Preferred Stock”.

 

II.
DIVIDENDS

 

The
holders of the Series CC Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive dividends.

 

III.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

 

(a)
At any time prior to November 22, 2022 (“Automatic Conversion Date ”) the Corporation may redeem for cash out of funds
legally available therefor, any or all of the outstanding Series CC Convertible Preferred Stock (“Optional Redemption”)
at a price equal to $1,000 per share.

 

(b)
Should the Corporation exercise the right of Optional Redemption it shall provide each holder of Preferred Stock with at least
20 days’ notice of any proposed optional redemption pursuant this Article III (an “Optional Redemption Notice”).
Any optional redemption pursuant to this Article III shall be made ratably among holders in proportion to the Liquidation Value
of Preferred Stock then outstanding and held by such holders. The Optional Redemption Notice shall state the Liquidation Value
of Preferred Stock to be redeemed and the date on which the Optional Redemption is to occur (which shall not be less than thirty
(30) or more than sixty (60) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice) and shall be delivered
by the Corporation to the holders at the address of such holder appearing on the register of the Corporation for the Preferred
Stock. Within seven (5) business days after the date of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice, each holder shall provide
the Corporation with instructions as to the account to which payments associated with such Optional Redemption should be deposited.
On the date of the Optional Redemption, provided for in the relevant Optional Redemption Notice, (A) the Corporation will deliver
the redemption amount via wire transfer to the account designated by the holders, and (B) the holders will deliver the certificates
relating to that number of shares of Preferred Stock being redeemed, duly executed for transfer or accompanied by executed stock
powers, in either case, transferring that number of shares to be redeemed. Upon the occurrence of the wire transfer (or, in the
absence of a holder designating an account to which funds should be transferred, delivery of a certified or bank cashier’s
check in the amount due such holder in connection with such Optional Redemption to the address of such holder appearing on the
register of the Corporation for the Preferred Stock), that number of shares of Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to such Optional
Redemption as represented by the previously issued certificates will be deemed no longer outstanding.

 

IV.
CONVERSION

 

(a)
The holder may, from time to time and at any time prior to the Automatic Conversion Date, convert part or all of its shares of
Series CC Convertible Preferred Stock into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock at a price per share
determined by dividing the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on the date of conversion, by
1,000 and multiplying the result by 0.8 (Conversion Price”).

 

(b)
Automatic Conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all remaining issued and outstanding shares of Series CC Convertible
Preferred Stock shall automatically convert at the Conversion Price, on the Automatic Conversion Date.

 

(c)
Mechanics of Conversion. To convert the Series CC Convertible Preferred Stock, a holder shall: (i) email, fax (or otherwise deliver
by other means resulting in notice) a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion in the form provided by the Company and (ii)
within three (3) business days surrender or cause to be surrendered to the Company the certificates representing the Series CC
Convertible Preferred Stock being converted (the “Preferred Stock Certificates”) accompanied by duly executed stock
powers and the original executed version of a notice of conversion. The date of the Company’s receipt of the notice of conversion
shall be the “Conversion Date”.

the calculation of the Conversion Price, the Company shall submit the disputed calculations to an independent accounting firm,
acceptable to holder, via facsimile within two (2) business days of receipt of the notice of conversion. The accounting firm shall
audit the calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than two (2) business days from the date
it receives the disputed calculations. The accounting firm’s calculation shall be deemed conclusive, absent manifest error.
The Company shall then issue the appropriate number of shares of common stock in accordance with this Article III.

 

(e)
Timing of Conversion. No later than the third business day following the Conversion Date (the “Delivery Period”),
provided that the Company has received prior to such date the Preferred Stock Certificates, the Company shall deliver to the holder
(or at its direction) (x) that number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the number of Series CC Convertible
Preferred Stock being converted and (y) a certificate representing the number of Series CC Convertible Preferred Stock not being
converted, if any. The person or persons entitled to receive shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated
for all purposes as the record holder of such shares at the close of business on the Conversion Date and such shares shall be
issued at such time, unless the notice of conversion is revoked as provided in Article III(e). The Delivery Period shall be extended
until the business day following the date of delivery to the Company of the Preferred Stock Certificates to be converted.

 

(f)
Revocation of notice of conversion. In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the holder, in the event the Company
fails for any reason to effect delivery to the holder of certificates representing the shares of common stock receivable upon
conversion of the Series CC Convertible Preferred Stock by the business day following the expiration of the Delivery Period, the
holder may revoke the notice of conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of
such a revocation notice, the Company shall immediately return the subject Preferred Stock Certificates and other conversion documents,

held immediately prior to delivery of the notice of conversion.

the issuance of common stock to any person other than the registered holder of the Series CC Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

(h)
No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of common stock are to be issued upon the conversion of Series CC Convertible Preferred
Stock, but the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable in an
amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date of a share of common stock; provided that in
the event that sufficient funds are not legally available for the payment of such cash adjustment any fractional shares of common
stock shall be rounded up to the next whole number.

 

(i)
Electronic Transmission. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the common stock issuable upon conversion, provided
the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities
Transfer program (the “FAST Program”), upon request of a holder who shall have previously instructed such holder’s
prime broker to confirm such request to the Company’s transfer agent and upon the holder’s compliance with Article
III(b), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the common
stock issuable upon conversion to the holder by crediting the account of holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit

of the outstanding Series CC Convertible Preferred Stock (without giving effect to any limitation on conversion or exercise thereof).

in clause (x) above, and to all holders, in the case of a Conversion Default described in clause (y) above, an amount equal to
1% of the Face Amount of the Series CC Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to which the Conversion Default exists (which

of a Conversion Default with respect to any of the other holders.

Company’s most recently completed fiscal year or, at the Company’s option, a reserve report prepared as of the
end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter, as increased by, as of the date of determination, the discounted future
net revenue of (A) estimated proved oil and gas reserves of the Company and its Subsidiaries attributable to any acquisition
consummated since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, and (B) estimated proved oil and gas
reserves of the Company and its Subsidiaries attributable to extensions, discoveries and other additions and upward revisions
of estimates of proved oil and gas reserves due to exploration, development or exploitation, production or other activities
conducted or otherwise occurring since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, which, in the
case of sub-clauses (A) and (B), would, in accordance with standard industry practice, result in such increases as calculated
in accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing the prices utilized in such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as
applicable), and decreased by, as of the date of determination, the discounted future net revenue of (C) estimated proved oil
and gas reserves of the Company and its Subsidiaries produced or disposed of since the date of such year-end or
quarterly reserve report, as applicable, and (D) reductions in the estimated oil and gas reserves of the Company and its
Subsidiaries since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, attributable to downward revisions
of estimates of proved oil and gas reserves due to exploration, development or exploitation, production or other activities
conducted or otherwise occurring since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, which, in the
case of sub-clauses (C) and (D), would, in accordance with standard industry practice, result in such decreases as calculated
in accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing the prices utilized in such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as
applicable); provided that, in the case of each of the determinations made pursuant to clauses (A) through (D), such
increases and decreases may be estimated by the Company’s engineers, (ii) the capitalized costs that are attributable

quarterly financial statements, (iii) the Net Working Capital on a date no earlier than the date of the Company’s
latest annual or quarterly financial statements and (iv) the greater of (A) the net book value on a date no earlier than the

any gas balancing liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries reflected as a long-term liability in the
Company’s latest annual or quarterly financial statements, (iii) the discounted future net revenue, calculated in

applicable), attributable to reserves which are required to be delivered to third parties to fully satisfy the obligations of
the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to Volumetric Production Payments on the schedules specified with respect
thereto, (iv) the discounted future net revenue, calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines, attributable to reserves
subject to Dollar-Denominated Production Payments which, based on the estimates of production included in determining the
discounted future net revenue specified in (a) (i) above (utilizing the same prices utilized in the Company’s year-end
or quarterly reserve report, as applicable), would be necessary to fully satisfy the payment obligations of the Company and
its Subsidiaries with respect to Dollar-Denominated Production Payments on the schedules specified with respect thereto and
(v) the discounted future net revenue, calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing the same prices utilized in
the Company’s year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable), attributable to reserves subject to participation
interests, overriding royalty interests or other interests of third parties, pursuant to participation, partnership, vendor
financing or other agreements then in effect, or which otherwise are required to be delivered to third parties. For the
avoidance of doubt, “reserves” shall include any reserves applicable to natural gas liquids.

Net Assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor” at any date shall mean the lesser of (i) the amount by which the fair value
of the property of such Subsidiary Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation,
contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date),
but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor at such date and (ii) the amount by which the
present fair saleable value of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required
to pay the probable liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and
contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any Subsidiary of such
Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such Subsidiary under the Guarantee), excluding debt in respect of the
Guarantee, as they become absolute and matured.

is not published, any publicly available source of similar market data) and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the
maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after January 1, 2022,
yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the

month), calculated on the third Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date, plus 50 basis points.

common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect

have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

Person under the lease during the primary term thereof, without giving effect to any renewals at the option of the lessee, discounted
from the respective due dates thereof to such date at the rate of interest per annum implicit in the terms of the lease. As used
in the preceding sentence, the “net amount of rent” under any lease for any such period shall mean the sum of rental
and other payments required to be paid with respect to such period by the lessee thereunder excluding any amounts required to be
paid by such lessee on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges. In the
case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon payment of a penalty, such net amount of rent shall also include the amount
of such penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which
it may be so terminated.

 

“Average Life”
means, as of the date of determination, with respect to any Indebtedness or Preferred Stock, the quotient obtained by dividing
(1) the sum of the products of numbers of years from the date of determination to the dates of each successive scheduled principal

owned by any Obligor, then such Oil and Gas Property shall no longer constitute a Borrowing Base Property.

 

“Business Day”
means any day on which banks in The City of New York are open and which is not a Legal Holiday.

Indenture. The Securities may have such insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted
by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed
thereon as the Company may deem appropriate or as may be required or appropriate to comply with any law or with any rules made

usage, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the Officers of the Company executing such Securities, as evidenced by
their execution of the Securities.

shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined

Form of Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication. The Trustee’s certificates of authentication shall be in substantially
the following form:

 

This is one
of the Securities referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

 

	 	
        DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS

        As Trustee

	 	 
	 	Date: _________	By:	                   
	 	Authorized Signatory

 

SECTION 2.03                     
Amount Unlimited; Issuance of Additional Securities. The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be issued,
executed, authenticated, delivered and outstanding under this Indenture is unlimited.

 

On the Issue Date, the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver $2,210,156,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities.

 

The Company shall be
entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.10, to issue Additional Securities under this Indenture which shall have
identical terms as the Securities issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price. The
Securities issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Securities shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this
Indenture, including waivers, consents, directions, declarations, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided,
however, that if any Additional Securities are not fungible with the Securities issued on the Issue Date for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, such Additional Securities shall be issued under a separate CUSIP number (and, if applicable, ISIN).

 

The Securities shall
be issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

SECTION 2.04                     
Execution of Securities. The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by two Officers thereof. Such signatures
upon the Securities may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such Officers and may be imprinted or
otherwise reproduced on the Securities. The seal of the Company, if any, is not required to appear on the Securities, but if it
does so appear it may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on
the Securities.

 

Only such Securities
as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, manually signed by the Trustee,
shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee
upon any Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

 

    -35-

     

    

 

In case any
Officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such Officer before the Securities so
signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Securities
nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Securities had not ceased
to be such Officer of the Company; and any Security may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as, at the actual
date of the execution of such Security, shall be the proper Officers of the Company, although at the date of such Security or
of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such Officer.

 

SECTION 2.05                     
Authentication and Delivery of Securities. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company
Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Securities
in accordance with such Company Order.

 

The Trustee shall not
be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s
own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee.

 

If any Security shall
have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security
to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.14, such Security shall for all purposes of this Indenture be deemed
never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

 

The Trustee may appoint
an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment,
an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication
by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights under Section 7.03 to
deal with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as any Registrar or Paying Agent.

 

Each Security shall be
dated the date of its authentication.

