Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that, in determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Debt Securities which a Trust Officer actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Debt Securities
so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Debt Securities and that the pledgee is not the
Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities or an Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities have given any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security that shall be deemed to be Outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due

specified under Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act), the annual reports, information, documents or other reports that the Company or the Guarantor is required to file with the commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act.

Indebtedness.

Company, or the Guarantee, in the case of the Guarantors, and (2) any modifications, refunding, deferrals, renewals, or extensions of any such Debt or securities, notes

payment of principal of such security is due and payable, including pursuant to any mandatory redemption provision (but excluding any provision providing for the repurchase of such security at the option of the holder thereof upon the happening of
any contingency beyond the control of the issuer unless such contingency has occurred). 
 “Subsidiary” of any Person
means: 
  

	 	(1)	 	any corporation, association or other business entity of which more than 50% of the total voting power of equity interests entitled, without regard to the occurrence of

 (v) any other terms of the Debt Securities of the series (which terms shall not

 All Debt Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical
except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such resolution of the Members and as set forth in such Officers’ Certificate or in any such Indenture supplemental hereto. 

Section 2.4 Execution of Debt Securities. The Debt Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Executive
Officer, the President or a Vice President of the Company and, if the seal of the Company is reproduced thereon, it shall be attested by its Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, a Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer. Such signatures upon the Debt
Securities may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debt Securities. The seal of the Company, if any, may be in the form of a facsimile
thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debt Securities. 
 Only such Debt Securities as
shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, signed manually by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the
Trustee upon any Debt Security executed by the Company on behalf of the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Debt Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Debt Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Debt
Securities so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Debt Securities nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Debt Securities
had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Debt Security may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Debt Security, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at
the date of such Debt Security or of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such officer. 
 Section 2.5
Authentication and Delivery of Debt Securities. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver to the Trustee for authentication Debt Securities of any series executed by the
Company, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Debt Securities to or upon a Company Order. In authenticating such Debt Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Debt
Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon: 

(a) a copy of any resolution or resolutions of the Members, certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company, authorizing
the terms of issuance of any series of Debt Securities; 
  

 11 

 (b) an executed supplemental Indenture, if any; 

(c) an Officers’ Certificate; and 

(d) an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 13.5 which shall also state: 

(i) that the form of such Debt Securities has been established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Members or by a
supplemental Indenture as permitted by Section 2.1 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(ii) that the terms of such Debt Securities have been established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Members or by a
supplemental Indenture as permitted by Section 2.3 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(iii) that such Debt Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner
and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability; 

(iv) that the Company has the power to issue such Debt Securities and has duly taken all necessary action with respect to
such issuance; 
 (v) that the issuance of such Debt Securities will not contravene the organizational documents
of the Company or result in any material violation of any of the terms or provisions of any law or regulation or of any material indenture, mortgage or other agreement known to such counsel by which the Company is bound; 

(vi) that authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities and the execution and delivery of any supplemental Indenture
will not violate the terms of this Indenture; and 
 (vii) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably
request. 
 Such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to whether a court in the United States would render a money
judgment in a currency other than that of the United States. 
 The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and
deliver any Debt Securities under this Section 2.5 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a
trust committee of directors, trustees or Officers (or any combination thereof) shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders. 

 

 12 

 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to
authenticate Debt Securities of any series. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Debt Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee
includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, paying agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 

Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for any series, each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

 Section 2.6 Denomination of Debt Securities. Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for any series,
the Debt Securities of each series shall be issuable only as fully registered Debt Securities in such Dollar denominations as shall be specified or contemplated by Section 2.3. In the absence of any such specification with respect to the Debt
Securities of any series, the Debt Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 

Section 2.7 Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) The Company shall keep or cause to be kept a register for each series of Debt Securities issued hereunder (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Debt Security Register”), in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of all Debt Securities and the transfer of Debt Securities as in this
Article II provided. At all reasonable times the Debt Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Subject to Section 2.15, upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debt Security at any office or agency to be
maintained by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of
authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount. In no event may Debt Securities be issued as, or exchanged for, bearer securities. 

Unless and until otherwise determined by the Company by resolution of the Members, the Debt Security Register shall be kept at the
principal corporate trust office of the Trustee and, for this purpose, the Trustee shall be designated “Registrar.” 

Debt Securities of any series (other than a Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal
amount of Debt Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations. Subject to Section 2.15, Debt Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company as provided in
Section 4.2, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Debt Security or Debt Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. 

(b) All Debt Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or payment shall (if so required by the Company,
the Trustee or the Registrar) be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in
writing. 
  

 13 

 All Debt Securities issued in exchange for or upon transfer of Debt Securities shall be the
valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Debt Securities surrendered for such exchange or transfer. 

