Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges or increased to reflect the issuance of additional Securities. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount (or any increase or decrease in

 (d) Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be authenticated and delivered
under this Indenture is unlimited. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Securities shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made,
a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Security
conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 The Securities
may be issued in one or more series in such aggregate principal amount as may from time to time be authorized by the Company’s board of directors. Securities may differ between series in respect of any matters. 

Each series of Securities shall be created either by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions of the Company or by one or more indentures
supplemental hereto. Any such Board Resolution or supplemental indenture (or, in the case of a series of Securities created pursuant to a Board Resolution, any officer or officers authorized by such Board Resolution) shall establish the terms of any

obligation; 
 (12) whether the Securities of such series are to be issued in whole or in part in global form and, if so, the identity of

series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, except as permitted by Section 9.01(l)). 
 If the

provided, in an Officers’ Certificate of such Guarantor, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of Securities of the series, the terms of the Guarantees by such Guarantor with respect to the
Securities of the series, if such terms differ from those set forth in Article 10. 

  
 15 

 If any series of Securities shall be established by action taken pursuant to any Board
Resolution, the execution by the officer or officers authorized by such Board Resolution of an Authentication Order with respect to the first Security of such series to be issued, and the delivery of such Authentication Order to the Trustee at or
before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series, shall constitute a sufficient record of such action. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.02, if all of the Securities of any such series are not to be issued at one time,
the Company shall deliver an Authentication Order with respect to each subsequent issuance of Securities of such series, but such Authentication Orders may be executed by any authorized officer or officers of the Company, whether or not such officer
or officers would have been authorized to establish such series pursuant to the aforementioned Board Resolution. If the terms of the Securities of any series provide that any Guarantee by any Guarantor is to be endorsed on or otherwise attached to,
or made part of, Securities of any series, and if the terms of such Securities provide for the execution of such Guarantee by such Guarantor (it being understood and agreed that the terms of Securities of any series may, but need not, provide for
the execution of any Guarantee by any Guarantor), such Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by the Chairman of the Board, President or a Vice President of such Guarantor (or any other officer of such Guarantor designated in
writing by or pursuant to authority of the Guarantor’s Board of Directors and delivered to the Trustee from time to time). The signature of any of these officers on any Guarantee may be manual or facsimile. 

Unless otherwise provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture creating such series (i) a series may be
reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series, and (ii) all Securities of the same series shall be substantially identical, except for the initial Interest Payment Date, issue price, initial interest accrual date and the amount
of the first interest payment. 
 The form of the Securities of each series shall be established in a supplemental indenture or by or
pursuant to the Company’s Board Resolution creating such series. The Securities of each series shall be distinguished from the Securities of each other series in such manner as the Company’s board of directors or its authorized
representative or representatives may determine. 
 Unless otherwise provided with respect to Securities of a particular series, the
Securities of any series may only be issuable in registered form, without coupons. 
 Section 2.02. Execution and
Authentication. At least one Officer of the Company shall execute the Securities on behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 

  
 16 

 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time a Security
is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities, together
with, if the terms of such Securities provide for the endorsement thereon of any Guarantees by any Guarantor, such Guarantees endorsed thereon and, if such terms so provide, executed by such Guarantor, to the Trustee for authentication, together
with a Company’s Order for authentication and delivery and, if any Guarantee by a Guarantor is to be endorsed on such Securities, a Guarantor’s Order of such Guarantor, for the authentication and delivery of such Securities with any such
Guarantees endorsed thereon (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Securities. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall upon receipt of an Authentication Order authenticate and deliver any
additional Securities for an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such additional Securities issued hereunder. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. 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 an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the
Company. 
 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 (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a
register of the Securities (“Security Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term
“Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any
Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The
Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee
to act as the Paying Agent and Registrar for the Securities and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Securities (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01(d) for the Securities of such series). 

  
 17 

 Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Company shall require
each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest on the
Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as
Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying
Agent for the Securities. 
 Section 2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee at least two 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 the
Holders of Securities and the Company shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). 
 Section 2.06.
Transfer and Exchange. (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.06 (and except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01(d) for the Securities of such series), a
Global Security may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. A beneficial interest in a Global Security may not be exchanged for a
Definitive Security unless (i) the Depositary (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and,
in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days or (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default with respect to the Securities. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in
(i) or (ii) above, Definitive Securities delivered in exchange for any Global Security or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary
(in accordance with its customary procedures). Global Securities also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Security authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a
Global Security or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 and 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, except for Definitive Securities issued subsequent
to any of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) hereof. A Global Security may not be exchanged for another Security other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a); provided, however, beneficial interests in a Global
Security may be transferred and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.06 hereof. 

