 -23-

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate

The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or

default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent
(if other than the Company) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any
bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.05.

312(a). 
 Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee
of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be

 Upon the occurrence of either of the events in (1) or (2) above, Definitive Notes
shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 2.07 and Section 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in
exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or Section 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note

FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE,
(2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (3) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE INDENTURE AND (4) THIS
GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY. 
  

 -27- 

 UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE
MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR
A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (55 WATER STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK) (“DTC”) TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION
OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY GLOBAL NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER
ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST
HEREIN.” 
 (g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a
particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in
accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of Definitive Notes, the principal
amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial
interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such
Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 
 (h) General
Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 
 (1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will
execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 

(2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge
payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 3.06, Section 3.09, Section 4.11, Section 4.15 and Section 9.05 hereof). 

(3) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes
issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or
Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
  

 -28- 

 (5) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required: 

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15
days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; 

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or 
 (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a
record date and the next succeeding interest payment date for the Note. 
 (6) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a
transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and
for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (7)
The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof. 

(8) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06
to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 
 Section 2.07. Replacement Notes. 

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

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. 

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it
for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof,
a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds such Note; however, such Notes held by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of
Section 3.07(b) hereof. 
  

 -29- 

 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding
unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the
principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to
pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 

Section 2.09. Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes
owned by the Company or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether
the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. 

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

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 

Section 2.11. Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes
(subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the
extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record
date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the
Company) will deliver or cause to be delivered to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

 Section 2.13. [Intentionally Omitted]. 

Section 2.14. Additional Notes. 

The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture that shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes, other
than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and amount of interest payable on the first interest payment date applicable thereto; provided that such issuance is not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture, including
Section 4.09 and Section 4.13; provided, further, that such Additional Notes are fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all
purposes under this Indenture. 
 With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a Board Resolution of its
Board of Directors and in an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 

(a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;
and 
 (b) the issue price, the issue date, the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes, the first interest payment
date and the amount of interest payable on such first interest payment date applicable thereto and the date from which interest shall accrue. 

ARTICLE 3. 

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee. 

If the Company elects to redeem Notes of any series pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it must

(a) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur; 

(b) the redemption date; 

(c) the principal amount of the Notes of such series to be redeemed; and 

(d) the redemption price. 

Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee will select Notes
(provided that where less than all of the Notes of a series are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.07, the Trustee will select Notes only from such series) for redemption or purchase on a pro rata basis or to the extent that selection
on a pro rata basis is not practicable, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements. In the event of such partial redemption or purchase, the
particular Notes to 
  

 -31- 

 
be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding
Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase. 
 The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except
as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company
will deliver a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a
defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 10 hereof. 
 The notice
will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state: 
 (a) the redemption date; 

(b) the redemption price; 

(c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after
the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; 

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

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

(f) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to
accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (g) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture
pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; 
 (h) that no representation is made as to
the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 

(i) any condition to such redemption. 

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense;
provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least two Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be delivered to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03

  

 -32- 

 
(unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such
notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 
 Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due
and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price (except as provided for in Section 3.07(b) and Section 3.07(d) hereof). A notice of redemption may not be conditional. The notice, if delivered in a manner provided herein, shall
be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall
not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. 
 Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption or Purchase
Price. 
 Prior to 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the redemption or purchase date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or
with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly
return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

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

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the
Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture to the contrary,
neither an Opinion of Counsel nor an Officers’ Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note. 
 Section 3.07.
Optional Redemption. 
 (a) Other than as set forth in this Section 3.07, the Notes shall not be redeemable by the
Company prior to maturity. 
 (b) At any time prior to March 1, 2013, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem
up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) outstanding under this Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 108.125% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,
plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that: 

(1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional
Notes) issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company and its subsidiaries); and 
  

 -33- 

 (2) the redemption must occur within 90 days of the date of the closing
of such Equity Offering. 
 (c) On or after March 1, 2014, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes, on any one or
more occasions, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month
period beginning on March 1 of the years indicated below: 
  

				
	 Year

	 2015
	  	102.0313	% 
	 2016 and thereafter
	  	100.0000	% 

 (d) At any
time prior to March 1, 2014, the Company may also redeem all or a part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to,
but not including, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of record of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. 

(e) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through
Section 3.06 hereof. 
 Section 3.08. Mandatory Redemption. 

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

Section 3.09. Repurchase Offer. 

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.11 or 4.15 hereof, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary is required to commence an offer
to all Holders to purchase Notes (a “Repurchase Offer”), it shall follow the procedures specified below. 
 The
Repurchase Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a shorter or longer period is permitted or required, as the case may be, by applicable law (the “Offer
Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company will purchase at the Purchase Price (as determined in accordance with Section 4.11 and 4.15
hereof, as the case may be) the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.11 or 4.15 hereof, as the case may be (the “Offer Amount”) and, if required, Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis,
if applicable), or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered in response to the Repurchase Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are
made. 
  

 -34- 

 If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related
interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to
Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. 
 Upon the commencement of a Repurchase Offer, the Company will
deliver or cause to be delivered a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. The notice, which
will govern the terms of the Repurchase Offer, will state: 
 (a) that the Repurchase Offer is being made
pursuant to this Section 3.09, and either Section 4.11 or 4.15 hereof, as applicable, and the length of time the Repurchase Offer will remain open; 

(b) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 

(c) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest; 

(d) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Repurchase
Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date; 
 (e) that Holders electing to have a Note
purchased pursuant to a Repurchase Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; 

(f) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Repurchase Offer will be required to surrender the
Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in
the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 
 (g) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their
election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal
amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 

(h) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds
the Offer Amount, the Trustee will select the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed
appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and 

(i) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes of the applicable series equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 
  

 -35- 

 On or before the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment,
on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The
Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such
Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, will authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such
Holder in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture to the contrary, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor an Officers’ Certificate is required for the Trustee
to authenticate such new Note. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly returned by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Repurchase Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.

 Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, Section 4.11 or Section 4.15 hereof, as applicable,
any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 3.01 through Section 3.06 hereof.

date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. 

The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the

co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company 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 fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
  

 -36- 

 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the

 In
addition, whether or not required by the Commission, the Company will, if the Commission will accept the filing, file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) with the Commission for public
availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations. In addition, the Company will make the information and reports available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. If the Company had
any Unrestricted Subsidiaries during the relevant period, the Company will also provide to the Trustees and, upon request, to any Holder of the Notes, information sufficient to ascertain the financial condition and results of operations of Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries, excluding in all respects the Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Company will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Section 4.03 for purposes of Section 6.01(c) hereof until 90 days after the date any report under this Section 4.03 is due.

 Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate.

kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge, each entity 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 of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults
or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto). 
  

 -37- 

 (b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee,
within five Business Days of any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an officer’s certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

 Section 4.05. Taxes. 

The Company will pay, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments,
and governmental levies, except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Company covenants (to the extent that it 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 wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the
Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they will not, by resort to any such law, 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 has been enacted.

aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Issue Date in accordance with clause (iii) of Section 4.07(a), amounts expended pursuant to clauses (1) and (4) of Section 4.07(b) shall be included in such
calculation. 
 Section 4.08. Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. 

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise
cause or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to: 

(a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock; 

(b) make loans or advances to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary or to pay any Indebtedness or other
obligation owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; or 
 (c) transfer any of its
property or assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, 
 except in each case for such encumbrances or
restrictions existing under or by reason of: 
 (1) applicable law, rule, regulation or order; 

(2) this Indenture, the Notes and any Guarantees; 

(3) customary non-assignment provisions of any contract or any lease, license or sublicense governing a leasehold interest
of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 
 (4) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, which
encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired; 

(5) agreements existing on the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect on the Issue Date;

  

 -41- 

 (6) the Bank Facility, an agreement governing other Pari Passu Indebtedness
permitted to be incurred under this Indenture or, with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary, an agreement evidencing Indebtedness incurred not in violation of this Indenture; provided that, with respect to any agreement governing such other
Pari Passu Indebtedness or other Indebtedness, as the case may be, the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction are no less favorable to the Company or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in any material respect as determined by
the Board of Directors of the Company in its reasonable and good faith judgment than the provisions contained in the Bank Facility, in the case of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, and the agreements of such Restricted Subsidiary, in the case of
such other Indebtedness, in each case as in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (7) restrictions on the transfer of
assets subject to any Lien permitted under this Indenture imposed by the holder of such Lien; 
 (8) restrictions
imposed by any agreement to sell assets or Capital Stock permitted under this Indenture to any Person pending the closing of such sale; 

(9) such encumbrances or restrictions being binding on a Restricted Subsidiary at such time as such Restricted Subsidiary
first becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such encumbrances or restrictions are not entered into solely in contemplation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary; 

(10) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements (in each case relating solely to the
respective joint venture or similar entity or the equity interests therein) entered into in the ordinary course of business; 

(11) any amendment to or Refinancing of the Indebtedness issued, assumed or incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to
in clauses (2), (4), (5) and (6) above; provided that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in any such agreement, taken as a whole, are no less favorable to the Company in any material respect as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in their reasonable and good faith judgment than the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in agreements referred to in such clauses (2), (4), (5) and (6);

 (12) customary restrictions on leases, subleases, licenses, sublicenses or asset sale agreements otherwise
permitted hereby; 
 (13) restrictions imposed on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or

Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume,
guarantee, acquire, become liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for payment of (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness); provided that if no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or as a consequence of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, the Company 

 

 -42- 

 
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness if on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio of the Company would have been greater than 2.0 to 1.0; provided that the amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred and Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock that may be issued pursuant to the foregoing by any
Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors shall not exceed $100.0 million at any one time outstanding. 
 (b)
Section 4.09(a) will not apply to (collectively, “Permitted Indebtedness”): 
 (1)
Indebtedness under the Notes (other than any Additional Notes) issued on the Issue Date; 
 (2) Indebtedness
incurred pursuant to any Bank Facility in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the greater of (A) $150.0 million and (B) 5.0% of Total Assets;

Indebtedness under clauses 1, 2 or 18 of this Section 4.09(b)) reduced by the amount of any scheduled amortization payments, mandatory prepayments when actually paid, conversions or permanent reductions thereof; 

(4) Interest Swap Obligations of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company covering Indebtedness of the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that such Interest Swap Obligations are entered into to protect the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries from fluctuations in interest rates on its outstanding Indebtedness incurred
without violation of the Indenture to the extent the notional principal amount of such Interest Swap Obligation does not, at the time of the incurrence thereof, exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness to which such Interest Swap Obligation
relates; 
 (5) Indebtedness under Currency Agreements; provided that in the case of Currency Agreements
which relate to Indebtedness, such Currency Agreements do not increase the Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding other than as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or by reason of fees,
indemnities and compensation payable thereunder; 
 (6) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
owing to and held by the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company for so long as such Indebtedness is held by the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or the holder of a Lien permitted under the
Indenture, in each case subject to no Lien held by a Person other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or the holder of a Lien permitted under the Indenture; provided that if as of any date any Person other
than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or the holder of a Lien permitted under the Indenture owns or holds any such Indebtedness or holds a Lien in respect of such Indebtedness, such date shall be deemed the
incurrence of Indebtedness not constituting Permitted Indebtedness under this clause 6 by the issuer of such Indebtedness; 