No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Debt Securities (except as provided by Section 2.9),
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, other than those expressly provided in this Indenture to be made at the Company’s
own expense or without expense or without charge to the Holders. 
 The Company shall not be required (i) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Securities for a period of 15 days next preceding any mailing of notice of redemption of Debt Securities of such series or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Securities selected,
called or being called for redemption. 
 Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Debt Security, the
Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Debt Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of
the principal of, and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.12) interest on, such Debt Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Debt Security is overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any
paying agent or any Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 None of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee,
any agent of the Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 Section 2.8 Temporary Debt
Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Debt Securities (printed, lithographed, photocopied, typewritten or otherwise
produced) of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debt
Securities, all as may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Debt Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Debt Security shall be executed
by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Debt Securities. 

If temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Debt Securities of such series to be prepared
without unreasonable delay. After the preparation 
  

 14 

 
of definitive Debt Securities of such series, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Debt
Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company at a Place of Payment for such series, without charge to the Holder thereof, except as provided in Section 2.7 in connection with a transfer. Upon surrender for cancellation of
any one or more temporary Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the same series of authorized
denominations and of like tenor. Until so exchanged, temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of such series. 

Upon any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security for a definitive Global Security or for the individual Debt Securities
represented thereby pursuant to Section 2.7 or this Section 2.8, the temporary Global Security shall be endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the reduction of the principal amount evidenced thereby, whereupon the principal amount of such
temporary Global Security shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount to be exchanged and endorsed. 
 Section 2.9
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debt Securities. If (a) any mutilated Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee at its corporate trust office or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Debt Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any paying agent harmless, and neither the Company nor the Trustee
receives notice that such Debt Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, then the Company shall execute and, upon a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Debt Security, a new Debt Security of the same series of like tenor, form, terms and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debt Security, the Company or the Trustee
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Debt Security which has matured or is about to
mature or which has been called for redemption shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substituted Debt Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the
case of a mutilated Debt Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish the Company and the Trustee with such security or indemnity as either may require to save it harmless from all risk, however remote, and, in case of destruction, loss
or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security and of the ownership thereof. 

Every substituted Debt Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.9 by virtue of the fact that any
Debt Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. All Debt Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, 
  

 15 

 
destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities, and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect
to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. 
 Section 2.10
Cancellation of Surrendered Debt Securities. All Debt Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent or a Registrar, be delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation by it, or if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be canceled by it, and no Debt Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. All canceled Debt Securities held by
the Trustee shall be destroyed (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) and certification of their destruction delivered to the Company, unless otherwise directed. On request of the Company, the Trustee shall deliver to the
Company canceled Debt Securities held by the Trustee. If the Company shall acquire any of the Debt Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Debt represented thereby unless and until the same are
delivered or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company may not issue new Debt Securities to replace Debt Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.11 Provisions of the Indenture and Debt Securities for the Sole Benefit of the Parties and the Holders. Nothing in this
Indenture or in the Debt Securities, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, the Holders or any Registrar or paying agent, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in
respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all its covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, the Holders and any Registrar and paying agents. 

Section 2.12 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 

(a) Interest on any Debt Security that is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any interest payment date shall be paid
to the Person in whose name such Debt Security is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest notwithstanding the cancellation of such Debt Security upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the regular record
date. Payment of interest on Debt Securities shall be made at the corporate trust office of the Trustee (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.3), or at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Debt Security Register or, if provided pursuant to Section 2.3 and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the option of the Holder by wire transfer to an account
designated by the Holder. 
 (b) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and Section 2.17, each Debt
Security of a particular series delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Debt Security of the same series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which
were carried by such other Debt Security. 
 Section 2.13 Securities Denominated in Dollars. Except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 2.3 for Debt Securities of any series, payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, Debt Securities of such series will be made in Dollars. 

 

 16 

 Section 2.14 Wire Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in
this Indenture, the Company may make any payment of moneys required to be deposited with the Trustee on account of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities (whether pursuant to optional or mandatory redemption payments,
interest payments or otherwise) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Trustee before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date such moneys are to be paid to the Holders of the Debt Securities in accordance
with the terms hereof. 
 Section 2.15 Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security. 

(a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 that the Debt Securities of a particular series are to be issued in
whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee or its agent shall, in accordance with Section 2.5, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or Securities, which shall
represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or Securities, or such portion thereof as the Company shall specify
in an Officers’ Certificate, shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, shall be delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s
instruction and shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: 
 “UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), NEW YORK, NEW YORK, TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF
CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO., OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR
OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. 

TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF
OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN.” 

or such other legend as may then be required by the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.15 or of Section 2.7 to the contrary, and subject to the provisions
of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Debt Securities in registered form, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in
part 
  

 17 

 
and in the manner provided in Section 2.7, only by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another
nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary to a successor Depositary for such Global Security selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

(c) (i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security or Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or if at any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute, rule
or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security or Securities. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security or Securities is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the Company
receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such individual Debt Securities of such series in exchange
for such Global Security or Securities, will authenticate and deliver, individual Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or
Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 
 (ii) If an Event of Default occurs and the
Depositary for a Global Security or Securities notifies the Trustee of its decision to require that the Debt Securities of any series or portion thereof issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented
by such Global Security or Securities, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of individual Debt Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security or Securities, will authenticate and deliver individual Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in
definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such series or portion thereof in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

(iii) If specified by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 with respect to Debt Securities issued or issuable in
the form of a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are
acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and such Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series shall
authenticate and deliver, without service charge, to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Debt Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security; and to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any,
between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 
  

 18 

 (iv) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs,
the Company will execute and the Trustee or its agent will authenticate and deliver individual Debt Securities. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of a Global Security for individual Debt Securities, such Global Security shall be
canceled by the Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, Debt Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations
as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or the Registrar. The Trustee or the Registrar shall deliver such Debt Securities to the Persons
in whose names such Debt Securities are so registered. 
 (v) Payments in respect of the principal of and
interest on any Debt Securities registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee will be payable to the Depositary or such nominee in its capacity as the registered owner of such Global Security. The Company, any Guarantors and the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name the Debt Securities, including the Global Security, are registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving such payments and for any and all other purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, any Guarantors,
the Trustee, any Registrar, the paying agent or any agent of the Company, any Guarantors or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of the beneficial ownership
interests of the Global Security by the Depositary or its nominee or any of the Depositary’s direct or indirect participants, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary, its nominee or any of its direct or
indirect participants relating to the beneficial ownership interests of the Global Security, the payments to the beneficial owners of the Global Security of amounts paid to the Depositary or its nominee, or any other matter relating to the actions
and practices of the Depositary, its nominee or any of its direct or indirect participants. None of the Company, any Guarantors, the Trustee or any such agent will be liable for any delay by the Depositary, its nominee, or any of its direct or
indirect participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the Debt Securities, and the Company, any Guarantors and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the Depositary or its nominee for all
purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Debt Securities to be issued). 

Section 2.16 Medium Term Securities. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Debt Securities of a series are not to
be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary for the Company to deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, resolutions of the Members, supplemental Indenture, Opinion of Counsel or written order or any other document
otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.1, 2.3, 2.5 or 13.5 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Debt Security of such series if such documents are delivered to the Trustee or its agent at or prior to the authentication upon
original issuance of the first such Debt Security of such series to be issued; provided, that any subsequent request by the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Debt Securities of such series upon original issuance shall constitute a
representation and warranty by the Company that, as of the date of such request, the statements 
  

 19 

 
made in the Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.5 or 13.5 shall be true and correct as if made on such date and that the Opinion of Counsel delivered at or prior to
such time of authentication of an original issuance of Debt Securities shall specifically state that it shall relate to all subsequent issuances of Debt Securities of such series that are identical to the Debt Securities issued in the first issuance
of Debt Securities of such series. 
 A Company Order delivered by the Company to the Trustee in the circumstances set forth in
the preceding paragraph, may provide that Debt Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or its agent on original issue from time to time upon the telephonic or written order of Persons designated in
such written order (any such telephonic instructions to be promptly confirmed in writing by such Person) and that such Persons are authorized to determine, consistent with the Officers’ Certificate, supplemental Indenture or resolution of the
Members relating to such written order, such terms and conditions of such Debt Securities as are specified in such Officers’ Certificate, supplemental Indenture or such resolution. 

Section 2.17 Defaulted Interest. Any interest on any Debt Security of a particular series which is payable, but is not punctually
paid or duly provided for, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Debt Securities of such series and in this Indenture (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the relevant
record date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below: 

(i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of
such series are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
Interest proposed to be paid on each such Debt Security of such series 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 in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment
and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first class postage pre-paid, to each Holder thereof at its address as it appears in the Debt Security Register, not less than 15 days prior to such
special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of such series are
registered at the close of business on such special record date. 
  

 20 

 (ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Debt
Securities of such series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Debt Securities of such series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after
notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

Section 2.18 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Debt 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 accuracy of such numbers either as printed on
the Debt Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Debt Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of
such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 

ARTICLE III 

REDEMPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES 

Section 3.1 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Debt Securities of any series
which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3 for Debt Securities of such series. 

