 7. Payments and Other Entitlements As a Result of Termination. Employee’s sole
entitlements as a result of a termination under Paragraph 6 shall be as set forth below. 
 (a) Death or
Disability. Following termination due to death or Disability, Employee (or Employee’s estate, as applicable) shall be entitled to payment of Employee’s then-current Base Salary through the date of termination and for a period of three
(3) months thereafter (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices), amounts accrued or payable under any Benefit Plans (payable at such times as provided therein), any accrued but unused vacation time, any amounts
payable for any unreimbursed business expenses, any amount that otherwise would have been payable in the current year on account of the prior year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant, and an amount on account of the current year’s Cash Bonus Plan
grant (pro-rated through the date of termination, and assuming achievement of performance targets at 100%) (in the case of each of the last two amounts, payable at such time as otherwise applicable absent such death or Disability). Except as
otherwise provided herein, any amounts payable to Employee (or Employee’s estate, as applicable) pursuant to this subparagraph (a) shall be paid no later than the 90th day following the date of termination. In addition, Employee’s stock options and restricted stock grants shall
automatically vest in full, and the stock options shall remain exercisable for the balance of their remaining terms. 
 (b) Termination With Cause by the Company or Termination Without Good Reason by Employee. If Employee’s employment terminates as a result of a Termination With Cause or Termination Without
Good Reason, then subject to the provisions of subparagraph 8(c), Employee shall be entitled only to payment of Employee’s then-current Base Salary through the date of termination (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll
practices), amounts accrued or payable under any Other Benefit Plans (payable at such times as provided therein), any accrued but unused vacation time, any amounts payable for any unreimbursed business expenses, and any amount that otherwise would
have been payable in the current year on account of the prior year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant (payable at such time as otherwise applicable absent such termination). Except as otherwise provided herein, any amounts payable to Employee pursuant to
this subparagraph (b) shall be paid no later than the 90th day following the date of termination. 
 (c) Termination Without Cause by the
Company or Termination With Good Reason by Employee. If Employee’s employment is terminated as a result of a Termination Without Cause or Termination With Good Reason, and subject to Employee’s entering into an agreement containing a
release by Employee of the Company with respect to all matters relating to Employee’s employment and the termination thereof (other than rights under this Agreement which by their express terms continue following termination of employment and
any vested rights under any compensation or benefit plan or program) within thirty (30) days following the date of termination, in a form and containing terms as the Company customarily requires of terminated employees receiving salary
continuation payments: 
 (i) Provided Employee is alive at the time of payment or receipt thereof, Employee shall be entitled
to: (A) receive Employee’s then-current Base Salary in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices; and (B) participate in the Company’s health and welfare benefit plans and programs at the same cost to Employee
as is applicable to active employees; in each case for the period of time set forth on Schedule 1 following the date of termination. Employee’s rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, as amended
(“COBRA”) shall run concurrently with Employee’s participation during such period of time. To the extent the provision of health and welfare benefits to Employee pursuant to subparagraph (B) above constitutes a “deferral of
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and its implementing regulations and guidance, the provision of such benefits shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
subparagraph 13(a). 

  
 5 

 (ii) Employee shall also receive payment of Employee’s
then-current Base Salary through the date of termination (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices); amounts accrued or payable under any Benefit Plans (payable at such times as provided therein); any accrued but
unused vacation time; any amounts payable for any unreimbursed business expenses; and any amount that otherwise would have been payable in the current year on account of the prior year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant payable at such time as otherwise
applicable absent such termination). Except as otherwise provided herein, any amounts payable to Employee pursuant to this subparagraph (ii) shall be paid no later than the 90th day following the date of termination. 
 (iii) Employee shall be obligated to seek reasonable other employment during the period in which Employee receives salary continuation payments under subparagraph (i) above, and the Company may
request reasonable periodic written reports evidencing Employee’s efforts to obtain such employment. Such salary continuation payments shall be subject to reduction in the amount of any salary, bonus, vested equity or other compensation earned
or received by Employee for services through employment or self-employment during or on account of the period of time of salary continuation. Employee shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of any such employment and amounts. The
Company’s obligation to continue health and welfare benefits shall cease upon Employee’s eligibility for health and welfare benefits from any subsequent employer. 
 (iv) Provided Employee is alive at the time of payment, Employee shall be entitled to receive payment on account of: (A) the current year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant, without proration; and
(B) the following year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant, pro-rated based on the number of full months of employment in the year of termination; in each case, assuming achievement of performance targets at 100% (payable at such times as otherwise
applicable absent such termination). 
 (v) Provided Employee is alive at the time of vesting, Employee shall have the right to
continued vesting of Stock Option Plan and Restricted Stock Plan grants through the period of time set forth on Schedule 1, as if there had been no termination of employment (subject to the achievement of any performance conditions in Restricted
Stock Plan grants). Provided Employee is alive at the time of exercise, Employee shall have the right to exercise any vested Stock Option Plan grants through the period of time set forth on Schedule 1.

 8. Non-Solicitation; Non-Competition; Confidentiality. Employee acknowledges and
agrees that: Employee’s skills, experience, knowledge and reputation are of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company; Employee is and will continue to be privy to confidential and proprietary information, processes and know-how of
the Company, the confidentiality of which has significant value to the Company and its future success; and the restrictions on Employee’s activities as set forth below are necessary to protect the value of the goodwill and other tangible and
intangible assets of the Company. Based upon the foregoing, Employee agrees as follows: 
 (a) While employed by the Company
(whether during the Term or thereafter), and for a period of one year after termination of Employee’s employment for any reason (whether during the Term or thereafter), Employee shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) hire any employee of
the Company (other than as a result of a general solicitation); (ii) solicit, induce, encourage or attempt to influence any employee, customer, consultant, independent contractor, service provider or supplier of the Company to cease to do
business or terminate the employment or other relationship with the Company; or (iii) assist any other person, firm or entity in doing or performing any of the acts that Employee is prohibited from doing under subparagraphs (i) or
(ii) above. 
 (b) (i) WHILE EMPLOYED BY THE COMPANY (WHETHER DURING THE TERM OR THEREAFTER), AND FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR
AFTER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYEE’S EMPLOYMENT PRIOR TO THE REGULAR END DATE BY EMPLOYEE (OTHER THAN AS A RESULT OF A TERMINATION WITH GOOD REASON) OR BY THE COMPANY AS A RESULT OF A TERMINATION WITH CAUSE, EMPLOYEE SHALL NOT, DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, ENGAGE OR BE FINANCIALLY INTERESTED IN (AS AN AGENT, CONSULTANT, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, OFFICER, OWNER, PARTNER, MEMBER, PRINCIPAL OR OTHERWISE), ANY ACTIVITIES FOR A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS. A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS
MEANS A BUSINESS (WHETHER CONDUCTED BY AN ENTITY OR INDIVIDUAL, INCLUDING EMPLOYEE IN SELF-EMPLOYMENT) THAT IS ENGAGED IN COMPETITION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THROUGH ANY ENTITY CONTROLLING, CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH SUCH BUSINESS,
WITH ANY OF THE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES CARRIED ON BY THE COMPANY OR BEING PLANNED BY THE COMPANY WITH EMPLOYEE’S PARTICIPATION. 
 (ii) TO APPROPRIATELY TAKE ACCOUNT OF THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT OF THE COMPANY’S BUSINESSES, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY BUSINESS ENGAGED IN ANY OF THE ACTIVITIES SET FORTH ON SCHEDULE 2
SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS UNDER SUBPARAGRAPH (i) ABOVE. 

  
 7 

 (iii) THIS RESTRICTION SHALL APPLY IN ANY GEOGRAPHIC AREA IN THE WORLD IN WHICH THE COMPANY
CARRIES OUT BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. EMPLOYEE AGREES THAT NOT SPECIFYING A MORE LIMITED GEOGRAPHIC AREA IS REASONABLE IN LIGHT OF THE BROAD GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE OF THE ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT BY THE COMPANY IN THE WORLD. 

(iv) For purposes of clarification of their intent, the parties agree that subparagraph (i) above restricts Employee from
working on the account, or otherwise for the benefit, of a Competitive Business as a result of Employee’s working as an employee, consultant or in any other capacity for a company or other entity that provides consulting, advisory, lobbying or
similar services to other businesses. 
 (v) Nothing herein shall prevent Employee from owning for investment up to one percent
(1%) of any class of equity security of an entity whose securities are traded on a national securities exchange or market. 

(c) IF EMPLOYEE TERMINATES EMPLOYMENT (OTHER THAN AS A RESULT OF A TERMINATION WITH GOOD REASON) AT ANY TIME FOLLOWING THE REGULAR END
DATE, THEN PROVIDED THE COMPANY SO ELECTS BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO EMPLOYEE GIVEN WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF SUCH TERMINATION: (i) THE PROVISIONS OF SUBPARAGRAPH (b) ABOVE SHALL APPLY TO EMPLOYEE FOR A ONE-YEAR PERIOD FOLLOWING SUCH
TERMINATION, PROVIDED THAT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH THE TERM COMPETITIVE BUSINESS SHALL MEAN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ENTITIES (OR THEIR SUCCESSORS) THAT IS ENGAGED IN COMPETITION WITH THE COMPANY’S BUSINESSES, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
THROUGH ANY PARENT, SUBSIDIARY, AFFILIATE, JOINT VENTURE, PARTNERSHIP OR OTHERWISE: AT&T INC.; CENTURYLINK, INC.; DIRECTTV, INC.; DISH NETWORK CORPORATION; ECHOSTAR HOLDING CORPORATION; AND VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS, INC.; AND (ii) THE COMPANY
SHALL PROVIDE TO EMPLOYEE, FOR A ONE-YEAR PERIOD FOLLOWING SUCH TERMINATION, THE PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS DESCRIBED IN SUBPARAGRAPHS 7(c)(i) AND 7(c)(iv) ON THE TERMS SET FORTH THEREIN (INCLUDING SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF SUBPARAGRAPH 7(c)(iii)), AS IF
EMPLOYEE HAD TERMINATED WITHOUT CAUSE. 
 (d) During the Term and at all times thereafter, Employee shall not, directly or
indirectly, use for Employee’s personal benefit, or disclose to or use for the direct or indirect benefit of anyone other than the Company (except as may be required within the scope of Employee’s duties hereunder), any secret or
confidential information, knowledge or data of the Company or any of its employees, officers, directors or agents (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: the terms and conditions of this
Agreement; sales, marketing and other business methods; policies, plans, procedures, strategies and techniques; research and development projects and results; software and firmware; trade secrets, know-how, processes and other intellectual property;
information on or relating to past, 

