Section 8.            Termination of Employment.

Upon the earlier to occur of (A) the day on which Employee’s Garden Leave commences and (B) the actual termination of Employee’s employment, except as may otherwise be requested by the Company in writing and agreed upon in writing by Employee, Employee shall be deemed to have resigned from any and all directorships, committee memberships or any other positions Employee holds with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and Employee shall execute such documents as may reasonably be requested by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to effectuate or document such resignations.

 

(b)           Termination due to Death or Disability.  Employee’s employment shall terminate automatically upon his death.  The Company may terminate Employee’s employment immediately upon the occurrence of a Disability, such termination to be effective upon Employee’s receipt of written notice of such termination.  In the event Employee’s employment is terminated due to his death or Disability, Employee or his estate or his beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to:

 

(i)            The Accrued Obligations;

 

(ii)           Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect to any completed fiscal year which has ended prior to the date of such termination (such Annual Bonus determined using the actual Annual Bonus or, if the actual Annual Bonus has not been finalized, the average Annual Bonus paid or payable for the two completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date of such termination), such amount to be paid at the same time it would otherwise be paid to Employee had no such termination occurred, but in no event later than the date that is one day prior to two and one-half months following the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which such termination occurs;

 

(iii)          An Annual Bonus that is pro rated based on the number of days elapsed from the commencement of the Company’s fiscal year in which such termination occurs through and including the date of such termination (such Annual Bonus

 

7

 

determined using the average Annual Bonus paid or payable for the two completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date of such termination), such amount to be paid within five (5) business days of such termination; and

 

(iv)          Vest, as of the date of such termination, in the number of equity-based awards, if any, which would otherwise have vested during the one (1) year period immediately following such termination (without regard to any subsequent vesting events); provided, that, in the event such termination occurs within two years following a Change in Control, Employee shall be entitled to acceleration of Employee’s equity-based awards to the extent provided in Section 4(c) above.

 

Except as set forth in this Section 8(b), following Employee’s termination by reason of his death or Disability, Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

 

(c)           Termination by the Company for Cause.

 

(i)            A termination by the Company for Cause shall not take effect unless the provisions of this subsection (i) are complied with.  Employee shall be given not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice by the Board of the intention to terminate his employment for Cause, such notice to state in detail the particular act or acts or failure or failures to act that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination for Cause is based.  Employee shall have fifteen (15) days after the date that such written notice has been given to Employee in which to cure such act or acts or failure or failures to act, to the extent such cure is possible.  If he fails to cure such act or acts or failure or failures to act, the termination shall be effective on the date immediately following the expiration of the fifteen (15) day notice period.  If cure is not possible, the termination shall be effective on the date of receipt of such notice by Employee.  During any cure period provided hereunder, the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, prohibit Employee from entering the premises of the Company (or any subsidiary thereof) or otherwise performing his duties hereunder; provided, however, that if cure is possible, and Employee can reasonably demonstrate to the Board that he desires to enter the premises of the Company (or a subsidiary thereof) or to otherwise perform his duties hereunder solely to attempt to cure the act or acts or failure or failures to act that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination for Cause is based, Employee shall be permitted to enter the premises of the Company (or a subsidiary thereof) or otherwise to perform his duties hereunder solely for the purposes of curing such act or acts or failure or failures to act.  For the avoidance of doubt, (A) if Employee terminates his employment after receiving notice from the Board pursuant to this Section 8(c)(i) of its intention to terminate his employment for Cause and prior to Employee curing any act or failure to act in accordance with this Section 8(c)(i) or (B) if Employee fails to comply with the terms and conditions applicable during any Notice Period or Garden Leave, in either case, Employee’s employment will be deemed terminated by the Company for Cause and Employee shall not be entitled to the payments and benefits set forth in Section 8(d) or (e) below.

(ii)           In the event the Company terminates Employee’s employment for Cause, he shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations.  Following such termination of Employee’s employment for Cause, except as set forth in this Section 8(c)(ii), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

 

(d)           Termination by the Company without Cause.  The Company may terminate Employee’s employment at any time without Cause (other than due to death or Disability), such termination to be effective as of the last day of the Notice Period.  During the Notice Period, Employee shall remain an employee of the Company and continue to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  In addition, during the Notice Period, Employee shall, subject to the terms of the Company’s plans and benefit arrangements, be entitled to:

 

(i)            Base Salary;

 

(ii)           Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect to any completed fiscal year which has ended prior to the date on which such Notice Period commences (such Annual Bonus determined using the actual Annual Bonus or, if the actual Annual Bonus has not been finalized, the average Annual Bonus paid or payable for the two completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which such Notice Period commences), such amount to be paid at the same time it would otherwise be paid to Employee had no Notice Period commenced;

 

(iii)          (A) An Annual Bonus that is pro rated based on the number of days elapsed from the commencement of the fiscal year in which such Notice Period commences through and including the date such Notice Period commences (such Annual Bonus determined using the average Annual Bonus paid or payable for the two completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which such Notice Period commences), such amount to be paid in accordance with the terms of the Company’s annual bonus plan as in effect from time to time but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Notice Period ends and (B) an Annual Bonus (such Annual Bonus determined using the average Annual Bonus paid or payable for the two completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which such Notice Period commences), such amount to be paid no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Notice Period ends;

 

(iv)          Participate in the Company’s health and other insurance plans;

 

(v)           Vest in previously-granted equity-based awards and any other contractual benefits;