  
 18 

 The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures of the
Depositary determine that individual Securities of any series issued as Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Security or Securities in global form. In such event the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantors will execute, and
the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order for the authentication and delivery of Definitive Securities of such series and of the same terms and tenor, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form, in
authorized denominations, and in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Security or Securities in global form representing such series in exchange for such Security or Securities in global form. 

If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 2.01(d) with respect to a series of Securities issued as Global Securities, the
Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Security in global form for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form and of like terms and tenor on such terms as are
acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of an Authentication Order for the authentication and delivery of Definitive Securities of such
series, shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge: 
 (i) to each Person specified by such Depositary, a new
Definitive Security or Securities of the same series and of the same tenor and terms, in authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Security in global form; and

 (ii) to such Depositary, a new Security in global form in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the
principal amount of the surrendered Security in global form and the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Securities delivered to Holders pursuant to clause (i) above. 

Any other provision of this Section 2.06 notwithstanding, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual
Securities represented thereby, in definitive form, a Security in global form representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary, or
by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary, or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

  
 19 

 Upon the exchange of a Security in global form for Securities in definitive form, such Security
in global form shall be canceled by the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee. Securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a Security in global form pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be registered in such names and in
such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Security in global form, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee in writing. The
Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered or to the Depositary. 

Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 (b) General Provisions Relating
to Transfers and Exchanges. 
 (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate Global Securities and Definitive Securities upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security or to a Holder of a Definitive
Security for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar
governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.10, 3.06, and 9.05 hereof). 
 (iii)
Neither the Registrar nor the Company shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

(iv) All Global Securities and Definitive Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Securities
or Definitive Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Securities or Definitive Securities surrendered upon such registration of
transfer or exchange. 
 (v) The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange
any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Securities for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the 

  
 20 

 
close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
Security being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Security between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

(vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Security, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may
deem and treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Securities and for all other purposes, and none
of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (vii) Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more replacement Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 

(viii) At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination or
denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Securities or Definitive Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and mail, the replacement Global Securities and Definitive Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof. 

(ix) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this
Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 
 (x) Upon due
presentation for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company with respect to that series pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, the
Company and, if applicable, the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of such series of any authorized denominations, of like
aggregate principal amount, tenor, terms and stated maturity. At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of such series of any authorized denominations, of like aggregate principal amount, tenor,
terms and stated maturity, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. 

  
 21 

 
Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 Section 2.07. Replacement Securities. If any mutilated Security is
surrendered to the Trustee, the Registrar or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Security, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee
and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge for their expenses in replacing a Security. 

Every replacement Security is a contractual obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally
and proportionately with all other Securities duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.08. Outstanding Securities. The
Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by the Trustee in
accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a 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 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee
receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the
Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and
shall cease to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09. Treasury Securities. In determining whether the Holders of the required
principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good
faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any
obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor. 

  
 22 

 Section 2.10. Temporary Securities. Until certificates representing Securities
are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of certificated Securities but may have
variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in
exchange for temporary Securities. 
 Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Securities shall be entitled
to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Securities under this Indenture. 

Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar
and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all
Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Securities (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all
cancelled Securities shall be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the
defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities and pursuant to
Section 2.01(d) hereof for the Securities of such series. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and
payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date. At least 15 days
before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder a notice at his or her
address as it appears in the Security Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