  
 8 

 
present or prospective employees or suppliers; and information on or relating to past, present or prospective customers, including customer lists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential
Information does not include information that: (i) is generally available to the public; (ii) is available to Employee on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company, provided such source is not and was not bound by a
confidentiality agreement with the Company or otherwise prohibited from transmitting such information to Employee by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation; or (iii) has been independently developed by Employee, as evidenced by written
records. Employee agrees that Confidential Information is the exclusive property of the Company, and agrees that, immediately upon Employee’s termination of employment for any reason (including after the Term), Employee shall deliver to the
Company all correspondence, documents, books, records, lists and other materials containing Confidential Information that are within Employee’s possession or control, regardless of the medium in which such materials are maintained. Employee
shall retain no copies thereof in any medium. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Employee agrees neither to prepare, participate in or assist in the preparation of any article, book, speech or other writing or communication relating
to the past, present or future business, operations, personnel or prospects of the Company, nor to encourage or assist others to do any of the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the Company (which may be withheld in the Company’s
sole discretion). Nothing herein shall prevent Employee from: (A) complying with a valid subpoena or other legal requirement for disclosure of Confidential Information, provided that Employee shall use good faith efforts to notify the Company
promptly and in advance of disclosure if Employee believes Employee is under a legal requirement to disclose Confidential Information otherwise protected from disclosure under this subparagraph; or (B) disclosing the terms and conditions of
this Agreement to Employee’s spouse or tax, accounting or legal advisors, or as necessary to enforce this Agreement. 
 (e)
Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Paragraph 8, in light of the nature of the businesses in which the Company is engaged and Employee’s position with the Company, are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate
interests of the Company, and that any violation of these restrictions would result in irreparable injury to the Company. Employee therefore agrees that, in the event of Employee’s violation or threatened violation of any of these restrictions:
(i) the Company shall have the right to suspend or terminate any unaccrued payment obligations to Employee hereunder and/or Employee’s unaccrued rights under any compensation or benefit plans and programs hereunder or thereunder (including
in each case any arising following termination of employment); and (ii) the Company shall be entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction: (A) preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against Employee; (B) damages from
Employee (including the Company’s reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses); and (C) an equitable accounting of all compensation, commissions, earnings, profits and other benefits to Employee arising from such violation; all of
which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies to which the Company may be entitled as set forth herein or as a matter of law. 
 (f) Employee agrees that if any part of the restrictions contained in this Paragraph 8, or the application thereof, is construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such restrictions or the
application thereof shall not be affected and the remaining restrictions 

  
 9 

 
shall have full force and effect without regard to the invalid or unenforceable portions. If any restriction is held to be unenforceable because of the area covered, the duration thereof or the
scope thereof, Employee agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the area and/or the duration, and/or limit the scope thereof, and the restriction shall then be enforceable in its reduced form. 

(g) If Employee violates any such restrictions, the period of such violation (from the commencement of any such violation until such time
as such violation shall be cured by Employee) shall not count toward or be included in any applicable restrictive period. 
 (h)
Employee agrees that prior to accepting employment with any other person or entity at any time during the one-year period following termination of employment referred to in subparagraph (b)(i) or (c)(i) above, Employee will provide the prospective
employer with written notice of the provisions of this Paragraph 8, with a copy of such notice provided simultaneously to the Company. 
 9. Non-Derogatory Statements. During the period of Employee’s employment (whether during the Term or thereafter), and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, neither party shall,
directly or indirectly, engage in any communication with any person or entity, including: (i) any actual or potential employer of Employee; (ii) any actual or potential employee, customer, consultant, independent contractor, investor,
lender, service provider or supplier of the Company; or (iii) any media outlet; which constitutes a derogatory or disparaging statement – orally, written or otherwise – against the other party or, in the case of the Company, any of
its employees, officers or directors. The foregoing shall not be deemed to restrict either party’s obligation to testify truthfully in any proceeding or cooperate in any governmental investigation. 

10. Company Property. 
 (a) To the extent any Company Intellectual Property (as defined in subparagraph (e) below) is not already owned by the Company as a matter of law or prior written assignment by Employee to the Company,
Employee hereby assigns to the Company, and agrees to assign the Company in the future (to the extent necessary), all right, title and interest that Employee now has or acquires in the future in and to any and all Company Intellectual Property.
Employee shall further cooperate with the Company in obtaining, protecting and enforcing its interests in Company Intellectual Property. Such cooperation shall be at the Company’s expense, and shall include, at the Company’s election,
without limitation, signing all documents reasonably requested by the Company for patent, copyright and other Intellectual Property (as defined in subparagraph (e) below) applications and registrations, and individual assignments thereof, and
providing other reasonably requested assistance. Employee’s obligation to assist the Company in obtaining, protecting and enforcing Intellectual Property rights shall continue following Employee’s employment with the Company, but the
Company shall be obliged to compensate Employee at a then prevailing reasonable consulting rate for any time spent and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred at the Company’s request for providing such assistance. Such compensation shall be paid
irrespective of, and is not contingent upon, the substance of any testimony Employee may give or provide while assisting the Company. 

  
 10 

 (b) Employee shall use reasonable efforts to promptly disclose to the Company, or any
person(s) designated by the Company, all Intellectual Property that is created, conceived or reduced to practice by Employee, either alone or jointly with others, during the term of Employee’s employment with the Company, whether or not
patentable or copyrightable or believed by Employee to be patentable or copyrighted, including without limitation any Intellectual Property (to be held in confidence by the Company) that qualifies fully as a nonassignable invention under
Section 2870 of the California Labor Code (“Nonassignable IP”). If Employee contends that any such Intellectual Property qualifies as Nonassignable IP, Employee will promptly so notify the Company, and Employee agrees to cooperate
fully with a review and verification process by the Company. In addition, Employee will promptly disclose to the Company (to be held in confidence) all patent applications filed by Employee or on his or her behalf within six months after termination
of employment, and to cooperate fully with a review and determination by the Company as to whether such patent applications constitute or include Company Intellectual Property or Confidential Information. Employee has reviewed the notification on
Schedule 3 and agrees that Employee’s execution hereof acknowledges receipt of such notification. 
 (c) In the event that
the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure Employee’s signature on any lawful and necessary document to apply for, execute or otherwise further prosecute or register any patent or copyright application or any other Intellectual
Property application or registration, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s behalf and instead of
Employee to execute and file such lawful and necessary documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further prosecute, issue and/or register patents, copyrights and any other Intellectual Property rights registrations thereon with the
same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. 
 (d) To the extent any materials, including written, graphic or
computer programmed materials, authored, prepared, contributed to or written by Employee, in whole or in part, during the term of employment by the Company and relating in whole or in part to the business, products, services, research or development
of the Company or its suppliers, distributors or customers qualify as “work made for hire,” as such term is defined and used in the copyright laws of the United States, then such materials shall be done by Employee as “work made for
hire” under such law. 
 (e) “Intellectual Property” means any and all ideas, inventions, formulae, know how,
trade secrets, devices, designs, models, methods, techniques, processes, specifications, tooling, computer programs, software code, works of authorship, copyrighted and copyrightable works, mask works, trademarks and service marks, Internet domain
names, technical and product information, patents and patent applications throughout the world and any other intellectual property rights or applications throughout the world. “Company Intellectual Property” means any

  
 11 

 
Intellectual Property created, fixed, conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by Employee, either alone or jointly with others, whether or not such Intellectual Property is
patentable or copyrightable, either (i) that relates to the Company’s current or planned businesses or (ii) that is created, etc. during working hours, in the performance of Employee’s duties or using the Company’s
information, facilities or equipment or other assets. “Company Intellectual Property” does not include Nonassignable IP. 
 11. Representations. 
 (a) Employee represents that: 

(i) Employee has had the opportunity to retain and consult with legal counsel and tax advisors of Employee’s choice regarding the
terms of this Agreement. 
 (ii) Subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws and general equitable principles, this Agreement is

 (iii) This Agreement, and the performance of Employee’s

 12. Withholding/Deductions. All compensation under this Agreement is subject to applicable tax withholding requirements and other deductions required by law. Employee agrees that the Company is
entitled to deduct from monies payable and reimbursable to Employee hereunder all sums that Employee may owe the Company at any time. 
 13. Section 409A. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary or otherwise, except to the extent any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided to Employee does not constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and its implementing
regulations and guidance: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Employee during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses 

  
 12 

 
eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Employee in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which Employee is entitled to be reimbursed shall be
made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; and (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for
any other benefit. 
 (b) For purposes of the application of Treas.Reg.§1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any successor provision), each
payment in a series of payments provided to Employee pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed a separate payment. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any payment or benefit described in Paragraph 7 that represents a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall only be paid or
provided to Employee upon his “separation from service” within the meaning of Treas.Reg.§1.409A-1(h) (or any successor regulation). To the extent compliance with the requirements of Treas.Reg.§1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor
provision) is necessary to avoid the application of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code to payments due to Employee upon or following his “separation from service,” then notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement (or any otherwise applicable plan, policy, agreement or arrangement), any such payments that are otherwise due within six months following Employee’s “separation from service” will be deferred (without interest) and paid to
Employee in a lump sum immediately following that six month period. In the event Employee dies during that six month period, the amounts deferred on account of Treas.Reg.§1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) shall be paid to the personal
representatives of the Employee’s estate within sixty (60) days following Employee’s death. This provision shall not be construed as preventing payments pursuant to Paragraph 7 equal to an amount up to two (2) times the lesser
of: (i) Employee’s annualized compensation for the year prior to the “separation from service;” and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to section 401(a)(17) of the Code,
being paid to Employee in the first six months following his “separation from service.” 
 (d) Anything to the
contrary herein notwithstanding, all benefits or payments provided by the Company to Employee that would be deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code are intended to
comply with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, distributions may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A of the Code or an applicable
exemption.