 

(vi)          Vest, as of the last day of the Notice Period, in the number of equity-based awards, if any, which would otherwise have vested during the two (2) year period immediately following such Notice Period (without regard to any subsequent vesting events), and, in the case of any restricted stock units, settlement within fifteen (15) days following the Notice Period; provided that, in the event such termination occurs within two years following a Change in Control, Employee shall be entitled to

 

9

 

acceleration of Employee’s equity-based awards to the extent provided in Section 4(c) above; and

 

(vii)         As of the last day of the Notice Period, the Accrued Obligations.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payments and benefits described in subsections (i) through (vi) above shall immediately cease, and the Company shall have no further obligations to Employee with respect thereto, in the event that Employee breaches any provision of Section 9 hereof.  In addition, if Employee fails to comply with the terms and conditions applicable during any Notice Period or Garden Leave, Employee’s employment will be deemed terminated by the Company for Cause and Employee shall not be entitled to the payments and benefits set forth in this Section 8(d).

 

Following such termination of Employee’s employment by the Company without Cause, except as set forth in this Section 8(d), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

 

(e)           Termination by Employee.  Employee may terminate his employment at any time, such termination to be effective as of the last day of the Notice Period.  Employee shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits as provided in Section 8(d) above for a termination without Cause, it being agreed that Employee’s right to any such payments and benefits shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as described in Section 8(d) above; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall only be entitled to accelerated vesting of Employee’s equity-based awards pursuant to Section 4(c) above and the proviso in Section 8(d)(vi) above if Employee terminates his employment for Good Reason within two years following a Change in Control.  Following such termination of Employee’s employment, except as set forth in this Section 8(e), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

 

(f)            Garden Leave.  Notwithstanding any provision of Section 8(d) or (e) to the contrary, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to release Employee from his obligation to provide services to the Company during the Notice Period and place Employee on Garden Leave.  During the Garden Leave, Employee shall continue to receive the payments and benefits set forth in Section 8(d) or (e) above (as applicable), except that (i) the pro rata Annual Bonus shall be determined using the average Annual Bonus paid or payable for the two immediately prior fiscal years and shall be pro rated based on the number of days elapsed from the commencement of such fiscal year through and including the date such Garden Leave commenced, such amount to be paid in accordance with the terms of the Company’s annual bonus plan as in effect from time to time but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Garden Leave commences, (ii) the Annual Bonus payable under Section 8(d)(iii)(B) shall be determined using the average Annual Bonus paid or payable for the two fiscal years  completed immediately prior to the date such Garden Leave commenced, such amount to be paid no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Garden Leave commenced, (iii) any restricted stock units shall be settled no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Garden Leave commenced and (iv) any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect to any completed fiscal year which has ended prior to such Garden Leave commencing (determined using the actual

 

10

 

Annual Bonus or, if the actual Annual Bonus has not been finalized, the average Annual Bonus paid or payable for the two immediately prior fiscal years), shall be paid at the same time it would otherwise be paid to Employee had no Garden Leave commenced, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Garden Leave commenced.  For the avoidance of doubt, during the Garden Leave, Employee shall remain an employee of the Company bound by the terms of this Agreement, except that Employee is not required to perform any of his duties of employment pursuant to this Agreement unless specifically requested by the Company, and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, attend his normal place of work or any other premises of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

(g)           Release.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company may require that, prior to the accelerated vesting and settlement, as applicable, of equity-based awards pursuant to subsections (d) or (e) of this Section 8, Employee shall have executed a general release in favor of the Company and its subsidiaries and related parties in the form as is reasonably required by the Company, and any waiting periods contained in such release shall have expired.  Such release, if required by the Company, shall be delivered to Employee within twenty (20) business days following the termination of Employee’s employment hereunder, and failure to deliver such release within such twenty (20) business day period shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of such requirement.  Assuming delivery of the release by the Company, if Employee fails to execute such release on or prior to the Release Expiration Date, Employee shall not be entitled to such accelerated vesting or settlement pursuant to (d) or (e) of this Section 8.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this subsection (g) to the contrary, in any case where the date of termination and the last day of the applicable waiting period fall in two separate taxable years, any payments required to be made to Employee that are treated as deferred compensation for purposes of Sections 409A and 457A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service thereunder (collectively, “Sections 409A and 457A”) shall be made in the later taxable year at times provided by this Section 8.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Release Expiration Date” means the date which is twenty-one (21) days following the date upon which the Company delivers to Employee the release contemplated herein, or in the event that such termination of employment is “in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program” (as such phrase is defined in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967), the date that is forty-five (45) days following such delivery date.

 

Section 9.            Restrictive Covenants.

 

Employee acknowledges and agrees that (A) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 9 are (i) reasonable and valid in geographic and temporal scope and in all other respects, and (ii) essential to protect the value of the Company’s business and assets; and (B) by his employment with the Company, Employee will obtain knowledge, contacts, know-how, training and experience and there is a substantial probability that such knowledge, contacts, know-how, training and experience could be used to the substantial advantage of a competitor of the Company and to the Company’s substantial detriment.  For purposes of this Section 9, references to the Company shall be deemed to include its subsidiaries.

