CO. OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.08 OF THE INDENTURE. 

SECTION 2.03 Execution, Authentication and Denominations. An Officer shall execute the Notes for the Issuer by facsimile or manual
signature in the name and on behalf of the Issuer. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at
the time the Trustee or authenticating agent authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless. 
 A Note shall not
be valid until the Trustee or authenticating agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer of the Issuer (an “Authentication
Order”), authenticate and deliver for original issue Notes that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including Exchange Notes that may be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and any Additional Notes at any time from
time to time thereafter as provided for in this Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more
Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.06, 2.09, 2.10 or 2.11 hereof. 
 The Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may 

  
 13 

 
do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an
Affiliate of the Issuer. 
 The Notes (including any Exchange Notes) shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons
and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 in principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

SECTION 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for
registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (each, a “Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the
Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served, which shall be in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York and any other jurisdiction where the Issuer deems necessary or appropriate. The Issuer shall cause the Registrar acting
as agent of the Issuer to keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Note Register”). The Issuer may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents. 

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement
the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent and any change in the address of such Agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a
Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands, the Trustee shall act as such Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands for so long as such failure shall continue. The Issuer may remove any Agent upon
written notice to such Agent and the Trustee; provided that no such removal shall become effective until (i) the acceptance of an appointment by a successor Agent to such Agent as evidenced by an appropriate agency agreement entered into
by the Issuer and such successor Agent and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as such Agent until the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with clause (i) of this proviso.
The Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer or any Affiliate of any of them may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar, or agent for service of notices and demands; provided, however, that neither the Issuer, any Subsidiary of the
Issuer or any Affiliate of any of them shall act as Paying Agent in connection with the defeasance of the Notes or the discharge of this Indenture under Article Eight hereof. 
 The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent, authenticating agent and agent for service of notices and demands. If, at any time, the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Registrar
shall make available to the Trustee on or before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request, the names and addresses of the Holders as they appear in the Note Register. 

SECTION 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on each due date of the
principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with each Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and interest so becoming due. The Issuer shall require
each Paying Agent, if any, other than a Paying Agent that is a party to this Indenture to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the 

  
 14 

 
Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by the Issuer or any other obligor
on the Notes), and that such Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by
it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to
account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. If the Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer or any Affiliate of any of them acts as Paying Agent, it will, on
or before each due date of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest so
becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act as required by this Section 2.05. 

SECTION 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. The Notes are issuable only in registered form. A Holder may transfer a Note by written
application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon,
registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Note Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Holder as provided herein, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Guarantors shall treat the
person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes whether or not the Note shall be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Depositary (or its agent), and
that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. When Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal
amount of Notes of other authorized denominations (including an exchange of Notes for Exchange Notes), the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met; provided
that no exchanges of Notes for Exchange Notes shall occur until a Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission and that any Notes that are exchanged for Exchange Notes shall be cancelled by the Trustee. To permit
registrations of transfers and exchanges in accordance with the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made to any
Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of the Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such
transfer taxes or other similar governmental charge payable upon transfers, exchanges or redemptions pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.08, 4.04 or 11.04). 
 The Registrar shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice
of redemption of Notes selected for redemption under Section 3.03 hereof 

  
 15 

 
and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 SECTION 2.07 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. (a) The U.S.
Global Notes and Offshore Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Notes or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and
(iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.02 hereof. 
 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary
(“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under any Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by
the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the
Guarantors, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members,
the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Note. 
 (b) Transfers of
a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the
applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.08 hereof. In addition, U.S. Physical Notes and Offshore Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests
in the U.S. Global Notes or the Offshore Global Notes, respectively, if (i) the Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the U.S. Global Notes or the Offshore Global Notes, as the case may be,
and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request to the foregoing effect from the Depositary. 

(c) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in
the other Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable
to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 
 (d) In connection with any
transfer pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.07 of a portion of the beneficial interests in the U.S. Global Notes to beneficial owners who are required to hold U.S. Physical Notes, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and
records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the U.S. Global Notes in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the U.S. Global Notes to be transferred, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, one or more U.S. Physical Notes of like tenor and amount. 