 14. Successors. 

(a) If the Company merges into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, or as part of a reorganization, restructuring or
other transaction becomes a subsidiary of, another entity, such other entity shall be deemed to be the successor to the Company hereunder, and the term “Company” as used herein shall mean such other entity as is appropriate, and this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 
 (b) If the Company transfers part of its assets to another entity owned
directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company (or any substantial portion of them), or transfers stock or other interests in a subsidiary of the Company directly or indirectly to the shareholders of the Company (or any substantial
portion of them), and Employee works for the portion of the Company or the entity so transferred, then such other entity shall be deemed the successor to the Company hereunder, the term “Company” as used herein shall mean such other
entity, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 
 15. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY AND EMPLOYEE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EITHER THEY OR THEIR HEIRS, EXECUTORS, ADMINISTRATORS, PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED ON OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. BY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, NEITHER PARTY IS WAIVING A RIGHT TO SUE THE OTHER; RATHER, THE PARTIES ARE SIMPLY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY DECIDE THE CASE. 

 16. LIMITATION ON DAMAGES. EMPLOYEE AGREES THAT, UNLESS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
AVAILABLE IN AN APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL STATUTE OR ORDINANCE, EMPLOYEE’S REMEDY FOR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF EMPLOYEE’S EMPLOYMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL ECONOMIC DAMAGES,
AND EMPLOYEE SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED TO MAKE ANY CLAIM FOR OR RECOVER PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, COMPENSATORY (OTHER THAN BASED ON ACTUAL ECONOMIC LOSS), EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES.  

17. Jurisdiction. Litigation concerning this Agreement, if initiated by or on behalf of Employee, shall be brought only in a state
court in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania or federal court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, or, if initiated by the Company, in either such jurisdiction or in a jurisdiction in which Employee then resides or works. Employee consents to
jurisdiction in any such jurisdiction, regardless of the location of Employee’s residence or place of business. Employee and the Company irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of
forum non conveniens, which Employee or the Company may now or hereafter have, to the bringing of any action or proceeding in any such 

  
 14 

 
jurisdiction. Employee and the Company acknowledge and agree that any service of legal process by mail constitutes proper legal service of process under applicable law in any such action or
proceeding. In any such litigation, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other party for all costs of defending or maintaining such action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. 

18. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the substantive law of the Commonwealth of

respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces in its entirety the Employment Agreement dated as of January 21, 2010 between the parties, provided that any accrued rights and obligations of the parties thereunder as of the
date hereof shall be unaffected by the execution of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any plans or policies of the Company (including the Employee Handbook), the terms of this Agreement
shall control. 
 21. Invalidity or Unenforceability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision hereof and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such invalid or unenforceable term or provision (to the extent of
the invalidity or unenforceability) had not been contained herein. 
 22. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver
of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be binding upon the party against whom enforcement of such amendment or 

  
 15 

 
waiver is sought unless it is made in writing and signed by or on behalf of such party. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not
operate or be construed as a waiver or a continuing waiver by that party of the same or any subsequent breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party.

 Each party agrees as follows for the benefit of the other parties
and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders (as defined below) of the Company’s Initial Securities, Exchange Securities and Private Exchange Securities (in each case, as defined in the Rule 144A/Regulation S/IAI Appendix attached
hereto, collectively, the “Securities”): 
 Article 1 

Definitions and Incorporation by Reference

 “Additional Assets” means (1) any
property, plant or equipment or other assets or capital expenditures used in a Related Business or that replace the assets that were the subject of the Asset Disposition; (2) the Capital Stock of a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as
a result of the acquisition of such Capital Stock by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary; or (3) Capital Stock constituting a minority interest in any Person that at such time is a Restricted Subsidiary; provided,
however, that any such Restricted Subsidiary described in clause (2) or (3) above is primarily engaged in a Related Business or replaces the assets that were the subject of the Asset Disposition. 

“Additional Securities” means Securities issued under this Indenture after the Issue Date and in compliance with
Section 2.13 and 4.03, it being understood that any Securities issued in exchange for or replacement of any Initial Security issued on the Issue Date shall not be an Additional Security, including any such Securities issued pursuant to a
Registration Rights Agreement. 
 “Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person, directly or indirectly,
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management and policies
of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing. 

“Applicable Premium” means with respect to any Security on any applicable redemption date, the excess of (A) the present
value at such redemption date 

 
of (i) the redemption price of such Security on November 15, 2015 (such redemption price being described in the second paragraph of section 5 of the Securities, exclusive of any accrued
interest) plus (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Security through November 15, 2015 (but excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury
Rate plus 0.50%, over (B) the then-outstanding principal amount of such Security on such redemption date. 
 “Asset
Disposition” means any sale, lease, transfer or other voluntary disposition (or series of related sales, leases, transfers or dispositions) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, including any disposition by means of a merger,
consolidation or similar transaction (each referred to for the purposes of this definition as a “disposition”), of 
 (1) any shares of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than directors’ qualifying shares or shares required by applicable law to be held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary); 
 (2) all or substantially all the assets of any division or line of business of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary; or 
 (3) any other assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary outside of the
ordinary course of business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary 
 other than, in the case of clauses (1), (2) and (3) above,
(A) a disposition by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) for purposes of Section 4.06 only, (i) a disposition that constitutes a Restricted Payment
(or would constitute a Restricted Payment but for the exclusions from the definition thereof, including the exclusion for Permitted Investments) and that is not prohibited by Section 4.04 and (ii) a disposition of all or substantially all
the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01 or any disposition that constitutes a Change of Control, (C) a disposition of assets with a fair market value of less than $100,000,000, (D) a disposition of cash or Temporary
Cash Investments, (E) the creation of a Lien (but not the sale or other disposition of the property subject to such Lien), (F) a Hospital Swap, (G) long-term leases of Hospitals to another Person; provided that the aggregate
book value of the properties subject to such leases at any one time outstanding does not exceed 10% of the Total Assets at the time any such lease is entered into, (H) a disposition of property no longer used or useful in the conduct of the
business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, (I) a disposition of Capital Stock, or Indebtedness or other securities of, an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (J) foreclosures on assets or transfers by reason of eminent domain,
(K) a disposition of an account receivable in connection with the collection or compromise thereof and (L) any sale, disposition or creation of a Lien pursuant to a Qualified Receivables Transaction. 

“Attributable Debt” in respect of a Sale/Leaseback Transaction means, as at the time of determination, the present value
(discounted at the interest rate borne by the 

  
 2 

 
Securities, compounded annually) of the total obligations of the lessee for rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (including any
period for which such lease has been extended); provided, however, that if such Sale/Leaseback Transaction results in a Capital Lease Obligation, the amount of Indebtedness represented thereby will be determined in accordance with the
definition of “Capital Lease Obligation”. 
 “Average Life” means, as of the date of determination, with
respect to any Indebtedness, the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the sum of the products of the numbers of years from the date of determination to the dates of each successive scheduled principal payment of or redemption or similar payment
with respect to such Indebtedness multiplied by the amount of such payment by (2) the sum of all such payments. 

“Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof duly authorized to act on behalf of
such Board. 
 “Business Day” means each day which is not a Legal Holiday. 

“Capital Lease Obligation” means an obligation that is required to be classified and accounted for as a capital lease for
financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP, and the amount of Indebtedness represented by such obligation shall be the capitalized amount of such obligation determined in accordance with GAAP; and the Stated Maturity thereof shall be the
date of the last payment of rent or any other amount due under such lease prior to the first date upon which such lease may be terminated by the lessee without payment of a penalty. For purposes of Section 4.10, a Capital Lease Obligation will
be deemed to be secured by a Lien on the property being leased. 
 “Capital Stock” of any Person means any and all
shares, interests (including partnership interests), rights to purchase, warrants, options, participations or other equivalents of or interests in (however designated) equity of such Person, including any Preferred Stock, but excluding any debt

 (1) the Company becomes aware of (by way of a report or any other filing pursuant to Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act, proxy, vote, written notice or otherwise) the acquisition by any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) of “beneficial ownership” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under
the Exchange Act, except that for purposes of this clause (1) such person shall be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all shares that any such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or
only after the passage of time), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Company or Parent; 

  
 3 

 (2) individuals who on the Issue Date constituted the Board of Directors or
the Parent Board (together with any new directors whose election by such Board of Directors or the Parent Board or whose nomination for election by the stockholders of the Company or Parent, as the case may be, was approved by a vote of a majority
of the directors of the Company or Parent, as the case may be, then still in office who were either directors on the Issue Date or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of
the Board of Directors or the Parent Board, as the case may be, then in office; and 
 (3) the merger or
consolidation of Parent or the Company with or into another Person or the merger of another Person with or into Parent or the Company, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of Parent or the Company (determined on a consolidated basis)
to another Person other than a transaction following which (i) in the case of a merger or consolidation transaction, holders of securities that represented 100% of the Voting Stock of Parent or the Company immediately prior to such transaction
(or other securities into which such securities are converted as part of such merger or consolidation transaction) own directly or indirectly at least a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person in such merger or
consolidation transaction immediately after such transaction and (ii) in the case of a sale of assets transaction, each transferee becomes an obligor in respect of the Securities. 

“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

“Company” means the party named as such in this Indenture until a successor replaces it and, thereafter, means the successor
and, for purposes of any provision contained herein and required by the TIA, each other obligor on the indenture securities. 