  
 23 

 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use) and, if
so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or
as contained in any notice of 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 will
as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
 Section 2.14 Security. If so
provided pursuant to Section 2.01(d) with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series may be secured by such property, assets or other collateral as may be specified in or pursuant to Section 2.01(d). Any and all
terms and provisions applicable to the security for the Securities of such series shall be provided in or pursuant to Section 2.01(d), which may include, without limitation, provisions for the execution and delivery of such security agreements,
pledge agreements, collateral agreements and other similar or related agreements as the Company may elect and which may provide for the Trustee to act as collateral agent or in a similar or other capacity. The Trustee shall comply with Sections
313(a)(5) and (6) and 313(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and the Company shall comply with Sections 314(b), 314(c) and 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act, in each case in respect of any secured Securities that may be outstanding hereunder from
time to time. 
 Section 2.15 Subordination of Subordinated Securities. The Company covenants and agrees, and each
Holder of a Subordinated Security, by such acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner as may be specified pursuant to Section 2.01(d), the indebtedness and the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest, if any, on each and all of the Subordinated Securities issued hereunder are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company. Any and all
terms and provisions applicable to the subordination of the Securities of such series shall be provided in or pursuant to Section 2.01(d).

 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION 
 The
Company may reserve the right to redeem and pay before the stated maturity date of any series of Securities all or any part of the Securities of any series, either by optional redemption, sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation or
otherwise, by provision therefor in the form of Security for such series established and approved pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and Section 2.01(b) or as otherwise provided in Section 2.01(d), and on such terms as are specified in such
form or in the indenture supplemental hereto with respect to Securities of such series as provided in Section 2.01(d). Redemption of Securities of any series shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and, to the extent that
this Article does not conflict with such terms, the succeeding Sections of this Article. 
 Section 3.01. Notices to
Trustee. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03
hereof but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (a) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Security and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur,
(b) the redemption date, (c) the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (d) the redemption price. 

Section 3.02. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed or Purchased. If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed or
purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed or purchased (a) if the Securities are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal
national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed or (b) on a pro rata basis, by lot, in compliance with the requirements of the Depositary, or by such other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event
of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Securities to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the
outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption or purchase. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing
of the Securities selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Securities and portions of Securities selected shall be in
amounts of $2,000 or multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof; no Securities of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Securities of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Securities held by
such Holder, even if not $2,000 or a multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption or purchase also
apply to portions of Securities called for redemption or purchase. 

  
 25 

 Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. The Company shall mail or cause to be
mailed by first-class mail notices of redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address, except that redemption notices may be
mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 hereof. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. 

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

(a) the redemption date; 

(b) the redemption price; 

(c) if any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Security that is to be redeemed
and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Security representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed will be
issued in the name of the Holder of the Securities upon cancellation of the original Security; 
 (d) the name and address of
the Paying Agent; 
 (e) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the
redemption price; 
 (f) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Securities called
for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (g) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Securities
and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Securities called for redemption are being redeemed; 
 (h) that no
representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities; and 

(i) Reserved. 

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the name of the Company and at its expense; provided
that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to
by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

  
 26 

 Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is
mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Securities called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed
to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption. 

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or
purchase date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Securities to be redeemed or purchased on that date. 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 of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Securities to be
redeemed or purchased. 
 If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or
purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities or the portions of Securities called for redemption or purchase. If a Security is redeemed or purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date,
then any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption or purchase date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Security called for redemption or purchase shall not
be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and
to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities. 

Section 3.06. Securities Redeemed or Purchased in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed or purchased in part,
the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered representing the same indebtedness
to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Security will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the
contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Security.

 ARTICLE 4 

COVENANTS 

Section 4.01. Payment of Securities. The Company shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01(d) for the Securities of such series). Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered

 The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under

overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania an office or agency
(which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

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

  
 28

required by the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have furnished such information, documents or reports to the Trustee or the Holders
of the Securities as required pursuant to this Section 4.03 if it has filed such information, documents or reports with the SEC using the EDGAR filing system (or any successor electronic filing system utilized by the SEC for the filing of such
information, documents or reports) and such information, documents or reports are publicly available via EDGAR (or such successor electronic filing system). Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants
hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 Section 4.04.
Compliance Certificate. (a) The Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the Trust Indenture Act and with such determination to be made by each Guarantor) shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90
days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer stating that a review of the activities of the Company during the preceding fiscal year has been
made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that
to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every condition and covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions,
covenants and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto). 