  
 16 

 (e) In connection with the transfer of the entire U.S. Global Notes or Offshore Global Notes
to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.07, the U.S. Global Notes or Offshore Global Notes, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the U.S. Global Notes or Offshore Global Notes, as the case may be, an equal aggregate principal amount of
U.S. Physical Notes or Offshore Physical Notes, as the case may be, of authorized denominations. 
 (f) Any U.S. Physical Note
delivered in exchange for an interest in the U.S. Global Notes pursuant to paragraph (b) or (d) of this Section 2.07 shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (d)(i)(x) and paragraph (e) of Section 2.08 hereof,
bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the U.S. Physical Note set forth in Section 2.02 hereof. 

(g) Any Offshore Physical Note delivered in exchange for an interest in the Offshore Global Notes pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section 2.07 shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (e) of Section 2.08 hereof, bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Offshore Physical Note set forth in Section 2.02 hereof. 

(h) The registered holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that
may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 
 (i) QIBs that are beneficial owners of interests in a Global Note may receive Physical Notes (which shall bear the Private Placement Legend if required by Section 2.02 hereof) in accordance with the
procedures of the Depositary; in connection with the execution, authentication and delivery of such Physical Notes, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records a decrease in the principal amount of the relevant Global Note equal to the
principal amount of such Physical Notes and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Physical Notes having an equal aggregate principal amount. 

SECTION 2.08 Special Transfer Provisions. Unless and until a Note is exchanged for an Exchange Note in connection with an
effective Registration Statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the following provisions shall apply: 
 (a)
Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a U.S. Physical Note or an interest in the U.S. Global Notes to a QIB (excluding transfers outside the United States in
compliance with Regulation S): 
 (i) If the Note to be transferred consists of (x) U.S. Physical Notes, the
Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on the form of Note stating, or has otherwise advised the Issuer and the Registrar in writing, that the sale has been
made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who has signed the certification provided for on the form of Note stating, or has otherwise advised the Issuer and the 

  
 17 

 
Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Note for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB
within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Issuer as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to
request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A or (y) an interest in the U.S. Global Notes, the transfer of

procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the U.S. Global Notes in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the U.S. Global Notes to be
transferred, and (B) if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the 

  
 18 

 
Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Offshore Global Notes in an amount equal to the principal
amount of the U.S. Physical Notes or the U.S. Global Notes, as the case may be, to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Note, if any, so transferred or decrease the amount of the U.S. Global Notes.

(i) The Registrar shall register the transfer of any Note, whether or not such Note bears the Private Placement Legend, if
(x) the requested transfer is after the time period referred to in Rule 144 under the Securities Act as in effect with respect to such transfer and such request is accompanied by a certificate of the transferor to such effect, or
(y) the proposed transferee has delivered to the Registrar (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto and (B) if the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being transferred is less than $250,000 at the time of
such transfer, an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Issuer that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act. 
 (ii) If the proposed transferor is an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in the U.S. Global Notes, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the documents, if any, required by clause

of the U.S. Global Notes in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the U.S. Global Notes to be transferred, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more U.S. Physical Notes
of like tenor and amount. 
 (e) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not
bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes
that bear the Private Placement Legend unless either (i) the circumstances contemplated by clause (d)(i)(x) of this Section 2.08 exist or (ii) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Issuer and the Trustee to the effect that neither such Private Placement Legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. 

(f) General. By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the
restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture. The Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Note unless such
transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture. In connection with any transfer of Notes to a Person that is not a QIB, each Holder agrees by its acceptance of the Notes to furnish the Registrar or the
Issuer such certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them may reasonably require to confirm that such 

  
 19 

 
transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that the Registrar shall not be
required to determine, but may rely on a determination made by the Issuer with respect to, the sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other information. 

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof
or this Section 2.08. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar. 

SECTION 2.09 Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder claims that the Note has been
lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided that the requirements of the
second paragraph of Section 2.10 hereof are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be furnished that is sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Guarantors, the
Trustee or any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge such Holder for its expenses and the expenses of the Trustee in replacing a Note. In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully
taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof. 
 Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.10 Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and
those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, it
ceases to be outstanding unless and until the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof reasonably satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer) holds on the maturity date money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease
to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue. 
 A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or
one of its Affiliates holds such Note; provided, however, that, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
waiver hereunder, Notes owned by the Issuer or any Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Issuer or any Guarantor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon
any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be
regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor of the Notes or any Affiliate of the
Issuer or of such other obligor. 