“Consolidated Coverage Ratio” as of any date of determination means the ratio of 

(1) the aggregate amount of EBITDA for the period of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters for which internal
financial statements are available to 
 (2) Consolidated Interest Expense for such four fiscal quarters;

 provided, however, that 
 (A) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has Incurred any Indebtedness since the beginning of such period that remains outstanding or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the
Consolidated Coverage Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, or both, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness (but excluding any
Indebtedness Incurred on or after such date of determination pursuant to Section 4.03(b)) as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such period, 

  
 4 

 (B) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased,
defeased or otherwise discharged any Indebtedness since the beginning of such period or if any Indebtedness is to be repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged (in each case other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving credit
facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced) on the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period
shall be calculated on a pro forma basis as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period and as if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary had not earned the interest income actually earned during such period in
respect of cash or Temporary Cash Investments used to repay, repurchase, defease or otherwise discharge such Indebtedness, 
 (C) if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made any Asset Disposition, EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to EBITDA (if positive)
directly attributable to the assets which are the subject of such Asset Disposition for such period, or increased by an amount equal to EBITDA (if negative), directly attributable thereto for such period and Consolidated Interest Expense for such
period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged with respect to the Company
and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such Asset Disposition for such period (or, if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period directly attributable to the
Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such sale), 

(D) if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) shall have
made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person which becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) or an acquisition of assets, including any acquisition of assets occurring in connection with a transaction requiring a calculation to be made
hereunder, which constitutes all or substantially all of an operating unit of a business, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of
any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of such period and 
 (E) if
since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any

  
 5 

 
Asset Disposition, any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (C) or (D) above if made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
during such period, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset Disposition, Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of such
period. 
 For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an acquisition of assets, the amount of
income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible
financial or accounting Officer of the Company. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of
determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness is
incurred under a revolving credit facility and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness for the four fiscal quarters subject to the
pro forma calculation to the extent that such Indebtedness was Incurred solely for working capital purposes. 

“Consolidated Interest Expense” means, for any period, the total interest expense of the Company and its consolidated
Restricted Subsidiaries, plus, to the extent not included in such total interest expense, and to the extent incurred by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, without duplication (but excluding, in each case amortization of deferred financing
fees, any loss on early extinguishment of Indebtedness and any fees related to a Qualified Receivables Transaction),

(6) net payments pursuant to Hedging Obligations; 

(7) dividends paid in respect of all Disqualified Stock of the Company and all Preferred Stock of any Restricted
Subsidiary, in each case, held by Persons other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (other than dividends payable solely in Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company); 

  
 6 

 (8) interest incurred in connection with Investments in discontinued
operations; 
 (9) interest accruing on any Indebtedness of any other Person to the extent such Indebtedness is
Guaranteed by (or secured by the assets of) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; and 
 (10) the cash
contributions to any employee stock ownership plan or similar trust to the extent such contributions are used by such plan or trust to pay interest or fees to any Person (other than the Company) in connection with Indebtedness Incurred by such plan
or trust. 
 “Consolidated Net Income” means, for any period, the net income of the Company and its consolidated
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that there shall not be included in such Consolidated Net Income: 

(1) any net income of any Person (other than the Company) if such Person is not a Restricted Subsidiary, except that

 (A) subject to the exclusion contained in clause (4) below, the Company’s equity in the net income
of any such Person for such period shall be included in such Consolidated Net Income up to the aggregate amount of cash actually distributed by such Person during such period to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary as a dividend or other
distribution (subject, in the case of a dividend or other distribution paid to a Restricted Subsidiary, to the limitations contained in clause (3) below); and 

(B) the Company’s equity in a net loss of any such Person for such period shall be included in determining such
Consolidated Net Income to the extent actually funded with cash; 
 (2) any net income (or loss) of any Person
acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary in a pooling of interests transaction (or any transaction accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests) for any period prior to the date of such acquisition; 

(3) any net income of any Restricted Subsidiary if such Restricted Subsidiary is subject to restrictions, directly or
indirectly, on the payment of dividends or the making of distributions by such Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to the Company, except that 
 (A) subject to the exclusion contained in clause (4) below, the Company’s equity in the net income of any such Restricted Subsidiary for such period shall be included in such Consolidated Net
Income up to the aggregate amount of cash that could have been distributed by such Restricted Subsidiary during such period to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary as a dividend or other distribution (subject, in the case of a dividend or
other distribution paid to another Restricted Subsidiary, to the limitation contained in this clause); and 

  
 7 

 (B) the Company’s equity in a net loss of any such Restricted
Subsidiary for such period shall be included in determining such Consolidated Net Income to the extent actually funded in cash; 
 (4) any gain (or loss) realized upon the sale or other disposition of any assets of the Company, its consolidated Subsidiaries or any other Person (including pursuant to any sale-and-leaseback
arrangement) which is not sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business and any gain (or loss) realized upon the sale or other disposition of any Capital Stock of any Person;

Transactions or any future acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or similar transaction or any other non-cash impairment charges incurred subsequent to the Issue Date resulting from the application at SFAS Nos. 141, 142 or 144 (excluding
any such non-cash item to the extent that it represents an accrual of or reserve for cash expenditures in any future period except to the extent such item is subsequently reversed)); 

(10) any net gain or loss resulting from Hedging Obligations (including pursuant to the application of SFAS No. 133);
and 
 (11) any net after-tax income or loss from discontinued operations and any net after-tax gains or losses
on disposal of discontinued operations, 
 in each case, for such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purpose of Section 4.04
only, there shall be excluded from Consolidated Net Income any repurchases, repayments or redemptions of Investments, proceeds realized on the sale of Investments or return of capital to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such
repurchases, repayments, redemptions, proceeds or returns increase the amount of Restricted Payments permitted under such Section pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(3)(D). 

  
 8 

 “Contingent Obligations” means, with respect to any Person, any obligation of such

 “Credit Facilities” means one or more debt facilities (including the Credit Agreement and indentures or debt securities) or commercial paper facilities, in each case with banks or other

however, that any Capital Stock that would not constitute Disqualified Stock but for provisions thereof giving holders thereof the right to require such Person to purchase or redeem such Capital Stock upon the occurrence of an “asset
sale” or “change of control” shall not constitute Disqualified Stock if (A) the “asset sale” or “change of control” provisions applicable to such Capital Stock are not more favorable in terms of price to the
holders of such Capital Stock than the terms applicable to the Securities in Sections 4.06 and 4.09 and (B) any such requirement only becomes operative after compliance with such terms applicable to the Securities, including the purchase of any
Securities tendered pursuant thereto.

 The Securities 

SECTION 2.01. Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Initial Securities, the Private Exchange Securities and the Exchange
Securities are set forth in the Rule 144A/Regulation S/IAI Appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix”) which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made part of, this Indenture. The Initial Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Appendix which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, this Indenture. The Exchange Securities, the Private Exchange Securities and the Trustee’s certificate
of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule,
agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Securities
set forth in the Appendix and Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.02. Execution and
Authentication. Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature which may be in counterparts. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless. 

A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the
Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

  
 32 

 On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver $1,000,000,000 of 8.000%
Senior Notes Due 2019 and, at any time and from time to time thereafter, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities for original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in such order, in each case upon a written order of the
Company signed by two Officers or by an Officer and either an Assistant Treasurer or an Assistant Secretary of the Company. Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of
Securities is to be authenticated and, in the case of an issuance of Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.13 after the Issue Date, shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.03. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Securities. Unless limited by
the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has
the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 
 SECTION 2.03. Registrar and
Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the
“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes
any additional paying agent. 
 The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or
co-registrar not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any
such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any Wholly Owned Subsidiary incorporated
or organized within The United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent. 
 The
Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities. 
 SECTION 2.04.
Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. Prior to each due date of the principal and interest on any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Company
shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest
on the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall 

  
 33 

 
segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account
for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.05. Securityholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders
and shall comply with the other provisions of TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the
Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Securityholders. 
 SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. The Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer. When a Security
is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section 8-401(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met.
When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met.

 SECTION 2.07. Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a
Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and
the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security. 

Every replacement Security is an additional Obligation of the Company. 

SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except
for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security. 

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof
satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code). 

  
 34 

 If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a
redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date, such
Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 SECTION 2.09. Temporary
Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have
variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities.

 SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The
Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy (subject to the record retention requirements of
the Exchange Act) all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the Trustee to deliver canceled Securities to the
Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.11. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the
extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail to each Securityholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. 

SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and
“Common Code” numbers (in each case if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided,
however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in any “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs or
“Common Code” numbers applicable to the Securities. 
 SECTION 2.13. Issuance of Additional Securities. After
the Issue Date, the Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.03, to issue 

  
 35 

 
Additional Securities under this Indenture, which Securities shall have identical terms as the Initial Securities issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance and
issue price. All the Securities issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. 

With respect to any Additional Securities, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors and an Officers’
Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 
 (1) the
aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture and the provision of Section 4.03 that the Company is relying on to issue such Additional Securities; 

(2) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Securities; provided, however,
that no Additional Securities may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Securities to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code; and 

(3) whether such Additional Securities shall be Initial Securities or shall be issued in the form of Exchange Securities
as set forth in Exhibit A. 
 Article 3 
 Redemption 
 SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects
to redeem Securities pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date, the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the paragraph of the Securities pursuant to which the redemption
will occur. 
 The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section at least 60 days before the
redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein.

 SECTION 3.02. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee
shall select the Securities to be redeemed pro rata to the extent practicable. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of
Securities that have denominations larger than $2,000. Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts of $2,000 or any greater integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities
called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed. 

  
 36 

 SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before
a date for redemption of Securities, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address. 

The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state: 

(1) the redemption date; 
 (2) the redemption price; 
 (3) the name and address of the Paying
Agent; 
 (4) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the
redemption price; 
 (5) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the identification and
principal amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed; 
 (6) that, unless the Company defaults in making
such redemption payment, interest on Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (7) the “CUSIP” number, ISIN or “Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; and 

(8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the “CUSIP” number, ISIN, or
“Common Code” number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities. 
 At the Company’s request,
the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section. 

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for redemption become due and
payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to
the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date), and such Securities shall be canceled by the Trustee. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall
not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder. 
 SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to the
redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities to be
redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. 

  
 37 

 SECTION 3.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is
redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. The Trustee or the Paying
Agent shall 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 price for, and accrued interest on, all Securities to be redeemed.

