business or asset, the Issuers may elect to include for any purpose under this Indenture the EBITDA attributable to any such sold
entity or business for any period until such sale, transfer or other disposition shall have been consummated. 
 For purposes of this
definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of an Issuer. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of
interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Consolidated Secured Debt 

  
 -6- 

 
Ratio Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Any such pro forma calculation may
include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable determination of the Issuers as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, to reflect operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from
any acquisition, amalgamation, merger, operational change or other transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the aggregate amount of projected operating expense reductions, operating improvements, cost savings and synergies included in
any such pro forma calculation shall not exceed $125.0 million for any four consecutive quarter period (which adjustments may be incremental to pro forma adjustments made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph). 

For the purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average
exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve-month period immediately prior to the date of determination determined in a manner consistent with that used in calculating EBITDA for the applicable period.

determination for availability under any such basket or ratio and whether any such action or transaction is permitted (or any requirement or condition therefor is complied with or satisfied (including as to the absence of any continuing Default or
Event of Default)) under this Indenture shall be deemed to be the date (the “LCT Test Date”) either (a) that the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (or, if applicable, the date of
delivery of an irrevocable notice, declaration of a dividend or distribution or similar event), (b) solely in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7
announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer is published on a regulatory information service in respect of a target of a Limited Condition Transaction is made (or that equivalent notice under equivalent laws, rules or regulations in such
other applicable jurisdiction is made), (c) that notice is given with respect to any redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock requiring irrevocable notice in
advance of such redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment or (d) that notice is given with respect to any dividend or other distribution requiring irrevocable notice in advance thereof and, in each case, if,
after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the
use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence of Liens, repayments, dividends or other distributions and Dispositions) and any related pro forma adjustments, the Issuers, Nielsen HF, any other Covenant Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries
would have been permitted to take such actions or consummate such transactions on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket (and any related requirements and conditions), such ratio, test or basket (and any related
requirements and conditions) shall be deemed to have 

  
 -27- 

 
been complied with (or satisfied) for all purposes (in the case of Liens, for example, whether such Liens are to secure Indebtedness that is committed, issued or incurred at the LCT Test Date or
at any time thereafter); provided that (a) if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters shall have become available, the Issuers may elect, in their sole discretion, to redetermine all such ratios, tests or baskets
on the basis of such financial statements, in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable LCT Test Date for purposes of such ratios, tests or baskets and (b) except as contemplated in the foregoing
clause (a), compliance with such ratios, tests or baskets (and any related requirements and conditions) shall not be determined or tested at any time after the applicable LCT Test Date for such Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or
transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence of Liens, repayments, dividends or distributions and
Dispositions). 
 For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuers have made an LCT Election, (1) if any of the ratios, tests or baskets for
which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT Test Date have been exceeded or otherwise failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including
due to fluctuations in EBITDA or Total Assets of Nielsen HF or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded or failed to have been complied with as a result of such
fluctuations; (2) if any related requirements and conditions (including as to the absence of any continuing Default or Event of Default) for which compliance or satisfaction was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time
after the LCT Test Date not have been complied with or satisfied (including due to the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default), such requirements and conditions will not be deemed to have been failed to be complied with or
satisfied (and such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to have occurred or be continuing); and (3) in calculating the availability under any ratio, test or basket in connection with any action or transaction unrelated to such
Limited Condition Transaction following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or date for redemption, purchase or
repayment specified in an irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, test or basket shall be determined or
tested giving pro forma effect to such Limited Condition Transaction.

(c) [Reserved.] 
 (d)
Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. 
 The
terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms
and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuers pursuant to a Change of Control Offer as provided in Section 4.14 hereof. The
Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article 3.

 Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. 

At least one Officer of each of the Issuers shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Issuers by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be
valid. 
 A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto by the manual or electronic signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this
Indenture. 
 On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order (an “Authentication Order”),
authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes for an aggregate principal amount specified in such

 -29- 

 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate
Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to
deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuers. 
 Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Issuers shall maintain (i) an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, the State of New York, where Notes
may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, the State of New York, where Notes may be presented for payment (the
“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall maintain a register of the Notes (“Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange and will make payments on and facilitate transfer of Notes on behalf of the Issuers. The
Issuers may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar. The term
“Paying Agent” includes the Paying Agent and any additional paying agents. The Issuers initially appoint DBTCA as (i) Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Notes and (ii) the Custodian with respect to the
Global Notes. The Issuers may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuers fail to appoint
or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Covenant Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. All Agents appointed under this Indenture shall be appointed
pursuant to agency agreements among the Issuers, the Trustee and the Agent, as applicable. 
 The Issuers initially appoint The Depository
Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 
 Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in
Trust. 
 The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in
trust for the benefit of 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 will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers in making any such
payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the
Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than a Covenant Party or one of their respective Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for the money. If a Covenant Party or one of their respective Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate
and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to a Covenant Party, DBTCA shall serve as Paying Agent. 

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. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to
furnish, to the Trustee at least two (2) Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names
and addresses of the Holders of Notes.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.06, a Global Note may be transferred,
in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor thereto or a nominee of such successor. A beneficial interest in a Global Note shall be exchangeable for a Definitive Note if (x) the Depositary notifies the
Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note, (y) the Depositary has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the

exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures). Global Notes also may
be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or
Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, except for Definitive Notes issued subsequent to any of the preceding events in clauses (x) or (y) above and pursuant to
Section 2.06(c) hereof. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a); provided, however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided
in Section 2.06(b) or (c) hereof. 
 (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 the Restricted Global Notes shall be

this clause (b). Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraphs (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable: 

(i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be
transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend; provided, however, that
prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser). Beneficial interests
in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to
effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(i). 
 (ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial
Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(i) hereof, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either
(A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing such Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note
in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase or
(B) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in 

  
 -31-

(2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1). Upon satisfaction of all of the
requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s)
pursuant to Section 2.06(h) hereof. 
 (iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note.
A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of
Section 2.06(b)(ii) hereof and the Registrar receives the following: 
 (A) if the transferee will take delivery in the
form of a beneficial interest in a 144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; or 

(B) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, then the
transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof. 