  
 20 

 SECTION 2.11 Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the
Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the
Officer executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged,
the temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes. 
 SECTION 2.12
Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall
cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of them in accordance with its normal procedure. The Issuer shall not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” or
“ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice
shall 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 or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
on the Notes. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers for the Notes. 
 SECTION 2.14 Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay, or shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient
to pay, the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) interest on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. A special record date, as used in this Section 2.14 with respect to the
payment of any defaulted interest, shall mean the 15th day next preceding the date fixed by the Issuer for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the
Issuer shall mail to each Holder and to the Trustee a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. 
 SECTION 2.15 Issuance of Additional Notes. The Issuer may issue Additional Notes under this Indenture. Each of the Notes issued on the Closing Date and any Additional Notes subsequently issued
shall each be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, unless otherwise provided in this Indenture; provided, however, that any Additional Notes that are not fungible with existing Notes for U.S. federal income
tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP, ISIN and other identifying number from the existing Notes.

the Paying Agent; 
 (vi) that, if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount (equal
to integral multiples of $1,000) of such Note to be redeemed and that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be reissued; and

 (c) At the Issuer’s request (which request may be revoked by the Issuer at any time prior to the time at which the
Trustee shall have given such notice to the Holders), made in writing to the Trustee at least 60 days (or such shorter period as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) before a Redemption Date, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in
the name and at the expense of the Issuer. If, however, the Issuer gives such notice to the Holders, the Issuer shall concurrently deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such notice has been given.

Notes or portion of Notes specified in such notice to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price stated therein, together with accrued interest to such Redemption Date, and on and after such date (unless
the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price and accrued interest to the Redemption Date, in which case the principal, until paid, shall bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed in the Notes),
such Notes shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with a notice of redemption, such Note shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the Redemption Price; provided that installments of interest

 SECTION 6.02 Acceleration. If an Event of Default described in Section 6.01
hereof shall have occurred and is continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare all outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, by notice to the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders of all of Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this
Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. 
 SECTION 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or 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. 
 SECTION 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 11.02 hereof, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by notice to the Trustee, may waive an
existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note as specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 or in respect of a covenant or
provision of this Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. 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; provided, however, that such waiver shall not extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

SECTION 6.05 Control by Majority. The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; provided that the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction;
provided further that the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.05. 

SECTION 6.06 Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or other remedy, with respect to this
Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (i) such Holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 

  
 30 

 (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes makes a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (iii) such Holder or Holders
have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and 

(v) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not
give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent the request. 
 For purposes of Section 6.05 hereof and this
Section 6.06, the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 316(a) in making any determination of whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes have concurred in any request or direction of the
Trustee to pursue any remedy available to the Trustee or the Holders with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or otherwise under the law. 
 A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder. 

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 of, premium, if any, or interest on such Holder’s Note on or after the respective due dates expressed on such Note, 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 in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against
the Issuer, a Guarantor or any other obligor of the Notes for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of
such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the Notes, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 SECTION 6.09 Trustee May File
Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may 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 any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, a Subsidiary of the Issuer or any Affiliate of any
of them, its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or upon any such 

  
 31 

 
claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official 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 agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower 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 thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

SECTION 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money in the
following order: 
 First: to the Trustee for all amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof; 

Second: to Holders for amounts then due and unpaid for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in
respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

 Third: to the Issuer, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Issuer, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.10. 
 SECTION 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court 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 6.11 does not apply to a suit by
the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 
 SECTION 6.12 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 proceeding, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall
be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

SECTION 6.13 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Notes in Section 2.09, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee 

  
 32 

 
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 6.14 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder 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 Six 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. 
 ARTICLE SEVEN 
 TRUSTEE 

SECTION 7.01 General. The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the TIA and as set forth herein. 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 shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee need only perform those duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability 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 adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not herein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Article Seven. 
 SECTION 7.02 Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to TIA Sections 315(a) through (d): 
 (i) the Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in
any such document; 
 (ii) before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion; 

  
 33 

 (iii) the Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed with due care; 
 (iv) the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (v) 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 its rights or powers conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture;

 (vi) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be
proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s
Certificate; 
 (vii) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated
in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or 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 Issuer personally
or by agent or attorney at the expense of the Issuer and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation; 
 (viii) 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 in respect of any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it thereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
 (ix) the Trustee shall not
be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture; and 
 (x) 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 to each agent,
co-trustee, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 
 SECTION 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The
Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like
rights. However, the Trustee is subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311. 