(7) Indebtedness of the Company owing to and held by a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company for so long as
such Indebtedness is held by a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or the holder of a Lien permitted under the Indenture, in each case subject to no Lien other than a Lien permitted under the Indenture; provided that if as of
any date any Person other than a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or the holder 
  

 -43- 

 
of a Lien permitted under the Indenture owns or holds any such Indebtedness or any Person holds a Lien in respect of such Indebtedness, such date shall be deemed the incurrence of Indebtedness
not constituting Permitted Indebtedness under this clause 7 by the Company; 
 (8) Indebtedness arising from the
honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided that such
Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of incurrence; 
 (9) Indebtedness of the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of performance bonds, bankers’ acceptances, workers’ compensation claims, surety, bid, appeal or similar bonds, completion guarantees, payment obligations in connection with self-insurance or
similar obligations, and bank overdrafts (and letters of credit in respect thereof) in the ordinary course of business; 

(10) Indebtedness represented by Capitalized Lease Obligations and Purchase Money Indebtedness of the Company and its

(11) Refinancing Indebtedness; 

(12) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of “earn-out” obligations, guarantees,
indemnities or obligations in respect of purchase price adjustments in connection with the acquisition or disposition of assets (including Capital Stock); 

(13) Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of letters of credit, bank
guarantees or similar instruments issued or created in the ordinary course of business, including in respect of health, disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability insurance or self-insurance or other Indebtedness with
respect to reimbursement-type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims; provided that any reimbursement obligations in respect thereof are reimbursed within 60 days following the incurrence thereof; 

(14) Indebtedness in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million at any
one time outstanding; 
 (15) Acquired Indebtedness, if on the date that such Indebtedness is incurred, after
giving pro forma effect thereto, (A) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall be able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) pursuant to Section 4.09(a), or
(B) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company would be no less than the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to the date such Indebtedness is incurred; 

(16) Additional Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted
value) not to exceed $100.0 million at any one time outstanding (which amounts may, but need not, be incurred in whole or in part under the Bank Facility); provided that the amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to this clause
16 by any Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors shall not exceed $50.0 million at any one time outstanding; 
  

 -44- 

 (17) Indebtedness represented by guarantees by the Company or its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under the Indenture; provided that, in the case of a guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary, such Restricted Subsidiary complies with Section 4.16 to the extent applicable;
and 
 (18) Permitted Asia Pacific Debt. 

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that all or a portion of an item of Indebtedness
meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses 1 through 18 of Section 4.09(b) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio provisions of
Section 4.09(a), the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify (or later reclassify) such item of Indebtedness, in whole or in part, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09; provided that all Indebtedness
outstanding under the Bank Facility up to the maximum amount permitted under clause 2 of Section 4.09(b) shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause 2 of Section 4.09(b). Accrual of interest, whether payable in cash or in
kind, accretion or amortization of original issue discount, imputed interest, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Capital Stock in the
form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Capital Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary or Disqualified Capital Stock, as applicable, for purposes
of this Section 4.09. 
 (d) In addition, the Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that becomes
a Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness which by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) is expressly subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such
Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes or the applicable Guarantee, as the case may be, to the same extent
and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other
Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor solely by virtue of such Indebtedness being unsecured or by virtue of the fact that the holders of such Indebtedness have entered into one or more intercreditor agreements giving one or more of such
holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them. 
 (e) For purposes of determining compliance with any
U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the
date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a
foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09 will not be deemed to be exceeded with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange
rates of currencies. 
  

 -45- 

 Section 4.10. Limitation on Preferred Stock of Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries. 

The Company will not permit any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to issue any Preferred Stock (other than
to the Company or to a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) or permit any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) to own any Preferred Stock of any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company that is not a Guarantor. 
 Section 4.11. Asset Sales. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate an Asset Sale
unless: 
 (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration therefor at
the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value at the time of such Asset Sale of the property, assets or stock sold or otherwise disposed of (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors); 

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such
Asset Sale shall be in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Replacement Assets (as defined) and is received at the time of such disposition; provided that, for purposes of this clause 2, (A) the amount of any liabilities (as shown
on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any Guarantee of
a Guarantor) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and (B) the fair market value of any securities or other assets received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for any such assets that are converted into
cash or Cash Equivalents within 360 days after such Assets Sale, in each case shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision; and 

(3) Upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company shall apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net
Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 360 days of receipt thereof either: 
 (A) to permanently reduce
Indebtedness under a Bank Facility or to permanently repay any secured Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor;

 (B) to make an investment in properties and assets (including Capital Stock) that replace the properties and assets that were
the subject of such Asset Sale or in properties and assets that will be used in the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as existing on the Issue Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto (“Replacement
Assets”); 
 (C) to repay other pari passu Indebtedness; provided that the Company shall also equally and ratably
reduce Indebtedness under the Notes by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Net Proceeds Offer) to all Holders to purchase the pro rata principal amount of Notes, in each case at a purchase price equal to
100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); and/or 

 

 -46- 

 (D) a combination of prepayment and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (A) -
(C); 
 provided that in the case of an investment in Replacement Assets pursuant to clause (B) or (D) above, a binding
commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment and, in the event such binding commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Cash Proceeds are so applied,
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another binding commitment within 180 days of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment. 