(a)           Confidential Information.  At any time during and after the end of the Term of Employment, without the prior written consent of the Board, except to the extent required by an order of a court having jurisdiction or under subpoena from an appropriate government agency, in which event, Employee shall, to the extent legally permitted, consult with the Board prior to responding to any such order or subpoena, and except as he in good faith believes necessary or desirable in the performance of his duties hereunder, Employee shall not disclose to or use for the benefit of any third party any confidential or proprietary trade secrets, customer lists, drawings, designs, information regarding product development (including types of insurance products), marketing plans, sales plans, management organization information, operating policies (including underwriting policies and risk assessment policies) or manuals, business plans, financial records, packaging design or other financial, commercial, business or technical information (i) relating to the Company, or (ii) that the Company may receive belonging to suppliers, customers or others who do business with the Company (including insurance brokers) as a result of his position with the Company (collectively, “Confidential Information”).  Employee’s obligation under this Section 9(a) shall not apply to any information that is publicly available or hereafter becomes publicly available, in each case without the breach by Employee of this Section 9(a).

 

(b)           Non-Competition.  Employee covenants and agrees that during the Non-Compete Period, with respect to Bermuda, Switzerland (including any canton thereof), any State of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction in which the Company engages (or has committed plans to engage) in business during the Term of Employment, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or jointly, own any interest in, operate, join, control or participate as a partner, director, principal, officer, or agent of, enter into the employment of, act as a consultant to, or perform any services for any Person (other than the Company), that engages in any Competitive Activities.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 9(b) shall not prevent Employee from acquiring as an investment securities representing not more than three percent (3%) of the outstanding voting securities of any publicly-held corporation or from being a passive investor in any mutual fund, hedge fund, private equity fund or similar pooled account so long as Employee’s interest therein is less than three percent (3%) and he has no role in selecting or managing investments thereof.

 

(c)           Non-Interference.  During the Non-Interference Period, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for his own account or for the account of any other Person, engage in Interfering Activities.

 

(d)           Return of Documents.  In the event of the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason or, if applicable, the day on which Employee’s Garden Leave commences, Employee shall deliver to the Company all of (i) the property of the Company, and (ii) the documents and data of any nature and in whatever medium of the Company, and he shall not take with him any such property, documents or data or any reproduction thereof, or any documents containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information.

 

(e)           Works for Hire.  Employee agrees that the Company shall own all right, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registerable under copyright or similar laws, which Employee may solely or jointly

 

12

 

conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice during the Term of Employment, whether or not during regular working hours, provided they either (i) relate at the time of conception or development to the actual or demonstrably proposed business or research and development activities of the Company; (ii) result from or relate to any work performed for the Company; or (iii) are developed through the use of Confidential Information and/or Company resources or in consultation with Company personnel (collectively referred to as “Developments”).  Employee hereby assigns all right, title and interest in and to any and all of these Developments to the Company.  Employee agrees to assist the Company, at the Company’s expense (but for no other consideration of any kind), to further evidence, record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce and defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned.  Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its agents as attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee.  In addition, and not in contravention of any of the foregoing, Employee acknowledges that all original works of authorship which are made by him (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 USC Sec. 101) or any similar law or regulation.  To the extent allowed by law, this includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights.”  To the extent Employee retains any such moral rights under applicable law, Employee hereby waives such moral rights and consents to any action consistent with the terms of this Agreement with respect to such moral rights, in each case, to the full extent of such applicable law.  Employee will confirm any such waivers and consents from time to time as requested by the Company.

 

(f)            Blue Pencil.  If any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time deem the duration or the geographic scope of any of the provisions of this Section 9 unenforceable, the other provisions of this Section 9 shall nevertheless stand and the duration and/or geographic scope set forth herein shall be deemed to be the longest period and/or greatest size permissible by law under the circumstances, and the parties hereto agree that such court shall reduce the time period and/or geographic scope to a permissible duration or size.

 

Section 10.          Breach of Restrictive Covenants.

 

Without limiting the remedies available to the Company, Employee acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 9 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Company or its subsidiaries for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction, without the posting of a bond or the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach of Section 9 hereof, restraining Employee from engaging in activities prohibited by Section 9 hereof or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in Section 9 hereof.  Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the Non-Compete Period, in the case of the covenants contained in Section 9(b), and the Non-Interference Period, in the case of the covenants contained in Section 9(c), shall be tolled during any period of violation of

 

13

 

any of such covenants and during any other period required for litigation during which the Company seeks to enforce such covenants against Employee or another Person with whom Employee is affiliated if it is ultimately determined that Employee was in breach of such covenants.

 

Section 11.          Representations and Warranties of Employee.

 

Employee represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

(a)           Employee’s employment will not conflict with or result in his breach of any agreement to which he is a party or otherwise may be bound;

 

(b)           Employee has not violated, and in connection with his employment with the Company will not violate, any non-solicitation, non-competition or other similar covenant or agreement of a prior employer by which he is or may be bound; and

 

(c)           In connection with Employee’s employment with the Company, he will not use any confidential or proprietary information that he may have obtained in connection with employment with any prior employer.

 

Section 12.          Indemnification.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Articles of Association and Organizational Regulations of the Company (in each case, as in effect from time to time), the Company agrees to indemnify and hold Employee harmless to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the United States, as in effect at the time of the subject act or omission.  In connection therewith, Employee shall be entitled to the protection of any insurance policies which the Company elects to maintain generally for the benefit of the Company’s directors and officers, against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever incurred or sustained by Employee in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director, officer or employee of the Company.  This provision shall survive any termination of Employee’s employment hereunder.

 

Section 13.          Taxes.