(iv) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted
Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any Holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) hereof and the Registrar receives the following: 

(A) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a
beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such Holder substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or

Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item
(4) thereof; 
 and, in each such case, if the Registrar so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an
Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no
longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act. 
 If any such transfer is effected pursuant to this
Section 2.06(b)(iv) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more
Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(iv).

THE SECURITIES ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, TRANSFERS PURSUANT TO RULE 144 WILL NOT BE PERMITTED EVEN IF SUCH EXEMPTION IS OTHERWISE AVAILABLE. NO REPRESENTATION CAN BE MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE
144A FOR RESALE OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY.” 
 (B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or Definitive
Note issued pursuant to subparagraph (b)(iv), (c)(iii), (c)(iv), (d)(ii), (d)(iii), (e)(ii) or (e)(iii) of this Section 2.06 (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall not bear the Private Placement Legend.

 (h) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial
interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by
the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note 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. 

(i) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 

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

(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 Issuers 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 2.07, 2.10, 3.06, 4.14 and 9.05 hereof). 
 (iii) Neither the Registrar nor the
Issuers shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 

(iv) 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 Issuers, 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. 

(v) The Issuers shall not 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 mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.03 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 Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

(vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuers may deem and treat the

Issuers designated pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or
denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 (viii) At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any
authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuers shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof. 

(ix) 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. 
 None of the Trustee or Agents shall have any responsibility or obligation to
any beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, any agent member or other member of, or a participant in, the Depositary or other person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or any nominee or participant or member
thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any agent member or other participant, member, beneficial owner or other person (other than the Depositary) of any notice or the payment of any amount or
delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or
upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary, subject to its applicable rules

certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express
requirements hereof. 
 Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Registrar or the Issuers and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. An indemnity bond must be
supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers may
charge for their expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuers and shall be entitled to
all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 

  
 -40- 

 Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. 

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

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

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. 
 In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuers, or by any Affiliate of the Issuers, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that
for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have
been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not an
Issuer or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of an Issuer or of such other obligor. 
 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. 

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

Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or
beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture. 
 Section 2.11 Cancellation. 

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

  
 -41- 

 Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. 

If the Issuers default 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 of Notes on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee (and
the applicable Paying Agent) in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee 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 payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon the written request of
the Issuers, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or otherwise deliver in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, to each Holder a notice at his or her
address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon
registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. 

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. 
 The
Issuers in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by
any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuers will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 

Section 2.14 Calculation of Principal Amount of Securities. 

The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes outstanding at such date
of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of
determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then
outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.08 and Section 2.09 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Issuers and delivered to
the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate. 

  
 -42- 

 Section 2.15 Additional Amounts. 

Unless required by law, each Issuer and each Guarantor shall pay all amounts of principal of, and any premium and interest on, any Notes,
without deduction or withholding for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, assessments or other governmental charges (including any penalties, interest and additions to tax related thereto) (“Taxes”) imposed by any jurisdiction where
any Issuer or Guarantor (or any successor thereto) is, at the relevant time, organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which any Issuer or Guarantor makes any payment on the Notes, as the case may be
(each, a “Taxing Jurisdiction”). If deduction or withholding of any of these charges by any applicable withholding agent is required by a Taxing Jurisdiction, the applicable Issuer or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be,
subject to the exceptions listed below, will pay any additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) necessary to make the net amount paid to the affected beneficial owners equal the amount the beneficial owners would have received in
the absence of the deduction or withholding (including any deduction or withholding attributable to the additional amounts). However, these Additional Amounts shall not be paid on account of: 

(1) the amount of any Tax imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof; 

(2) the amount of any Tax imposed by any government of any jurisdiction other than a Taxing Jurisdiction; 

(3) the amount of any Tax that is only payable because either (A) a present or former connection exists between the Holder
or beneficial owner of the Notes and a Taxing Jurisdiction other than a connection resulting from the purchase, ownership or disposition of such Notes (including the enforcement of rights thereunder or the receipt of payments in respect thereof), or
(B) the Holder or beneficial owner presented the Notes for payment more than 30 days after the date on which the relevant payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later; 

(4) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, excise, value added, personal property or similar Tax; 

(5) the amount of any Tax that is not required to be deducted or withheld by an applicable withholding agent from any payment
by the applicable Issuer or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, on the Notes; 
 (6) the amount of any Tax that is
imposed or withheld due to the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes failing to accurately comply with a request from the applicable Issuer or the applicable Guarantor (or any successor thereto), as the case may be, either to provide information
concerning the Holder’s or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence or identity or to satisfy any information or reporting requirement, in each case, to the extent the Holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to do so, or to present
the relevant Note (if certificated) if such action is required by the Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in, the applicable Tax; 

(7) any tax imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as of the Issue Date (or
any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with) any regulations thereunder or official interpretations thereof, or any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and
another jurisdiction implementing the foregoing or any law implementing such an intergovernmental agreement; or 

  
 -43- 

 (8) any combination of Taxes described in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5),
(6) or (7) above. 
 Additionally, no Additional Amounts shall be paid with respect to any payment to any Holder who is a fiduciary or
a partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such Notes to the extent that the beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, the member of such partnership or the beneficial owner of such Notes would not have been entitled to
Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held such Notes directly. It is understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine if a payment of Additional Amounts is due or to calculate
any such amounts. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Notes or of any other amount payable under or with respect to
the Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section 2.15 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 2.15 and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

 The obligation to pay Additional Amounts under the terms and conditions described in this Section 2.15 will survive any termination,
defeasance or discharge of this Indenture. 
 Section 2.16 Computation of Interest. 