  
 34 

 SECTION 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (i) makes no representation
as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, (ii) shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use or application of the proceeds from the Notes and (iii) shall not be responsible for any statement in the Notes other
than its certificate of authentication. 
 SECTION 7.05 Notice of Default. If any Default or any Event of Default occurs
and is continuing and if such Default or Event of Default is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c) notice of the Default or Event
of Default within 90 days after it occurs, unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note,
the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders. 

SECTION 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each April 15, beginning with April 15, 2014, the
Trustee shall mail to each Holder as provided in TIA Section 313(c) a brief report dated as of such April 15, if required by TIA Section 313(a). 
 SECTION 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. (a) The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee and each Paying Agent such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing for its services. The compensation
of the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee and each Paying Agent upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee and each Paying Agent. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s or such Paying Agent’s agents and counsel. 

(b) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall indemnify the Trustee, its agents and officers, and each Agent against any and all losses,
liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, judgments, actions, claims, suits, proceedings, such reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) of any kind whatsoever which may be incurred by the
Trustee, its agents and officers, or such Agent arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantors need not reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss, obligation, damage, penalty, judgment, action, suit, proceeding, reasonable cost or expense (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) of any kind whatsoever which may be incurred by the
Trustee or such Agent, as the case may be, in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such indemnified party is designated a party to such proceeding) in which and to the extent that it is
determined that the Trustee, its agents and officers, or any Agent acted with negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee and each Agent shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim of which the Responsible Officer of the Trustee or an
officer of such Agent has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or any Agent to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the 

  
 35 

 
Issuer and the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder, unless the Issuer and the Guarantors are materially prejudiced thereby. The Issuer or such Guarantor shall defend the claim and the
Trustee and such Agent, as the case may be, shall cooperate in the defense. Unless otherwise set forth herein, the Trustee or any Agent may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the
Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without the Issuer’s consent. 
 (c) To secure the Issuer’s
and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or any Paying Agent, in its capacity as Trustee
or Paying Agent, except money or property held in trust by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes. 
 (d) If the Trustee or Paying Agent incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01 hereof, the expenses and
the compensation for the services will be intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable federal or state law for the relief of debtors. 

(e) The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the
Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. (a) 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. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Issuer. The Issuer may at any time remove the Trustee by Issuer Order given at least 30 days prior to the
date of the proposed removal. 
 (c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for
any reason, the Issuer 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 outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the
successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance required by the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.08 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the
retiring Trustee (at the expense of the Issuer), the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(d) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer, immediately
after the delivery of such written acceptance, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.07 hereof, (i) the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, (ii) the resignation or removal

  
 36 

 
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and (iii) the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall
mail notice of its succession to each Holder. 
 (e) If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10 hereof, any
Holder who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(f) The Issuer shall give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all
Holders. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 (g)
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligation under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

SECTION 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, trust company or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act shall be the
successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein. 
 SECTION 7.10
Eligibility. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1). The Trustee (together with its parent) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25.0 million as set forth in
its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 SECTION 7.11 Money Held in Trust. The Trustee shall not be
liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and except for money held in trust under
Article Eight and Article Ten of this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE EIGHT 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 The
Issuer may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the
conditions set forth below in this Article Eight. 
 SECTION 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and each of
the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their 

  
 37 

 
obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For
this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be
“outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note
Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: 
 (1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or
premium, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 
 (2) the
Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article Two and Section 4.02 hereof; 
 (3) the rights, powers,
trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Article Eight. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the
Issuer 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 Issuer’s exercise under
Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, 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 and 4.08 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant
Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants,
but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to
the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of
any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(c) hereof will not constitute an Event of Default. 

  
 38 

 SECTION 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof: 

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable
Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on, the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such Stated Maturity or to a particular Redemption
Date;

change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of
Counsel (or Opinions of Counsel) shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income
tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (or Opinions of Counsel) confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes

Default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound; 
 (5) such Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of
its Subsidiaries is bound; 

  
 39 

 (6) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the
deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others; and 

(7) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 SECTION 8.05 Deposited
Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to Section 8.06 hereof,
all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to
Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including
the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for
the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article Eight to the contrary, the
Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized 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(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be
deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 SECTION 8.06 Repayment to Issuer.