 

SECTION 2.06                     
Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), and an office or agency where Securities may be
presented for redemption or repurchase, if applicable, and for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall
keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange (the “Register”). The Company may have
one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents for the Securities. With respect to any Securities, the term
“Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any additional co-registrar.

 

    -36-

     

    

 

The Company shall
enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement
shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name
and address of any such Agent and shall furnish the Trustee with an executed counterpart of any such agency agreement. The
Company at any time may replace any Registrar or Paying Agent or change the location of any such office or agency without
notice to any Holder. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such replacement or change in
location. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to
appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any Subsidiary incorporated or organized
within the United States of America may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

 

The Company initially
appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent.

 

SECTION 2.07                     
Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree
in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent
for the payment of principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by
the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held
by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Company at any
time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying
Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

 

SECTION 2.08                     
Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available
to it of the names and addresses of Holders of Securities. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request
in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders
of the Securities.

 

SECTION 2.09                     
Transfer and Exchange. The Securities shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration
of transfer. When a Security is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register
the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and any reasonable regulations prescribed by the Company or the
Registrar are met. When Securities (other than Global Securities) are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them
for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same
requirements are met.

 

To permit registrations
of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate at the Registrar’s request one or
more new Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.

 

No service charge shall
be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer
tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments
or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange not involving any transfer pursuant to Section 3.07).

 

    -37-

     

    

 

The Registrar shall not
be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Security for a period beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing
of a notice of redemption or of an offer to repurchase Securities and ending at the close of business on the date of such mailing,
or for a period beginning 15 Business Days before an interest payment date and ending on the close of business on such interest
payment date, or of any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being
redeemed in part.

 

Prior to the due presentation
for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name
a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, and any premium
and interest on, such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the
Company, the Trustee or any Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

All Securities issued
upon any registration of transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

The Trustee shall have
no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture
or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among
Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and
other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this
Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

 

SECTION 2.10                     
Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims
that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement
Security if the Holder satisfies the reasonable requirements of the Company and the Trustee. If required by the Company or the
Trustee, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond or other security sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee
to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security
is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security.

 

Every replacement Security
is an additional obligation of the Company.

 

SECTION 2.11                     
Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except
for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except
to the extent provided in the last paragraph of this Section 2.11, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

 

If a Security is replaced
pursuant to Section 2.10, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them
that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

 

    -38-

     

    

 

If the Paying Agent holds
on a redemption date or the Maturity Date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect
to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Securities
(or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

 

If the principal amount
of any Security is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

 

Securities with respect
to which the Company has effected legal defeasance or covenant defeasance as provided in Article Eight cease to be outstanding
except to the extent provided in Sections 8.03 and 8.04.

 

In determining whether
the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate
of the Company or of such other obligor 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
Securities which a Responsible Officer actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned as described
in the immediately preceding sentence 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 Securities and that the pledgee is
not the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.

 

SECTION 2.12                     
Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee
shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may
have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities.

 

SECTION 2.13                     
Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security.

 

(a)               For
all Securities that are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, any such
Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and may provide that it
shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate
amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to
reflect exchanges, transfers or redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or
decrease in the amount, of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee (i) in such manner and
upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in such Security or in a Company Order to be
delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.05 or (ii) otherwise in accordance with written instructions from the
Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in such Global Security. Any such Global
Security shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, shall be
delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and shall bear a
legend substantially to the following effect (or to such effect as may be required by the Depositary):

NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS
SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF.

 

(b)              
Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”), and any owner of a beneficial interest
in a Global Security, shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to or under such Global Security, and the Company,
the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depositary or its nominee as the absolute
owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company,
the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization
furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of
such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Security.

 

(c)               Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be transferred to, or registered or exchanged for Securities
registered in the name of, any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee thereof, and no such
transfer may be registered, except as provided in this Section 2.13(c). Every Security authenticated and
delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security shall be a Global Security,
except as provided in this Section 2.13(c). If (1) (A) the Depositary for a Global Security notifies the Company that
it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or ceases to be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act, and (B) a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (2) an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities and the Registrar has received a request from the
Depositary to issue certificated securities (“Certificated Securities”) in lieu of all or a portion of the
Global Securities (in which case the Company shall deliver Certificated Securities within 30 days of such request) or (3) the
Company determines in its sole discretion and notifies the Trustee that Securities issued in global form shall no longer be
represented by a Global Security, then such Global Security may be exchanged by such Depositary for Certificated Securities
of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, registered in the names of, and the
transfer of such Global Security or portion thereof may be registered to, such Persons as such Depositary shall direct, in
each case, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Appendix.

 

    -40-

     

    

 

(d)              
Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Security,
or interest therein, Agent Member or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee
or of any Agent Member, with respect to any ownership interest in Global Securities or with respect to the delivery to any Agent
Member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the
payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Securities. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay
by the related Holder of the Global Security or the Depositary in identifying the beneficial owners, and each such Person may conclusively
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, instructions from such Global Security Holder or the Depositary for all purposes
(including with respect to the registration and delivery and the respective principal amounts, of the Securities to be issued).

 

(e)              
Neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken

SECTION 2.14                     
Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the
Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.
The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all
Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in its customary manner and upon written
request shall deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company. Any Securities purchased by the Company may, to the extent
permitted by law, be reissued or resold or may, at its option, be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company may
not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, except as expressly permitted
by the terms of the Securities.

 

SECTION 2.15                      Defaulted
Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay defaulted interest
(plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the rate borne by the Securities in any lawful manner. In
the event that the Company is required to pay defaulted interest to Holders, the Company will provide written notice to
the Trustee of its obligation to pay such defaulted interest no later than five days prior to the proposed payment date for
the defaulted interest, and such notice shall set forth the amount of defaulted interest to be paid by the Company on such
payment date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the defaulted
interest, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of defaulted interest owed, or with respect to
the method employed in such calculation of the defaulted interest. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the persons
who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date
and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder a
notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.16                     
CUSIP Numbers and ISINs. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers and/or “ISINs”
(if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers and/or ISINs in notices of redemption or repurchase
as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as
to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption or repurchase
and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall
not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change
in the CUSIP numbers and/or ISINs.

At any time on or after January 1, 2022, the Company may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at its option, at the

prior to the redemption date, deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the Adjusted Treasury Rate and
the Make-Whole Premium and showing the calculation of each in reasonable detail.

 

SECTION 3.02                     
Notice to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem all or any part of the Securities pursuant to the applicable provisions
of this Article 3 and the Securities, it shall furnish to the Trustee and the Registrar, at least 30 days but not more than 75
days before the redemption date (unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period), an Officers’ Certificate setting forth
the redemption date, the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the redemption price (or the manner of calculation thereof)
for Securities to be redeemed, except that such Officers’ Certificate may be given more than 75 days before the applicable
redemption date if such notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge with
respect to the Securities in accordance with this Indenture.

 

SECTION 3.03                     
Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee
shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed on a pro rata basis or by lot, in each case, in accordance with the procedures
of the Depositary, or, if the Securities are listed on any securities exchange, by any other method that complies with the requirements
of such exchange; provided, however, that no Securities with a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed
in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption not less than 30
nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. Securities and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $2,000 or
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except that if all of the Securities of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire
outstanding amount of such Securities held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Provisions of this
Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee
shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities selected for redemption.

 

SECTION 3.04                     
Notice of Redemption.

 

(a)              
At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice
of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or send
such notice in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures, except that notice of redemption may be given more
than 60 days before the applicable redemption date if such notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or
a satisfaction and discharge with respect to the Securities in accordance with this Indenture. The notice shall state:

 

    -43-

     

    

 

(1)              
the redemption date;

 

(2)              
the redemption price or, if the redemption price is not then determinable, the manner in which it is to be determined;

 

(3)              
the aggregate principal amount of Securities being redeemed;

 

(4)              
the name and address of the Paying Agent;

 

(5)              
that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent at the address specified in such notice to
collect the redemption price, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;

 

(6)              
that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, accrued interest on Securities called for redemption
ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date and the only remaining right of the Holders is to receive payment of the redemption
price in respect of the Securities upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities;

 

(7)              
if fewer than all of the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities to be
redeemed, and if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and
that, after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, in the case of a Certificated Security, a new Security or Securities
in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the Security
or Securities being redeemed;

 

(8)              
the CUSIP number and/or ISIN, if any, of the Securities to be redeemed;

 

(9)              
any condition precedent to such redemption; and

 

(10)          
the paragraph of the Security and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Securities called for redemption are
being redeemed.

 

(b)              
At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption required in Section 3.04(a)
in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee, at least 15 days prior to the date on which the Company requests that the Trustee give such notice (unless the
Trustee consents to a shorter notice period), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting
forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.04(a).

 

    -44-

     

    

 

(c)               Notice
of any redemption, including, without limitation, upon an Equity Offering, may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject
to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related Equity Offering. The Company may
redeem Securities pursuant to one or more of the relevant provisions in this Indenture, and a single notice of redemption may
be delivered with respect to the redemptions made pursuant to different provisions hereof. In addition, if such redemption is
subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s
discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such
redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been
satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice
that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may
be performed by another Person.

 

SECTION 3.05                     
Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.04, subject
to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent set forth in such notice, Securities called for redemption become due and payable
on the redemption date at the redemption price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption
price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date; provided, however, that installments
of interest that are due and payable on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, registered
as such, at the close of business on the relevant record date for the payment of such installment of interest. Failure to give
notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

 

SECTION 3.06                     
Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit
with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) funds available
on the redemption date sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption
date on, the Securities to be redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money so deposited
which is not required for that purpose upon the written request of the Company, except with respect to monies owed as obligations
to the Trustee pursuant to Article Seven.

 

Unless the Company defaults
in making such payment, interest on the Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the applicable redemption date, whether
or not such Securities are presented for payment. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon redemption because
of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest will continue to be payable on the unpaid principal
and any premium including from the redemption date until such principal and any premium is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on
any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities and in Section 4.01
hereof.

 

SECTION 3.07                     
Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is to be redeemed in part, in the case of a Certificated
Security, the Company shall issue and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate for the Holder, at the expense
of the Company, a new Security equal in aggregate amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

 

SECTION 3.08                     
No Mandatory Redemption or Sinking Fund.

 

(a)       Except
as set forth in Section 3.08(b), the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund
payments with respect to the Securities, nor (except pursuant to Section 4.11, Section 4.12 and Section 4.13)
shall the Company be required to repurchase the Securities at the option of the Holders.

 

    -45-

     

    

 

(b) If the Securities
would otherwise constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” (“AHYDOs”) within the meaning
of Section 163(i)(1) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), at the end of all accrual
periods ending after the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date (each, an “AHYDO Payment Date”), but not including
the final accrual period, the Company will make pro-rata cash payments to all Holders of the Securities then outstanding in an
amount equal to the Mandatory Principal Payment Amount (each such payment, a “Mandatory Principal Payment”).
The “Mandatory Principal Payment Amount” means the portion of the Securities’ principal required to be
paid as of each AHYDO Payment Date to prevent the Securities from being treated as an AHYDO within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1)
of the Code. No partial payments, redemptions or repurchases of the Securities prior to an AHYDO Payment Date pursuant to any other
provision of this Indenture or the Securities will alter the Company’s obligation to make the Mandatory Principal Payment
with respect to the Securities that remain outstanding on an AHYDO Payment Date. Solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any
Mandatory Principal Payment shall be treated as a payment of accrued original issue discount that constitutes interest for purposes
of Section 163(i)(2) of the Code. Any Mandatory Principal Payment paid with respect to Global Securities will be processed as a
“partial redemption” through the Depositary, in accordance with its rules and procedures as a “Pro Rata Pass-Through
Distribution of Principal.” Any Mandatory Principal Payment shall otherwise be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections
3.02 through 3.07.

or reports are filed or furnished via EDGAR; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation
whatsoever to determine whether or not such information, documents or reports have been filed pursuant to the EDGAR system
(or its successor). Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and
the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

(b)       At
any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall, so long as any of the Securities

of such Securities the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate

or beneficial owner to sell such Securities in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended
from time to time.

Compliance Certificates.