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION 
 Section 3.01 Notices to
Trustee. 
 If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, they shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five
(5) Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to the applicable Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee) hereof but not more than 60 days
before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the
principal amount of the Notes to may be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. 
 Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or
Purchased. 
 If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall
select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased (a) 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 (b) on a
pro rata basis to the extent practicable or (c) by lot or by such other method acceptable to the Trustee and in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures. In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes
to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase. 

  
 -44- 

 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for
redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of
$1,000; no Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000 shall be redeemed
or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, the Issuers shall, deliver electronically or cause to be delivered
electronically, in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures in the case of Global Notes, or mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the
Depositary’s procedures, notices of redemption to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be delivered or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8
or Article 11 hereof. Any redemption or notice of any redemption may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering, other offering, Business Unit
Disposition, or other corporate transaction or event. Notice of any redemption in respect of an Equity Offering, other offering, Business Unit Disposition, or other corporate transaction or event may be given prior to the completion thereof. 

The notice shall identify the Notes (and the CUSIP number(s), if any) to be redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the redemption date; 

(b) the redemption price; 

(c) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed and
that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed will be issued in the name of the
Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note; 
 (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

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

(f) that, unless the Issuers default in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to
accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (g) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture
pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; 

  
 -45- 

 (h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP listed in
such notice or printed on the Notes; and 
 (i) any condition to such redemption. 

At the Issuers’ request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ names and at their expense; provided
that the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be
agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and
payable on the redemption date at the redemption price (except as provided for in Sections 3.03(i) or 3.07(c) hereof). The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder
receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any
other Note. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. 

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

(a) With respect to any Notes, prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuers shall deposit with the
Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Paying
Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

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

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, upon cancellation of the original Note the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or purchased or, in
the case of Global Notes, the Issuers shall instruct the Trustee or the Paying Agent to make an adjustment on its 

  
 -46- 

 
books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect a decrease in the aggregate principal amount of such Global Note; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of
$2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to
authenticate such new Note. 
 Section 3.07 Optional Redemption. 

(a) At any time prior to July 15, 2026, the Issuers may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60

otherwise in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”) and,
without duplication, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

(b) On and after July 15, 2026, the Issuers may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’

net cash proceeds of (a) one or more Equity Offerings and/or (b) one or more sales of a business unit of Parent (“Business Unit Disposition”), in each case to the extent such net cash proceeds are received by or
contributed to Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent; provided that at least 60% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture and any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture after the
Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; provided, further, that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering or such Business Unit
Disposition. Notice of any optional redemption, including upon any Equity Offering or Business Unit Disposition, may be given prior to the redemption thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one
or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related Equity Offering or Business Unit Disposition, if applicable. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice of such
redemption shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that
any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed.

 (d) Except pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 3.07 and
Section 3.09, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuers’ option prior to maturity. 
 (e) Any redemption pursuant to this
Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. 
 Section 3.08 Mandatory Redemption. 

The Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

Section 3.09 Redemption for Taxation Reasons. 

The Issuers may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at their discretion at any time upon giving not less than 30 nor more than 60
days’ prior notice to the Holders (which notice shall be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed by the Issuers for
redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders of such Notes on the
relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if either Issuer or any Guarantor, on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes,
would be required to pay Additional Amounts as a result of: 
 (a) any change in, or amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations
or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction affecting taxation which change or amendment is publicly announced and becomes effective after the date of this Indenture (or, if the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction did not become
a Taxing Jurisdiction until after the date of this Indenture, after such later date); or 
 (b) any change in, or amendment to, the official
position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a change or amendment resulting from a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in
published practice), which change or amendment is publicly announced and becomes effective after the date of this Indenture (or, if the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction did not become a Taxing Jurisdiction until after the date of this Indenture, after
such later date), and, in each case, such Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, cannot avoid any obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it; provided that, in the case of Additional Amounts required to
be paid by a Guarantor, no redemption shall be permitted under this Section 3.09 to the extent either Issuer can make the relevant payments in respect of the Notes without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts. 

The Issuers will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which either Issuer or the
applicable Guarantor would be obligated to make such payment or withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due. Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Issuers will deliver the Trustee (i) an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing to the effect that there has been such change or amendment which would require the payment of such Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes
and (ii) an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Issuers or the applicable Guarantors, as the case may be, cannot avoid the obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes by taking reasonable measures available to
it. 

  
 -48- 

 The Trustee shall accept, and be entitled to rely on, such Officer’s Certificate and
Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, in which event the satisfaction of such conditions precedent will be conclusive and binding on all Holders.

Holders of the Notes, in each case within 15 days after the time the Issuers would be required to file such information with the SEC, if it were subject to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, further, that, with respect

provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Covenant Parties and
the Restricted Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis, on the other hand. 
 (c) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the
Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuers’

(b) Within ten (10) Business Days after becoming aware of any Default that has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, or if the
Trustee or the holder of any other evidence of Indebtedness of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed Default, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee by electronic mail,
registered or certified mail or by facsimile transmission an Officer’s Certificate specifying such event and what action the Issuers propose to take with respect thereto.

 Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury
Laws. 
 The Issuers and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time

Liens. 
 The Covenant Parties shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur,
assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) on any Principal Property (each, a “Subject Lien”) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related Guarantee of the Issuers or any Restricted Guarantor,
unless: 
 (1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and related Guarantees are secured by a

Guarantees are secured equally and ratably with or prior to such Liens. 
 The foregoing shall not apply to (A) Liens securing the

Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any transaction permitted under Article 5 hereof and the
Issuers shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Issuers in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no
longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

 Section 4.14 Offer to Purchase Upon Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuers have previously or substantially concurrently mailed or delivered, or
otherwise sent through electronic transmission if held by any Depositary a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.07 hereof, the Issuers shall make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant
to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to

all Notes properly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuers; 

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 10 days nor later than 60 days from the
date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 
 (3) that any Note not properly tendered
or properly tendered and properly withdrawn will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest; 
 (4) that unless the
Issuers default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such
Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, or otherwise in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address
specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuers to purchase such

otherwise in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures, setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its

the remaining Notes will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to a minimum of $2,000 or an integral multiple

such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect. The Issuers shall comply with
the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of
Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations
and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.14 by virtue thereof.

 (1) accept for payment all Notes issued by them
or portions thereof properly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 
 (2) deposit with
the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and not properly withdrawn; and

the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes validly tendered and
not validly withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is
in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. 
 (d) Other than as specifically
provided in this Section 4.14, any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 hereof. 

Section 4.15 Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries.

Covenant Party (and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
guarantee other capital markets debt securities of the Covenant Parties or any Restricted Subsidiary), other than (x) a Guarantor or (y) a Foreign Subsidiary of a Domestic Subsidiary, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the
Issuers or any other Guarantor unless: 

  
 -54- 

 (1) such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days executes and delivers a
supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuers or any Guarantor:

 (a) if the Notes or such Guarantor’s related Guarantee are subordinated in right of payment to such Indebtedness, the
Guarantee under the supplemental indenture shall be subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary’s guarantee with respect to such Indebtedness substantially to the same extent as the Notes are subordinated to such Indebtedness; and 

(b) if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s related
Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or such
Guarantor’s related Guarantee; and 
 (2) such Restricted Subsidiary shall within 30 days deliver to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 provided that this Section 4.15 shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any
Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary. 

In addition, after the Issue Date, the Issuers may elect to have any Restricted Subsidiary become a Guarantor so long as such Restricted
Subsidiary delivers a supplemental indenture and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee in accordance with clauses (1) and (2) of the immediately preceding paragraph. 

Section 4.16 Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. 

The Covenant Parties will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction with respect
to any Principal Property with another Person (other than with the Covenant Parties or Restricted Subsidiaries) unless either: 

(1) such Covenant Party or such Restricted Subsidiary could incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the property to be leased
without equally and ratably securing the Notes; or 
 (2) within 120 days, such Covenant Party applies the greater of the net
proceeds of the sale of the leased property or the fair value of the leased property, net of all Notes delivered under the Indenture, to the voluntary retirement of Funded Debt and/or the acquisition or construction of any Principal Property.

 (4) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is issued or by which
there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by any Covenant Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or the payment of which is guaranteed by any Covenant Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Indebtedness
owed to a Covenant Party or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Notes, if both: 

(i) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after
giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such
Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; and 
 (ii) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with
the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate the greater of
0.75% of Total Assets or $100.0 million or more at any one time outstanding; 
 (5) failure by a Covenant Party or any
Significant Party to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of the greater of 0.75% of Total Assets or $100.0 million, which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgment
becomes final, and in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed;

 (6) the Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant
Party or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Party, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(i) commences proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 

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

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

(i) is for relief against the Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Party or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Party, in a proceeding in which the Issuers or any such Restricted Subsidiaries, that is a Significant Party or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together,
would constitute a Significant Party, is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; 
 (ii) appoints a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Party or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Party, or for all
or substantially all of the property of the Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Party or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Party; or 

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Party or any group of

 and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect

than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture. 

  
 -59- 

 (b) In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) of
Section 6.01(a) hereof, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any
action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose: 
 (1) the Indebtedness or
guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or 
 (2) the requisite holders thereof have
rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or 
 (3)
the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured. 
 (c) Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration
or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (each a “Directing Holder”) must be
accompanied by a written representation from each such Directing Holder delivered to the Issuers and the Trustee that such Directing Holder is not (or, in the case such Directing Holder is a Depositary or its nominee, that such Directing Holder is
being instructed solely by beneficial owners that have represented to such Holder that they are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to the delivery of a
notice of Default shall be deemed a continuing representation until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at the time of providing a
Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide the Issuers with such other information as the Issuers may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Directing Holder’s Position Representation within five Business
Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is a Depositary or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owners
of the Notes in lieu of such Depositary or its nominee, and such Depositary shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee. If, following the delivery of a
Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuers determine in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provide to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuers have initiated litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking
to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically
reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to
acceleration of the Notes, the Issuers provide to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and
the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position
Representation shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder
Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio (other than any indemnity such Directing Holder may have offered the Trustee), with the effect that such Event of
Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default. 

  
 -60- 

 For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any
Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture, shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in any
Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise. The Trustee
shall have no liability to the Issuers, any Holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction. 
 The Trustee
shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any Default (which the Trustee is deemed to have knowledge of pursuant to this Indenture) with respect to the Notes, give the Holders notice of all uncured Defaults thereunder known to it;
provided, however, that, except in the case of an Event of Default in payment with respect to the Notes or a Default in complying with Section 5.01, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as it in good
faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders. 
 Section 6.02 Acceleration. 

(a) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01(a) hereof) occurs and is
continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding
Notes to be due and payable immediately; provided, that no such declaration may occur with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to Holders, more than two years prior to the date of such declaration; provided, however,
that so long as any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this Indenture as part of the Senior Credit Facilities shall be outstanding, no such acceleration shall be effective until the earlier of: 

(1) acceleration of any such Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities; or 

(2) five (5) Business Days after the giving of written notice of such acceleration to the Issuers and the administrative
agent under the Senior Credit Facilities. 
 Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and
payable immediately. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause
(6) or (7) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. 