 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, 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, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer)
will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of
the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; 

  
 40 

 
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in the New York
Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of
such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. 
 SECTION 8.07 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with
Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations of the Issuer and Guarantor under
this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in
accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE NINE 
 NOTE GUARANTEES 

SECTION 9.01 Guarantee. 
 (a) Subject to this Article Nine, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee
and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: 

(i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at
Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be
promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and 
 (ii) in case of
any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by
acceleration, redemption or otherwise. 
 Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed
for whatever reason, the Guarantors will 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. 

  
 41 

 (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery
of any judgment against the Issuer, 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 Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be
discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (c) If any Holder or
the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid to either the
Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will 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, (i) the maturity of
the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the
purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee. 

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

(f) In case any provision of any Note 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. 

  
 42 

 (g) The Note Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a general unsecured senior
obligation of such Guarantor and shall rank equally in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any. 
 (h) Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 

SECTION 9.02 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 Note 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 Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of
such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor
under this Article Nine, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 SECTION 9.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. 
 To evidence its
Note Guarantee set forth in Section 9.01 hereof, each initial Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture has been executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers. 

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 9.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on
this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Notes, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. 
 Upon execution of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture by a new Guarantor substantially in the form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor set forth in this
Indenture shall be deemed duly delivered, without any further action by any Person, on behalf of such Guarantor. 
 The delivery
of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture or any supplemental indenture on behalf of the Guarantors who are signatories thereto. 

  
 43 

 SECTION 9.04 Releases. 

A Note Guarantee of a Guarantor (other than Parent) will be released: 

(a) in connection with any sale, disposition or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of
merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Guarantor; 
 (b) in connection with any sale, disposition or transfer of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a
Guarantor; 
 (c) upon the release or discharge of such Guarantors’ guarantee of the Credit Agreement or under the Debt
that triggered such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee; 
 (d) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor;
provided that no Default or Event of Default shall occur as a result thereof or has occurred and is continuing; or 
 (e)
upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance as provided in Article Eight hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in Article Ten hereof. 
 Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 9.04 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on
the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article Nine. 

ARTICLE TEN 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 SECTION 10.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 This Indenture will be
discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when: 
 (1) either: 

(a) all Notes that have been authenticated thereunder, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or
paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(b) all Notes issued thereunder that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable
by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the
Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the Stated Maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

  
 44 

 (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such
deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit or liens securing such borrowing) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any
other instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound; 
 (3) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid
all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and 
 (4) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under
this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at Stated Maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the Issuer 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 has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
clause (1)(b) of this Section 10.01, the provisions of Sections 8.06 and 10.02 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 10.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their
terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 10.02 Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 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 Issuer 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; provided that such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required
by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with
Section 10.01 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 obligations of the Issuer and the
Guarantors under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

  
 45 

 ARTICLE ELEVEN 
 AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 
 SECTION 11.01 Without Consent of
Holders. Notwithstanding Section 11.02 hereof, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees without notice to or the consent of any Holder: 

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

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

(3) to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Issuer or a Guarantor to Holders of the Notes and the Note Guarantees in the
case of a merger or consolidation or a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

 (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of such Notes or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 
 (5) to comply with requirements of the Commission
in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; 
 (6) to conform the text of this Indenture,
the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the Description of Notes in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in such Description of Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture;

 (7) to add a Guarantor or release any Guarantor from its Note Guarantee if such release is in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture; or 
 (8) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this
Indenture. 
 SECTION 11.02 With Consent of Holders. (a) Except as set forth in Section 11.01 and 11.02(b)
hereof, this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or Exchange Offer for, the Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or Note Guarantee may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). 

(b) Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04 hereof, may
not: 
 (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Note; 

  
 46 

 (ii) reduce the principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any
Note; 
 (iii) change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any
Note; 
 (iv) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any
Note; 
 (v) reduce the percentage or principal amount of outstanding Notes, the consent of whose Holders is
necessary to modify or amend this Indenture or waive compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or waive certain Defaults; 
 (vi) waive a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes; or 
 (vii) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except as set forth under the Article Nine hereof; 

(c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 11.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (d) After an
amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 11.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Issuer will mail supplemental indentures to
Holders upon request. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 

SECTION 11.03 Revocation and Effect of Consent. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a
continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or
subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion of its Note. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An
amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 

The Issuer 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 last two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies) and only
those persons shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or 