 

(a)              
The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers’

signing such certificate, that, to the best of such Officers’ knowledge, each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors
has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance
or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred,
describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which such Officers may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking
or proposes to take with respect thereto).

 

(b)              
The Company will, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee within 30 days after any Officer
becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default or default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained
in this Indenture, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company proposes
to take with respect thereto.

 

SECTION 4.04                      Maintenance
of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment an office or agency where Securities may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment, and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company
shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 13.02
or at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

 

    -47-

     

    

 

The Company may also
from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any
or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, that no such designation or rescission
shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for such purposes.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location
of any such other office or agency. The Company hereby initially designates as the Place of Payment for the Securities The City

agency for each such purpose in such city.

 

SECTION 4.05                     
Continued Existence. Except as permitted by Article Five and Section 10.03 hereof, the Company will
do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate,
partnership or other existence of each Restricted Subsidiary and all rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Company
and the Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, that the Company shall not be required to preserve the corporate, partnership
or other existence of any Restricted Subsidiary, or any such right or franchise, if the Company shall determine that the preservation
thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

 

SECTION 4.06                     
Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants (to the extent that
each may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit
or advantage of, any stay, extension, or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor
from paying all or any portion of the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 

SECTION 4.07                      Payment
of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall
become delinquent, (a) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and (b) all lawful claims for
labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause
to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment or charge whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders.

The Company shall cause all properties used or held for use in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted
Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and supplied
with all necessary equipment and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements
thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be
properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.08 shall
prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any such property, or disposing of it, if such discontinuance
or disposal is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business and not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders.

 

(b)              
The Company shall provide or cause to be provided, for itself and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including
appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds that, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the Company, are
adequate and appropriate for the conduct of the business of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries in a prudent manner, with
reputable insurers or with the government of the United States or an agency or instrumentality thereof, in such amounts, with such
deductibles, and by such methods as shall be customary, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the Company, for corporations
similarly situated in the industry.

 

SECTION 4.09                     
Limitation on Restricted Payments.

 

(a)              
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make a Restricted Payment,

fiscal quarter in which the Issue Date occurs to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial statements
of the Company and the Subsidiaries have been made available pursuant to Section 4.02(a) immediately preceding the date

a Subsidiary or an employee stock ownership plan or to a trust established by the Company or any Subsidiary for the benefit of
their employees) or a substantially concurrent capital cash contribution received by the Company from its stockholders; provided,
however, that (x) such Restricted Payment shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments
and (y) the Net Cash Proceeds from such sale or such capital cash contribution (to the extent so used for such Restricted
Payment) shall be excluded from the calculation of amounts under clause (2)(B) of Section 4.09(a);

 

(2)

Subsidiary made by exchange for, or out of the Net Cash Proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Disqualified Stock
of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, so long as such refinancing Disqualified Stock constitutes
Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other
acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

terms of any equity option or equity appreciation rights plan, any management, director and/or employee equity ownership, benefit
or incentive plan or agreement, equity subscription plan, employment termination agreement or any other employment agreements or
equity holders’ agreement does not exceed $50,000,000; and (B) the payment of withholding or similar Taxes payable or expected
to be payable by any present or former employee, director, manager or consultant (or their respective Affiliates, estates or immediate
family members) and any repurchases of Capital Stock in consideration of such payments including deemed repurchases in connection
with the exercise of stock options so long as the amount of such payments does not exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate; provided,
however, that payments of the amounts referred to in the preceding clauses (A) and (B) shall be excluded in the calculation
of the amount of Restricted Payments;

 

(7)               the
purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Obligation or
any Specified Junior Indebtedness at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Subordinated

such repurchases shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

 

(10)          
other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount, taken together with all other Restricted Payments made pursuant to this
clause (10), not to exceed $100,000,000; provided, however, that at the time of such Restricted Payment, no
Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom); provided, further, however, that such
Restricted Payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

Restricted Payments; and

 

(12)

SECTION 4.10                     
Limitation on Liens Securing Funded Debt.

 

(a)              
The Company (i) will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur or assume any Funded Debt secured
by any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of the properties of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) will
not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create, incur or assume any Funded Debt secured by any Liens (other than Permitted
Liens) upon the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary or the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary that owns, directly or indirectly
through ownership in another Subsidiary, the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary.

 

(b)              
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.10(a), the Company or any Subsidiary may create, incur or assume Funded
Debt secured by Parity Liens (including the Securities) or Junior Liens which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions of
such Section, if the aggregate principal amount of such Funded Debt and all other then-outstanding Funded Debt of the Company and
any Subsidiary theretofore created, incurred or assumed pursuant to the exception in this Section 4.10(b) does not exceed
$2,500,000,000, less, without duplication, the aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding at such time.

 

SECTION 4.11                     
Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions.

 

(a)              
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction
with any Person (other than the Company or any other Subsidiary) unless (i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case
may be, would be entitled to incur Funded Debt secured by Liens in a principal amount equal to the Attributable Indebtedness (treated
as if such Attributable Indebtedness were Funded Debt) with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction in accordance with Section
4.10, provided, that Attributable Indebtedness in respect of any Sale/Leaseback Transaction entered into pursuant to this clause
(i) shall be treated as Funded Debt for purposes of Section 4.10; or (ii) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives
proceeds from such Sale/Leaseback Transaction at least equal to the Fair Market Value thereof and such proceeds are applied in
accordance with paragraphs (b) to (c) hereof (or, in the case of a Sale/Leaseback Transaction of any Collateral, such proceeds
are applied in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.12 (treating such Sale/Leaseback Transaction of such
Collateral as a Collateral Sale and the Net Available Proceeds attributable thereto as Net Cash Proceeds for such purposes)).

 

(b)              
The Company may apply Net Available Proceeds from such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (other than the Net Available Proceeds
attributable to a Sale/Leaseback Transaction of any Collateral), within 365 days after receipt of Net Available Proceeds from the
Sale/Leaseback Transaction, to: (i) the repayment of Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor under Credit Facilities
or other Senior Indebtedness, including any mandatory redemption or repurchase or make-whole redemption of the Existing Unsecured
Notes or the Securities; (ii) make an Investment in assets used or useful in the Oil and Gas Business (including Capital Stock
of Persons engaged in the Oil and Gas Business); or (iii) develop by drilling the Company’s oil and gas reserves.

 

    -53-

     

    

 

(c)               If,
upon completion of the 365-day period referred to in Section 4.11(b), any portion of the Net Available Proceeds (other
than Net Available Proceeds of a Sale/Leaseback Transaction of any Collateral, with such Net Available Proceeds to be
considered Net Cash Proceeds for such purpose) shall not have been applied by the Company as described in clauses (i), (ii)
or (iii) of Section 4.11(b) and such remaining Net Available Proceeds, together with any remaining net cash proceeds
from any prior Sale/Leaseback Transaction (such aggregate constituting “Excess Proceeds”), exceed
$60,000,000, then the Company will be obligated to make an offer (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) to purchase
the Securities and any other Senior Indebtedness in respect of which such an offer to purchase is required to be made
concurrently with the Net Proceeds Offer having an aggregate principal amount equal to the Excess Proceeds (such purchase to
be made on a pro rata basis if the amount available for such repurchase is less than the principal amount of the Securities
and other Senior Indebtedness tendered in such Net Proceeds Offer) at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities and other Senior Indebtedness so repurchased to the date of
repurchase; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to
commence any Net Proceeds Offer if, as of the date of the most recent Reserve Report delivered (or required to be delivered)
on or prior to the date such Net Proceeds Offer would otherwise be required to be made, the PV-10 Collateral Coverage Ratio
equals or exceeds 1.50 to 1.00 (it being understood that the Company shall be required to deliver to the Trustee a
calculation of such ratio as of the applicable calculation date in a form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee). Upon the
completion of the Net Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

 

(d)              
Within 15 days after the Company becomes obligated to make a Net Proceeds Offer (a “Net Proceeds Offer Triggering
Event”), the Company (with notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent), or the Trustee at the Company’s request
and expense, will mail or cause to be mailed (or otherwise communicate in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary)
to all Holders on the date of the Net Proceeds Offer Triggering Event a notice prepared by the Company (the “Offer Notice”)
of the occurrence of such Net Proceeds Offer Triggering Event and of the Holders’ rights arising as a result thereof. The
Offer Notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable Holders to tender their Securities to the Company.
The Offer Notice, which shall govern the terms of the Net Proceeds Offer, shall state: (1) that the Net Proceeds Offer is being
made pursuant to this Section 4.11; (2) the purchase price and the Net Proceeds Payment Date; (3) that any Security not
tendered will continue to accrue interest at the stated rate; (4) that any Security accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds
Offer shall cease to accrue interest on the Net Proceeds Payment Date; (5) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election
if the Company, Depositary or Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Net Proceeds Offer,
or such longer period as may be required by law, a notice to such effect in the form specified in the Offer Notice; and (6) that
Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part will be issued Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion
of the Securities surrendered. The Net Proceeds Offer shall be deemed to have commenced upon mailing (or other communication in
accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) of the Offer Notice and shall terminate 20 Business Days after its
commencement, unless a longer offering period is required by law.

 

(e)              
Promptly after the termination of the Net Proceeds Offer (the “Net Proceeds Payment Date”), the Company
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) accept for payment Securities or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the
Net Proceeds Offer, (ii) deposit with the Depositary or Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Securities or portions thereof so tendered
and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Securities so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the Securities or
portions thereof tendered to the Company. The Depositary, the Company or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly mail
or deliver to the Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price (representing those funds
received pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 4.11(e)), and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver
to each such Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered; provided
that each such new Security will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. For purposes
of this Section 4.11, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent.

 

    -54-

     

    

 

 

(f)               
The Company will comply with Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the provisions of Regulation 14E and any other tender offer
rules under the Exchange Act and any other federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations which may then be applicable
to any Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Net Proceeds
Offer procedures included in this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will
be deemed to have complied with its obligations under the Net Proceeds Offer provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

 

(g)              
The provisions under this Section 4.11 relative to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase
the Securities as a result of a Sale/Leaseback Transaction may be waived or modified at any time with the written consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities.

 

SECTION 4.12                     
Limitation on Collateral Sales.

 

(a)              
The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, consummate a Collateral Sale, unless:

 

(1)              
the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor receives consideration at the time of such Collateral Sale at least equal to the
Fair Market Value of the Collateral sold or otherwise disposed of (whether directly or indirectly through the sale or disposition
of a Subsidiary Guarantor); and

 

(2)              
at least 75% of the consideration received by the Obligors (determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Collateral
Sale) and all other Collateral Sales since the Issue Date, on a cumulative basis, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided
that the following shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this clause (2) and for no other purpose:

 

(A)             any
liabilities (as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto or if
incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities as would have been reflected in the
Company’s consolidated balance sheet or the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had been put in place on or
prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in good faith by the Company), other than contingent liabilities or
liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Securities or the Guarantee, which (i) are assumed by the transferee
of any such assets and from which the applicable Obligor shall have been validly released by all applicable creditors in
writing or (ii) that are otherwise cancelled or terminated in connection with the transaction with such transferee (other
than intercompany debt owed to the Company or the Subsidiaries);

 

    -55-

     

    

 

(B)             
any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by an Obligor from such transferee that are converted by an
Obligor into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing
of such Collateral Sale;

 

(C)             
with respect to any Collateral Sale of Oil and Gas Properties by any Obligor in which such Obligor retains an interest in
such property (whether directly or indirectly through retentions of any Capital Stock in any Person owning such property), the
costs and expenses related to the exploration, development, completion or production of such Oil and Gas Properties and activities
related thereto agreed to be assumed by the transferee (or an Affiliate thereof);

 

(D)            
Indebtedness of any Subsidiary Guarantor that ceases to be a Subsidiary Guarantor as a result of such asset disposition
(other than intercompany debt owed to the Company or the Subsidiaries), to the extent that the Company and each other Subsidiary
Guarantor are released from any guarantee of payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Collateral
Sale; and

 

(E)             
any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by any Obligor in respect of the applicable Collateral Sale having an aggregate
Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (E) at any
time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $500,000,000 and (y) 5% of ACNTA determined as of the time of the receipt of
such Designated Non-Cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured
at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