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may
on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest, or premium, if any, that
has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 
 The Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the
Notes if and so long as a committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that acceleration is not in the best interest of the Holders of the Notes. 

  
 -61- 

 Section 6.03 Other Remedies. 

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

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note held by a
non-consenting Holder (including in connection with a Change of Control Offer); provided, subject to Section 6.02 hereof, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is
unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 Section 6.06 Limitation
on Suits. 
 Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes
unless: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 

(2) Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

 (3) Holders of the Notes have offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the
offer of security or indemnity; and 

  
 -62- 

 (5) Holders of a majority in principal amount at maturity of the total
outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over
another Holder of a Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). 

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with a Change of Control Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest
and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted. 

Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07
hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition
to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of
any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

Except as provided in Section 6.01(c), no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

  
 -63- 

 Section 6.12 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any
other obligor upon the Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and
distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of
the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be
entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under 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 6.13 Priorities. 
 If the
Trustee or any Agent (if the Agent shall receive any such funds, it shall remit them promptly to the Trustee) collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

(i) to the Trustee, the Agents, their 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 or any Agent and the costs and expenses of collection; 

(ii) to Holders of Notes 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 

(iii) to the Issuers or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct including a Guarantor, if applicable.

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.13. 

  
 -64- 

 Section 6.14 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 the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a
Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 

ARTICLE 7 
 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: 

(i) 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 

(ii) in the absence of gross negligence 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, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof
are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this paragraph does not limit
the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved in a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 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. 

  
 -65- 

 (e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under
this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of the Notes unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably 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 Issuers.
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 such document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee
shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuers, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuers and shall incur no liability or
additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require an Officer’s 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 Officer’s Certificates or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may
consult with counsel of its selection and the 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 may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or
negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care. 
 (d) 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. 
 (e) Unless otherwise
specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuers shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of each Issuer. 

(f) None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability,
financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such
risk or liability is not assured to it. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and
this Indenture. 
 (h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or
damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

  
 -66- 

 (i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, including DBTCA, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(j) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder. 

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 Issuers or any
Affiliate of the Issuers with the same 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 or resign. Any Agent may do the same with
like rights and duties. The Trustee is also 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 Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuers or upon the Issuers’ 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 occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the
Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if and so long as a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be deemed to know of any Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 

Within 60 days after each May 15, beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain
outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) (but if no event described in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) has
occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by Trust
Indenture Act Section 313(c). A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed to each Issuer. 

  
 -67- 

 Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 

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

The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all
loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses
of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuers or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuers or any Guarantor, or liability in connection with the
acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers
of their obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss,
liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 The obligations
of the Issuers under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

To secure the payment obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, 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 and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(6) or (7) hereof occurs,
the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

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

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 

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

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

  
 -68- 

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

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuers shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuers. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the
Issuers’ expense), the Issuers or the Holders of at least 10% in 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 Issuers. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07
hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
 Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate 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 $50,000,000
as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). For purposes of this Indenture, the Trustee will be deemed to be subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b). 

  
 -69- 

 Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuers. 

The Trustee shall be deemed to be subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) on the same basis as if this Indenture were required to
be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be deemed to be subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to
the extent indicated therein. 
 ARTICLE 8 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes upon
compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

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

(b) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes,
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 

(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuers’ obligations in connection
therewith; and 
 (d) this Section 8.02. 

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuers may exercise their option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior
exercise of their option under Section 8.03 hereof. 

  
 -70- 

 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuers and the
Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15 and 4.16 hereof and clause
(4) of Section 5.01(a), Sections 5.01(c) and 5.01(d) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the
Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
“outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the
Issuers may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason
of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3), 6.01(4), 6.01(5), 6.01(6) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Parties), 6.01(7) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant
Parties) and 6.01(8) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 
 Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

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

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes: 

(1) the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S.
dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the case of a combination of cash and Government Securities, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay
the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, of such principal amount, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes and the Issuers must specify
whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 
 (2) in the case of Legal
Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, 

(a) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

 (b) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 

  
 -71- 

 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm
that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S.
federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and
will be subject to U.S. federal income on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and
substantially simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under
the Senior Credit Facilities, the Existing Senior Notes, the 4.500% Senior Notes, the indentures governing the Existing Senior Notes, the indenture governing the 4.500% Senior Notes or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this
Indenture) to which, each Issuer or any Restricted Guarantor is a party or by which such Issuer or any Restricted Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and substantially simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 

(6) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion
and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code; 

(7) each Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by
such Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of an Issuer or any Restricted Guarantor or others; and 

(8) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of
Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with. 

  
 -72- 

	Section	 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions. 

 Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuers or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent), as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and
interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuers shall pay and
indemnify the Trustee, and the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or 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 Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Issuers any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion
of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that
would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuers.

 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on their request or (if then held by the Issuers) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as
trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 
 Section 8.07 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuers’ 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 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the
case may be; provided that, if the Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes
to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

 ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Issuers, any Guarantor (with respect to a Guarantee of Notes or this Indenture) and the Trustee
may amend, supplement or provide a waiver with respect to this Indenture and any Guarantee or Notes without the consent of any Holder: 

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

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

(3) to comply with Section 5.01 hereof; 

(4) to provide the assumption of an Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders; 

(5) 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 this Indenture of any such Holder in any material respect; 
 (6) to add covenants for the benefit of
the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon an Issuer or any Guarantor; 
 (7) to provide for the issuance
of Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and
appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee or Paying Agent hereunder pursuant to the requirements hereof; 

(9) to add a Guarantor under this Indenture; 

(10) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of
notes” section of the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in such “Description of notes” section was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Guarantee or Notes; 

(11) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by
this Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this 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; 

  
 -74- 

 (12) to secure the Notes and/or the related Guarantees thereof; 

(13) to release any Guarantor from its Guarantee pursuant to this Indenture when permitted or required by this Indenture; 

(14) to release and discharge any Lien securing the Notes when permitted by this Indenture (including pursuant to
Section 4.12 hereof); and 
 (15) to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depositary. 

Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by resolutions of each of their boards of directors authorizing the execution of any such amended
or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or
permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own
rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall 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, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, and delivery of an Officer’s Certificate. 

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuers and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the
Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall
determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the
Issuers accompanied by resolutions of each of their boards of directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the
Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or
supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental
indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form
of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

  
 -75- 

 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the
Issuers shall, in the case of Global Notes, electronically deliver in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures, or mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of
the Issuers to, in the case of Global Notes, electronically deliver in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures, or 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. 
 Without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or waiver under this
Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

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

(2) reduce the principal amount of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with
respect to the redemption of such Notes (other than provisions relating to Section 4.14 hereof); 
 (3) reduce the rate
of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; 
 (4) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium,
if any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in
respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders; 

(5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated therein; 

(6) make any change in the provisions of this 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; 
 (7) make any change in these amendment and
waiver provisions; 
 (8) 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; 

(9) make any change to the ranking of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders; or 

(10) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees of any Significant Party in any manner adverse to
the Holders of the Notes. 

  
 -76- 

 Section 9.03 [Reserved]. 

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a
Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a
Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms
and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the
Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such
Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more
than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained. 
 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 Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note 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 amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. Each Issuer may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until its board of directors approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall
be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officer’s 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 amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable
against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding
a new Guarantor under this Indenture if such supplement is in substantially the form of Exhibit D. 
 Section 9.07 Payment for Consent.

 Neither the Issuers nor any Affiliate of either Issuer shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether
by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to all Holders and is paid to all
Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

  
 -77- 

 Section 9.08 Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount. 

Except as provided in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 9.02, all Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent
together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote) as one class and the Notes will not have the right to vote or consent as a separate series on any matter. Determinations as to whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal
amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article 9 and Section 2.14. 

ARTICLE 10 
 GUARANTEES 

Section 10.01 Guarantee. 
 Subject
to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity
and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, interest and premium, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in
full or performed, 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, the 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 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. 

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any
action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in
the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of
the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 
 If any
Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers 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. 

  
 -78- 

 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 Article 6 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 Article 6 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 Guarantees. 
 Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be
filed by or against the Issuers for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuers become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuers’
assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must
otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that
any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 The Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be an unsecured,
unsubordinated obligation of such Guarantor and shall be equal in right of payment with all existing and future Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any, that is not subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and Guarantees. 

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set-off,
counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

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 the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount
and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. 

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

  
 -79-

incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands, the laws of Ireland, or the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (a “Luxembourg Guarantor”) pursuant to this Indenture or any other document in relation therewith shall be deemed not

of doubt it is expressly acknowledged that the relevant Persons incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, the laws of Ireland or the Laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg will continue to guarantee and secure all such obligations which, if
included, do not constitute a violation of the Prohibition.

guarantee, indemnity, subordination or similar obligation (including any Guarantee) of, and the application of proceeds from the enforcement of any security interest granted by, any Guarantor that is organized under the laws of Switzerland (a
“Swiss Guarantor”) to satisfy obligations of the Issuers or of any other Guarantor (other than obligations of any of such Swiss Guarantor’s wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries) shall, if the fulfillment of such
obligation or the application of such proceeds would under applicable Swiss law not be permitted at such time, be limited to the maximum amount permitted by applicable Swiss law at the time of fulfilment or enforcement (as the case may be).

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or any other notes document in
relation therewith, the aggregate amount payable by a Luxembourg Guarantor under this Indenture or any other notes document in relation therewith for the obligations of any other Guarantor which is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of such
Luxembourg Guarantor or for the obligations of the applicable Issuer shall, together with any similar guarantee obligations (garanties personnelles) thereunder, be limited at any time to an:

therewith, to such Luxembourg Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries; plus 
 (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of such Luxembourg
Guarantor’s “capitaux propres” (as referred to in Annex I to the Grand Ducal Regulation and its Intra-Group Liabilities (to the extent not yet accounted for above under (a)(i) and without double counting), as reflected in its

DISCHARGE

This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes, when either: 

(1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid
and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(2) (A) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making
of a notice of redemption or otherwise, shall become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption and redeemed within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee

Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 

  
 -82- 

 (B) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied
to make such deposit and any similar and substantially simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this Indenture or the Notes shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Credit Facilities, the indentures governing the Existing Senior
Notes, the indenture governing the 4.500% Senior Notes or any other material agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness (other than this Indenture) to which an Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which an Issuer or any Guarantor is bound
(other than that resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and substantially simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 

(C) the Issuers have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under this Indenture; and

Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the Issuers must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause
(A) of clause (2) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive. 

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be
held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuers acting as their own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to
the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of
any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuers’ and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the
Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 Section 12.16
[Reserved]. 
 Section 12.17 Currency of Account; Conversion of Currency; Foreign Exchange Restrictions. 