(b) Pending the final application of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce borrowings under the Bank Facility or any
other revolving credit facility or otherwise invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. On the 361st day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or of such
Restricted Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clauses 3(A)-(D) of Section 4.11(a) (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net
Cash Proceeds (rounded down to the nearest $1,000) that has not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses 3(A)-(D) of the preceding paragraph or the last provision of this paragraph (each a
“Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) to all Holders and, to the extent required by the terms of any Pari
Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness, on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders
(and holders of any such Pari Passu Indebtedness) on a pro rata basis, the maximum amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and Pari Passu
Indebtedness to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase; provided that if at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case
may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute
an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.11. 
 (c) The
Company may defer the Net Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to or in excess of $25.0 million resulting from one or more Asset Sales (at which time, the entire unutilized Net Proceeds Offer
Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $25.0 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to this Section 4.11). 

(d) In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and assets of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Section 5.01 which transaction does not constitute a Change of Control, the successor corporation shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 4.11, and shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.11 with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the fair market value of
such properties and assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 4.11. 

(e) Each Net Proceeds Offer will be mailed to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 25 days following the
Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and 
  

 -47- 

 
shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. Upon receiving notice of the Net Proceeds Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part (of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) in exchange for cash. To the extent Holders properly tender Notes and holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness properly tender such Pari Passu Indebtedness in an amount exceeding the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the
tendered Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered (and the Trustee shall select the tendered Notes of tendering Holders on a pro
rata basis based on the amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered). A Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days or such longer or shorter period as may be required or permitted, respectively, by law. If any
Net Cash Proceeds remain after the consummation of any Net Proceeds Offer, the Company may use those Net Cash Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. Upon completion of each Net Proceeds Offer, the amount of Net Cash
Proceeds will be reset at zero. 
 (f) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act
and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with this Section 4.11, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.11 by virtue thereof. 

Section 4.12. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to
exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each an
“Affiliate Transaction”), having a value greater than $5.0 million other than (x) Affiliate Transactions permitted under Section 4.12(b) and (y) Affiliate Transactions on terms that are no less favorable than those
that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary. 

(b) All Affiliate Transactions (and each series of related Affiliate Transactions which are similar or part of a common plan) involving
aggregate payments or other property with a fair market value in excess of $25.0 million shall be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, such approval to be evidenced by a Board
Resolution stating that such Board of Directors has determined that such transaction complies with the foregoing provisions. If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company enters into an Affiliate Transaction (or a series of related
Affiliate Transactions related to a common plan) that involves an aggregate fair market value of more than $50.0 million, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall, prior to the consummation thereof, obtain a favorable
opinion as to the fairness of such transaction or series of related transactions to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, from an Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with
the Trustee. 
 (c) The restrictions set forth in this Section 4.12 shall not apply to: 

(1) loans, advances and payments of reasonable fees and compensation paid (whether in cash or the issuance of Capital
Stock of the Company) to and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in the ordinary course of business or as determined in good faith by the
Company’s Board of Directors or senior management; 
  

 -48- 

 (2) transactions exclusively between or among the Company and any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries or exclusively between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture; 

(3) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby
(including pursuant to any amendment thereto) in any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement, taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders than the original agreement as in
effect on the Issue Date; 
 (4) any transaction on arm’s-length terms with any non-Affiliate that becomes
an Affiliate as a result of such transaction; 
 (5) any employment, consulting and severance arrangements
entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; 
 (6) the
issuance and sale of Qualified Capital Stock; 
 (7) Permitted Investments and Restricted Payments permitted by

provided on behalf of, directors, officers and employees of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business to the extent attributable to the ownership or operation of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries.

 Section 4.13. Limitation on Liens. 

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume
or permit or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind against or upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date, or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or
otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits therefrom unless: 
 (a) in the case of Liens securing
Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes or any Guarantee, as the case may be, are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; and 

(b) in all other cases, the Notes or any Guarantee, as the case may be, are equally and ratably secured, 

except for: 

(1) Liens securing borrowings under a Bank Facility incurred pursuant to clause 2 of the definition of
“Permitted Indebtedness”; 
 (2) Liens existing as of the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner
such Liens are in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (3) Liens securing the Company’s and its Restricted
Subsidiaries’ Obligations under any hedge facility permitted under this Indenture to be entered into by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
  

 -49- 

 (4) Liens securing the Notes and any Guarantees; 

(5) Liens in favor of the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on assets of any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company; 
 (6) Liens securing Refinancing Indebtedness which is incurred to Refinance any
Indebtedness which has been secured by a Lien permitted under this Indenture and which has been incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; provided that such Liens: (i) are no less favorable to the Holders in any
material respect and are not more favorable to the lienholders in any material respect with respect to such Liens than the Liens in respect of the Indebtedness being Refinanced as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its reasonable
and good faith judgment; and (ii) do not extend to or cover any property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries not securing the Indebtedness so Refinanced; and 

(7) Permitted Liens. 

Section 4.14. Conduct of Business. 

The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not engage in any businesses that are not the same, similar, ancillary, complementary or
reasonably related to the businesses in which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are engaged on the Issue Date. 
 Section 4.15.
Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Company or a
third party has previously or concurrently mailed a redemption notice with respect to all outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.03 or 3.09, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase each Holder’s Notes pursuant to
the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. 

(b) Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must send, or cause the Trustee to
send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than
30 days nor later than 60 days after the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control
Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed and specifying the portion (equal to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof)
of such Holder’s Notes that it agrees to sell to the Company pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of
Control Payment Date. 
 (c) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.15, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.15 by
virtue of such conflict. 
  

 -50- 

 (d) On the date of such Change of Control Payment, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

 (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control
Offer; 
 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all
Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the
Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 

(e) The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and
the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be
in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the date of such Change of Control Payment. 

(f) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of
Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such
Change of Control Offer. The Company (or a third party) may make a Change of Control Offer in advance of, and conditioned upon, any Change of Control. 