 

The Company may withhold from any payments made under this Agreement all applicable taxes, including, but not limited to, income, employment and social insurance taxes, as shall be required by law.

 

Section 14.          Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

 

(a)           The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, and may be assigned by the Company to, any purchaser of all or substantially all of the Company’s business or assets or any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise).  The Company will require, in a writing delivered to Employee, any such purchaser, successor or assignee to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would

 

14

 

be required to perform it if no such purchase, succession or assignment had taken place.  The Company may make no other assignment of this Agreement or its obligations hereunder.

 

(b)           Employee.  Employee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be transferable by Employee by assignment or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that if Employee shall die, all amounts then payable to Employee hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Employee’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to Employee’s estate.

 

(c)           No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8(b) or Section 14(b) hereof, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Company and Employee any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

 

Section 15.          Sections 409A and 457A.

 

(a)           It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Sections 409A and 457A, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Sections 409A and 457A.

 

(b)           Neither Employee nor any of his creditors or beneficiaries shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Sections 409A and 457A) payable under this Agreement to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment.  Except as permitted under Sections 409A and 457A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Sections 409A and 457A) payable to Employee or for his benefit under this Agreement may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by Employee to the Company.

 

(c)           If, at the time of Employee’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”)), (i) Employee shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Sections 409A and 457A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A, then the Company shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead pay it, without interest, on the first business day after such six-month period.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Sections 409A and 457A, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Agreement as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A or 457A.  In any case, Employee shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on Employee or for his account in connection with this Agreement (including any taxes and penalties under Sections 409A and 457A), and the Company

 

15

 

shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Employee harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

 

Section 16.          Waiver and Amendments.

 

Any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such waiver, alteration, amendment or modification is consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Board.  No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver.

 

Section 17.          Severability.

 

If any covenants or such other provisions of this Agreement are invalid or unenforceable under applicable law: (a) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, and (b) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof.

 

Section 18.          Governing Law.

 

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF) APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE.

 

Section 19.          Dispute Resolution.

 

Any controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach hereof (other than claims for injunctive relief pursuant to Section 10 hereof) shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association (before a single arbitrator) and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The costs of any such arbitration proceedings shall be borne equally by the Company and Employee; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have the right to award to either party reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs expended in the course of such arbitration or enforcement of the awarded rendered thereunder.  Any award made by such arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties for all purposes, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

Section 20.          Notices.

 

(a)           Every notice or other communication relating to this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by it in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided, provided that, unless and until some other address be so designated, all notices

 

16

 

or communications by Employee to the Company shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, and all notices or communications by the Company to Employee may be given to Employee personally or may be mailed to Employee at Employee’s last known address, as reflected in the Company’s records.

 

(b)           Any notice so addressed shall be deemed to be given:  (i) if delivered by hand, on the date of such delivery; (ii) if mailed by courier or by overnight mail, on the first business day following the date of such mailing; and (iii) if mailed by registered or certified mail, on the third business day after the date of such mailing.

 

Section 21.          Section Headings.

 

The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part thereof, affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or of any term or provision hereof.

 

Section 22.          Entire Agreement.

 

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto regarding the employment of Employee.  This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, correspondence, communications, understandings and agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

 

Section 23.          Survival of Operative Sections.

 

Upon any termination of Employee’s employment, the provisions of Section 4(c) and Section 8 through Section 25 of this Agreement (together with any related definitions set forth in Section 1 hereof) shall survive to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions thereof.

 

Section 24.          Currency.

 

All sums of money expressed in this Agreement are in the lawful money of the United States of America.

 

Section 25.          Counterparts.

 

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  The execution of this Agreement may be by actual or facsimile signature.

account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be
the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall
be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set forth in the first paragraph of this definition. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based

sheet of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date (y) minus, without duplication, the aggregate amount of 

  
 35 

 
cash and cash equivalents restricted in favor of the Term Loan Facility (which may also secure other indebtedness secured by a pari passu or junior lien on the term collateral along with the New
Term Loan Credit Facility to (b) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 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 the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems, repays, retires or extinguishes any
Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced) or issues or redeems Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the
commencement of the period for which the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio is made (the “Secured Net
Leverage Ratio Calculation Date”), then the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness,

with or into the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or discontinued operation that would have required
adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or
discontinued operation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation, the
pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company (and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, cost savings, synergies and operating expense reductions resulting from such

it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code).

maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually 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 the Issuers or a Guarantor or any
Affiliate of the Issuers or a Guarantor. 
 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for

have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.12 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 Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed any 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 Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any such special record date. At least 15 days before any such 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, to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, 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/ISIN Numbers. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and ISIN
numbers (in each case, if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided 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 and ISIN numbers.

Certificate requesting the Trustee select the Notes to be redeemed and the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed (a) if the Notes are listed on an exchange, in compliance with the requirements of such exchange or (b) on a pro rata
basis or by lot (or in case of Global Notes, by such method as DTC may require). In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. 
 The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed or purchased in part,
except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for
redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. 
 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. Subject to
Section 3.09 hereof, notice of redemption shall be delivered by the Issuers by electronic transmission or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, with a copy to the Trustee, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date

certificate numbers) and shall state:

(b) the redemption price; 
 (c)

 61 

 (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;

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is delivered 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 Section 3.07(d) hereof). The notice, if delivered 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 deliver such notice 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 Price. 