(b) When any Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, or if the Trustee or the holder of any other evidence of
Indebtedness of the Company or any of its respective Subsidiaries gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed Default, the Company shall promptly (which shall be no more than five (5) Business Days) deliver to the
Trustee by registered or certified mail or by facsimile transmission an Officer’s Certificate specifying such event and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by resort to

 (ii) default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest on or with respect to the
Securities; 
 (iii) failure by the Company or any Guarantor for 60 days after receipt of written notice given by the Trustee
or the Holders of not less 25% in principal amount of the Securities to comply with any of their respective obligations, covenants or agreements (other than a default referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above) contained in this Indenture
or the Securities; 
 (iv) default in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation when the same
becomes due by the terms of the Securities of such series and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; 

  
 33 

 (v) Reserved. 

(vi) the Company, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(A) commences proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; 

(B) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer
or consent seeking reorganization or relief under applicable Bankruptcy law; 
 (C) consents to the appointment of a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of it or for all or substantially all of its property;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 

(viii) if Article 10 has been made applicable with respect to such Securities, any Guarantee shall for any reason cease to be
in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer of any Guarantor, as the case may be, denies that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives notice to such effect, other than by reason of the
termination of this Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture. 

  
 34 

 (b) A default under any Indebtedness of the Company other than the Securities will not constitute
an Event of Default under this Indenture, and a default under one series of Securities will not constitute a default under any other series of Securities. 

Section 6.02. Acceleration. (a) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause
(vi) or (vii) of Section 6.01(a) hereof with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Securities of the
affected series may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Securities to be due and payable immediately. 

Upon such declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. The Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate
the Securities if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines acceleration is not in the best interest of the Holders of the Securities. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 6.01(a) hereof
with respect to the Company, all outstanding Securities shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. 
 The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the affected series by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest, or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy
to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of the affected series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of the applicable series or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities of the applicable series or does not produce any of
them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Security in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of
Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of
not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the affected series by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities waive any existing Default and its consequences
hereunder, except a continuing  

  
 35 

 
Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Security held by a non-consenting Holder; provided, subject to Section 6.02 hereof, that the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the affected series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver,
such Default shall cease to exist with respect to the applicable series, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to the applicable series for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.05. Control by Majority.
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then total outstanding Securities of a series 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. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Security or that would involve
the Trustee in personal liability. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder
of a Security of a series may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless: 
 (a) such Holder
has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default with respect to the applicable series is continuing; 
 (b)
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the total outstanding Securities of the affected series have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 

(c) Holders of the Securities of the affected sereis have offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
it against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the
receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (e) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total
outstanding Securities of the affected series have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60 day period. 

A Holder of a Security may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Security or to obtain a preference or
priority over another Holder of a Security. 
 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Securities to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security, 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. 

  
 36 

 Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a)(i) or (ii) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest remaining unpaid on the Securities and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 Section 6.09. Restoration of Rights
and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee
or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted. 

Section 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

Section 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the
Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 6.12. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of  

  
 37 

 
the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Securities allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities including the
Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent
that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied
for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in
liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.13. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this Article 6, it
shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 (a) to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under
Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

(b) to Holders of Securities of that series for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, and
interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 

(c) to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct, including a Guarantor, if applicable.

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Securities pursuant to this Section 6.13. 

  
 38 

 Section 6.14. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and
the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This
Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Security pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities. 

ARTICLE 7 

TRUSTEE 

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

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

(i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need
perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.

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

Section 7.02. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as
it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and
shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 
 (b) Before the Trustee
acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or

notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company. The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Incumbency Certificate setting forth the names of individuals or titles of officers authorized at such time to
take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Incumbency Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously
delivered and not superseded. 
 (f) None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. The Trustee shall not be required to give any note, bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trusts and powers under this Indenture. 

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. 

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

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

Counsel to take certain actions as enumerated in this Indenture, shall not be construed as duties. 

  
 41 

 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 otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any
conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.10 and
Section 7.11 hereof. 
 Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes
no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction
under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in
the Securities or any other document in connection with the sale of the Securities or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee with respect to
Securities of any series, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Securities of such series a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on
any Security, or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities of such series. The Trustee shall not be deemed to know of any Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of
any event which is such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Securities. The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports
concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. If required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee
shall, within 60 days after each February 15 following the date of this Indenture, deliver to each Holder a brief report dated as of such February 15, which complies with the provisions of such Section 313(a). The Trustee shall also
comply with Trust Indenture Act Sections 313(b) and 313(c). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of
Securities shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities are listed in accordance with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities
are listed on any stock exchange. 