4.02. SEC Reports. Whether or not the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the SEC, subject to the next sentence, and provide the Trustee and
Securityholders with such annual and other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation subject to such Sections, such reports to be so filed and provided at the times specified for the
filings of such reports under such Sections and containing all the information, audit reports and exhibits required for such reports. If, at any time, the Company is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any
reason, the Company shall nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding sentence with the SEC within the time periods required unless the SEC will not accept such filing. The Company agrees that it shall not take any action for
the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept such filings for any reason, the Company shall post the reports specified in the preceding sentence on its website within the time
periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC.

 At any time that any of the Company’s Subsidiaries are Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then
the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the
Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company. 
 In addition, the Company shall furnish to the Holders of the Securities and to
prospective investors, upon the requests of such Holders, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Securities are not freely transferable under the Securities Act. The Company also
shall comply with the other provisions of TIA § 314(a). 
 In addition, at any time that Parent holds no material assets
other than cash, Temporary Cash Investments and the Capital Stock of the Company or any other direct or indirect intermediate holding company parent of the Company (and performs the related incidental activities associated with such ownership) and
complies with the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC (or any successor provision), the reports, information and other documents required to be filed and furnished to Holders of the Securities pursuant to this
Section 4.02 may, at the option of the Company, be filed by and be those of Parent rather than of the Company; provided, however, that the issuance by Parent of any Indebtedness or Capital Stock shall not be deemed to prevent the
Company from exercising its option described in this paragraph to file and furnish reports, information and other documents of Parent to satisfy the requirements of this Section 4.02. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such requirements shall be deemed satisfied prior to the commencement of the exchange offer contemplated
by the Registration Rights Agreement or the effectiveness of a shelf registration statement relating to the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement by the filing with the SEC of an
exchange offer registration statement or a shelf registration statement, and any amendments thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X of the Securities Act within the time periods and in accordance with the other
provisions in the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.03. Limitation on Indebtedness. (a) The Company shall
not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be entitled to Incur Indebtedness if, on the date of such
Incurrence and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio exceeds 2.0 to 1.0. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 4.03(a), the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall be entitled to Incur any or all of the following Indebtedness: 

(1) Indebtedness of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to Credit Facilities; provided,
however, that, immediately after giving effect to any such Incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (b)(1) and clause (b)(13) below and then outstanding does not exceed $7,815 million less the
sum of all principal payments with respect to such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(3)(A); 

  
 39 

 (2) Indebtedness owed to and held by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;
provided, however, that (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (other than
to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the obligor thereon, (B) if the Company is the obligor on such Indebtedness and such Indebtedness is held by a
Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the Securities and (C) if a Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on
such Indebtedness and such Indebtedness is held by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor or with
respect to its Subsidiary Guaranty; 
 (3) the Securities and the Exchange Securities (other than any Additional
Securities); 
 (4) Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date (other than Indebtedness described in clause (1),

series of related transactions pursuant to which such Subsidiary became a Subsidiary or was acquired by the Company); provided, however, that on the date of such acquisition and after giving pro forma effect thereto, the
Company would have been entitled to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or the Consolidated Coverage Ratio would be higher after giving pro forma effect to such acquisition; 

(6) Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or pursuant to clause
(3), (4) or (5) of this Section 4.03(b) or this clause (6); provided, however, that to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness directly or indirectly Refinances Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Incurred pursuant to clause
(5), such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be Incurred only by such Subsidiary; 
 (7) Hedging Obligations;

  
 40 

 (8) obligations in respect of performance, bid, appeal and surety bonds and
completion guarantees provided by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;

Section 4.03 (other than Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clauses (5) and (14) of this Section 4.03(b) or Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(6) to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness
Refinances Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to such clause (5)); provided, however, that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Securities, then the Guarantee thereof shall be
subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness being Guaranteed; 
 (11) Purchase Money Indebtedness and any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance such Indebtedness, in an aggregate principal amount which, when added together with the amount of Indebtedness
Incurred pursuant to this clause (11) and then outstanding, does not exceed 4.0% of Total Assets; 
 (12)
Physician Support Obligations incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (13) Indebtedness Incurred
pursuant to a Qualified Receivables Transaction; provided, however, that, at the time of such Incurrence, the Company would have been entitled to Incur Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(1) in an amount equal to the
Receivables Transaction Amount of such Qualified Receivables Transaction; 
 (14) Non-Recourse Indebtedness of

 41 

 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03, (1) any
Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of the Issue Date will be treated as Incurred on the Issue Date under Section 4.03(b)(1), (2) in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of
more than one of the types of Indebtedness described herein, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) at the time of Incurrence and will only be required to include the amount and type of
such Indebtedness in one of the above clauses of Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b), (3) the Company shall be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described herein and
(4) in the case of any Indebtedness initially Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(11), (14) or (16), the Company shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to later reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness as having been
Incurred under any other clause of Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b) as long as, at the time of such reclassification, such Indebtedness (or portion thereof) would be permitted to be Incurred pursuant to such other clause or paragraph.

 (d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness where the
Indebtedness Incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, determined on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness; provided, however, that if any such
Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a Currency Agreement with respect to U.S. dollars, covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S.
dollars will be as provided in such Currency Agreement. The principal amount of any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being Refinanced will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Indebtedness Refinanced,
except to the extent that (1) such U.S. Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Agreement, in which case the Refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, and (2) the principal
amount of the Refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being Refinanced, in which case the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such excess will be determined on the date such Refinancing Indebtedness is Incurred.

 SECTION 4.06. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. (a) The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Disposition unless (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at
least equal to the fair market value (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration), as determined in good faith by the Company, of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition; (2) at least 75% of the consideration
thereof received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or cash equivalents; and (3) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Company (or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be) (A) first, to the extent the Company elects (or is required by the terms of any Indebtedness), to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase Senior Indebtedness of the Company or of a Subsidiary Guarantor or
Indebtedness (other than any Disqualified Stock) of a Restricted Subsidiary (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) within one year from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt
of such Net Available Cash; (B) second, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clause (A), to the extent the Company elects, to acquire Additional Assets within one year from the
later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash; and (C) third, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A) and (B), to make an Offer
to the holders of the Securities (and to holders of other Senior Indebtedness of the Company or of a Subsidiary Guarantor designated by the Company) to purchase Securities (and such other Senior Indebtedness of the Company) pursuant to and subject
to the conditions contained in this Indenture; provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (A) or (C) above, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
shall permanently retire such Indebtedness and shall cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased, although such requirement to retire Indebtedness
and reduce loan commitments shall not be deemed to prohibit the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries from thereafter Incurring Indebtedness otherwise permitted by Section 4.03; provided, however, that, in the case of clause
(B) above a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith
expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”); provided further that if any Acceptable Commitment is later canceled or terminated
for any reason before such Net Available Cash is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall be applied pursuant to clause (C) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.06, the Company and the Restricted
Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply any Net Available Cash in accordance with this Section 4.06(a) except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions which is not applied in accordance with this
Section 4.06(a) exceeds $100 million. Pending application of Net Available Cash pursuant to this Section 4.06(a), such Net Available Cash shall be invested in Temporary Cash Investments or applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit
indebtedness or in any other manner permitted by this Indenture. 

  
 49 

 For the purposes of this Section 4.06(a), the following are deemed to be cash or cash
equivalents: (i) the assumption or discharge of Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company (other than obligations in respect of Disqualified Stock of the Company) or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than obligations in respect of
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor) and the release of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness or other liability in connection with such Asset Disposition; (ii) securities
or other obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the Asset Disposition, to the extent of the cash received in
that conversion; (iii) Additional Assets; and (iv) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors), taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $250 million and (y) an amount equal to 3% of
Total Assets on the date on which such Designated Noncash Consideration is received (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received without giving effect to subsequent changes in
value). 
 (b) In the event of an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of Securities (and other Senior Indebtedness of
the Company or of a Subsidiary Guarantor) pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(3)(C), the Company will purchase Securities tendered pursuant to an offer by the Company for the Securities (and such other Senior Indebtedness of the Company or of a
Subsidiary Guarantor) (the “Offer”) at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such other Senior Indebtedness was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), without
premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest (or, in respect of such other Senior Indebtedness, such other price, not to exceed 100%, as may be provided for by the terms of such other Senior Indebtedness) in accordance with the procedures (including
prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in Section 4.06(c). If the aggregate purchase price of securities tendered exceeds the Net Available Cash allotted to their purchase, the Company shall select the securities to be purchased
on a pro rata basis but in round denominations, which in the case of the Securities will be denominations of $2,000 principal amount or any greater integral multiple of $1,000. The Company shall not be required to make an Offer to purchase
Securities (and other Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor) pursuant to this Section 4.06 if the Net Available Cash available therefor is less than $100 million (which lesser amount shall be carried forward for purposes
of determining whether such an Offer is required with respect to the Net Available Cash from any subsequent Asset Disposition). Upon completion of such an Offer, Net Available Cash shall be deemed to be reduced by the aggregate amount of such Offer.

 (c) (1) Promptly, and in any event within 10 days after the Company becomes obligated to make an Offer, the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee and send, 

  
 50 

 
by first-class mail to each Holder, a written notice stating that the Holder may elect to have his Securities purchased by the Company either in whole or in part (subject to prorating as
described in Section 4.06(b) in the event the Offer is oversubscribed) in denominations of $2,000 principal amount or any greater integral multiple of $1,000, at the applicable purchase price. The notice shall specify a purchase date not less
than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice (the “Purchase Date”) and shall contain such information concerning the business of the Company which the Company in good faith believes will enable such Holders to make an
informed decision (which at a minimum will include (A) the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K (including audited consolidated financial statements) of the Company, the most recent subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and
any Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company filed subsequent to such Quarterly Report, other than Current Reports describing Asset Dispositions otherwise described in the offering materials (or corresponding successor reports), (B) a
description of material developments in the Company’s business subsequent to the date of the latest of such reports, and (C) if material, appropriate pro forma financial information) and all instructions and materials
necessary to tender Securities pursuant to the Offer, together with the information contained in clause (3). 