(a) Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money

on the Notes or the portions of Notes

called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed 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 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 shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the
preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the Redemption 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 in
Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, 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 portion of the Note
surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. It is understood that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Indenture, 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 4.09(b)(xxiii) shall cease to be deemed incurred or outstanding for the purpose of this Section 4.09(b)(xxiii) but shall be deemed incurred for the purposes of Section 4.09(a) hereof from and after the first date on which the

Section 4.09(b)(xxvi). 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors may not
incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant and Sections 4.09(b)(xii), 4.09(b)(xiv) , 4.09(b)(xxiii), and 4.09(b)(xxiv) (other than, with respect to Sections 4.09(b)(xiv) and 4.09(b)(xxiv),
Indebtedness assumed not in contemplation of an acquisition) and Section 4.09(b)(xiii) to the extent constituting Refinancing Indebtedness of any of the foregoing of the second paragraph of this covenant if, after giving pro forma effect
thereto (including pro forma application of the 

  
 84 

 
proceeds thereof), more than an aggregate of the greater of (a) $150.0 million and (b) 5.00% of Total Assets (determined on the date of such incurrence) of Indebtedness of
non-Guarantors would be outstanding pursuant to this paragraph at such time. 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 4.09: 
 (i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion
thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in Section 4.09(b)(i) through 4.09(b)(xxvi) hereof or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to
Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one of the above clauses or under Section 4.09(a) hereof; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities on the Issue Date will be treated as incurred
on the Issue Date under Section 4.09(b)(i) hereof; 
 (ii) at the time of incurrence, the Company will be entitled to
divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 4.09(a) and 4.09(b) hereof; and 

(iii) in the event that the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (x) incurs Indebtedness to finance an acquisition or
(y) assumes Indebtedness of Persons that are acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or merged into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the date of determination of the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, shall, at the option of the Company, be the date that a definitive agreement for such acquisition is entered into and the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith
(including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) consistent with the definition of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, and, for the
avoidance of doubt, (A) if any such ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the Issuer or the target company) at or prior to the consummation of the
relevant acquisition, such ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether such acquisition and any related transactions are permitted hereunder and (B) such ratios
shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such acquisition or related transactions; provided, further, that if the Company elects to have such determinations occur at the time of entry into such definitive agreement,
(i) any such transaction shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreement is entered into and to be outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any ratios under this Indenture after the date of such agreement and
before the earlier of the date of consummation of such acquisition or the date such agreement is terminated or expires without consummation of such acquisition and (ii) to the extent any covenant baskets were utilized in satisfying any

  
 85 

 
covenants, such baskets shall be deemed utilized, but any calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of other incurrences of Indebtedness or Liens or making of Restricted Payments
(not related to such acquisition) shall not reflect such acquisition until it has been consummated. 
 Accrual of interest or dividends, the
accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, of the same class will
not be deemed to be an incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09. 

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S.
dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed,
in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be
exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing
Indebtedness does not exceed (a) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (b) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing.

 The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the
Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 

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

This Indenture will not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured
or (2) Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral. 

Section 4.10 Asset Sales 

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

  
 86 

 (i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives
consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75.0% of the consideration (for asset sales in excess of $25.0
million) therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of: 

(A) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the
footnotes thereto) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Company and all of its Restricted
Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing; 
 (B) any securities, notes or other obligations or
assets received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the
closing of such Asset Sale; and 
 (C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.10(a)(ii)(C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of
(x) $75.0 million and (y) 2.50% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and
without giving effect to subsequent changes in value, 
 shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no
other purpose. 
 (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, at
its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, 
 (i) to permanently reduce: 

(A) Obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 

(B) Obligations under Senior Indebtedness, other than Senior Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, that
is secured by a Lien, which Lien is permitted by this Indenture, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 

  
 87 

 (C) Obligations under other Senior Indebtedness (and to correspondingly reduce
commitments with respect thereto), other than Senior Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the Company shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under Section 3.07
hereof or through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100.0% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 and 4.10(e) hereof) to all Holders
to purchase their Notes at 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes to be repurchased; or 

(D) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect
thereto), other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (ii) to make (A) an
Investment in any one or more businesses; provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount
of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) capital expenditures or (C) acquisitions of other assets, in the case of each of (A), (B) and (C), used or useful in a Similar Business; or

 (iii) to make an Investment in (A) any one or more businesses; provided that such Investment in any business
is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary or
increases the Issuers’ direct or indirect percentage ownership of the Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) properties or (C) acquisitions of other assets that, in the case of each of (A), (B) and (C), replace the
businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; 
 provided that, in the case of Sections 4.10(b)(ii) and 4.10(b)(iii)
hereof, a binding commitment entered into not later than such 365th day shall extend the period for such Investment or other payment for an additional 180 days after the end of such 365-day period so long as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable
Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”)
within such 180-day period; provided, further, that (x) if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied or (y) such Net Proceeds are not actually so invested or
paid in accordance with Sections 4.10(b)(ii) and 4.10(b)(iii) hereof by the end of such 180-day period, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds (as defined below) on the date of such cancellation or termination, or such 180th day, as
applicable. 