  
 42 

 Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee
from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of
an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Company and, if applicable, the
Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any
claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Company or any Guarantor, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or 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 their 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 reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 

The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 To secure the payment obligations of the Company and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the
Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Securities. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(vi) or
(vii) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

  
 43 

 Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee
and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust
hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

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

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

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

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

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

 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the
Company’s expense), the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10
hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the 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
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07
hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

  
 44 

 Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee consolidates,
merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities
and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The
Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b). 
 Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Company. The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act
Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it
being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities, the Securities may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any
other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities
shall be unaffected thereby. 
 Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the
conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Securities of a series: 
 In
order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Securities of such series: 
 (a) the
Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Securities of such series on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, of such
principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Securities and the Company must specify whether such Securities are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 

(b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, 
 (i) the Company has received
from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or 
 (ii) since the issuance of
the Securities of such series, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 

  
 47 

 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that,
subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal
income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will
be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(d) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and
simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under
any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which any the Company or Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make the
deposit required to effect such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 

(f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion
and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code; 

(g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or any Guarantor or others; and 

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

  
 48 

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

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

 Section 8.06. Repayment to Company. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the
Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any Security of such series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on
their request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 
 Section 8.07.
Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any
court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance 

  
 49 

 
with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Security following 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 held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Securities. Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Company, any
Guarantor (with respect to a Guarantee or this Indenture) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and any Guarantee or any or all series of Securities without the consent of any Holder: 

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

(b) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; 

(c) to comply with Section 5.01 hereof; 

(d) to provide the assumption of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders; 

(e) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect
the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 
 (f) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to
surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or any Guarantor; 
 (g) to comply with requirements of the SEC in
order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (h) to evidence and provide
for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee hereunder pursuant to the requirements hereof; 

(i) to provide for the issuance of exchange notes or private exchange notes, which are identical to exchange notes except that
they are not freely transferable; 
 (j) to add a Guarantor under this Indenture; 

  
 50 

 (k) to conform the text of this Indenture, Guarantees or the Securities to any
provision of the “Description of New Securities” or equivalent section of any prospectus supplement to the extent that such provision in such “Description of New Securities” section was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a
provision of this Indenture, Guarantee or Securities; 
 (l) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture
relating to the transfer and legending of Securities as permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Securities; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so
amended would not result in Securities being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Securities; 

(m) to make any other modifications to the Securities or this Indenture of a formal, minor or technical nature or necessary to
correct a manifest error, so long as such modification does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of the Securities in any material respect; 

(n) to establish any form of Security or Guarantees, as provided in Article 2 hereof, and to provide for the issuance of any
series of Securities or Guarantees thereof, as provided in Article 2 hereof, and to set forth the terms thereof, and/or to add to the rights of the Holders of the Securities or Guarantees of any series; or 

(o) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by another corporation as a successor Trustee hereunder with
respect to one or more series of Securities and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to
Section 7.09. 
 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or
permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own
rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent required by law, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the addition of a Guarantor under this Indenture upon
execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, and delivery of an Officer’s Certificate. 

  
 51 

 Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Securities. Except as provided below
in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of each series of Securities affected by such
supplemental indenture or indenture then outstanding voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Securities), and, subject to
Section 6.04 and Section 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on the Securities, except a payment default resulting from an
acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Securities of the affected series may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities of such series voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Securities). Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which
Securities are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the Company
accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Securities of each such series
as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture
directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 

A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture that has expressly been included solely
for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or that modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture
of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this
Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities
of each series affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended
or supplemental indenture or waiver. 

  
 52 

 Without the consent of each affected Holder of Securities of the applicable series, an amendment
or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Securities held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (a)
reduce the principal amount of such Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b)
reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Security or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Securities; 

(c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Security; 

(d) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, except a rescission of
acceleration of the Securities by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this
Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders; 
 (e) make any Security
payable in money other than that stated therein; 
 (f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to
waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities; 

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

(h) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or interest on such Holder’s Securities on or after
the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Securities; 

(i) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees in any manner adverse to the Holders of the
Securities; or 
 (j) subordinate the Securities or the Guarantees in right of payment. 

Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall
be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 

  
 53 

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

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any
amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to
such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date
unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained. 
 Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of
Securities. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Security thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Securities may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, authenticate new Securities that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to make the
appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to
this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the board of directors (or equivalent governing
body) approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by
Section 12.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture. 

  
 54 

 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 

GUARANTEES 

Section 10.01. Guarantee. Securities of any series that are to be guaranteed by the Guarantees of any Guarantors shall be
guaranteed by such Guarantors as shall be established pursuant to Section 2.01(d) with respect to the Securities of such series. The Persons who shall initially be the Guarantors of the Securities of any such series may, but need not, include
any or all of the Guarantors executing this Indenture as of the date hereof and may include any and all such other Persons as the Company may determine; provided that, prior to the authentication and delivery upon original issuance of Securities
that are to be guaranteed by a Person that is not a Guarantor, the Company, the Trustee and such Person shall enter into a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof whereby such Person shall become a Guarantor under this Indenture.
Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors of any Security of a series hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security of such series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and
its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, interest, premium on the Securities shall be
promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Securities, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the
Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations,
that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any
performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

  
 55 

 The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective
of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of
any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be
discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture. 
 Each Guarantor also agrees
to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and
effect. 
 Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of
the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed
hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of
this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantees. 

Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for
liquidation, reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Securities are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or
returned by any obligee on the Securities or Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” 

  
 56 

 
“fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned, the Securities shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 

In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 The Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a general
unsecured senior obligation of such Guarantor and shall be pari passu in right of payment with or senior to all Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any. 

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any
kind or nature. 
 Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities
of a series, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each
Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from,
rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting
a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture with respect to a series of
Securities to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in
accordance with GAAP. 
 Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01
hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor. 

  
 57 

 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Securities of any series guaranteed by such Guarantee. 

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the
Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 Section 10.04. Subrogation.
Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Securities against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Securities shall
have been paid in full. 
 Section 10.05. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct
and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

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

(a) (i) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (including any sale,
exchange or transfer), after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer an Affiliate of the Company which sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 

(ii) any conditions for such release provided with respect to Securities of such series in accordance with Section 2.01(d)
having been satisfied; or 
 (iii) the Company exercising its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in
accordance with Article 8 hereof or the Company’s obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and 

(b) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. 

  
 58 

 ARTICLE 11 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to
all Securities of a series, when either: 
 (a) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered,
except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities which have been replaced or paid and Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(b) (i) all Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by
reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, shall become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the
Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company and the Company or Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, cash in U.S.
dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Securities of such series not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 

(ii) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and
simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness) with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will
not result in a breach or violation of any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from any borrowing of funds
to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness); 
 (iii) the
Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and 

(iv) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the
Securities of such series at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be. 

  
 59 

 In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to
the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series have been satisfied. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause
(i) of clause (b) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive.

 2.2 General Duties. The Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts in performing its duties hereunder to manage, operate,
maintain and lease the Properties in a diligent, careful and vigilant manner. The services of the Manager are to be of scope and quality not less than those generally performed by professional property managers of other similar properties in the

 2.3 Specific Duties. The Manager’s duties include the following: 

 

	 	(a)	Lease Obligations. The Manager shall perform all duties of the landlord under all leases insofar as such duties relate to the operation, maintenance, and
day-to-day management of the Properties. The Manager shall also provide or cause to be provided, at the Owner’s expense, all services normally provided to tenants of like premises, including, where applicable and without limitation, gas,
electricity or other utilities required to be furnished to tenants under leases, normal repairs and maintenance, and cleaning and janitorial service. The Manager shall arrange for and supervise the performance of all installations and improvements
in space leased to any tenant which are either expressly required under the terms of the lease of such space or which are customarily provided to tenants. 

  

	 	(b)	 Maintenance. The Manager shall cause the Properties to be maintained in the same manner as similar properties in the area. The
Manager’s duties and supervision in this respect shall include, without limitation, cleaning of the interior and the exterior of the Improvements and the public common areas on the Properties and the making and supervision of repair,
alterations, and decoration of the 

  
 2 

	 	
Improvements, subject to and in strict compliance with this Management Agreement and any applicable leases. Construction and rehabilitation activities undertaken by the Manager, if any, will be
limited to activities related to the management, operation, maintenance, and leasing of the Property (e.g., repairs, renovations, and leasehold improvements). 