Section 4.16. Subsidiary Guarantees. 

If any existing or future Domestic Restricted Subsidiary shall, after the Issue Date, guarantee any Public Debt Securities, then the
Company shall cause such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary to: 
 (1) execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture on the terms set forth in
this Indenture; and 
 (2) deliver to the Trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel that
such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary. 

Thereafter, such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture until such Domestic Restricted
Subsidiary is released from its Guarantee as provided in this Indenture. 
 Section 4.17. Payments for Consent. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or 

 

 -51- 

 
the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents
relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 
 Section 4.18. Suspension of Covenants. 

(a) During any period of time that: (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from two Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Company and the Restricted
Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.16, 5.01(a)(2) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). 

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the Guarantees of the Guarantors, if any, will also be suspended as of such date
(the “Suspension Date”). 
 (c) In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject
to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the rating
assigned to the notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events and the Guarantees of the Guarantors will be
reinstated if such guarantees are then required by the terms of this Indenture. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this Indenture as the “Suspension Period.” 

(d) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a
result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period). 

(e) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension
Period will be classified as having been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” (to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock would be permitted
to be incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital
Stock or Preferred Stock would not be so permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”, such Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock will be deemed
to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (3) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”. Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as
Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 will be made as though under Section 4.07 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. For the avoidance of doubt, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension
Period shall reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a). No Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Company or its
Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period. 
 (f) The Company shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate notifying the Trustee of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 4.18, upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely. The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire or to verify the
treatment of the Company’s debt by the Rating Agencies or otherwise to determine the factual basis for the Company’s determination of the occurrence or timing of a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date. The Company also shall provide
notice to the Holders of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date.

permit any Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge with or into any Person other than the Company or any other Guarantor unless:

sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia; 

(2) such entity assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the Guarantor on the Guarantee; 

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; and 
 (4) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the use of any net proceeds
therefrom on a pro forma basis, the Company could satisfy the provisions of Section 5.01(a)(2) hereof.

 ARTICLE 6. 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.01. Events of Default. 

Any of the following events shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”): 

(a) the failure to pay interest on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period
of 30 days; 
 (b) the failure to pay the principal on any Notes, when such principal becomes due and
payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer) on the date specified for such payment in the applicable offer to
purchase; 
 (c) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in this
Indenture which default continues for a period of 60 days after the Company receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding
principal amount of the Notes (except (i) in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.01, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement and (ii) as otherwise
provided in the last paragraph of Section 4.03); 
 (d) the failure to pay at final maturity (giving effect
to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the stated principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness (which
acceleration is not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 20 days of receipt by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration) if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal
amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final stated maturity or which has been so accelerated (in each case with respect to which the 20-day period described above has passed), equals $50.0 million or
more at any time; 
 (e) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $50.0 million shall have been
rendered against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable; 

 

 -55- 

 (f) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material
Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law: 

(1) commences a voluntary case, 

(2) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 

(3) consents to the appointment of a custodian for it or for all or substantially all of their property, 

(4) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 

(5) an admission by the Company in writing of its inability to pay its debts as they become due; 

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

(1) is for relief against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 

(2) appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group
of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary; 
 (3)
orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary; and the order or decree
remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 
 (h) any Guarantee of a Guarantor that is a Material
Subsidiary (or group of Guarantors that would constitute a Material Subsidiary) or any material provision thereof ceases to be in full force and effect or any Guarantee of a Guarantor is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or any
Guarantee of a Guarantor is found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture). 

Section 6.02. Acceleration. 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect
to the Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by
notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration”, and the same shall become immediately due and payable. Upon declaration of acceleration, the aggregate
principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes shall immediately become due and payable. 
  

 -56- 

 If an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 hereof
with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 At any time after a declaration of acceleration with
respect to the Notes as described in this Section 6.02 hereof, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind and cancel such
acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default (except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes) and its consequences: 

(a) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree; 

(b) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become
due solely because of the acceleration; 
 (c) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on
overdue installments of interest and overdue principal which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; 

(d) if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses,
disbursements and advances; and 
 (e) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type
described in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such Event of Default has been cured or
waived. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

No Holder of any Note will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or for any remedy hereunder, unless
such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default and unless also the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have made written request, and offered
reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount the outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request and
shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days. Such limitations do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a Holder of Notes for enforcement of payment of principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Notes. 
 Section 6.03. Other Remedies. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 The
Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising

  

 -57- 

 
any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the
extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on
behalf of the Holders of all Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes
(including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related
payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

 Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, (i) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the
Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, and (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent
with such direction. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Indenture, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the direction or request of any Holder, unless such Holder shall
offer to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on
Suits. 
 A Holder of Notes may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or Notes only if: 

(a) such Holder gives to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing or the Trustee receives such
notice from the Company; 
 (b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if
requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of such
security or indemnity; and 
 (e) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 
 A Holder may not use this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain or seek to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 
  

 -58- 

 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 

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

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

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or
any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other securities or property payable or deliverable upon the exchange of the Notes or on any such

Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any
such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of
the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of
reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Third: without duplication, to the Holders for any other Obligations owing to the Holders under this Indenture and the
Notes; and 
 Fourth: 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 of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.

 Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in 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 of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 

ARTICLE 7. 

TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01.
Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to any direction received by
the requisite Holders, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the

reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture
at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
  

 -61- 

 (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a Default or Event of Default unless a

Section 12.02 hereof. 
 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or
any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it
shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of
any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this

of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a

remain outstanding, the Trustee will deliver to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). For the year 2010, no report need be transmitted pursuant to this Section 7.06 if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred since the date hereof. The Trustee also will
comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 
 (b) A
copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders will be mailed by the Trustee to the Company and filed by the Trustee with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The

defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability
or expense may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the
Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one such counsel (except as
provided in the first sentence of this Section 7.07(b)). The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall deliver a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07
hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

 ARTICLE 8. 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof be applied to all
outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and
Discharge. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.02, the Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set
forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which
will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations
under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: 
 (a) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 

(b) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes under Article 2 and Sections 4.01 and 4.02 hereof;

 (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Company’s obligations in
connection therewith; and 
 (d) this Article 8. 

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

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the
Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07 through Section 4.16 hereof and Section 4.03,
Section 4.04, Section 4.05 and Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”),
and the outstanding Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall
continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the

  

 -65- 

 
outstanding Notes, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under
Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(c), Section 6.01(d), Section 6.01(e) and 6.01(h) hereof
will not constitute Events of Default. 
 Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

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

 (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in
U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities rated AAA or better by S&P and Aaa by Moody’s, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be; 

(b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: 
 (1) the Company has
received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 
 (2) since the date of
this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based
thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders 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 8.03 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss
for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

 (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other
than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings); 

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under this Indenture (other than a Default or Event of Default 
  

 -66- 

 
resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposits and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings) or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound; 

(f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by
the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others; 

(g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion
may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and 

(h) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, stating that assuming no intervening bankruptcy
of the Company between the date of deposit and the 124th day following the date of deposit and that no Holder is an insider of the Company, after the 124th day following the date of deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally. 
 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (b) above with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or
(y) will become due and payable on the maturity date or a redemption date within one year under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
Company. 
 Section 8.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or any Subsidiary acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes
of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or
non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the
outstanding Notes. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the
Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
  

 -67- 

 Section 8.06. Repayment to the Company. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter be permitted to 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, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York
Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of
such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 8.07. Reinstatement. 

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

ARTICLE 9.

 Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

(a) Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or
any Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Section 6.04 and Section 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default, other than a Default or Event of Default
in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or any Guarantees may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. 

 

 -69- 

 (b) Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the
execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, Notes or Guarantees and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the
documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture, Notes or Guarantees unless such amended or supplemental Indenture, Notes or
Guarantees directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture,
Notes or Guarantees. 
 (c) It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to deliver such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity
of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Section 6.04 and Section 6.07 hereof, compliance by the Company or the Guarantors in a particular instance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or any
Guarantees may be waived by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class. However, without the consent of each Holder
affected thereby, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not: 
 (1) reduce the
amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment; 
 (2) reduce the rate of or change or have the
effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Notes; 
 (3) reduce
the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any Notes, or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption or reduce the redemption price therefor, other than prior to the Company’s obligation
to purchase Notes under provisions relating to the Company’s obligation to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control or to make and consummate a Net Proceeds Offer with respect to any Asset Sale;

 (4) make any Notes payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; 

(5) make any change in provisions of this Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of
and interest on such Note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of
the payment default that resulted from such acceleration), or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default; 

(6) after the Company’s obligation to purchase Notes arises thereunder, amend, change or modify in any material
respect the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control or make and consummate a Net Proceeds Offer with respect to any Asset Sale that has been consummated or, after such Change of
Control has occurred or such Asset Sale has been consummated, modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto; 
  

 -70- 

 (7) modify or change any provision of this Indenture or the related
definitions affecting the ranking of the Notes or any Guarantee in a manner which adversely affects the Holders; 

(8) release any Guarantor that is a Material Subsidiary from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture
otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or 
 (9) modify or change the amendment
provisions of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in a amended or supplemental indenture that complies with
the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder
of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder
of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its
terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company
in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver. 
 Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. 

The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement
does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company and the Guarantors may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until their respective Boards of Directors approve it. In executing any amended
or supplemental indenture, Notes or Guarantees, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture, Notes or Guarantee is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

 ARTICLE 10. 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 10.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. 

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or
exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes issued hereunder, when: 

(a) either: 

(1) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced
or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation;
or 
 (2) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (A) have become due and
payable or (B) will become due and payable within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year, under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at
the expense, of the Company, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a
combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be, together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption,
as the case may be; 
 (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture;
and 
 (c) the Company has delivered an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee
(which opinion may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause
(2) of clause (a) of this Section 10.01, the provisions of Section 10.02 and Section 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 10.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07
hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 Section 10.02. Application of Trust
Money. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 10.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the

  

 -72- 

 
Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been
deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 If
the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof; provided that if
the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any such Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from
the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE 11. 

GUARANTEES 
 Section 11.01.
Guarantees. 
 (a) Each Guarantor shall jointly and severally, fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the Notes
and obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, that: (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on the Notes shall be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise (including, without limitation, the amount that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under
Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or
thereunder shall be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same shall be paid in full
when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Each of the Guarantees shall be a guarantee of payment and not of collection. 

(b) Each Guarantor shall agree that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to
enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. 

(c) Each Guarantor shall waive the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for 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 or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be discharged as to any
Note except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Note and such Guarantee or as provided for in this Indenture. Each of the Guarantors shall agree that, in the event of a default in payment of principal or premium, if any or
interest on such Note, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Note, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce such Guarantor’s Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an 
  

 -73- 

 
Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the
Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, such Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such
rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders. 
 (d) If any Holder or the Trustee is
required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such
Holder, the Guarantee of each of the Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. This Section 11.01(d) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by the
Trustee or any Holder in reliance upon such amount required to be returned. This Section 11.01(d) shall survive the termination of this Indenture. 