  
 88 

 (c) Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within
the time period set forth in Section 4.10(b) hereof will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $40.0 million, the Company shall make an offer to all Holders and, if
required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate
principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof (or
accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Company will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to
Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $40.0 million by delivering the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Company may satisfy the foregoing
obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 365 days (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to Excess
Proceeds of $40.0 million or less. 
 To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to
an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the Pari
Passu Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Company shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted
value or principal amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered (with adjustments so that only Notes in an amount not less than $2,000 are purchased). Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds that
resulted in the Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero. 
 (d) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this
Section 4.10, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

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

The provisions of Section 3.09 hereof and this Section 4.10 may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 

  
 89 

 Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any
Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10.0 million, unless: 

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or its relevant Restricted
Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and 

(ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions
involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $35.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors of the Company approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying
that such Affiliate Transaction complies with Section 4.11(a)(i) hereof. 
 (b) The provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof will not
apply to the following, without duplication:

Subsidiaries or any entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction; 
 (ii) Permitted
Investments and Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.07 hereof;

 (iv) transactions in which
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point
of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to the Company or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an
unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; 
 (v) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date, or any amendment
thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous in any material respect in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company to the Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on
the Issue Date); 

  
 90 

 (vi) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements which it may
enter into thereafter; provided that the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered
into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this Section 4.11(b)(vi) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous in any material respect in the good faith judgment of the board
of directors of the Company to the Holders when taken as a whole; 
 (vii) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers,
contractors, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services that are Affiliates, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are fair to the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the board of directors of the Company, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; 

(viii) the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to any direct or indirect parent company
of the Company or to any Permitted Holder or to any employee, director, officer, manager, distributor or consultant (or their respective Controlled Investment Affiliates or Immediate Family Members) of the Company, any of its direct or indirect
parent companies or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

Family Members) of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its direct or indirect parent companies pursuant to any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or agreement or any stock
subscription or shareholder agreement; and any employment agreements, stock option plans and other compensatory arrangements (and any successor plans thereto) and any supplemental executive retirement benefit plans or arrangements with any such
employees, directors, officers, managers or consultants (or their respective Controlled Investment Affiliates or Immediate Family Members) that are, in each case, approved by Company in good faith; 

  
 91 

 (xii) payments to or from, and transactions with, any joint venture in the

its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent of amounts actually received in cash from its Unrestricted Subsidiaries) would be required to pay in respect of foreign, federal, state and local income taxes for such fiscal year were the Company, its
Restricted Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent described above) to pay such taxes on a consolidated basis on behalf of an affiliated group consisting only of the Company, its Restricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted

 (xiv) any lease entered into between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as lessee and any Affiliate

Section 4.12 Liens. The Company and the Issuers will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or
indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness or any related Guarantee of Indebtedness, on any asset or property of the Company, the Issuers or any Subsidiary
Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless: 
 (a) in the case of
Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and related Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; and 

(b) in all other cases, the Notes or the Guarantees are equally and ratably secured, except that the foregoing shall not apply to
(i) Liens securing the Notes and the related Guarantees and (ii) Liens securing (x) Indebtedness and other Obligations permitted to be incurred under Credit Facilities, including any letter of credit facility relating thereto, that

Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time); provided that, subject to Section 4.16 hereof, the Company shall not be required to preserve the corporate,
partnership or other existence of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer), if the Company in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 Section 4.14 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. If a Change of Control
occurs, unless the Issuers have previously or concurrently electronically delivered or mailed a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.07 hereof, the Issuers will 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 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, 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 prior to such repurchase. Within
30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers will deliver notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the
Security Register or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures with the following information: 
 (a) that a Change of Control
Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuers;

preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (f) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to
require the Issuers to purchase such Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later 

  
 93 

 than the close of business on the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, a telegram,
facsimile or electronic transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such
Notes purchased; 
 (g) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part 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 at least $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; 

(h) if such notice is mailed or otherwise delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, that the Change of Control Offer is
conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and

this Section 4.14, that a Holder must follow. 
 The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other

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.

 (m) 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, and references therein to “redeem,” “redemption” and similar words shall be deemed to refer to “purchase,”

 The provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 hereof and this Section 4.14
may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 

Section 4.15 Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company
will not permit any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries guarantee Indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company, the Issuers or any Subsidiary
Guarantor), other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary Guarantor, a Foreign Subsidiary (except any Foreign Subsidiary that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer under the Senior Credit Facilities or any foreign tranche of the New ABL Credit Facility)
or a Securitization Subsidiary, to incur or guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Company, the Issuer, or any Subsidiary Guarantor unless: 

(a) 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 Issuer or any Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to
the Notes or such Guarantor’s 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; and 
 (b) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee; 

provided that this covenant shall not be applicable to (i) 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 and (ii) guarantees of any Qualified Securitization Facility by any Restricted Subsidiary. The Issuer may
elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary shall not be required to comply with the 30-day period described in
Section 4.15(a) hereof. 
 Section 4.16 Existence of Corporate Co-Issuer. 