 

(b)              
Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Collateral Sale, any Obligor may apply such Net Cash
Proceeds at its option:

 

(1)              
to permanently prepay, repay, redeem, defease or repurchase Priority Lien Debt and other outstanding Priority Lien Obligations;

 

(2)               to
permanently prepay, repay, redeem, defease or repurchase Parity Lien Debt and other outstanding Parity Lien Obligations other
than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Subsidiary; provided that if the Company shall so prepay,
repay, redeem, defease or repurchase any such Parity Lien Debt, the Company shall equally and ratably repay (or offer to
repay) the Securities as provided either, at the Company’s option, under Section 3.01, through open-market
purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.12 for a Collateral Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase
their Securities at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the
amount of Securities that would otherwise be prepaid;

 

    -56-

     

    

 

(3)              
to (A) repurchase, prepay or redeem Indebtedness with a stated maturity date prior to the Maturity Date; or (B) repay borrowings
under the Priority Lien Credit Agreement if either (x) required in connection with a reduction of the “Borrowing Base”
(as defined therein) thereunder or (y) accompanied by a reduction in commitments thereunder in the same amount;

 

(4)              
to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a division or line of business of, any Person engaged in an Oil
and Gas Business, or any Capital Stock of any Person engaged in an Oil and Gas Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition
of Capital Stock, such Person is or becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor;

 

(5)              
to make capital expenditures or to make other expenditures for leasehold or seismic purposes, or for maintenance, repair
or improvement of existing properties and assets;

 

(6)              
to acquire other assets that are used or useful in an Oil and Gas Business, including Oil and Gas Properties; or

 

(7)              
any combination of the foregoing;

 

provided that
in the case of clauses (4), (5) and (6) above (or combination thereof), a binding commitment to make such acquisitions or expenditures
is entered into within 365 days of the consummation of the Collateral Sale that generated the Net Cash Proceeds shall be treated
as a permitted application of the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as an Obligor enters into such commitment
with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 545 days after the
consummation of the Collateral Sale that generated such Net Cash Proceeds and, in the event such commitment is later cancelled
or terminated for any reason before the Net Cash Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall
constitute Excess Collateral Proceeds as described herein as of the date of such cancellation or termination.

 

(c)               Any
Net Cash Proceeds from Collateral Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.12(b)
will constitute “Excess Collateral Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds
exceeds $60,000,000, the Company will, within 45 days, make an offer to all Holders, and, if required by the terms of other
Parity Lien Debt containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Section 4.12 with respect to offers to
purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to all holders of such other similar Parity Lien Debt (a
“Collateral Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Securities and/or such Parity Lien
Debt that may be purchased out of the Excess Collateral Proceeds; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Company shall not be required to commence any Collateral Sale Offer if, as of the date of the most recent
Reserve Report delivered (or required to be delivered) on or prior to the date such Collateral Sale Offer would otherwise be
required to be made, the PV-10 Collateral Coverage Ratio equals or exceeds 1.50 to 1.00 (it being understood that the Company
shall be required to deliver to the Trustee a calculation of such ratio as of the applicable calculation date in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee). The offer price in any Collateral Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash.

 

    -57-

     

    

 

(d)              
The Company shall commence a Collateral Sale Offer by mailing (with notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent), or the
Trustee at the Company’s request and expense, mailing or causing to be mailed (or otherwise communicating in accordance with
the applicable procedures of the Depositary) to all Holders, a notice prepared by the Company of the Collateral Sale Offer and
of the Holders’ rights arising as a result thereof. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable
Holders to tender their Securities to the Company. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Collateral Sale Offer, shall
state: (1) that the Collateral Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.12; (2) the purchase price and the payment
date; (3) that any Security not tendered will continue to accrue interest at the stated rate; (4) that any Security accepted for
payment pursuant to the Collateral Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest on the payment date; (5) that Holders will be entitled
to withdraw their election if the Company, Depositary or Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration
of the Collateral Sale Offer, or such longer period as may be required by law, a notice to such effect in the form specified in
the Collateral Sale Offer; and (6) that Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part will be issued Securities equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered. The Collateral Sale Offer shall be deemed to have commenced
upon mailing (or other communication in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) of the notice and shall terminate
20 Business Days after its commencement, unless a longer offering period is required by law. If the aggregate principal amount
of Securities and other Parity Lien Debt tendered into such Collateral Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds,
the Excess Collateral Proceeds will be allocated between the Securities and such other Parity Lien Debt based on the principal
amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of the Securities and such other Parity Lien Debt tendered and the Trustee will select
the Securities to be purchased in the manner described in Section 4.12(g). Upon completion of each Collateral Sale Offer,
the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds will be reset at zero.

 

(e)              
Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.12, the holder of such Net Cash
Proceeds may apply such Net Cash Proceeds temporarily to reduce obligations under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest
such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by the Indenture. If any Excess Collateral Proceeds remain after consummation
of the Collateral Sale Offer, the Company may use those funds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture and they
will no longer constitute Excess Collateral Proceeds.

 

(f)                The
Company will comply with Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the provisions of Regulation 14E and any other tender offer rules
under the Exchange Act and any other federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations which may then be applicable to
any Collateral Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
Collateral Sale Offer procedures included in the Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under the Collateral Sale provisions of the Indenture by
virtue of such compliance.

 

    -58-

     

    

 

(g)              
If the aggregate principal amount of Securities and Parity Lien Debt validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant
to a Collateral Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Securities and the Company
shall select such Parity Lien Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate accreted value or principal
amount of tendered Securities and Parity Lien Debt (provided that the selection of such Parity Lien Debt shall be made pursuant
to the terms of such Parity Lien Debt) and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements and applicable procedures
of the Depositary.

 

(h)              
The provisions under this Section 4.12 relative to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase
the Securities as a result of a Collateral Sale may be waived or modified at any time with the written consent of the Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Securities.

 

SECTION 4.13                     
Change of Control.

 

(a)              
Upon the occurrence of a “Change of Control”, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company repurchase
such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest
on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the terms contemplated in Section 4.13(b).

 

(b)              
Unless the Company has previously mailed (or otherwise sent in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary)
a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.04(a) with respect to all of the outstanding Securities or the Company has
previously made a Change of Control Offer in connection with such Change of Control, within 30 days following a Change of Control,
the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed (or otherwise communicate in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary)
a notice to each Holder (each, a “Change of Control Offer”) with a copy to the Trustee stating:

 

(1)              
that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s
Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant
interest payment date);

 

(2)

The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the provisions of Regulation
14E and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act and any other federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations
which may then be applicable in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 4.13. To the extent
that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.13, the Company

this Section 4.13 by virtue of such compliance.

the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness the maturity of which has been so accelerated, in the aggregate, or (B) such
default results from the failure to pay when due principal of any such Indebtedness, after giving effect to any applicable grace
period (a “Payment Default”), having a principal amount of $75,000,000 or more individually or, taken together
with the principal amount of any other Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default, in the aggregate; provided
that if any such default is cured or waived or any such acceleration is rescinded, or such Indebtedness is repaid, within a period
of 30 days from the continuation of such default beyond any applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as
the case may be, such Event of Default and any consequent acceleration of the Securities shall be rescinded, so long as any such
rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree or applicable provision of law;

 

    -62-

     

    

 

(4)              
default in the performance, or breach of, any covenant or agreement of any Obligor in the Indenture (other than a failure
to purchase or repurchase the Securities when required under Section 4.11, Section 4.12 or Section 4.13, which,
in each case, shall constitute an Event of Default under clause (1) above) and, in each such case, failure to remedy such default
within a period of 60 days after written notice thereof from the Trustee or Holders of 25% of the principal amount of the Securities;
provided, however, that the Company shall have 90 days after the receipt of such written notice to remedy, or receive
a waiver for, any failure to comply with its obligations under this Indenture so long as the Company is attempting to cure such
failure as promptly as reasonably practicable;

 

(5)              
a Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall cease to be in full force and effect (other than a release of a Guarantee in

(8)              
the occurrence of any of the following:

 

(A)            
except as permitted by the Note Documents, any Note Document establishing the Parity Liens ceases for any reason to be enforceable;
provided that it will not be an Event of Default under this clause 8(A) if the sole result of the failure of one or more
Note Documents to be fully enforceable is that any Parity Lien purported to be granted under such Note Documents on Collateral,
individually or in the aggregate, having a Fair Market Value of not more than $50,000,000, ceases to be an enforceable and perfected
Parity Lien; provided further, that if such failure is susceptible to cure, no Event of Default shall arise with respect
thereto until 90 days after any officer of any Obligor becomes aware of such failure, which failure has not been cured during such
time period;

 

(B)             
except as permitted by the Note Documents, any Parity Lien purported to be granted under any Note Document on Collateral,
individually or in the aggregate, having a Fair Market Value in excess of $50,000,000, ceases to be an enforceable and perfected
second-priority Lien, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Permitted Liens; provided that if such failure is susceptible
to cure, no Event of Default shall arise with respect thereto until 90 days after any officer of any Obligor becomes aware of such
failure, which failure has not been cured during such time period; or

 

(C)             
any Obligor, or any Person acting on behalf of any of them, denies or disaffirms, in writing, any obligations of any Obligor
set forth in or arising under any Note Document establishing Parity Liens.

 

The term “Bankruptcy
Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian”
means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

SECTION 6.02                     
Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (6) or (7)) under Section
6.01 occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% of the principal
amount of the outstanding Securities may declare the unpaid principal of, and any premium and accrued and unpaid interest on, all
the Securities then outstanding to be due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee, if given by Holders),
and upon any such declaration such principal, and any premium and accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and
payable. If an Event of Default specified in clauses (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 above occurs, all unpaid principal of, and
any premium and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Securities then outstanding will become due and payable, without any declaration
or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

 

    -64-

     

    

 

The Holders of a
majority of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors
and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration and its consequences if (1) the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor has paid or deposited with such Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue installments of interest
on all the Securities, (B) the principal of, and any premium and interest on, any Securities that have become due otherwise
than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Securities, (C)
to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on the defaulted interest at the rate or rates prescribed
therefor in the Securities, and (D) all money paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; (2) all Events of Default, other than the
non-payment of the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Securities that have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture; and (3) the rescission would not
conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. No such rescission will affect any subsequent
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

SECTION 6.03                     
Other Remedies. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may, but is not obligated to, pursue, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at
law or in equity to collect the payment of principal or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision
of the Securities or this Indenture. If an Event of Default specified under clauses (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 occurs with
respect to the Company at a time when the Company is the Paying Agent, the Trustee shall assume the duties of Paying Agent.

 

The Trustee may maintain
a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission
by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available
remedies are cumulative.

 

SECTION 6.04                     
Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of at least a majority of the
principal amount of the outstanding Securities by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences, except an Event of Default under clauses (1) and (2) of Section 6.01.

 

SECTION 6.05                     
Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities will have the right
to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust
or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities, provided that (1) such direction is not in conflict with
any rule of law or with this Indenture and (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by such Trustee that is not
inconsistent with such direction.

 

SECTION 6.06                     
Limitation on Remedies. No Holder of any of the Securities will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial
or otherwise, to appoint a receiver or trustee or to pursue any remedy under this Indenture, unless:

 

(1)              
such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default,

 

    -65-

     

    

 

(2)              
the Holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities have made written request to such
Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under this Indenture,

 

(3)              
such Holder or Holders have offered to such Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request,

 

(4)              
the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity or security has failed to institute
any proceeding, and

 

(5)              
no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders
of a majority of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities.

 

A Holder may not use
this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over other Holders.

 

SECTION 6.07                     
Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

 

(a)              
Subject to Section 6.07(b) and notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture other than Section 6.07(b),
the Holder of any Securities will have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and
interest on such Securities on the due date and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right may not
be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

(b)              
Notwithstanding Section 6.07(a) and for the avoidance of doubt, no amendment to, or deletion or waiver of any of,
the covenants set forth in this Indenture or any action taken by any Obligor not prohibited by this Indenture (in each case other
than with respect to actions set forth in Section 9.02 that require the consent of each Holder of any outstanding Security
affected) shall be deemed to impair or affect any rights of any Holder to receive such payment.