(2) Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Offer is delivered to the Trustee as provided below, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as to (A) the amount of the Offer (the “Offer Amount”), including information as to any other Senior Indebtedness included in the Offer, (B) the allocation of the
Net Available Cash from the Asset Disposition pursuant to which such Offer is being made and (C) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(a) and (b). On such date, the Company shall also irrevocably deposit
with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) in Temporary Cash Investments, maturing on the last day prior to the Purchase Date or on the Purchase Date if funds are
immediately available by open of business, an amount equal to the Offer Amount to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section. If the Offer includes other Senior Indebtedness, the deposit described in the preceding sentence
may be made with any other paying agent pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation the Securities or portions thereof which have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company. The Trustee shall, on the Purchase Date, mail or deliver payment (or cause the delivery of payment) to each tendering Holder
in the amount of the purchase price. In the event that the aggregate purchase price of the Securities delivered by the Company to the Trustee is less than the Offer Amount applicable to the Securities, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the
Company immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this Section 4.06. 
 (3) Holders electing to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company

  
 51 

 
at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the Purchase Date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not
later than one Business Day prior to the Purchase Date, a telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased. Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered. 

(4) At the time the Company delivers Securities to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Company shall
also deliver an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Securities are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section. A Security shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the
Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder. 
 (d) The Company shall
comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 4.06. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.06, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Section 4.06 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations. 
 SECTION 4.07. Limitation on
Affiliate Transactions. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, employee compensation
arrangements or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million unless (1) the terms of the Affiliate
Transaction are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of the Affiliate Transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not an Affiliate; (2) if such Affiliate
Transaction involves an amount in excess of $25 million, the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are set forth in writing and a majority of the directors of the Company disinterested with respect to such Affiliate Transaction, if any, have determined
in good faith that the criteria set forth in clause (1) are satisfied and have approved the relevant Affiliate Transaction as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors; and (3) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in
excess of $100 million, the Board of Directors shall also have received a written opinion from an Independent Qualified Party to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries or is not less favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries than could reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time in an arm’s-length transaction with a Person who was not an Affiliate. 

  
 52 

 (b) The provisions of Section 4.07(a) shall not prohibit (1) any Permitted
Investment (other than a Permitted Investment described in clauses (1), (2) or (15) of the definition thereof) or Restricted Payment (but, in the case of a Restricted Payment, only to the extent (i) included in the calculation of the
amount of Restricted Payments made pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(3), or (ii) made pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(4) through (15)); (2) any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise
pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans, or indemnities provided on behalf of employees or directors approved by the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company; (3) loans or
advances to employees in the ordinary course of business consistent with the past practices of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, but in any event not to exceed $25 million in the aggregate outstanding at any one time; (4) the payment
of reasonable fees to directors of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries who are not employees of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (5) any transaction with the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or joint venture or similar entity
which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Restricted Subsidiary, joint venture or similar entity; (6) the issuance or sale of any
Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company; (7) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with
the terms of this Indenture that are fair to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the senior management of the Company, or are no less favorable to the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries than could reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time in an arm’s length transaction with a Person who is not an Affiliate; (8) any agreement as in effect on the Issue Date or any renewals or extensions of any such
agreement (so long as such renewals or extensions are not less favorable to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries in any material respect) and the transactions evidenced thereby; (9) any transaction pursuant to a Qualified Receivables
Transaction; (10) any transaction between or among the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary (or entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction), or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries; (11) the entry into
and performance obligations of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under the terms of any transaction arising out of, and any payments pursuant to or for purposes of funding, any agreement or instrument in effect as of or on the Issue
Date, as these agreements and instruments may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed or refinanced from time to time in accordance with the other terms of this Section 4.07 or to the extent not less favorable to the Holders in
any material respect; and (12) any purchases by the Company’s Affiliates of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries the majority of which Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock is purchased
substantially contemporaneously by Persons who are not the Company’s Affiliates; provided that such purchases by the Company’s Affiliates are on the same terms as such purchases by such Persons who are not the Company’s Affiliates.

 SECTION 4.08. Limitation on Line of Business. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, to
engage in any business other than a Related Business, except to the extent as would not be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 

  
 53 

 SECTION 4.09. Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control,
each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company purchase such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 
 (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”) stating: 

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such
Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date); 
 (2) the circumstances and relevant
facts regarding such Change of Control (including information with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization, in each case after giving effect to such Change of Control); 

(3) the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed);
and 
 (4) the instructions, as determined by the Company, consistent with this Section, that a Holder must
follow in order to have its Securities purchased. 
 (c) Holders electing to have a Security purchased will be required to
surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the
Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security which was delivered for purchase by the
Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased. 
 (d) On the purchase
date, all Securities purchased by the Company under this Section 4.09 shall be delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders
entitled thereto. 

  
 54 

 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.09, the Company shall
not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following 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 Section 4.09
applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place
for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. 
 (g) The Company shall comply, to the extent
applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section. To the extent that the provisions of any securities
laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue of its compliance with
such securities laws or regulations. 
 SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit
any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any nature whatsoever on any of its properties (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue
Date or thereafter acquired securing any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Liens, without effectively providing that the Securities shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured for so long as such obligations
are so secured. 
 Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities pursuant to the preceding sentence shall
provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien. 
 SECTION 4.11. Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any
property unless (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to (1) Incur Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.03 and
(2) create a Lien on such property securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Securities pursuant to Section 4.10, (b) the net proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection
with such Sale/Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of such property and (c) the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 4.06.

 SECTION 4.12. Future Guarantors. The Company shall cause each Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that Incurs any
Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness 

  
 55 

 
permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(2), (7), (8), (9), (12), (13) or (14) to, and each Foreign Subsidiary that enters into a Guarantee of any Senior Indebtedness
(other than Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(2), (7), (8), (9), (12), (13) or (14) and other than a Foreign Subsidiary that Guarantees Senior Indebtedness Incurred by another Foreign Subsidiary) to, in
each case, within 30 Business Days, execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will Guarantee payment of the Securities on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in Article 10 of
this Indenture. 
 SECTION 4.13. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after
the end of each fiscal year of the Company an Officers’ Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the Company they would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the
signers know of any Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Company also shall comply with TIA
§ 314(a)(4). 
 SECTION 4.14. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall execute
and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 4.15. Covenant Suspension. (a) Following the first day (a) the Securities have achieved Investment Grade Status and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, then, beginning on that day and continuing until the Reversion Date (as defined below), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture (collectively, the “Suspended
Covenants”): Section 4.03, Section 4.04, Section 4.05, Section 4.06, Section 4.07, Section 4.08, Section 4.11(a)(1), Section 4.11(c), Section 4.12 and Section 5.01(a)(3). 

(b) If at any time the Securities cease to have such Investment Grade Status or if a Default or Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reversion Date”) and shall be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with
performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Securities subsequently attain Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the
Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Securities maintain an Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind
shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Securities or any Guaranty with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring
during the Suspension Period (as defined below), or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reversion Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable
Suspended Covenants 

  
 56 

 
remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the date of suspension of the Suspended Covenants and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”

 (c) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred
pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to the Indebtedness Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and
outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b), such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so
that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(4). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 will be made as though Section 4.04 had been in
effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a). During the Suspension
Period, any future obligation to grant further Guarantees of the Securities shall be suspended. All such further obligation to grant Guarantees of the Securities shall be reinstated upon the Reversion Date. 

(d) The Company shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying the Trustee of any suspension of the
Suspended Covenants and any Reversion Date. 
 Article 5 
 Successor Company 
 SECTION 5.01. When Company May Merge or Transfer
Assets. (a) The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless:

 (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) shall be a Person
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor Company (if not the Company) shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental thereto, executed and delivered
to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture; 
 (2) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary as a result of such
transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

  
 57 

 (3) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such
transaction, (A) the Successor Company would be able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or (B) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be
greater than such ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction; and 
 (4) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if
any) comply with this Indenture; 
 provided, however, that clauses (2) and (3) will not be applicable to (A) a
Restricted Subsidiary consolidating with, merging into or transferring all or part of its properties and assets to the Company (so long as no Capital Stock of the Company is distributed to any Person) or to another Restricted Subsidiary or
(B) the Company merging with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction. 
 For purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the
Company, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company. 
 The Successor Company shall be the successor to the Company
and shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture, and the predecessor Company, except in the case of a lease, shall be released from all obligations under the Indenture and to
pay the principal of and interest on the Securities. 
 (b) The Company shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate
with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to any Person unless: 

(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not such Subsidiary) shall be a Person organized and existing under
the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Subsidiary was organized or under the laws of the United States of America, or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and such Person shall expressly assume, by a Guaranty Agreement, in a form
satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Subsidiary, if any, under its Subsidiary Guaranty; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor (x) that has been disposed of
in its entirety to another Person (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), whether through a merger, consolidation or sale of Capital Stock or assets or (y) that, as a result of the disposition of all or a portion
of its Capital 

  
 58 

 
Stock, ceases to be a Subsidiary, in both cases, if in connection therewith the Company provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee to the effect that the Company will comply with its
obligations under Section 4.06 in respect of such disposition; 
 (2) immediately after giving effect to
such transaction or transactions on a pro forma basis (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee Person as a result of such transaction as having been issued by such Person at
the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (3) the Company delivers
to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such Guaranty Agreement, if any, complies with this Indenture; 

provided, however, that clause (2) will not be applicable to (A) a Restricted Subsidiary consolidating with, merging into or
transferring all or part of its properties and assets to a Subsidiary Guarantor (so long as no Capital Stock of the Subsidiary Guarantor is distributed to any Person) or to another Restricted Subsidiary or (B) a Subsidiary Guarantor merging
with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Subsidiary Guarantor in another jurisdiction. 