  
 47 

 
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 90 days
after such record date. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it is
of the type described in any of clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 11.02(b) hereof. In case of an amendment or waiver of the type described in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 11.02(b) hereof, the amendment or
waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same indebtedness as the Note of the consenting Holder. 
 SECTION 11.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may
place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the
Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment,
supplement or waiver. 
 SECTION 11.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Eleven is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. Subject to the preceding
sentence, the Trustee shall sign such amendment, supplement or waiver if the same does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 SECTION 11.06 Conformity with Trust
Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article Eleven shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect. 
 ARTICLE TWELVE 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

SECTION 12.01 Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, this Indenture shall
incorporate and be governed by the provisions of the TIA that are required to be part of and to govern indentures qualified under the TIA. After the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, this Indenture shall be subject to the provisions of
the TIA that are required to be a part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions. 

  
 48 

 SECTION 12.02 Notices. Any notice or communication shall be sufficiently given if in
writing and delivered in person or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows: 
 if to the Issuer or
any Guarantor: 
 The Kansas City Southern Railway Company 

427 West 12th Street 
 Kansas City, MO 64105 
 Facsimile: (816) 983-1198 

Attention: Treasurer 
 if to the Trustee: 
 U.S. Bank National Association 

Corporate Trust Services 
 225 Asylum Street, 23rd Floor 
 Hartford, CT 06103-1919 

Attention: Michael M. Hopkins 
 The Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee by notice to the others may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications. 

All notices or communications to a Holder shall be deemed to have been given upon the mailing by first class mail, postage prepaid, of
such notices to Holders at their registered addresses as recorded in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed in the Notes for the giving of such notice. Copies of any such communication
or notice to a Holder shall also be mailed to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time. 
 Failure to mail a notice or
communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. Except for a notice to the Trustee, which is deemed given only when received, and except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, if a
notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided in this Section 12.02, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice
by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. All communication delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed effective when actually received by
the Trustee. 
 Neither the failure to give any notice to a particular Holder, nor any defect in any notice given to any
particular Holder, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice given to another Holder. 

  
 49 

 SECTION 12.03 Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or
application by the Issuer to the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, if the Trustee so requests:

for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and

(i) a statement that each person signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the
definitions herein relating thereto; 
 (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
investigation upon which the statement or opinion contained in such certificate or opinion is based; 
 (iii) a
statement that, in the opinion of each such person, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 

(iv) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of each such person, such condition or covenant has been complied
with; provided, however, that, with respect to matters of fact, an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate or certificates of public officials. 
 SECTION 12.05 Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent or Registrar. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders. The Paying Agent or Registrar may make reasonable rules
for its functions. 
 SECTION 12.06 Payment Date Other Than a Business Day. If an Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date,
Stated Maturity or date of maturity of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Note, as the case may be, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business
Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity or date of maturity of such Note; provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date, Redemption Date, Stated Maturity or date of maturity, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 12.07 Governing Law.
THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES. 

  
 50 

 SECTION 12.08 No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not
be used to interpret another indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture. 

SECTION 12.09 No Personal Liability of Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers, Directors, or Employees. No recourse for the payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes issued under this Indenture or for any claim based on this Indenture or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the
Issuer or any Guarantor in this Indenture, or in any of the Notes or the Note Guarantees or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or
controlling person of the Issuer, any Guarantor or of any successor Person thereof. Each Holder, by accepting the Notes, waives and releases all such liability. 
 SECTION 12.11 Successors. All agreements of the Issuer in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind their successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. All
agreements of each Guarantor in this Indenture will bind its successors, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.04 hereof. 
 SECTION 12.12 Counterpart Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Indenture by facsimile, .pdf attachment, email or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Indenture. 

SECTION 12.13 Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes 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.

 [REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 

The Kansas City Southern Railway Company 
 4.30% Senior Notes 
  

	1.	Principal and Interest. 

The Issuer will pay the principal of this Note on May 15, 2043. 

The Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each Interest Payment Date at the rate of 4.30% per
annum. 
 Interest will be payable semiannually (to the holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on May 1 or
November 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date) on each Interest Payment Date, commencing [November 15, 2013].1 
 Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, [from April 29, 2013];2 provided that, if there is no existing default in the payment
of interest and this Note is authenticated between a Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and interest on
overdue installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate per annum borne by the Notes to the extent lawful and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 

 

	2.	Method of Payment. 

 The
Issuer will pay principal as provided above and interest (except defaulted interest) on the principal amount of the Notes as provided above on each Interest Payment Date to the persons who are Holders (as reflected in the Note Register at the
close of business on May 1 and November 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date), in each case, even if the Note is cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such record date; provided that,
with respect to the payment of principal, the Issuer will not make payment to the Holder unless this Note is surrendered to a Paying Agent. 
 The Issuer will pay principal, premium, if any, and, as provided above, interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However,
the Issuer may pay principal, premium, if any, and interest by its check payable in such money. The Issuer may mail an interest check to a Holder’s registered address (as reflected in the Note Register). If a payment date is a date other than a
Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. 

 
  

	1 	With respect to Notes issued on the Closing Date. 

	2 	With respect to Notes issued on the Closing Date. 

  
 A-4

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar. 

 Initially, the Trustee will act as authenticating agent, Paying Agent in New York and Registrar. The Issuer may appoint or change any authenticating agent, Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The
Issuer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of them may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar. 
  

	4.	Indenture; Limitations. 

The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of April 29, 2013 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the
guarantors party thereto and the U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and as paying agent (“Paying Agent”). Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise
indicated. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust
Indenture Act for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control. The Notes are
general unsecured obligations of the Issuer. 
  

	5.	Optional Redemption. 

Prior to November 15, 2042, the Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at the Issuer’s
option, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be
redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at then-current Treasury Rate, plus 25 basis points, plus
accrued interest to but excluding the Redemption Date. 
 On or after November 15, 2042, the Notes will be redeemable in
whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at the Issuer’s option, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest to but excluding the Redemption Date. 

Upon completion of the Exchange Offer, the Issuer may redeem Notes which are not exchanged in the Exchange Offer in an amount up to 2.0%
of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued at a Redemption Price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date. 

 

	6.	Partial Redemption. 

 If
less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities 

  
 A-5

 
exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not listed on a national securities exchange, pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion
shall deem to be fair and appropriate; provided that no Notes of $2,000 in principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. 
  

	7.	Notice of Redemption. 

Notice of any redemption pursuant to Section 5 hereof will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption
Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at his or her last address as it appears in the Note Register. Notes in original denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue and
the principal amount shall remain constant (using the principal amount as of the Redemption Date) on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price. 

 

	8.	Repurchase upon Change of Control Repurchase Event. 

 Upon the occurrence of any Change of Control Repurchase Event, each Holder shall have the right to require the repurchase of its Notes by the Issuer in cash pursuant to the offer described in the
Indenture at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of repurchase plus accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. 
 A notice of such Change of Control Repurchase Event will be mailed within 30 days after any Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to the Change of Control, but
after public announcement of such Change of Control, to each Holder of the Notes with a copy to the Trustee. Notes in original denominations larger than $2,000 may be sold to the Issuer in part. On and after the Change of Control Payment Date,
interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes surrendered for purchase by the Issuer, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the repurchase price. 
  

	9.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

 The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 of principal amount and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes
in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not
register the transfer or exchange of any Notes selected for redemption. Also, it need not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed is made. 

 

	10.	Persons Deemed Owners. 

 A
Holder shall be treated as the owner of a Note for all purposes. 

  
 A-6

	11.	Unclaimed Money. 

 If
money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Issuer at its request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the
Issuer for payment, unless an abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease. 

 

	12.	Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. 

 The Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture,

	13.	Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. 

 Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding, and any existing default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the
parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency and make any change that does not adversely affect the legal rights of any
Holder. 
  

	14.	Restrictive Covenants. 

The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Issuer and the Guarantors, among other things, to create or permit any
lien or merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all of their assets. Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Issuer must report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations. 

 

	15.	Successor Persons. 

 When
a successor person or other entity assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the predecessor person will be released from those obligations. 

 

	16.	Defaults and Remedies.

applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, (ii) appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official for the Issuer or a Guarantor or for all or
substantially all of the property and assets of the Issuer or a Guarantor or (iii) the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer or a Guarantor and, in each case, such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a

involuntary case under any such law; (ii) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official for the Issuer or a Guarantor or for all or substantially

certain limitations, Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

 The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the

 5. We are an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act or an entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited
investors within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2) or (3) under the Securities Act (an “institutional accredited investor”) able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the notes.