 

SECTION 6.08                     
Collection Suit by Trustee. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default in payment of principal
or any premium or interest specified in paragraphs (1) or (2) 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 Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor for the whole
amount of principal and any premium and interest then due and remaining unpaid with respect to the Securities, and interest on
overdue principal and any premium, and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest, and such further amounts as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel.

 

SECTION 6.09                     
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

 

(a)               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 and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantors, their creditors or their property and may collect and receive any money or securities or other property payable
or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

 

    -66-

     

    

 

(b)              
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf
of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities 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. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement, if the Trustee collects any
money pursuant to this Article Six with respect to the Securities, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

 

First: to the Trustee,
the Collateral Trustee and their agents for amounts due under Section 7.07;

 

Second: to Holders for
amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal, interest and premium, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of
any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal, interest and premium, if any, respectively;
and

 

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

 

The Trustee may fix a
record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

 

SECTION 6.11                     
Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party
litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits
and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee,
a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities.

SECTION 7.01                     
Duties of Trustee.

 

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

 

(b)              
Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

 

    -67-

     

    

 

(1)              
The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth (or incorporated by reference) in this Indenture
and no others and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.

 

(2)              
In the absence of gross negligence on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of certificates or opinions specifically required by any provision hereof
to be furnished to it, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated
therein).

 

(c)              
The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own
willful misconduct, except that:

 

(1)              
This paragraph (c) does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01.

 

(2)              
The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved
that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts, as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment
in a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(3)              
The Trustee shall not be liable to Holders of Securities with respect to action it takes or omits to take in good faith
(A) in accordance with a direction received by it from Holders pursuant to Section 6.05, and the Trustee shall be entitled
from time to time to request such a direction or (B) in connection with the exercise by the Trustee of any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee under this Indenture.

 

(d)

provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur liability, financial or
otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.

 

(f)               
The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with
the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

SECTION 7.02                     
Rights of Trustee. Subject to Section 7.01:

 

(a)              
The Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper
or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. 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 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 Company, personally
or by agent or attorney, to the extent reasonably required by such inquiry or investigation at the expense of the Company and shall
incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

 

(b)              
Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate of the Company or an Opinion
of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such
certificate or opinion.

 

(c)              
The Trustee may act through agents or attorneys and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent
appointed with due care.

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 hereunder in good faith
and reliance thereon.

 

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

 

(g)              
The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer 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 Securities and this Indenture.

 

(h)              
The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right
to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent,

SECTION 7.03                     
Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity (including in its capacity as the
Collateral Trustee) may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the
Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

 

SECTION 7.04                     
Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture
or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities or any prospectus,
offering or solicitation documents, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its certificate
of authentication.

 

SECTION 7.05                     
Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer, the
Trustee shall mail to each Holder of Securities pursuant to Section 13.02 a notice of the Default within 90 days after it
occurs. Except in the case of a Default in any payment on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice and shall be protected
in so withholding if and so long as it determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of Securities.

 

SECTION 7.06                     
TIA and Listings. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2) as if such provision were applicable to this
Indenture. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing when the Securities become listed on any national securities exchange
or of any delisting thereof.

 

SECTION 7.07                     
Compensation and Indemnity. Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, agrees to pay
the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon from time to time in writing between the Company
and the Trustee (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of
an express trust). The Company agrees to reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred by it. Such expenses shall include when applicable the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s
agents and counsel.

 

    -70-

     

    

 

The Trustee shall
not be under any obligation to institute any suit, or take any remedial action under this Indenture, or to enter any
appearance or in any way defend any suit in which it may be a defendant, or to take any steps in the execution of the trusts
created hereby or thereby or in the enforcement of any rights and powers under this Indenture, until it shall be indemnified
to its satisfaction against any and all expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance
with any provisions of this Indenture, including compensation for services, costs, expenses, outlays, counsel fees and other
disbursements, and against all liability (including fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee pursuant to the penultimate
paragraph of Section 7.08) determined not to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct. Each of the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees to indemnify the Trustee against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expenses
incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance and administration of the trust and its duties hereunder
as Trustee, Registrar and/or Paying Agent, if any, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the
Company (including with respect to this Section 7.07) and of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by
the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its
powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received
written notice for which it may seek indemnity; however, the failure of the Trustee to promptly notify the Company shall not
limit its right to indemnification. The Company shall defend each such claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense.
The Trustee may retain separate counsel and the Company shall reimburse the Trustee for the reasonable fees and expenses of
such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay for any settlement made without its consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 

Neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be obligated to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability, claim or damage
incurred by the Trustee determined to have been caused by the Trustee’s own negligence or willful misconduct. To secure the
payment obligations of the Company in this Section, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to that of the Holders of the Securities
on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on, or the
redemption price of, particular Securities. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section
7.07 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

 

When the Trustee incurs
expenses or renders services after the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in clauses (6) or (7) of Section 6.01,
the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

The benefits of this
section shall survive termination of this Indenture and resignation or removal of the Trustee.

 

SECTION 7.08                     
Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing.
The Company may remove the Trustee if:

 

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

 

(b)              
the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;

 

(c)              
a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

 

(d)              
the Trustee becomes incapable of acting as Trustee hereunder.

 

    -71-

     

    

 

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

 

A successor Trustee shall
deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors. Immediately
after that and upon payment of its charges hereunder, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to
the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee
shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.
A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder of Securities.

 

If a successor Trustee
does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

If the Trustee fails
to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(a)(5) as if such
provision were applicable to this Indenture.

 

SECTION 7.09                     
Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation or national association, the successor corporation or national association
without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation or national association shall be
otherwise eligible and qualified under this Article and shall notify the Company of its successor hereunder.

 

SECTION 7.10                     
Eligibility; Disqualification. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee that is a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined
capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. No obligor upon
the Securities shall serve as a Trustee.

 

SECTION 7.11                     
Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a) as if such provision
were applicable to this Indenture, excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned
or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein as if such provision were applicable
to this Indenture.

SECTION 8.01                     
[Reserved].

 

    -72-

     

    

 

SECTION 8.02                     
Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced
by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, elect to exercise its rights pursuant to either Section
8.03 or 8.04 with respect to all outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this
Article Eight.

 

SECTION 8.03                     
Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.02 of the option applicable
to this Section 8.03, each Obligor shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding
Securities on the date all conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this
purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Obligors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented
by the outstanding Securities and any Guarantees thereof, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only
for the purposes of Section 8.06 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section
8.03, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture and the other Note Documents
(insofar as related to the Securities and this Indenture) (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive such satisfaction and discharge
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities to receive solely from
the trust fund described in Section 8.06, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal
of, and any premium and interest on, such Securities when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect
to such Securities under Sections 2.06, 2.09, 2.10, 2.12 and 4.04, (c) the rights, powers, trusts,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith (including, but not
limited to, Section 7.07) and (d) this Article Eight. Subject to compliance with this Article Eight,
the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.03 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section
8.04.

 

If the Company exercises
its Legal Defeasance option, the Collateral will be released.

 

SECTION 8.04                      Covenant
Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.02 of the option applicable to this Section
8.04, the Company shall be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12
and 4.13 and Article Five and any covenants contained in the Security Documents (insofar as related to the
Securities and this Indenture) with respect to the outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth
below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities shall thereafter be deemed
not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for
all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities, the Company may
omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of
any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall
not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of
this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section
8.02 of the option applicable to this Section 8.04, clauses (3) through (8) of Section 6.01 shall not
constitute Events of Default with regard to such Securities.

 

    -73-

     

    

 

If the Company exercises
its Covenant Defeasance option, the Collateral will be released.

 

SECTION 8.05

as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely
to, the benefit of the Holders of Securities, (a) cash in U.S. Legal Tender in an amount, or (b) U.S. Government Securities which
through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later
than one day before the due date of any payment, cash in U.S. Legal Tender in an amount, or (c) a combination thereof, in such
amounts, as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay the principal of, and any premium and
interest on, the outstanding Securities on each date on which such principal or any premium or interest is due and payable or on
any redemption date established pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.06; provided that, upon any redemption
that requires the payment of a make-whole or other premium, (x) the amount of cash in U.S. Legal Tender, U.S. Government Securities
or combination thereof that must be deposited will be determined using an assumed applicable premium calculated as of the date
of such deposit and (y) the Company will deposit any deficit in trust on or prior to the redemption date as necessary to pay
the applicable premium as determined by such date; provided further, that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed
to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Securities to said payments with respect to the Securities;

case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities will not
recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal
income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had
not occurred;

 

(c)              
In the case of an election under Section 8.04, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the Holders of the outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain
or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the
same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

 

    -74-

     

    

 

(d)              
No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as clauses
(6) or (7) of Section 6.01 is concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit
(it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);

 

(e)              
Such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under
any material agreement other than this Indenture (this Indenture being the subject of clause (d) above), or instrument to which
the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;

 

(f)               
In the case of any election under Section 8.03 or 8.04, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit made by the Company pursuant to its election under Section 8.03 or
8.04 was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over other creditors of the Company or with the
intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and

 

(g)              
The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
all conditions precedent provided for relating to either the Legal Defeasance under Section 8.03 or the Covenant Defeasance
under Section 8.04 (as the case may be) have been complied with as contemplated by this Section 8.05.

 

SECTION 8.06                     
Deposited Money and U.S. Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section
8.07, all money and U.S. Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.06, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.05 shall
be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, acting as Paying Agent) as
the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of the Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and
any premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

The Company shall pay
and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Securities
deposited pursuant to Section 8.05 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 Securities.

 

Anything in this Article
Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the Company’s
written request any money or U.S. Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.05 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 8.05(b)), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required
to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

    -75-

     

    

 

Before or after the deposit
pursuant to Section 8.05(a), the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities
at a future date pursuant to Article Three.

 

SECTION 8.07                     
Repayment to Company. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, whether
pursuant to this Article Eight or otherwise, in trust for the payment of the principal of, and any premium and interest
on, or redemption price on, any Security which has remained unclaimed for two years after such principal and any premium or interest
has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its written request (unless an abandoned property law designates another
Person) or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Securities shall thereafter,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying
Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

 

SECTION 8.08                     
Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Securities
in accordance with Section 8.03 or 8.04, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining, or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture,
the Securities and the other Note Documents (insofar as related to this Indenture and the Securities) shall be revived and reinstated
as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent
is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with this Article Eight; provided, however, that, if the
Company makes any payment of principal of, or any premium or interest on, or redemption price on the Securities following the reinstatement
of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the Securities to receive such payment from
the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. In the event the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities
are revived and reinstated pursuant to this Section 8.08, then the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee,
if any, and this Indenture that were released pursuant to Section 10.05 as a result of the Company’s exercise of its
rights under this Article Eight shall be revived and reinstated as though such release had not occurred.

Upon the written request
of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, accompanied by a Board Resolution of the Company and of each Subsidiary Guarantor
authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section

execution of any supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained.

With Consent of Holders. Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Obligors, the Trustee and the
Collateral Trustee, if applicable, may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities with the consent (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Securities or a solicitation of consents in respect of Securities)
of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.

 

For purposes of this

SECTION 9.03                     
[Reserved].

 

SECTION 9.04                     
Revocation and Effect of Consents. A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder of a Security shall
bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder
may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before
a date and time therefor identified by the Company in a notice furnished to such Holder in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
or, if no such date and time shall be identified, the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

 

    -79-

     

    

 

The Company 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 the Company elects to fix a record date for such purpose, the record date shall be fixed
at (i) the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders
furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.08, or (ii) such other date as the Company
shall designate. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions 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 waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons
continue to be Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record
date unless consent from the Holders of the principal amount of Securities required hereunder for such amendment, supplement
or waiver to be effective also shall have been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.

 

After an amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (9) of
Section 9.02. In that case the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to
it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s
Security.

 

SECTION 9.05                     
Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the
Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the
Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company
in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure
to make appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

 

SECTION 9.06                     
Trustee Protected. The Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized
pursuant to this Article Nine if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee
or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable. If it does adversely affect the rights of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, the
Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, supplement or waiver the
Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject to Article Seven) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate of the Company complying with the requirements of Section 13.05
and stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by and complies with this Indenture.