(a) U.S. dollars are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuers and the Guarantors under or in connection
with the Notes, the Guarantees of the Notes or this Indenture, including damages related thereto. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than U.S. dollars by a Holder of Notes (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a
judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Issuers or otherwise) in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuers shall only constitute a
discharge to the Issuers to the extent of the U.S. dollar, as the case may be, which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery

  
 -87- 

 
(or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If that U.S. dollar is less than the U.S. dollar expressed to be due to
the recipient under the Notes, the Issuers shall indemnify it against any loss sustained by it as a result as set forth in Section 12.17(b). In any event, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall indemnify the recipient against the cost of making
any such purchase. For the purposes of this Section 12.17, it will be sufficient for the Holder of a Note to certify in a satisfactory manner (indicating sources of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of
U.S. dollars been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of U.S. dollars on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable, it
being required that the need for a change of date be certified in the manner mentioned above). The indemnities set forth in this Section 12.17 constitute separate and independent obligations from other obligations of the Issuers and the
Guarantors, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder of the Notes and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof
for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under the Notes. 
 (b) The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, covenant
and agree that the following provisions shall apply to conversion of currency in the case of the Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture: 

(1) (A) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in, or enforcing the judgment of, any court in any country, it becomes
necessary to convert into a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in any other currency (the “Base Currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day
before the day on which the judgment is given or the order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (unless a court shall otherwise determine). 

(B) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is
given or an order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (or such other date as a court shall determine), and the date of receipt of the amount due, the Issuers and the Guarantors will pay such additional (or, as the case may be, such lesser)
amount, if any, as may be necessary so that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt will produce the amount in the Base Currency originally due. 

(2) In the event of the winding-up of the Issuers or any Guarantor at any time while
any amount or damages owing under the Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture, or any judgment or order rendered in respect thereof, shall remain outstanding, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall indemnify and hold the Holders and the Trustee
harmless against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between (i) the date as of which the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount due or contingently due under the Notes, the Guarantees and this
Indenture (other than under this subsection (b)(2)) is calculated for the purposes of such winding-up and (ii) the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in such
winding-up. For the purpose of this subsection (b)(2), the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in the winding-up of the Issuers or any Guarantor shall be the
date fixed by the liquidator or otherwise in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable law as being the latest practicable date as at which liabilities of the Issuers or such Guarantor may be ascertained for such winding-up prior to payment by the liquidator or otherwise in respect thereto. 

  
 -88- 

 (c) The obligations contained in subsections (a), (b)(1)(B) and (b)(2) of this
Section 12.17 shall constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under this Indenture, shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against the Issuers and the
Guarantors, shall apply irrespective of any waiver or extension granted by any Holder or the Trustee or either of them from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order or the filing of any proof of
claim in the winding-up of the Issuers or any Guarantor for a liquidated sum in respect of amounts due hereunder (other than under subsection (b)(2) above) or under any such judgment or order. Any such
deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Holders or the Trustee, as the case may be, and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Issuers or any Guarantor or the liquidator or otherwise or
any of them. In the case of subsection (b)(2) above, the amount of such deficiency shall not be deemed to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring between the said final date and the date of any liquidating distribution. 

(d) The term “rate(s) of exchange” shall mean the rate of exchange quoted by Reuters at 10:00 a.m. (New York time) for spot
purchases of the Base Currency with the Judgment Currency other than the Base Currency referred to in subsections (b)(1) and (b)(2) above and includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable. 

Section 12.18 Agent for Service; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunity. 

(a) By the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Guarantors that are not incorporated or otherwise organized under the laws of any
State (including the District of Columbia) of the United States (A) acknowledge that they have, by separate written instrument, designated and appointed TNC (US) Holdings, Inc. (and any successor entity) as their authorized agent upon which
process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture that may be instituted in any Federal or state court in the State of New York, New York County or brought under Federal or state securities laws, and
acknowledge that TNC (US) Holdings, Inc. has accepted such designation, (B) submit for themselves and their property to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit or proceeding,
(C) consent that any such proceeding may be brought in any such court and waives trial by jury and any objection that any of them may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such proceeding in any such court or that such proceeding was
brought in any inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same, (D) agree that service of process upon TNC (US) Holdings, Inc. and written notice of said service to such Guarantors in accordance with Section 12.02 shall be
deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such Guarantors in any such suit or proceeding and (E) agree that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit
the right to sue in any other jurisdiction. 
 (b) To the extent that any Guarantor may be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which judicial
proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to or arising out of this Indenture, to claim for itself or its revenues, assets or properties immunity (whether by reason of sovereignty or otherwise) from suit, from the jurisdiction of any
court (including but not limited to any court of the United States of America or the State of New York), from attachment prior to judgment, from set-off, from execution of a judgment or from any other legal
process, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such an immunity (whether or not claimed), such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the extent permitted by
law. 

  
 -89- 

 Section 12.19 U.S.A. Patriot Act 

The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial
institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the
Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

 [Back of Note] 

4.750% Senior Notes due 2031 

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

1. INTEREST. Nielsen Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Nielsen Finance Co., a Delaware corporation, promise to pay
interest on the principal amount of this Note at 4.750% per annum from January 15, 20223 until maturity. The Issuers will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and
July 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”) and no further interest will accrue for such interest period solely as a result of such
interest payment date initially falling on a day that is not a Business Day. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided
that the first Interest Payment Date shall be January 15, 2022. The Issuers will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to the then-applicable interest
rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; the Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) at the same
rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business
on the January 1 or July 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled 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. Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, provided that payment by wire transfer
of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying
Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change
any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Covenant Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

4. INDENTURE. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of May 28, 2021 (the “Indenture”), among Nielsen
Finance LLC, Nielsen Finance Co., the Guarantors and the Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuers designated as its 4.750% Senior Notes due 2031. The Issuers shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to
Section 2.01 of the Indenture. The Notes issued as of the Issue Date and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under the 
  

	3 	 With respect to the Initial Notes. 

  
 A-5 

 
Indenture (collectively, referred to herein as the “Notes”) shall be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture, unless otherwise specified in the Indenture. The
terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture 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. 
 5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a) Except as described below under clauses 5(b), 5(c) and 5(d) and paragraph 6 hereof, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuers’
option prior to maturity. 
 (b) At any time prior to July 15, 2026, the Issuers may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, upon not
less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice delivered electronically, in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures in the case of Global Notes or mailed by first-class mail to the registered
address of each Holder or otherwise in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of the Redemption Date and, without duplication,
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