(e) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each 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 6 hereof for the purposes of the Guarantee of such Guarantor, 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 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each
Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee of such Guarantor. 
 Section 11.02. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. 

To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor agrees that a notation of such Guarantee substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Such notation of Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of such Guarantor by an officer of such Guarantor (or, if an officer is
not available, by a board member or director) on behalf of such Guarantor by manual or facsimile signature. In case the officer, board member or director of such Guarantor who shall have signed such notation of Guarantee shall cease to be such
officer, board member or director before the Note on which such Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered as though the Person who signed such notation
of Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer, board member or director. 
 Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee set forth
in Section 11.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect and apply to all the Notes notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof
hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 Section 11.03.
Severability. 
 In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 11.04.
Limitation on Guarantors’ Liability. 
 Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is
the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent

  

 -74- 

 
Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or the provisions of its local law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders
and Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after
giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor
under its Guarantee constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 Section 11.05. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain
Terms. 
 Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.05, a Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its assets, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless: 

(a) immediately after giving effect to such transactions, no Default or Event of Default exists; and 

(b) either: 

(1) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture and its Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or 

(2) the Net Cash Proceeds of any such sale or other disposition of a Guarantor are applied in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.11 hereof. 
 In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption
by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be
performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. All the Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank
and benefit under this Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 

Except as set forth in Article 4 and Article 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this
Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety to the Company or another Guarantor. 
 Section 11.06. Releases Following Sale of Assets and Other Events. 

Any Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee without any further
action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder: 
 (a) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all
or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary, if sale or other disposition is made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.11 hereof; 
  

 -75- 

 (b) in connection with any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor
to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale is made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.11 hereof; 

(c) in connection with any transaction following which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary
immediately after giving effect to such transaction if such transaction is made in accordance with Section 4.11; 

(d) upon the discharge or release of all guarantees of such Guarantor, and all pledges of property or assets of such
Guarantor securing all other Indebtedness of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, which resulted in the creation of such Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.16; or 

(e) if the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option pursuant to Sections 8.02 or 8.03
hereof or if its obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 
 Upon
delivery to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which may be subject to certain qualifications) to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture, including without limitation Sections 4.11 and 4.16 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee. 

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest
on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 11. 
 Section 11.07.
Release of a Guarantor. 
 Any Guarantor that is designated by the Board of Directors of the Company as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture shall, at such time, be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged of its obligations under its Guarantee without any further action on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder. The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt of the Company’s request for such release accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this
Section 11.07. 
 Section 11.08. Benefits Acknowledged. 

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

8.125% Senior Notes due 2018 

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

 (1) INTEREST. Equinix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note at 8.125% per annum from March 3, 2010 until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the
next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance;
provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such
next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be September 1, 2010. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed daily on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. 
 (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons
who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 15 or August 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date,
except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or
without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of
immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such
payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying
Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in the capacity of Paying Agent or Registrar. 

(4) INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of March 3, 2010 (the “Indenture”),
by and between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of this Note include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture

redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that: 

(1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional
Notes) issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding notes held by the Company and its subsidiaries); and 

(2) the redemption must occur within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 

(c) On or after March 1, 2014, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes, on any one or more occasions, at the redemption

(b) If a Change of Control occurs, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each
Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued
and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the

 (9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for
redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the
period between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 (10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered
Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 (11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to
certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any,

 A-5

notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement and (ii) as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 4.03 of the Indenture); (iv) the failure to pay at final maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace
periods and any extensions thereof) the stated principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness (which acceleration is not
rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 20 days of receipt by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration) if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other
such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final stated maturity or which has been so accelerated (in each case with respect to which the 20-day period described above has passed), equals $50.0 million or more at any time;
(v) failure by the Company to pay final non-appealable judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in amounts aggregating in excess of $50.0 million, which
judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; (vi) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would

Subsidiary and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or (viii) any Guarantee of a Guarantor that is a Material Subsidiary (or group of Guarantors that would constitute a Material Subsidiary) or any material

its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture). 
 If any Event of
Default with respect to outstanding Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes
to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” and the same shall be immediately due and payable. 

 

 A-6 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain
events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes
except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from
Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or premium, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the
Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the
Indenture, and the Company is required, within five Business Days of any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 

(13) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 

(14) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, agent, stockholder or
Affiliate of the Company, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or under the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. No past, present or
future director, officer, employee, incorporator, agent, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the Guarantors, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Guarantors under any Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liabilities. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes and any
Guarantees.

Trustee or an authenticating agent. 
 (16) 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).

 (17) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed
on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

 D-2Equinix, Inc. 2010 Incentive Plan

 Exhibit 10.41 

EQUINIX 2010 INCENTIVE PLAN 

JANUARY 1, 2010 

PLAN OBJECTIVES 

Equinix, Inc. (the “Company”) offers the 2010 Incentive Plan to eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to provide them with the
opportunity to participate in Company performance. It is designed to motivate employees to achieve certain Company objectives while providing competitive total rewards for key positions and retaining top talent. 

PLAN FEATURES 

ELIGIBILITY/PARTICIPATION 
 All full-time
and part-time employees of the Company and employees of the Company’s subsidiaries have the possibility of receiving a target bonus under the 2010 Incentive Plan, provided the conditions set out below are met. Commissioned sales employees are
not eligible to participate. Full-time and part-time new hires become eligible to participate in the 2010 Incentive Plan as of their hire date. The maximum target bonus that an employee not employed by the Company or a participating subsidiary at
the beginning of the year may receive, however, will be a percentage of a target bonus equal to that percentage of the year he/she was employed by the Company or a participating subsidiary and is subject to the conditions set out below being met. An
employee with a start date on or after October 1st will not be eligible to participate in the 2010 Incentive Plan. 
 To be eligible to
receive a target bonus, the employee must be employed by the company or a participating subsidiary at the date when the bonus amount is determined pursuant to the paragraph entitled “Payment of Awards” below, and for avoidance of doubt, an
employee is not eligible to receive a bonus under the 2010 Incentive Plan if on the date a target bonus is to be paid: 
  

	 	•	 	 he/she is on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP); 

  

	 	•	 	 he/she is on notice (whether given or received) termination of employment; 

 

	 	•	 	 he/she is on garden or similar non-paid leave; and 

  

	 	•	 	 he/she is suspended from his/her duties for any reason and/or is subject to ongoing disciplinary proceedings. 