SECTION 10.02                 
Unconditional Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees,
as principal obligor and not only as surety (such guarantee to be referred to herein, individually and collectively, as the “Guarantee”),
to each Holder the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Securities and all other
amounts due and payable under this Indenture and the Securities by the Company whether at Maturity Date or otherwise, including,
without limitation, interest on the overdue principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Securities, to the extent lawful,

Failing payment when
due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the
same immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of
the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same,
any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment
against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment,
filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first
against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except
by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture and in this Guarantee. If any Holder or
the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company
or any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated
in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to
the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other
hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes
of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

 

SECTION 10.03                 
Subsidiary Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

 

(a)               Subject
to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.03, no Subsidiary Guarantor (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor whose Guarantee is
to be released in accordance with this Indenture) may consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not such
Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person unless (i) the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) (a “Successor Guarantor”) assumes all
the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and the other Note Documents (and takes such action (or
agrees to take such action) as may be reasonably necessary to cause any property or assets that constitute Collateral owned
by or transferred to such Successor Guarantor to continue to constitute Collateral and to be subject to the Parity Liens in
the manner and to the extent required under the Note Documents) pursuant to a supplemental indenture (and similar documents
with respect to the other Note Documents), in each case, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and Collateral
Trustee and (ii) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists. In connection with any
consolidation or merger contemplated by this Section 10.03, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee prior to the
consummation of the proposed transaction an Officers’ Certificate to the foregoing effect and an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the proposed transaction and such supplemental indenture, if any, comply with this Indenture. This Section
10.03(a) is not applicable to a merger between Subsidiary Guarantors or a merger between the Company and a Subsidiary
Guarantor.

(b)              
In the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor or a sale
or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor, in any case by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise,
then such Subsidiary Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of such a merger, consolidation or otherwise,
of all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor) or the Person acquiring the assets (in the event of a sale or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor) will be automatically released and relieved of any obligations
under its Guarantee and the Lien on such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Collateral securing the Parity Lien Obligations (including
such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee) will be released.

 

SECTION 10.04                 
Addition of Subsidiary Guarantors.

 

(a)              
The Company shall cause each Person that becomes a Domestic Subsidiary after the Issue Date and that guarantees any other
Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor in excess of the De Minimis Guaranteed Amount to execute and deliver a supplemental
indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall guarantee the payment of such Securities pursuant to the terms hereof within
60 days after the later of (i) the date that such Person becomes a Domestic Subsidiary and (ii) the date that such Person guarantees
such other Indebtedness; provided that no guarantee shall be required if the Subsidiary merges into the Company or merges
into an existing Subsidiary Guarantor and the surviving entity remains a Subsidiary Guarantor.

 

(b)              
Any Person that was not a Subsidiary Guarantor on the date of this Indenture may become a Subsidiary Guarantor by executing
and delivering to the Trustee (i) a supplemental indenture in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, which subjects
such Person to the provisions of this Indenture as a Subsidiary Guarantor and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate
to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized and executed by such Person and constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of such Person (subject to such customary exceptions concerning creditors’ rights and equitable
principles as may be acceptable to the Trustee in its discretion and provided that no opinion need be rendered concerning
the enforceability of the Guarantee) and complying with the requirements of Section 13.05.

 

SECTION
10.05                  Release
of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Upon (i) the sale or disposition of all the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor (or all or
substantially all of its assets), in any case whether by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise or (ii) subject to
satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 4.01(a)(i) of the Intercreditor Agreement, the cessation by
a Subsidiary Guarantor to guarantee any other Indebtedness of the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor other than the De
Minimis Guaranteed Amount, in each case which is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, including but not
limited to the provisions of Section 10.03, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from all of
its Guarantee and related obligations in this Indenture without any further action by the Trustee, the Company or such
Subsidiary Guarantor and the Lien on such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Collateral securing the Parity Lien Obligations
(including such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee) shall be released. Subject to Section 8.08, upon the
Company’s election, in compliance with the conditions set forth in Article Eight hereof, to exercise its
rights pursuant to either Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to all outstanding Securities, each Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be automatically released from all of its Guarantee and related obligations in this Indenture without any
further action by the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor. The Trustee and the
Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any such release upon receipt of a
written request by the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate. Any Subsidiary Guarantor not so released
remains liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Securities as provided in
this Article Ten.

SECTION 10.06                 
Limitation of Subsidiary Guarantor’s Liability. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each
Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to
its Guarantee does not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any federal, state or foreign law. To effectuate
the foregoing intention, the Holders and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary
Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed
liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to
Section 10.07, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal, state or foreign law. This Section 10.06 is for the benefit of the
creditors of each Subsidiary Guarantor, and, for purposes of applicable fraudulent transfer and fraudulent conveyance law, any
Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Credit Facilities shall be deemed to have been incurred prior to the incurrence
by such Subsidiary Guarantor of its liability under the Guarantee.

 

SECTION 10.07                 
Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Subsidiary
Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Funding
Guarantor”) under the Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary
Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor)
for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by the Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect
to the Securities or any other Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guarantee.

 

SECTION 10.08                 
Severability. In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion of
such provision that is not invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall remain in effect, and the validity, legality, and enforceability
of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

or thereunder (collectively, the “Notes Obligations”), are secured as provided in the Security Documents. Each
Obligor consents and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Security Documents to which it is a party, as the same may be in effect
from time to time, and agrees to perform its obligations thereunder in accordance therewith. Each Obligor hereby agrees that the

Each Holder of Securities, by its acceptance thereof and of the Guarantees, consents and agrees to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for
foreclosure and release of Collateral and amendments to the Security Documents) as the same may be in effect or may be amended

and each Holder of Securities and the Trustee direct the Collateral Trustee to enter into the Security Documents (including any
amendments thereto contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement and any security documents to secure additional
Parity Lien Debt in accordance with Section 5.3 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, all as more particularly described in
the Collateral Trust Agreement) and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith, subject

SECTION 11.02                 
Post-Issue Date Collateral Requirements.

 

(a)               Within
60 days of the Issue Date, the Company shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor to, (i) execute and deliver
to the Priority Lien Agent or its counsel for recordation, on behalf of the Collateral Trustee as mortgagee or
beneficiary, as applicable, such Mortgages, together with satisfactory evidence of the completion (or satisfactory
arrangements for the completion) of all recordings and filings of such Mortgages in the proper recorders’ offices or
appropriate public records (and payment of any taxes or fees in connection therewith) as may be necessary to create a valid,
perfected second-priority Lien (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement), against the Oil and Gas Properties and related
assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors that are subject to Liens securing the Priority Lien Obligations on the
Issue Date, and (ii) on the date that each such Mortgage is so filed or recorded, cause its counsel for the jurisdiction in
which the relevant Oil and Gas Properties and related assets are located to execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee a
favorable Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee.
The Company shall give notice (A) that it has delivered to the Priority Lien Agent or its counsel the Mortgages establishing
the Parity Liens on Oil and Gas Properties required to be subject to a Mortgage in accordance with this Section
11.02(a) and (B) that it has received copies of at least 90% (by number, with each Mortgage to be recorded in a county,
parish or other jurisdiction to be counted as a separate Mortgage) of such Mortgages with markings reflecting their
recordation, in each case, either (x) by notice promptly thereafter to the Trustee with a direction to transmit the same to
the Holders or (y) by disclosure contained in the Company’s next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form
10-K, as the case may be, to be filed.

 

(b)              
Any Security Documents entered into after the Issue Date shall be substantially in the form of the corresponding security
document securing the Priority Liens Obligations, or to the extent there is no such corresponding security document, the corresponding
security documents securing the Priority Lien Obligations in place on the Issue Date, in each case, with such changes as are reasonably
necessary to reflect the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and with such deletions or modifications of representations, warranties
and covenants as are customary with respect to security documents establishing Liens securing publicly traded debt securities,
all as certified to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate of the Company.

 

SECTION 11.03                 
Further Assurances; Liens on Additional Property.

 

(a)              
Each Obligor shall do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required, or that the Collateral Trustee from
time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that the Collateral Trustee holds, for the benefit of the holders of
Parity Lien Obligations, duly created Liens upon the Collateral (including any property or assets constituting Collateral that
are acquired or otherwise become, or are required by any Parity Lien Document to become, Collateral after the Issue Date), in each
case, as contemplated by, and, to the extent required to be perfected, perfected, and enforceable Liens, with the Lien priority
required under, the Parity Lien Documents, and in connection with any merger or consolidation of any Obligor, the property and
assets of the Person which is consolidated or merged with or into such Obligor, to the extent that they are property or assets
of the types which would constitute Collateral under the Security Documents, shall be treated as after-acquired property and such
Obligor shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to cause such property and assets to be made subject to the Parity
Liens, in the manner and to the extent required under the Parity Lien Documents.

 

    -85-

     

    

 

(b)               Upon
the reasonable request of the Collateral Trustee or any Parity Lien Representative at any time and from time to time, each
Obligor shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such Security Documents, instruments, certificates, notices and
other documents, and take such other actions as shall be reasonably required, or that the Collateral Trustee may reasonably
request, to create, perfect, protect, assure or enforce the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred, in each case as
contemplated by the Parity Lien Documents for the benefit of the holders of Parity Lien Obligations; provided, that no
such Security Document, instrument or other document shall contain provisions that are materially more burdensome upon the
Obligors than the Parity Lien Documents executed and delivered (or required to be executed and delivered promptly after the
Issue Date, including pursuant to Section 11.02) by the Obligors in connection with the issuance of the Securities on
the Issue Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Security Documents, and subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not be required to take any action to perfect a
security interest in any Collateral other than (i) to file financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial
Code (or similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created under the Security
Documents, (ii) recordings and filings of Mortgages, as described in Section 11.02(a), (iii) the execution and
delivery of control agreements with respect to deposit accounts, securities accounts and uncertificated securities in the
manner contemplated by the Security Agreement or (iv) the delivery (initially to the Priority Lien Agent, acting as agent for
the Collateral Trustee) of promissory notes and certificated securities accompanied with appropriate endorsements or transfer
powers in the manner contemplated by the Security Agreement.

 

(c)               In
addition, from and after the Issue Date, if any Obligor acquires any property or asset that constitutes collateral for the
Priority Lien Debt or Junior Lien Debt, and any Priority Lien Document or Junior Lien Document, as applicable, requires
any supplemental security document for such collateral or other actions to achieve a perfected Lien on such collateral, the
Company shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor to, promptly (but in any event no later than the date that
is 60 days after which such supplemental security documents are executed and delivered (or other action taken) under such
Priority Lien Documents or Junior Lien Documents, as applicable), to the extent permitted by applicable law, execute and
deliver to the Collateral Trustee appropriate Security Documents (or amendments thereto) in such form as shall be necessary
in the Collateral Trustee’s reasonable discretion to grant the Collateral Trustee a perfected second-priority Lien on
such Collateral or take such other actions in favor of the Collateral Trustee as shall be reasonably necessary to grant a
valid and enforceable perfected second-priority Lien on such Collateral to the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the
Holders and holders of any other Parity Lien Obligations, subject to the terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement
and the other Note Documents. Additionally, subject to this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Note
Documents, if any Obligor creates any additional Lien upon any assets or property that is required to become Collateral, or
takes any additional actions to perfect any existing Lien on Collateral, in each case for the benefit of the holders of the
Priority Lien Debt or the holders of Junior Lien Debt, after the Issue Date, the such Obligor shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, within 60 days after such Lien is granted or other action taken, grant a valid and enforceable perfected
second-priority Lien upon such property or asset, or take such additional perfection actions, as applicable, for the benefit
of the Holders and obtain all related deliverables as those delivered to the Priority Lien Representative or Junior Lien
Agent, as applicable, in each case as security for the Notes Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
that any Lien on any Collateral is perfected by the possession or control of such Collateral or of any account in which such
Collateral is held, and if such Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the
Priority Lien Agent, or of agents or bailees of the Priority Lien Agent, the perfection actions and related deliverables
described in Section 11.03(b)(iii) and (iv) and this Section 11.03(c) shall not be required.