(c) On and after July 15, 2026, the Issuers may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’
notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of each of the years indicated below: 

 

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2026
	  	 	102.375	% 
	 2027
	  	 	101.583	% 
	 2028
	  	 	100.792	% 
	 2029 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (d) At any time (which may be more than once) prior to July 15, 2024, the Issuers may, at their option,
redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes at a redemption price equal to 104.750% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, with the
net cash proceeds of (a) one or more Equity Offerings and/or (b) one or more Business Unit Dispositions, in each case to the extent such net cash proceeds are received by or contributed to Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent;
provided that at least 60% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture and any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture after the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after the
occurrence of each such redemption; provided, further, that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering or such Business Unit Disposition. Notice of any optional redemption, including
upon any Equity Offering or Business Unit Disposition, may be given prior to the redemption thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited
to, completion of the related Equity Offering or Business Unit Disposition, if applicable. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice of such redemption shall state that, in the Issuers’
discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been
satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed. 

  
 A-6 

 (e) Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be made pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture. 
 6. REDEMPTION FOR TAXATION REASONS. The Issuers may redeem the Notes, in
whole but not in part, at their discretion at any time upon giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders (which notice shall be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount
thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Tax Redemption Date and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right
of Holders of such Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if either Issuer or any Guarantor, on the next date on which any amount would be
payable in respect of the Notes, would be required to pay Additional Amounts as a result of: 
 (a) any change in, or amendment to, the laws
or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction affecting taxation which change or amendment is publicly announced and becomes effective after the date of this Indenture (or, if the relevant
Taxing Jurisdiction did not become a Taxing Jurisdiction until after the date of this Indenture, after such later date); or 
 (b) any
change in, or amendment to, the official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a change or amendment resulting from a holding, judgment or order by a court of
competent jurisdiction or a change in published practice), which change or amendment is publicly announced and becomes effective after the date of this Indenture (or, if the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction did not become a Taxing Jurisdiction until
after the date of this Indenture, after such later date), and, in each case, such Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, cannot avoid any obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it; provided that, in
the case of Additional Amounts required to be paid by a Guarantor, no redemption shall be permitted under this paragraph 6 to the extent either Issuer can make the relevant payments in respect of the Notes without the obligation to pay Additional
Amounts. 
 The Issuers will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which either Issuer
or the applicable Guarantor would be obligated to make such payment or withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due. Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, the Issuers will deliver the Trustee (i) an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing to the effect that there has been such change or amendment which would require the payment of such Additional Amounts with respect to
the Notes and (ii) an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Issuers or the applicable Guarantors, as the case may be, cannot avoid the obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes by taking reasonable measures
available to it. 
 The Trustee shall accept, and be entitled to rely on, such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as
sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, in which event the satisfaction of such conditions precedent will be conclusive and binding on all Holders. 

7. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

  
 A-7 

 8. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Subject to Section 3.03 of the Indenture, at least 10 days but
not more than 60 days before the redemption date, the Issuers shall deliver electronically or cause to be delivered electronically, in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures in the case of Global Notes, or mail or cause to be mailed by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures, notices of redemption to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be
delivered or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 of the Indenture. Any redemption or notice of any redemption may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one
or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering, other offering, Business Unit Disposition, or other corporate transaction or event. Notice of any redemption in respect of an Equity Offering, other
offering, Business Unit Disposition, or other corporate transaction or event may be given prior to the completion thereof. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the
Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 

9. OFFERS TO REPURCHASE. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuers shall make an offer (a “Change of Control
Offer”) to purchase all of the Notes at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to
the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Change of Control Offer shall be made in accordance with Section 4.14 of the Indenture. 

10. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the
Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers shall not 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 mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Indenture 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 Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

11. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The Person in whose name any Note is registered may be treated as its absolute owner for all purposes. 

12. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented, or a waiver may be provided,
as provided in the Indenture. 
 13. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of
the Indenture. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, if any Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in
principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the

  
 A-8 

 
Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. Except in the case of a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, the Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default if and
so long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by
notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture, except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Notes
held by a non-consenting Holder. The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuers are required within ten (10) Business Days
after becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default and what action the Issuers propose to take with respect thereto. 

14. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until
authenticated by the manual or electronic signature of the Trustee. 
 15. GOVERNING LAW. THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND ANY GUARANTEES WILL
BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 16. CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation
promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 

The Issuers will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to the Issuers at

TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS] 

Supplemental Indenture (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of __________, among __________________ (the
“Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), an affiliate of Nielsen Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Nielsen Finance Co., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuers”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as
trustee (the “Trustee”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuers’ Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein and under the Indenture (the
“Guarantee”); and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and
deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows: 

(1) Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

(2) Agreement to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows: 

(a) Along with all Guarantors named in the Indenture, to jointly and severally unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a
Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that: 

(i) the principal of, interest and premium, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in

 (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or
any of such other obligations, the same will 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 or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so
guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the other Guarantors and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. This is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of
collection. 
 (b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any
action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. 

(c) The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever. 

(d) This Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, the
Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture. 

(e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors (including the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary), or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers 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. 
 (f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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. 

(g) As between the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the
maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture 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 Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by
the Guaranteeing Subsidiary for the purpose of this Guarantee. 
 (h) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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 this Guarantee.

relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of
such other Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, this new Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary under this Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance. 

  
 D-2 

 (j) This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be
effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuers for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuers become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of the Issuers’ assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law,
rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes and Guarantee, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or
performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Note shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not
so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 (k) In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

(l) This Guarantee shall be an unsecured, unsubordinated obligation of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary and will be equal in right
of payment with any other future Indebtedness of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, if any, that is not subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and Guarantees.