(a) The Issuer will always maintain a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company organized as a corporation under the laws of the United States of
America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that will serve as a co-issuer of the notes unless the Issuer is itself a corporation under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

(v) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with this Indenture and such supplemental indentures, if any, are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company or successor Company (if other than the
Company) and any Guarantor party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms. 
 The Successor Company will succeed to, and be

(x) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the
Company, and 
 (y) the Company may merge with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating the

which the Company, the Issuers or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the
date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the Company, the Issuers or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall refer instead to the successor Person and not
to the Company, the Issuers or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable), and may exercise every right and power of the Company, the Issuers or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor
Person had been named as the Company, the Issuers or a Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, herein; provided that the predecessor Company, predecessor Issuers and predecessor Subsidiary Guarantors shall not be relieved from the obligation to
pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all of the Company’s, the Issuers’ or a Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets that meets the
requirements of Section 5.01 hereof.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.01
Events of Default. 
 An “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever
the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body):

this Indenture or the Notes; 
 (d) 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 the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company 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 $50.0 million or
more at any one time outstanding; 
 (e) failure by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that
together (determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Company for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay final judgments aggregating
in excess of $50.0 million (net of amounts covered by insurance policies issued by reputable insurance companies), 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; 

(f) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together,
would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (in each case determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof), pursuant to or within the
meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(ii) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or

 100 

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

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

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

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (in each case determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Company for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under
Section 4.03 hereof); 
 and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 

(h) the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together (determined as of the most recent
consolidated financial statements of the Company for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or be declared null
and void or any responsible officer of any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the responsible officers of any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together (as of the most recent consolidated financial statement of the
Company for a fiscal quarter end) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), as the case may be, denies in writing that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives written notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination
of this Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture. 

  
 101 

 Section 6.02 Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than of a type
specified in Section 6.01(f) or 6.01(g) hereof) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25.0% 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. 
 Upon the effectiveness
of such declaration, such principal of and premium, if any, and interest will be due and payable immediately. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under Section 6.01(f) or 6.01(g) hereof, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. The Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any
continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. In addition, the Trustee will have no obligation to accelerate the Notes. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all
the Holders rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences (except if such rescission would conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). 

In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) 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:

 (a) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or 

(b) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or

 (c) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured. 

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. 

  
 102 

 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all the Holders waive any existing Default and its consequences under this Indenture (except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on,
premium, if any, or the principal of any Note held by a non-consenting Holder) (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer). 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. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts
with law or 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: 
 (a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default
is continuing; 
 (b) Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have made a written request to the
Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) the Holders of the Notes have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee
against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and
the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (e) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have not given the
Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period; 
 provided that a Holder may not prejudice the rights
of another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such use by a Holder prejudices the rights of any other Holders or obtains preference or priority over such Holders). 

  
 103 

 Section 6.07 Rights of Holders 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 an Asset Sale Offer
or 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) or 6.01(b) 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, 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. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of a 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 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. 

  
 104 

 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 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 collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 (a) to the Trustee,
such Agent, 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 such Agent and the costs and expenses of
collection; 
 (b) to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 

(c) 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 pursuant to this Section 6.13. 

  
 105 

 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 10.0% 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 bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, 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 investigate or confirm 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 this Section 7.01(b) hereof; 
 (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 6.02, 6.04 or 6.05 hereof. 

  
 106 

 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any
way relates to the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.01(a), 7.01(b) and 7.01(c) hereof. 
 (e) The Trustee will be under no obligation to
exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holder of the Notes unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the 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 the document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the
Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company
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 Certificate or Opinion
of Counsel. No Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 12.04 hereof shall be required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Indenture and the authentication of the Notes on the Issue Date. 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 of the Issuers. 

(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. 

  
 107 

 (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, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

 (h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for punitive, special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind
whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

(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, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(j) [Reserved]. 
 (k) Delivery
of reports, information and documents (including without limitation reports contemplated under Section 4.03 hereof) 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’ compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s
Certificates). 
 (l) The permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty
unless so specified herein. 
 (m) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers
and duties hereunder. 

  
 108 

 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 Issuer or any of its Affiliates 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 known to
the Trustee as provided in Section 7.02(g) hereof, the Trustee shall deliver to Holders 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 committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each 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 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 shall be mailed to the Issuers and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d). The Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee
when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom. 

  
 109 

 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 Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all out-of-pocket 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 Company, the
Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend, and protect the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, agents and any predecessor trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold
the Trustee harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability, cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) suffered or 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 Company, the Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any
Holder, the Company, the Issuers or any Subsidiary 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 of which a
Responsible Officer has received written notice 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, gross 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 Company, the
Issuers and the Subsidiary 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, premium, if any, 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(f) or 6.01(g) 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. 

  
 110 

 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 upon 30 days written notice to the Trustee and the Issuers. The Issuers may remove the Trustee if: 

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof or Trust Indenture Act Section 310; 

(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 30 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, at the expense of the Issuers, 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 that 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. 

  
 111 

 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, together with its parent, 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). The
Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b). 
 Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of
Claims Against Issuers. The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall 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 and all obligations of the Guarantors with respect to the Guarantees 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 and all then existing Events of Default cured on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Guarantees), which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the
other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all 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; 

  
 112 

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

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the 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,
4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14 and 4.15 hereof and Sections 5.01(a)(iv), 5.01(a)(v), 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 may not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Guarantees, the Issuers and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and the Guarantees 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(c) (solely with respect to the covenants that are released
upon a Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries subject thereto), 6.01(g) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries subject thereto) and 6.01(h) 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: 
 (a) the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders
of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. dollar-denominated Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent 

  
 113 

 
public accountants, to pay the principal 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, 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; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the
amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of
redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption (it being understood that any defeasance shall be subject to the condition
subsequent that such deficit is in fact paid). Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such
Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption; 
 (b) 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, 

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

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

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders
and 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; 
 (c) 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 Holders and 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 such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant
Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (d) no Default or Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make
such deposit and any similar and 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; 

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Credit
Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which, the Issuers or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuers or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from any

  
 114 

 
borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and,
in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 
 (f) 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; 

(g) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with
the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuers or any Guarantor or others; and 
 (h) 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. 
 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 (or other qualifying trustee,
collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of
such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the 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 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 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. 