 

	 	(c)	Leasing Functions. The Manager shall coordinate the leasing of the Properties and shall negotiate and use its best efforts to secure executed leases from
qualified tenants, and to execute same on behalf of the Owner, if requested, for available space in the Properties, such leases to be in form and on terms approved by the Owner and the Manager, and to bring about complete leasing of the Properties.
The Manager shall be responsible for the hiring of all leasing agents, as necessary for the leasing of the Properties, and to otherwise oversee and manage the leasing process on behalf of the Owner. 

 

	 	(d)	Notice of Violations. The Manager shall forward to the Owner, promptly upon receipt, all notices of violation or other notices from any governmental
authority, and board of fire underwriters or any insurance company, and shall make such recommendations regarding compliance with such notice as shall be appropriate.

all such bills, and, if requested by the Owner, pay, when due, utility and water charges, sewer rent and assessments, any applicable taxes, including, without limitation, any real estate taxes, and any other amount payable in respect to the
Properties. All bills shall be paid by the Manager within the time required to obtain discounts, if any. The Owner may from time to time request that the Manager forward certain bills to the Owner promptly after receipt, and the Manager shall comply
with any such request. The payment of all bills, real property taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and any other amounts payable with respect to the Properties shall be paid out of the Account by the Manager. All expenses shall be billed at net
cost (i.e., less all rebates, commissions, discounts and allowances, however designed). 

  

	 	(h)	Monies Collected. The Manager shall collect all rent and other monies from tenants and any sums otherwise due to the Owner with respect to the Properties
in the ordinary course of business. In collecting such monies, the Manager shall inform tenants of the Properties that all remittances are to be in the form of a check or money order. The Owner authorizes the Manager to request, demand, collect and
provide receipts for all such rent and other monies and to institute legal proceedings in the name of the Owner for the collection thereof and for the dispossession of any tenant in default under its lease. 

 

	 	(i)	Banking Accommodations. The Manager shall establish and maintain a separate checking account (the “Account”) for funds relating to the
Properties. All monies deposited from time to time in the Account shall be deemed to be trust funds and shall be and remain the property of the Owner and shall be withdrawn and disbursed by the Manager for the account of the Owner only as expressly
permitted by this Management Agreement for the purposes of performing the obligations of the Manager hereunder. No monies collected by the Manager on the Owner’s behalf shall be commingled with funds of the Manager. The Account shall be
maintained, and monies shall be deposited therein and withdrawn therefrom, in accordance with the following: 

 (i) All sums received from rents and other income from the Properties shall be promptly deposited by the Manager in the Account. The Manager shall have the right to designate two (2) or more persons
who shall be authorized to draw against the Account, but only for purposes authorized by this Management Agreement. 

  
 3

reimbursement for expenditures, or otherwise, as herein provided, shall be a charge against the operating revenues of the Properties and shall be paid and/or withdrawn by the Manager from the Account prior to the making of any other disbursements
therefrom.

Management Agreement, the Manager shall forward to the Owner all net operating proceeds from the preceding quarter, retaining at all times, however, a reserve of $5,000, in addition to any other amounts otherwise provided in the Budget.

constitutive documents of the Owner (collectively, the “Ownership Agreements”) and is familiar with the terms thereof. The Manager shall use reasonable care to avoid any act or omission which, in the performance of its duties
hereunder, shall in any way conflict with the terms of the Ownership Agreements. 

  

	 	(l)	Signs. The Manager shall place and remove, or cause to be placed and removed, such signs upon the Properties as the Manager deems appropriate, subject,
however, to the terms and conditions of the leases and to any applicable ordinances and regulations.

services, work and supplies ordered in connection with the maintenance and operation of the Properties. Such records shall be maintained on a double entry basis. The Owner and persons designated by the Owner shall at all reasonable times have access
to and the right to audit and make independent examinations of such records, books and accounts and all vouchers, files and all other material pertaining to the Properties and this Management Agreement, all of which the Manager agrees to keep safe,

 2.6 Subcontracting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Manager may subcontract any of its duties hereunder, without the consent of the Owner, for a fee that
may be less than the Management Fees paid hereunder. In the event that the Manager does so subcontract any its duties hereunder, such fees payable to such third parties may, at the instruction of the Manager, be deducted from the Management Fee and
paid by the Owner to such parties, or paid directly by the Manager to such parties, in its discretion. 
 ARTICLE III.