(c) Parent shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of
transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to any Person unless: 
 (1) the resulting, surviving or
transferee Person (if not Parent) shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which Parent was organized or under the laws of the United States of America, or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and such
Person shall expressly assume, by a Guaranty Agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of Parent, if any, under the Parent Guaranty; 
 (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or transactions on a pro forma basis (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or
transferee Person as a result of such transaction as having been issued by such Person at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 

(3) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such
consolidation, merger or transfer and such Guaranty Agreement, if any, complies with this Indenture; 
 provided, however, that
clause (2) will not be applicable to (A) a Restricted Subsidiary consolidating with, merging into or transferring all or part of its properties and assets to Parent (so long as no Capital Stock of Parent is distributed to any Person) or
(B) Parent merging with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating Parent in another jurisdiction. 

  
 59 

 Article 6 
 Defaults and Remedies 
 SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. An
“Event of Default” occurs if: 
 (1) the Company defaults in any payment of interest on any Security
when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (2) the Company
defaults in the payment of the principal of any Security when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required purchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; 

(3) the Company or Parent fails to comply with Section 5.01; 

(4) the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor fails to comply with any of its agreements contained in this Indenture (other
than those referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after the notice specified below; 
 (5) Indebtedness of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or is accelerated by the holders thereof because
of a default and the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $125 million, or its foreign currency equivalent at the time; 
 (6) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 
 (A) commences a voluntary case; 
 (B) consents to the entry of an
order for relief against it in an involuntary case; 
 (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or
for any substantial part of its property; or 
 (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

 or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; 

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

(A) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 

  
 60 

 (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for
any substantial part of its property; or 
 (C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary; 
 or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and
in effect for 60 days; 
 (8) any judgment or decree for the payment of money in excess of $125 million or its
foreign currency equivalent at the time (other than a judgment or decree covered by indemnities or insurance policies issued by reputable and creditworthy companies to the extent coverage has not been disclaimed) is entered against the Company or
any Significant Subsidiary, remains outstanding for a period of 60 consecutive days following the entry of such judgment or decree and is not discharged, waived or stayed; or 

(9) any Guaranty ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guaranty) or any
Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guaranty. 
 The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever
the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body. 
 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for
the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 A Default under clause (4) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities notify the Company of the Default
and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. 

In the event of any Event of Default under clause (5), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any
resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Securityholders, if within 20 Business Days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers an Officers’
Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving
rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Securities be annulled, waived or rescinded
upon the happening of any such events. 

  
 61 

 In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries had previously taken an
action (or failed to take an action) that was prohibited (or required) by this Indenture solely because of the continuance of a Default (the “Initial Default”), then upon the cure or waiver of the Initial Default, any Default or Event of
Default arising from the taking of such action (or failure to take such action) and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment Default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Securities) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded,
automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders. 
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days
after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Event of Default under clause (5) or (9) and any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default
under clause (4) or (8), its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or
(7) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and
accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) with respect to
the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived
except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

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 of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in
exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are
cumulative. 
 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities
then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Security, (b) a Default

  
 62 

 
arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Security when required pursuant to this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended
without the consent of each Securityholder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. 

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to
Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper
by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not
taking such action. 
 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal,
premium (if any) or interest when due, no Securityholder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless: 
 (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 

(3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of
security or indemnity; and 
 (5) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities do
not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 
 A Securityholder may not use this
Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder. In the event that the Definitive Securities are not issued to any beneficial owner promptly after the Registrar has
received a request from the Holder of a Global Security to issue such Definitive Securities to such beneficial owner or its nominee, the Company expressly agrees and acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant
to this Indenture, the right of such beneficial holder of Securities to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Security that represents such beneficial holder’s Securities as if such Definitive Securities had been issued.

  
 63 

 SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities, 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(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the
whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07. 
 SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy
or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

 SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out
the money or property in the following order: 
 FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

 SECOND: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal and interest, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and 
 THIRD: to the Company. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for
any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall mail to each Securityholder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in
any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in

  
 64 

 
its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, 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 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities. 

SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist
upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the
Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 Article 7 

Trustee 

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs. 

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

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (2) in the
absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements
of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own wilful misconduct, except that: 

(1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section; 

(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved
that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

  
 65 

 (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05. 
 (a) Every provision
of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section. 

(b) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.

 (c) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 (d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it. 
 (e) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA. 

SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 
 (b)
Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 
 (c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or
negligence of any agent appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute wilful misconduct or negligence. 

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture
and the Securities shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and may 

  
 66 

 
otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like
rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
 SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The
Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be
responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs, is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each
Securityholder notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Security, if
any), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is not opposed to the interests of the Securityholders. 

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. As promptly as practicable after each July 15, beginning with the July 15
following the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to September 15 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of July 15 that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply
with TIA § 313(b). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be filed with the SEC and
each stock exchange (if any) on which the Securities are listed. The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Securities become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses Incurred or made by it,
including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The
Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) Incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. 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 may have
separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company need not reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense Incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own wilful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 

  
 67 

 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities. 

The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee Incurs
expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law. 

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 

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

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

(4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities and such Holders
do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the
Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of
its succession to Securityholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the
Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  
 68 

 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding
the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another
corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation, without any further act, shall be the successor Trustee. 
 In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have
been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which
it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificates of the Trustee shall have. 
 SECTION 7.10.
Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report
of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of
interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met. 
 SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has
resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated. 
 Article 8 

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance 
 SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance. (a) When (1) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to
Section 2.07) for cancellation or (2) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable, whether at maturity or on a redemption date as a result of the mailing of an unconditional notice of redemption pursuant to Article 3

  
 69 

 
hereof and, in the case of clause (2), the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Securities, including interest
thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07), and if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall, subject to
Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further effect. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and
expense of the Company. 
 (b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may terminate (1) all its
obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (2) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12 and the operation of Sections 6.01(5), 6.01(6),
6.01(7), 6.01(8) and 6.01(9) (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(6) and (7), with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries and Subsidiary Guarantors) and the limitations contained in Section 5.01(a)(3) (“covenant defeasance option”).
The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. 
 If
the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be
accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(4), 6.01(5), 6.01(6) or 6.01(7) (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(4), (5) and (6), with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries and Subsidiary Guarantors) or because of the
failure of the Company to comply with Section 5.01(a)(3). If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, each Guarantor, if any, shall be released from all its obligations with respect to its Guaranty.

 Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in
writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates. 
 (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and
(b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 7.07 and 7.08 and in this Article 8 shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections
7.07, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive. 
 SECTION 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. The Company shall be entitled to exercise
its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if: 
 (1) the Company irrevocably deposits in
trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(2) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants
expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the 

  
 70 

 
deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due
on all the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
 (3) 123 days pass after the deposit is
made and during the 123-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) with respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 

(4) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Company; 

(5) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does
not constitute, nor is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; 

(6) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (B) 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 Securityholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such 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 defeasance had not occurred; 
 (7) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Securityholders 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;

 (8) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the jurisdiction of organization of the
Company (if other than the United States) to the effect that Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for income tax purposes of such jurisdiction as a result of such deposit and defeasance, and will be subject to income tax of such
jurisdiction on the same amounts, and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance, had not occurred; and 
 (9) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Securities as
contemplated by this Article 8 have been complied with. 

  
 71 

 Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
the redemption of Securities at a future date in accordance with Article 3. 
 SECTION 8.03. Application of Trust Money.
The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this
Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities. 
 SECTION 8.04. Repayment to Company. The
Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any excess money or Securities held by them at any time. 
 Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains
unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors. 
 SECTION 8.05. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S.
Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations. 
 SECTION 8.06.
Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 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 and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, each Guaranty and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Company has made
any payment of interest on or principal of any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government
Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 Article 9

 SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities without notice to or consent of any Securityholder:

 72 

 (2) to provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the
obligations of the Company or any Guarantor pursuant to Article 5; 
 (3) to provide for uncertificated

and the Guaranties; or 
 (11) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer

 73 

 SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. The Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee
may amend this Indenture or the Securities with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Securities)
and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. However, without the consent of each Securityholder affected
thereby, an amendment or waiver may not: 
 (1) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an
amendment; 
 (2) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Security;

(6) make any changes in the ranking or priority of any Security that would adversely affect the Securityholders;

 (7) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 or the second sentence of this Section; 

(8) make any change in the ranking or priority of any Securities that would adversely affect the Securityholders; or

 (9) make any change in, or release other than in accordance with this Indenture, any Guaranty that would
adversely affect the Securityholders. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such
amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section. 

  
 74 

 SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture
or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 
 SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents and
Waivers. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if
notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of
revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the
Trustee. 
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Securityholders
entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were
Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be
Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 

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

SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the
amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 

SECTION 9.07. Payment for Consent. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, pay or
cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such
consideration is offered to all Holders and is paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

 Article 10 
 Guaranties 
 SECTION 10.01. Guaranties. Each Guarantor hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Securities when due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the
Company under this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or
in part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor and that such Guarantor will remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. 

Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also
waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (1) the failure of any Holder or the
Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or
renewal of any thereof; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for
the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (6) except as set forth in Section 10.06, any change
in the ownership of such Guarantor. 
 Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guaranty herein constitutes a guarantee of
payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 10.02 and 10.06, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to
any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever
or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not

  
 76 

 
be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any
other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or
might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 
 Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any
Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise. 
 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to
pay the principal of or interest on any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and
shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (B) accrued and unpaid
interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (C) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee. 

Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby until
payment in full of all such Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as
provided in Article 6 for the purposes of such Guarantor’s Guaranty herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the
event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.

 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) Incurred by the
Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section. 
 SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Liability. Any term or
provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this
Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

  
 77 

 SECTION 10.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article 10 shall be binding upon each
Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges
conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture. 