  
 115 

 Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuers. Subject to any applicable abandoned
property law, 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 its 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 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’ and the
Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantees 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 Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT

join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of such 

  
 117 

 
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 under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental
indenture or waiver. 
 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: 
 (a) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an
amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b) reduce the principal 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 Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.14 hereof to the extent that any such amendment or waiver does not have the effect of reducing the principal of or changing the
final maturity of any such Note or altering or waiving the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes); 
 (c) reduce the rate
of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; 
 (d) 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; 

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

(f) 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; 
 (g) make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions; 

(h) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, 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; 

  
 118 

 (i) make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes that would materially adversely affect
the Holders; or 
 (j) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees of any Significant Subsidiary in any manner
adverse to the Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement
to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies in all material respects with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it
by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any
Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the 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.

  
 119 

 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. The Issuers may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver
until the board of directors of each of the Issuers approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be provided with, upon request, 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 each 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 (including Section 9.03 hereof). 
 ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTEES 

Section 10.01 Guarantee. Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and
unconditionally, guarantees on an unsecured senior basis, 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: (a) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes, whether for
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any
of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due 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 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 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 full payment 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. 

  
 120 

 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. 
 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 nonpaying 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 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 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 will be a general, unsecured
senior obligation of each Guarantor and will be pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any. 

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. 

  
 121 

 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. Any Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee will 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. 

Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor
hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President or Treasurer, one of its Vice Presidents or one of its Assistant Vice Presidents. 

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no
longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any
Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 

If required by Section 4.15 hereof, the Issuers shall cause any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15
hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable. 

  
 122 

 Section 10.04 Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of
Holders against the Issuers in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to
enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuers under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full. 

Section 10.05 Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the
financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

Section 10.06 Release of Guarantees. Each Guarantee by a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and
discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Issuers or the Trustee is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee, upon: 

(a) (i) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) of (A) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor,
after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (B) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, in each case if such sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this
Indenture to the extent required to be satisfied as of the date of the transaction; 
 (ii) the release or discharge of the
guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities, or such other guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being
understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to provide a
Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof); 
 (iii) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as
an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or 
 (iv) the exercise by the
Issuers of their Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the discharge of the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and 

(b) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with and such Guarantee is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. 

  
 123 

 ARTICLE 11 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to
all Notes, when either: 
 (a) 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 

(b) (i) 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, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the
expense, of the Issuers and the Issuers or any Guarantor have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S.
dollar-denominated Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, 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; provided that upon any redemption that
requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the
notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption (it being understood that any defeasance shall be subject to the condition subsequent that such deficit is
in fact paid). Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be
applied toward such redemption, 
 (ii) no Default or Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be
applied to make such deposit or any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and 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, Notes or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this
Indenture) to which the Issuers or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuers or any Guarantor is bound (other than resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to
other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 
 (iii) the Issuers have paid or
caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and 
 (iv) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable
instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 

  
 124 

 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 Section 11.01(b)(i) hereof, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government
Securities (including the proceeds thereof) 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 or a Guarantor acting as its 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. 
 The Issuers
shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 11.01 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. 
 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 to receive such
payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

[FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 

TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS] 

Supplemental Indenture (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of
                    , among
                     (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Kraton Polymers LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, and Kraton Polymers Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (together, the “Issuers”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). 

W I T N E S S E T H 
 WHEREAS,
Kraton Polymers LLC, Kraton Polymers Capital Corporation and the Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to below) has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of
January 6, 2016, providing for the issuance of an unlimited aggregate principal amount of 10.500% Senior Notes due 2023; 
 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 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 other Guarantors named in the
Indenture (including pursuant to any supplemental indentures), to jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally, guarantee on an unsecured senior basis, 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: 

(i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer
under the Indenture and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and 

  
 D-1 

 (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any
of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due 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 for
whatever reason, the 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 with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers or any other Guarantor, 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 Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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. 

(d) This Guarantee shall not be discharged except by full payment of the obligations contained in the Notes, the Indenture and
this Supplemental Indenture. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations applicable to a Guarantor under the Indenture, including Article 10 of the Indenture (which is deemed incorporated in this Supplemental Indenture and applicable to this
Guarantee). The Guaranteeing Subsidiary acknowledges that by executing this Supplemental Indenture, it will become a Guarantor under the Indenture and subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to Guarantors contained therein. 

(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) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary further agrees that, 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 

  
 D-2 

 
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. 

(i) Pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are
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 Guarantor under this Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

 (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 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 a general, unsecured senior obligation of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, and will be pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, if any. 

(m) Each payment to be made by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary in respect of this Guarantee shall be made without set-off,
counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 (3) Execution and Delivery. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that
the Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes.

transactions, to any Person unless:

Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s related Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments;

(ii) the transaction is made in compliance with Section 4.10 of the Indenture.

 D-4 

 (ii) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guaranteeing Subsidiary of
Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities, or such other guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to
a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Guaranteeing Subsidiary would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to
Section 4.15 in the Indenture); 
 (iii) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guaranteeing Subsidiary
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or

the Issuers and the Guarantors) shall have any liability, for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors (including the Guaranteeing Subsidiary) under the Notes, any Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim
based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