 EXPENSES 
 3.1
Owner’s Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided, all costs and expenses incurred hereunder by the Manager in fulfilling its duties to the Owner shall be for the account of and on behalf of the Owner. Such costs and expenses
may include, without limitation, reasonable wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses of all on-site and off-site employees of the Manager who are engaged in the operation, management, maintenance and leasing of the Properties,
including taxes, insurance and benefits relating to such employees, and legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses which are directly related to the operation, management, maintenance and leasing of specific Properties. All costs and expenses
for which the Owner is responsible under this Management Agreement shall be paid by the Manager out of the Account. In the event the Account does not contain sufficient funds to pay all of the costs and expenses, the Owner shall fund all sums
necessary to meet such additional costs and expenses. 
 3.2 Manager’s Expenses. The Manager shall, out of its own funds, pay all of
its general overhead and administrative expenses. 

  
 5 

 ARTICLE IV. 
 MANAGER’S COMPENSATION 
 4.1 Management Fees. 

 

	 	(a)	The Owner shall pay the Manager or any of its Affiliates property management and leasing fees (the “Management Fees”), on a monthly basis, equal to:
three percent (3.0%) of gross revenues from the Properties managed. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Owner shall also reimburse the Manager for any costs and expenses incurred by the Manager in connection with managing the Properties.

  

	 	(b)	The Manager may charge a separate fee for the one-time initial rent-up or leasing-up of newly constructed Properties in an amount not to exceed the fee customarily
charged in arm’s length transactions by others rendering similar services in the same geographic area for similar properties. 

  

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager may be entitled to receive higher fees in the event the Manager can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the board of directors
of the Company (including a majority of the Independent Directors) through empirical data that a higher competitive fee is justified for the services rendered and the type of Property managed. As described in Section 2.6 above, in the
event that the Manager properly engages one or more third parties to perform the services described herein, the fees payable to such parties for such services will be deducted from the Management Fees, or paid directly by the Manager, at the
Manager’s option. The Manager’s compensation under this Section 4.1 shall apply to all renewals, extensions or expansions of leases which the Manager originally negotiated. 

4.2 Additional Fees. In the event that the Manager provides services other than those specified herein, the Owner shall pay to the Manager a
monthly fee equal to no more than that which the Owner would pay to a third party that is not an Affiliate of the Owner or the Manager to provide such services. 
 4.3 Audit Adjustment. If any audit of the records, books or accounts relating to the Properties discloses an overpayment or underpayment of Management Fees, the Owner or the Manager shall promptly
pay to the other party the amount of such overpayment or underpayment, as the case may be. If such audit discloses an overpayment of Management Fees for any fiscal year of more than the correct Management Fees for such fiscal year, the Manager shall
bear the cost of such audit. 
 ARTICLE V. 
 INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION 
 5.1 Insurance to be Carried. 

 

	 	(a)	The Manager shall obtain and keep in full force and effect insurance on the Properties against such hazards as the Owner and the Manager shall deem appropriate, but in
any event, insurance sufficient to comply with the leases and the Ownership Agreements shall be maintained. All liability policies shall provide sufficient insurance satisfactory to both the Owner and the Manager and shall contain waivers of
subrogation for the benefit of the Manager. 

  

	 	(b)	The Manager shall obtain and keep in full force and effect, in accordance with the laws of the state in which each Property is located, employer’s liability
insurance applicable to and covering all employees of the Manager at the Properties and all persons engaged in the performance of any work required hereunder, and the Manager shall furnish the Owner certificates of insurers naming the Owner as a
co-insured and evidencing that such insurance is in effect. If any of the Manager’s duties hereunder are subcontracted as permitted under Section 2.6, the Manager shall include in each subcontract a provision that the subcontractor
shall also furnish the Owner with such a certificate. 

  
 6 

 5.2 Cooperation with Insurers. The Manager shall cooperate with and provide reasonable access to the
Properties to representatives of insurance companies and insurance brokers or agents with respect to insurance which is in effect or for which application has been made. The Manager shall use its best efforts to comply with all requirements of
insurers.