Payouts will be pro-rated over the period based on the position the employee held during the performance period. For example, if an employee is promoted
from Senior Manager to Director, his/her bonus will be calculated based upon the number of days in each position. As another example, if an employee is promoted from a non-commissioned position to a commissioned sales position, his/her bonus will be
pro-rated based on the number of days worked in a non-commissioned position. Subject to applicable laws, an employee on an approved leave of absence (not considered as effective work time) from the Company or a participating subsidiary will be
eligible for the pro-rated bonus amount based on the number of days worked as an active employee during the 2010 calendar year. 

 Any bonus payment made under the 2010 Incentive Plan will not form part of an employee’s pensionable
salary. 
 The plan year is effective January 1, 2010 and will end on December 31, 2010. Where bonuses are awarded under the 2010
Incentive Plan, they will be paid after plan year-end. 
 TARGET BONUSES 

Target bonuses are based on a percentage of the employee’s annual base salary. An employee’s target bonus percentage may be modified from time
to time, for example, due to changes in the Company’s financials or salary changes, until the end of the plan year. 
 The 2010 Incentive
Plan includes an individual performance component. Bonus awards are linked to employee performance and are intended to reward achievement of key results at both the Company and individual level. Employee performance will be measured by an annual
performance review. If the Company exceeds the approved operating plan for EBITDA, then top performers may earn up to 150% of target bonus awards. Employees may receive less than their targeted bonus based upon Company and individual performance.
The degree to which the employee achieves his/her targeted bonus amount (e.g., less than, equal to, or greater than the target percentage) is the degree to which both the employee and the Company achieve key performance goals throughout the year.

 In addition, at its discretion the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) may reduce or
eliminate the actual award that otherwise would be payable should economic conditions warrant it. 
 PAYMENT OF AWARDS 

Individual awards are determined once the plan year has ended and the Compensation Committee has decided any amounts to be awarded. Where individual
awards are to be paid, they will be paid as soon after the close of the calendar year as practical. It is intended that payment will be made no event later than required to ensure that no amount paid or to be paid hereunder shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 FORM OF PAYMENT 

Each award shall be paid in cash in a single lump sum. The Company shall withhold all required taxes and charges from an award, including any federal,
state, local or other taxes and social insurance contributions. Amounts will be determined by the Company in U.S. dollars, but may be paid to employees outside the United States in local currency. 

PLAN ADMINISTRATION 
 The Plan is
discretionary in nature, and the Compensation Committee may suspend, modify or terminate the 2010 Incentive Plan at any time without advance notice. The CEO of the Company will have the final decision over any interpretations or disputes regarding
the 2010 Incentive Plan. 
  

 2 

 
All determinations and decisions made by the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors, or the CEO pursuant to the provisions of the 2010 Incentive Plan shall be final, conclusive and
binding on all persons and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law. 
 COMPANY PERFORMANCE AND FUNDING OF INCENTIVE POOL 

 The funding level of the Incentive Pool will be based on Company performance against an EBITDA goal, as set forth in the Board of
Directors-approved operating plan, adjusted from time to time throughout the plan year. The EBITDA goal will exclude the impact of one-time events affecting the operating plan, such as expansion projects or acquisitions not contemplated in the
operating plan and will exclude the impact of fluctuations in foreign currencies against the foreign currency rates applied in the FY2010 budget. The specific EBITDA goal for 2010 shall be as set forth on a “Design Criteria” established
prior to the end of the first quarter. 
 The Design Criteria shall be as follows: 

One hundred percent (100%) of the Incentive Pool shall be funded if the Company hits its operating plan for EBITDA for 2010, subject to the
discretion retained by the Compensation Committee to reduce or eliminate the actual award that otherwise would be payable based upon achieving this goal. For every 1% below operating plan for EBITDA, the Incentive Pool shall be reduced by 20%. For
instance, if the Company is 2% below operating plan, only 60% of the Incentive Pool shall be funded. There shall be no Incentive Pool if EBITDA is 95% or less of the approved operating plan. 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 Nothing in the 2010
Incentive Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or its subsidiary or affiliate, as applicable, to terminate any employee’s employment or service at any time, with or without cause. Except to the extent provided
by applicable law or pursuant to a written agreement between the employee and the Company or its subsidiary or affiliate, employment with the Company or its subsidiary or affiliates is on an at-will basis only. Nothing in this 2010 Incentive Plan
shall constitute an employment agreement between an employee and the Company. 
 Each award that may become payable under the 2010 Incentive
Plan shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Company. No amounts awarded or accrued under the Plan shall be funded, set aside, subject to interest payment or otherwise segregated prior to payment. The obligation to pay awards under the
2010 Incentive Plan shall at all times be an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. Employees shall have the status of general creditors of the Company. Any bonus or award payable under the 2010 Incentive Plan is voluntary and occasional
and does not create any contractual or other right to receive grants in future years or benefits in lieu of such awards. 
 The 2010 Incentive
Plan and all awards shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to their conflict-of-law provisions.