 

    -86-

     

    

 

From and after the
Issue Date, if any Obligor grants a Lien (an “Additional Collateral Lien”) on any property or assets, other
than Excluded Property, to secure Indebtedness under a Credit Facility that does not constitute Priority Lien Debt, then the Company
shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor to, promptly (but in any event no later than the date that is 60 days
thereafter), to the extent permitted by applicable law, execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee appropriate Security Documents
in such form as shall be necessary in the Collateral Trustee’s reasonable discretion to grant the Collateral Trustee a valid
and enforceable Lien on such property or assets perfected on a second lien basis to such Additional Collateral Lien to secure the
Parity Lien Obligations, subject to the terms of an intercreditor arrangement substantially in the form of the Intercreditor Agreement,
as it relates to the Priority Lien Debt and the Parity Lien Debt, including with respect to releases of such Liens. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any such property or assets that become subject to a Lien to secure the Parity Lien
Obligations as provided in this Section 11.03(c) will not constitute “Collateral” for purposes of the Intercreditor
Agreement. No Credit Facility shall be permitted to be secured as described in this second paragraph of this Section 11.03(c)
unless the Priority Lien Agent shall have consented to such property and assets not constituting “Collateral” for purposes
of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(d)              
The Company will deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the Security
Documents.

 

(e)              
Each applicable Obligor will cause to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Collateral Trustee has a valid and perfected Lien with respect to each real property subject to a Mortgage only in the circumstances
required by the Collateral Trust Agreement.

 

(f)               
In acting hereunder and under the other Note Documents, the Holders, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree that
the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to the rights, privileges, protections, immunities, indemnities and benefits provided
to the Trustee hereunder as if such were provided to the Collateral Trustee.

 

SECTION
11.04                  Intercreditor
Agreement. This Article 11 and the provisions of each Security Document are subject to the terms, conditions and
benefits set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Obligor consents to, and agrees to be bound by, the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and to perform its obligations thereunder in
accordance with the terms thereof. Each Holder of Securities, by its acceptance of the Securities (a) consents to the
subordination of Liens provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) agrees that it will be bound by, and will take no
actions contrary to, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (c) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Trustee on
behalf of each Holder to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement as the “Original Second Lien Collateral Trustee”
(as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) on behalf of such Holders as “Second Lien Secured Parties” (as
defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). In addition, each Holder authorizes and instructs the Collateral Trustee to enter
into any amendments or joinders to the Intercreditor Agreement, without the consent of any Holder or the Trustee, to add
additional Indebtedness as Priority Lien Debt, Parity Lien Debt or Junior Lien Debt and add other parties (or any authorized
agent or trustee therefor) holding such Indebtedness thereto and to establish that the Lien on any Collateral securing such
Indebtedness ranks equally with the Liens on such Collateral securing the other Priority Lien Debt, Parity Lien Debt or
Junior Lien Debt, as applicable, then outstanding, in each case, where the incurrence of such secured Indebtedness is
permitted by this Indenture. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the lenders under the Priority Lien
Credit Agreement to extend credit to the Company and certain of the Subsidiaries, and such lenders are intended third party
beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Collateral Trust Agreement. This Article 11 and the provisions of each Security Document are subject to the
terms, conditions and benefits set forth in the Collateral Trust Agreement. Each Obligor consents to, and agrees to be bound by,
the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms therewith. Each
Holder of Securities, by its acceptance of the Securities (a) agrees that it will be bound by, and will take no actions contrary
to, the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement and (b) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Holders
and each other holder of Parity Lien Obligations to enter into the Collateral Trust Agreement as Collateral Trustee on behalf of
the Holders and the other holders of Parity Lien Obligations.

 

SECTION 11.06                    Release of Liens in Respect of Securities. The
Collateral Trustee’s Parity Liens upon the Collateral will no longer secure the Securities outstanding under this Indenture
or any other Notes Obligations, and the right of the Holders to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral Trustee’s Parity
Liens on the Collateral will terminate and be discharged:

 

(a)              
upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 12 hereof;

 

(b)              
upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof;

 

(c)              
 upon payment in full in cash and discharge of all Securities outstanding under this Indenture and all other Notes Obligations
that are outstanding, due and payable under this Indenture and the other Note Documents at the time the Securities are paid in
full in cash and discharged (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been made);

 

(d)              
as to any Collateral of a Obligor that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by a Obligor to a Person that is not
(either before or after such sale, transfer or disposition) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction or other
circumstance that does not violate Section 4.12 (other than the obligation to apply proceeds of such Collateral Sale as
provided in such section) and is permitted by all of the other Note Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section
4.01(a)(i) of the Intercreditor Agreement), at the time of such sale, transfer or other disposition or to the extent of the
interest sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of; provided that the Collateral Trustee’s Liens upon the Collateral
will not be released if the sale or disposition is subject to Section 5.01;

 

(e)              
in whole or in part, with the consent of the Holders of the requisite percentage of aggregate principal amount of Securities
in accordance with Section 9.02 hereof;

 

    -88-

     

    

 

(f)               
with respect to the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor, at the time that such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its
Guarantee in accordance with Section 10.05, subject to satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 4.01(a)(i)
of the Intercreditor Agreement; or

 

(g)              
if and to the extent required by Section 4.1(a) of the Collateral Trust Agreement or Section 4.01(a) of the
Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Upon receipt of an Officers’
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the Collateral Trustee shall execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments
of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Company of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Section
11.06.

 

SECTION 11.07                 
Collateral Trustee.

 

(a)              
The Collateral Trustee will hold (directly or through co-trustees or agents) and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, will be entitled to enforce all Liens on the Collateral created by the Security Documents.

 

(b)              
Except as provided in the Collateral Trust Agreement or as directed by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders in accordance with
the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Trustee will not be obligated:

 

(1)              
to act upon directions purported to be delivered to it by any Person;

 

(2)              
to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien; or

 

(3)              
to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Security Documents, the Liens created thereby or the
Collateral.

 

(c)              
By accepting a Security, each Holder is deemed to authorize the Collateral Trustee to release or subordinate any Collateral
that is permitted to be sold, reclassified or released or be subject to a Priority Lien pursuant to the terms of this Indenture
and the Security Documents. By accepting a Security, each Holder is deemed to authorize the Collateral Trustee to execute and deliver
to the Company, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments
or other documents reasonably requested by the Company in connection with any sale, reclassification or other disposition of Collateral
to the extent such sale, reclassification or other disposition, and such release of Liens, is permitted by the terms of this Indenture
and the Security Documents.

 

(d)               Neither
the Trustee nor the Collateral Trustee shall be responsible for (i) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or
protecting the Liens granted under the Security Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby,
(ii) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording or continuing of any document, financing statement, Mortgage, assignment,
notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times or (iii) providing,
maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to the Collateral. The actions
described in clauses (i) through (iii) shall be the sole responsibility of the Obligors.

either

 

(1)              
all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or

money has theretofore been, as provided in Section 2.07, deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the
Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 8.07) have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

 

(2)              
all Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation

 

(A)            
have become due and payable,

will become due and payable on the Maturity Date within one year, or

 

(C)             
are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice
of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

of (A), (B) or (C) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for
this purpose an amount of money in U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on Securities
not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, and any premium and interest thereon, to the
Maturity Date or applicable redemption date, as the case may be in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the
Securities (provided that, upon any redemption that requires the payment of a make-whole or other premium,
(x) the amount of cash in U.S. Legal Tender that must be deposited will be determined using an assumed applicable
premium calculated as of the date of such deposit and (y) the Company will deposit any deficit in trust on or prior to
the redemption date as necessary to pay the applicable premium as determined by such date);

 

    -90-

Sections 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10 and 2.11 and in Article 8 and
this Article 12 shall survive until the Securities have been repaid in full, and (iii) if money shall have been
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (2) of subsection (a) of this Section, the obligations of the Company and/or
the Trustee under Sections 2.08, 4.04, 7.01(f), 8.07 and 12.02 shall survive such satisfaction
and discharge.

pursuant to Section 12.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities

The Company, any Subsidiary
Guarantor, the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee or any Agent by notice to the other may designate additional or different addresses
for subsequent notices or communications.

 

The Trustee agrees to
accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail in PDF format, facsimile transmission

certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated
persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing.
If the Company elects to give the Trustee e-mail in PDF format or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic
method) and the Trustee in its reasonable discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s reasonable understanding
of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly

with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

 

If a notice or communication
is mailed in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it. If the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor mails notice or communications to Holders, it shall mail a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

The Securities.

Form and Dating. Securities offered and sold to QIBs (“Rule 144A Global Securities”) shall
be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Securities in definitive, fully registered form, and Securities
offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”), shall be issued initially
in the form of one or more temporary Global Securities in fully registered form (“Temporary Regulation S Global Securities”),
in each case, without interest coupons and with the Global Securities legend, Restricted Securities legend and the OID Legend set
forth in Section 2.3 (each security, unless and until becoming an Unrestricted Security in accordance with Section 2.3(d)(ii)
below, a “Restricted Global Security”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the holders of the Securities
represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary (or with such other custodian as the Depositary may direct),

long as required by law or the Depositary.

interests in the Rule 144A Global Security, a permanent global security (the “Permanent Regulation S Global Security”
and, together with the Temporary Regulation S Global Security, the “Regulation S Global Security”) or any other
Security prior to the expiration of the period through and including the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering
of any Securities and the closing of such offering (such period, the “Restricted Period”) and then, after the
expiration of the Restricted Period, may be exchanged for interests in a Rule 144A Global Security or the Permanent Regulation
S Global Security only upon certification in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee that beneficial ownership
interests in such Temporary Regulation S Global Security are owned either by non-U.S. persons or U.S. persons who purchased such
interests in a transaction that did not require registration under the Securities Act.

 

Prior to the expiration
of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Security may be exchanged for beneficial interests
in the Rule 144A Global Security only if (i) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of the Securities pursuant to Rule
144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), (ii) the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate
(in the form provided in Exhibit 1 hereto) to the effect that the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Security
is being transferred to a Person who the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB and is purchasing for its own account or the
account of a QIB, in each case in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, and (iii) the transfer is in accordance
with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions. After the expiration of the Restricted
Period, such certification requirements shall not apply to such transfers of beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Security
representing Regulation S Global Securities.

 

Beneficial interests
in a Rule 144A Global Security may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the Regulation S
Global Security, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the
Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in Exhibit 1 hereto) to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance
with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available).

 

The aggregate principal
amount of the Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee
and the Depositary or its nominee as provided herein and in the Indenture.

 

(c)               Certificated
Securities. Except as provided in Section 2.13(c) of the Indenture, owners of beneficial interests in Restricted
Global Securities shall not be entitled to receive Certificated Securities. Certificated Securities shall be exchangeable for
beneficial interests in Global Securities only as provided in Section 2.13(c) of the Indenture and Section
2.3.

2.3           Transfer

(a)              
Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.  The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial
interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions
on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a
Global Security shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing
information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Security.
The Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Person specified
in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the
beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred.

 

(i)                
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix, a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except
by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the
Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

 

(ii)             
In the event that a Restricted Global Security is exchanged for Certificated Securities pursuant to Section 2.4(a)
hereof, such Securities may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions
of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Securities intended to
ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act, as the
case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

 

(b)              
Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Securities. When Certificated Securities are presented to the Registrar
with a request (x) to register the transfer of such Certificated Securities or (y) to exchange such Certificated Securities for
an equal principal amount of Certificated Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer
or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however,
that the Certificated Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange:

 

(i)                
shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

 

(ii)             
if such Certificated Securities are required to bear a Restricted Securities legend, they are being transferred or
exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.3(c) or pursuant
to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

 

    

     

    

 

(A)            
if such Certificated Securities are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder,
without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or

 

(B)             
if such Certificated Securities are being transferred to the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or any Subsidiary thereof a
certification to that effect; or

 

(C)             
if such Certificated Securities are being transferred (x) pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with
Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (y) in reliance upon another exemption from the requirements of
the Securities Act: (I) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse of the Security) and (II) if the Company
so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set
forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(d).