SECTION 10.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right,
power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and
the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 

SECTION 10.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10, nor the consent to any
departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 
 SECTION 10.06. Release of Guarantor. A Subsidiary Guarantor will be released (and, in the case of clause (5) and (6), Parent will be released) from its obligations under this Article 10 (other
than any obligation that may have arisen under Section 10.07): 
 (1) upon the sale (including any sale
pursuant to any foreclosure of any pledge or security interest, or other exercise of remedies by a holder of Indebtedness of the Company or of such Guarantor) or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of a Subsidiary
Guarantor, including the sale or disposition of Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor, following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary, 
 (2) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor, 
 (3) upon the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, 

(4) at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor does not have any Indebtedness outstanding that would have required such
Subsidiary Guarantor to enter into a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to Section 4.12 and the Company 

  
 78 

 
provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying that no such Indebtedness is outstanding and that the Company elects to have such Guarantor released from this Article 10,

 (5) upon defeasance of the Securities pursuant to Article 8, or 

(6) upon the full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture; 

provided, however, that in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, (i) such sale or other disposition is made
to a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) such sale or disposition is otherwise permitted by this Indenture and (iii) the Company provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee to the effect
that the Company will comply with its obligations under Section 4.06. 
 At the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release. 
 SECTION 10.07. Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that
makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guaranty shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary
Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

exchanged for Definitive Securities, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Security shall be returned to 

  
 11 

 
the Depository for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for certificated
Securities, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Securities Custodian for

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL SECURITY] 

8.000% Senior Note Due 2019 
  

	1.	Interest 

 CHS/Community
Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this
Security at the rate per annum shown above; provided, however, that if a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs, additional interest will accrue on this Security at a rate of 0.25% per annum
(increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum after each consecutive 90-day period that occurs after the date on which such Registration Default occurs up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.00%) from and including the date on which any
such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured. The Company will pay interest semiannually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing May 15, 2012. Interest
on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from November 22, 2011. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company will
pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by this Security plus 1.0% per annum, and it will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

 

	2.	Method of Payment 

 The
Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Securities at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities
are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided,
however, that payments on a certificated Security will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the
Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and
change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar. 

 

	4.	Indenture 

 The Company
issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of November 22, 2011 (“Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Act”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities
are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms. 

The Securities are unsecured senior obligations of the Company. The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with
Section 4.03 of the Indenture, to issue Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Indenture. The Initial Securities issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Securities and all Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities
issued in exchange therefor will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends or
distributions on, or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make investments; issue or sell capital stock of subsidiaries; engage in transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets; transfer or sell assets; guarantee indebtedness; restrict
dividends or other payments of subsidiaries; consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets and the assets of its subsidiaries; and engage in sale/leaseback transactions. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and
qualifications.

 9

all or a portion of the Securities upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount on the redemption date), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption
date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on November 15 of the years set forth below:

					
	 Period

Price	 
	 2015

	 2016
	  	 	102.000	% 
	 2017 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 In addition, prior to November 15, 2014, the Company shall be entitled at its option on one or more
occasions to redeem Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if any) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if any) originally issued at
a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 108.000%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date), with the Net Cash Proceeds from one or more Public Equity Offerings (provided that if the Public Equity Offering is an offering by Parent, a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof equal to the amount required to
redeem any such Securities is contributed to the equity capital of the Company); provided, however, that (1) at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of Securities originally issued remains outstanding immediately after the
occurrence of each such redemption (other than Securities held, directly or indirectly, by the Company or its Subsidiaries); and (2) each such redemption occurs within 180 days after the date of the related Public Equity Offering. 

Prior to November 15, 2015, the Company shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Securities at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The Company shall cause notice of such redemption to be mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption
date. 
  

	6.	Notice of Redemption 

Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to
be redeemed at his registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $2,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all
Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such
Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
 Any optional redemption and notice of redemption may, at the
Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent (including, in the case of a redemption related to a Public Equity Offering, the consummation of such Public Equity Offering). 

  
 10

Change of Control, any Holder of Securities will have the right to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of the Securities of such Holder at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus
accrued interest to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 

 

	8.	Guaranty 

 The payment by
the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Securities is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior basis by each of the Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture. 

 

	9.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

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

	10.	Persons Deemed Owners 

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

 

	11.	Unclaimed Money 

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

	12.	Discharge and Defeasance 

Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the Securities
and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. 

  
 11 

	13.	Amendment; Waiver 

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (a) the Indenture and the Securities may be amended or supplemented with
the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Securities and (b) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount outstanding of the Securities. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Securityholder, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee shall be entitled to amend or supplement the Indenture or the
Securities to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture, or to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities, or to add guarantees with
respect to the Securities, including Guaranties, or to secure the Securities, or to add additional covenants or surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company or the Guarantors, or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with
the qualification of the Indenture under the Act, or to make changes of a technical or conforming nature that are necessary (as determined in good faith by the Company) for the proper issuance of Exchange Securities and/or Additional Securities
otherwise permitted to be issued under the Indenture, or to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements therefore or to provide for the accession by such successor
Trustee to the Securities, the Guarantees and the Indenture, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder, or to make amendments to provisions of the Indenture relating to the form, authentication, transfer
and legending of the Securities. 
  

	14.	Defaults and Remedies 

Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (a) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Securities; (b) default in
payment of principal on the Securities at maturity, upon redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, upon acceleration or otherwise, or failure by the Company to purchase Securities when required; (c) failure by the Company, Parent or
any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with other agreements in the Indenture or the Securities, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (d) certain accelerations (including failure to pay within any grace period after final maturity)
of other Indebtedness of the Company and Significant Subsidiaries if the amount accelerated (or so unpaid) exceeds $125 million; (e) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries;
(f) certain judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of $125 million; and (g) certain defaults with respect to Guaranties. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Securities being due and payable immediately
upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. 

  
 12 

 Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the
Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may direct the
Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the
Holders. 
  

	15.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 

 Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and
collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 

 

	16.	No Recourse Against Others 

A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of
the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation (other than pursuant to any Guaranty). By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
  

	17.	Authentication 

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

 

	18.	Abbreviations 

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

	19.	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 Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a
convenience to Securityholders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed
thereon.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF EXCHANGE SECURITY 

OR PRIVATE EXCHANGE SECURITY] 
 8.000% Senior Note Due 2019 
  

	1.	Interest 

 CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above[; provided, however, that if a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs, additional interest will
accrue on this Security at a rate of 0.25% per annum (increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum after each consecutive 90-day period that occurs after the date on which such Registration Default occurs up to a maximum additional interest
rate of 1.00%) from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured.]1 The Company will pay interest semiannually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing May 15,
2012. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from November 22, 2011. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
The Company will pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by this Security plus 1.0% per annum, and it will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

 

	2.	Method of Payment 

 The
Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Securities at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities
are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided,
however, that payments on a certificated Security will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the
Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 

 

	1 	 Insert if at the date of issuance of the Exchange Security or Private Exchange Security (as the case may be) any Registration Default has occurred with
respect to the related Initial Securities during the interest period in which such date of issuance occurs.

	4.	Indenture 

 The Company
issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of November 22, 2011 (“Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Act”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities
are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms. 

The Securities are unsecured senior obligations of the Company. The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with
Section 4.03 of the Indenture, to issue Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Indenture. The Initial Securities issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Securities and all Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities
issued in exchange therefor will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends or

originally issued at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 108.000%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest
due on the relevant interest payment date), with the Net Cash Proceeds from one or more Public Equity Offerings (provided that if the Public Equity Offering is an offering by Parent, a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof equal to the
amount required to redeem any such Securities is contributed to the equity capital of the Company); provided, however, that (1) at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of Securities originally issued remains outstanding
immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (other than Securities held, directly or indirectly, by the Company or its Subsidiaries); and (2) each such redemption occurs within 180 days after the date of the related Public Equity
Offering. 
 Prior to November 15, 2015, the Company shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the

days prior to the redemption date. 
  

	6.	Notice of Redemption 

Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to
be redeemed at his registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $2,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all

Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
 Any optional redemption and notice of redemption may, at the
Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent (including, in the case of a redemption related to a Public Equity Offering, the consummation of such Public Equity Offering).

transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to
be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. 
  

	10.	Persons Deemed Owners 

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

 If money
for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders

	12.	Discharge and Defeasance 

Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the Securities
and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (1) the Indenture and the Securities may be amended or supplemented with
the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Securities and (2) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount outstanding of the Securities. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Securityholder, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee shall be entitled to amend or supplement the Indenture or the
Securities to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture, or to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities, or to add guarantees with

otherwise permitted to be issued under the Indenture, or to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements therefore or to provide for the accession by such successor
Trustee to the Securities, the Guarantees and the Indenture, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder, or to make amendments to provisions of the Indenture relating to the form, authentication, transfer
and legending of the Securities. 
  

	14.	Defaults and Remedies 

Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (a) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Securities; (b) default in
payment of principal on the Securities at maturity, upon redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, upon acceleration or otherwise, or failure by the Company to purchase Securities when required; (c) failure by the Company, Parent or
any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with other agreements in the Indenture or the Securities, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (d) certain accelerations (including failure to pay within any grace period after final maturity)

(f) certain judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of $125 million; and (g) certain defaults with respect to Guaranties. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Securities being due and payable immediately
upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. 
 Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as
provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain 

  
 9 

 
limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any
continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders. 
  

	15.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 

 Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and
collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 

 

	16.	No Recourse Against Others 

A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of
the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation (other than pursuant to any Guaranty). By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
  

	17.	Authentication 

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

 The undersigned represents and warrants to you that: 

1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Securities, and we are acquiring the
Securities not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of our investment in the Securities, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Securities in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its
investment. 
 2. We understand that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered,
may not be sold except as permitted in the following 

 
sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Securities to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Securities prior to the date that is
two years after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Securities (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only
(i) to the Company, (ii) in the United States to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (iii) to an institutional “accredited
investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is an institutional accredited investor purchasing for its own account or for the account of an institutional accredited investor, in each
case in a minimum principal amount of the Securities of $250,000, (iv) outside the United States in a transaction complying with the provisions of Rule 904 under the Securities Act, (v) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if available) or (vi) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (i) through (vi) subject to any requirement of law that the disposition of our
property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale
Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Securities is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (iii) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or
(7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Securities for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to
the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Securities pursuant to clause (iii), (iv) or (v) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