 

(c)              
Restrictions on Transfer of a Certificated Security for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security. A Certificated
Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Security or a Permanent Regulation S Global Security
except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Certificated Security, duly endorsed
or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:

 

(i)                
certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Security, that such Certificated Security is either (A)
being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, or (B) being transferred after expiration of the Restricted Period by
a Person who initially purchased such Security in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such Security
in the form of a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Security; and

 

(ii)             
written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Securities custodian to make, an adjustment
on its books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Security (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (c)(i)(A))
or Permanent Regulation S Global Security (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (c)(i)(B)) to reflect an increase in the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security,
as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase,

 

then the Trustee
shall cancel such Certificated Security and cause, or direct the Securities custodian to cause, in accordance with the
standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Securities custodian, the aggregate principal
amount of Securities represented by the Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security, as applicable,
to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Security to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to
be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global
Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Security
so canceled. If no Rule 144A Global Securities or Permanent Regulation S Global Securities, as applicable, are then
outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an
Officers’ Certificate of the Company, a new Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security, as
applicable, in the appropriate principal amount.

[REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY]

 

11.5% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due
2025

 

1.       Interest

 

Chesapeake Energy Corporation,
an Oklahoma corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein
called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the fixed rate per annum
shown above. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The first interest payment date
shall be July 1, 2020. Interest on the Security shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from December 19, 2019. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months.

 

2.       Method of Payment

 

The Company shall pay
interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Securities at the close of
business on the June 15 or December 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record
date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.
The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium
and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. The Company
shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium and interest), at the Company’s
option, at the corporate trust office of the Trustee or by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided,
however, that payments on a certificated Security shall be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by
the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee
or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for
payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

 

If any scheduled payment
date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the applicable payment to be made on such payment date will be made on the next
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the relevant payment date. No interest will accrue on such payment for
the period from and after the applicable payment date.

 

3.       Indenture

 

The Company issued
the Securities under an Indenture dated as of December 19, 2019, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and
the Collateral Trustee (“Indenture”). The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture. Terms defined
in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all
such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms. The Securities are entitled to the benefits
of the Security Documents, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all as more fully set forth in the Indenture.

 

     

     

    

 

The Company shall be
entitled to issue Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Indenture. The Securities issued on the Issue Date
and any Additional Securities shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture.

 

4.       Make-Whole Redemption

 

Except as set forth
below in this paragraph 4 or paragraph 5, or in the Indenture, the Company shall not be entitled to optionally redeem the Securities
prior to January 1, 2022.

 

At any time prior to
January 1, 2022, the Company shall be entitled at its option to redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus the Make-Whole Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on
the relevant interest payment date). Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph 4 shall be made, to the extent applicable, pursuant
to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.07 of the Indenture.

 

The Trustee shall have
no responsibility or obligation whatsoever to calculate the Adjusted Treasury Rate or the Make-Whole Premium in connection with
any redemption hereunder. Such responsibility shall be solely that of the Company.

 

For the purposes of
this paragraph 4, the following terms shall have the meaning indicated:

 

“Adjusted Treasury
Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately
preceding week, appearing in the most recently published Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) or any successor publication
which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or, if such release (or any successor release)
is not published, any publicly available source of similar market data) and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the
maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after January 1, 2022,
yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the
Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest
month), calculated on the third Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date, plus 50 basis points.

 

“Comparable Treasury
Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Company as having a maturity comparable to the remaining
term of the Securities from the redemption date to January 1, 2022 that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance
with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a maturity most nearly equal to January
1, 2022.

 

“Make-Whole
Premium” means with respect to a Security at any applicable redemption date, the excess of (i) the present value at
such redemption date of (A) the redemption price of such Security on January 1, 2022 (such redemption price being described
in paragraph 5 below) exclusive of any accrued interest plus (B) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on
such Security through January 1, 2022 (but excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a
discount rate equal to the Adjusted Treasury Rate, over (ii) the principal amount of such Security on such redemption
date.

 

     

     

    

 

5.       Optional Redemption

 

(a)       At
any time on or after January 1, 2022, the Company may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at its option, at the following
redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period (or, in the case of the period commencing January 1, 2022, such
12-month period and thereafter) commencing on January 1 of the years set forth below:

 

	Year	 	Percentage	 
	2022	 	 	105.750	%
	2023	 	 	102.875	%
	2024 and thereafter	 	 	100.000	%

 

(b)       At
any time prior to January 1, 2022, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount
of Securities issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 111.500% of the principal amount of the Securities redeemed,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date
to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), with an amount of cash not greater than the net cash proceeds of
one or more Equity Offerings by the Company; provided that, with respect to each such redemption, (i) at least 65% of the
aggregate principal amount of Securities issued under the Indenture (excluding any Securities held by the Company and its Subsidiaries)
remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and (ii) such redemption occurs within 180 days of the
date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

 

(c)       Any
redemption pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be made, to the extent applicable, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01
through 3.07 of the Indenture.

 

6.       Applicable High
Yield Discount Obligations

 

If this Security
would otherwise constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” (“AHYDOs”) within the meaning
of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, at the end of all accrual periods ending after December 19, 2024 (each, an “AHYDO
Payment Date”), but not including the final accrual period, the Company will make pro-rata cash payments to all Holders
of this Security then outstanding in an amount equal to the Mandatory Principal Payment Amount (each such payment, a
“Mandatory Principal Payment”). The “Mandatory Principal Payment Amount” means the portion of
this Security’s principal required to be paid as of each AHYDO Payment Date to prevent this Security from being treated
as an AHYDO within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code. No partial payments, redemptions or repurchases of this
Security prior to an AHYDO Payment Date pursuant to any other provision of the Indenture or this Security will alter the
Company’s obligation to make the Mandatory Principal Payment with respect to the amount of this Security that remain
outstanding on an AHYDO Payment Date. Solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any Mandatory Principal Payment shall be
treated as a payment of accrued OID that constitutes interest for purposes of Section 163(i)(2) of the Code.

 

     

     

    

 

Any Mandatory Principal
Payment paid with respect to Global Securities will be processed as a “partial redemption” through the Depositary,
in accordance with its rules and procedures as a “Pro Rata Pass-Through Distribution of Principal.”

 

7.       Notice of Redemption

 

At least 30 days but
not more than 75 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first class mail (or otherwise
give such notice in accordance with the Indenture) to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered
address, except that notice may be given more than 75 days before the applicable redemption date in connection with a defeasance
of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge with respect to the Securities in accordance with the Indenture. If less than
all of the Securities are redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed on a pro rata basis or by
lot, in each case, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, or, if the Securities are listed on any securities exchange,
by any other method that complies with the requirements of such exchange; provided, however, that no Securities with
a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the applicable redemption
price, interest on the Securities to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on the applicable redemption date, whether or not such Securities
are presented for payment.

 

8.       Repurchase at
Option of Holder

 

(a)       In
the event of certain Sale/Leaseback Transactions, the Company may be required to make a Net Proceeds Offer to purchase on a pro
rata basis all or any portion of each Holder’s Securities and any other Senior Indebtedness in respect of which such an offer
to purchase is also required to be made, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Net Proceeds
Payment Date.

 

(b)       In
the event of certain Collateral Sales, the Company may be required to make a Collateral Sale Offer to purchase on a pro rata basis
all or a portion of each Holder’s Securities and any other Parity Lien Debt containing provisions similar to those set forth
in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, at 100% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase.

 

(c)       In
the event of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of such
Holder’s Securities at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to
the date of purchase, as provided in, and subject to the terms of the Indenture.

 

9.       Restrictive Covenants

 

The Indenture
imposes certain limitations on, among other things, the ability of the Company to merge or consolidate with, or transfer all
or substantially all of its assets to, any other Person, make certain restricted payments, sell and lease back certain of its
properties or assets, the ability of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to incur encumbrances securing funded debt
against certain property and the ability of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to sell certain Collateral, all subject
to certain exceptions and limitations described in the Indenture.

 

     

     

    

 

10.       Ranking and
Guarantees

 

The Securities are
general senior obligations of the Company, secured on a second lien basis by the Collateral pledged by the Company. The Company’s
obligation to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Securities is unconditionally guaranteed on a senior
basis, jointly and severally, by the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to Article Ten of the Indenture, secured on a second-priority
basis by the Collateral pledged by the Subsidiary Guarantors. Certain limitations to the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors
are set forth in further detail in the Indenture.

 

11.       Denominations;
Transfer; Exchange

 

The Securities are
in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by
the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any Securities selected for redemption (except, in
the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or any Securities for a period of
15 Business Days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Securities or 15 Business Days before an interest
payment date.

 

12.       Security Documents;
Intercreditor Agreement

 

Each Holder, by accepting
a Security, shall be deemed to have agreed to and accepted the terms and conditions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreement and the performance by the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee of their respective obligations and the exercise of their
respective rights thereunder and in connection therewith.

 

13.       Persons Deemed
Owners

 

The registered Holder
of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

 

14.       Unclaimed Money

 

If money for the payment
of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at
its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must
look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

 

     

     

    

 

15.       Discharge and
Defeasance

 

Subject to certain
conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the Securities and the
Indenture and to the release of liens on the Collateral if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Securities
for the payment of principal of, and interest on, the outstanding Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be; provided
that, upon any redemption that requires the payment of a make-whole or other premium, (x) the amount of cash, U.S. Government Securities,
or a combination thereof, that must be deposited will be determined using an assumed applicable premium calculated as of the date
of such deposit and (y) the Company will deposit any deficit in trust on or prior to the redemption date as necessary to pay the
applicable premium as determined by such date.

 

16.       Amendment, Supplement,
Waiver

 

The amendment, supplement
and waiver provisions are set forth in the Indenture. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Securities or the other
Note Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for Securities or a solicitation of consents in respect of Securities) of the Holders of
at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities, and any past default or noncompliance with any provision
may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities. Without the consent of any Holder,
the Company may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Securities or the other Note Documents to, among other things, cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material
respect.

 

17.       Successor Obligor

 

When a successor obligor
assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Securities, the Indenture and the other Note Documents, the predecessor
obligor shall be released from those obligations.

 

18.       Defaults and
Remedies

 

The defaults,
events of default and remedies provisions are set forth in the Indenture. An Event of Default generally is: (i) default by
the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in payment of principal of, or premium, if any, on the Securities; (ii) default by
the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor for 30 days in payment of interest on the Securities; (iii) defaults resulting in
acceleration prior to maturity of certain other Indebtedness or resulting from payment defaults under certain other
Indebtedness; (iv) failure by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor for 60 days after notice to comply with any of its
other agreements in the Indenture; (v) a failure of any Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor to be in full force and effect or
denial by any Subsidiary Guarantor of its obligations with respect thereto; (vi) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization; and (vii) except as permitted by the Note Documents, certain Note Documents or Parity Liens cease for any
reason to be enforceable or, in certain cases, perfected, or denial by a Obligor of its obligations with respect thereto.
Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders
of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may declare all the Securities to be due and payable
immediately, except that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization, all outstanding Securities shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders
may not enforce the Note Documents except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require security or indemnity
satisfactory to it before it enforces the Note Documents. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Company must furnish an annual
compliance certificate to the Trustee.

 

     

     

    

 

19.       Trustee Dealings
with Company and Subsidiary Guarantors

 

Each of the Trustee
and the Collateral Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities
and may otherwise deal with the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable.

 

20.       No Recourse
Against Others

 

A director, officer,
employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee shall not have
any liability for any obligations of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee or of any Affiliate
of any of the foregoing entities under the Note Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations
or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part
of the consideration for the issue of this Security.

 

21.       Authentication

 

This Security shall
not be valid until the Trustee or an authenticating agent signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

 

22.       Abbreviations

 

Customary abbreviations
may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties),
JT TEN (=joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=Custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gifts
to Minors Act).

 

23.       CUSIP Numbers

 

Pursuant to a recommendation
promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company shall cause CUSIP numbers and corresponding
ISIN numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to Holders of the Securities. No representation is made as to the
accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
hereon.

 

24.       Governing Law

 

THIS SECURITY SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES
OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