Section 3.2 Notice of Redemption; Selection of Debt Securities. In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem
all or, as the case may be, any part of the Debt Securities of any series in accordance with their terms, by resolution of the Members or a supplemental Indenture, the Company shall fix a date for redemption and shall give notice of such redemption
at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of Debt Securities of such series so to be redeemed as a whole or in part, in the manner provided in Section 13.3. The notice if given in the manner
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Debt Security of a series designated
for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debt Security of such series. 

Each such notice of redemption shall specify (i) the date fixed for redemption, (ii) the redemption price at which Debt
Securities of such series are to be redeemed (or the method of calculating such redemption price), (iii) the Place or Places of Payment that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities, (iv) that any
interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, (v) that the redemption is for a sinking fund payment (if applicable), (vi) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, if the Company
defaults in making such redemption payment or if the Debt Securities of that series are subordinated pursuant to the terms of Article XII, the paying agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture,
(vii) that on and after said date any interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue, (viii) that in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities original issue discount accrued after the date fixed for

  

 21 

 
redemption will cease to accrue, (ix) the terms of the Debt Securities of that series pursuant to which the Debt Securities of that series are being redeemed and (x) 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 Debt Securities of that series. If less than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed the notice of
redemption shall specify the certificate numbers of any Debt Securities of that series to be redeemed that are not in global form. In case any Debt Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion
of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt Security, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of that series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion thereof, will be issued. 
 At least five days before the giving of any notice of redemption, unless the Trustee
consents to a shorter period, the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Debt Securities to be redeemed and the series and terms of the Debt Securities pursuant to which such redemption will
occur. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein, and such notice may be revoked at any time prior to the
giving of a notice of redemption to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.2. If fewer than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Company and given in
writing to the Trustee, which record date shall be not less than three days after the date of notice to the Trustee. 
 By 11
a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date for any Debt Securities, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a paying agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money in
Dollars (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.3) sufficient to pay the redemption price of such Debt Securities or any portions thereof that are to be redeemed on that date, together with any interest accrued to the Redemption Date.

 If less than all the Debt Securities of like tenor and terms of a series are to be redeemed (other than pursuant to mandatory
sinking fund redemptions), the Trustee shall select, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Debt Securities of that series or portions thereof (in multiples of $1,000) to
be redeemed. In any case where more than one Debt Security of such series is registered in the same name, the Trustee in its discretion may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were represented by one Debt Security of such
series. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Debt Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Debt Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. If any Debt
Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof on such Redemption Date, the principal, premium, if any, and interest shall bear interest until paid from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Debt Securities of that
series. If less than all the Debt Securities of unlike tenor and terms of a series are to be redeemed, the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Company. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Debt Securities called
for redemption also apply to portions of Debt Securities called for redemption. 
  

 22 

 Section 3.3 Payment of Debt Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption
has been given as provided in Section 3.2, the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities of the series with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the Place or Places of Payment stated
in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Debt Securities at the applicable redemption
price, together with any interest accrued to said date) any interest on the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities of any series so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and any original issue discount in the case of Original Issue
Discount Securities shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at the Place or Places of Payment in said notice specified, the said Debt Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the
Company at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption. 
 Any
Debt Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Place of Payment with, if the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company, the Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Debt Security without service
charge, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series, of like tenor and form, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal
of the Debt Security so surrendered; except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge, a new Global
Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. In the case of a Debt Security providing appropriate space for such notation, at the option of the Holder thereof,
the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Debt Security or Debt Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Debt Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof. 

Section 3.4 Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Debt
Securities of any series, resolution of the Members or a supplemental Indenture is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of
any series, resolution of the Members or a supplemental Indenture is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” 

In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Debt Securities of a series in cash, the
Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Debt Securities of that series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or (b) receive credit for the principal amount of Debt Securities of that series which have been
redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities, resolution or supplemental Indenture;
provided, that such Debt Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Debt Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Debt Securities, resolution or supplemental
Indenture for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
  

 23 

 Section 3.5 Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days
prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Debt Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of
that series, any resolution or supplemental Indenture, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Debt Securities of that series
pursuant to Section 3.4 (which Debt Securities, if not previously redeemed, will accompany such certificate) and whether the Company intends to exercise its right to make any permitted optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series.
Such certificate shall also state that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series. Such certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the cash payment or payments
therein referred to, if any, by 11 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Company to deliver such certificate (or to deliver the Debt Securities specified in this paragraph) shall not constitute a
Default, but such failure shall require that the sinking fund payment due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for that series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of such Debt Securities
subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the option to deliver or credit Debt Securities as provided in Section 3.4 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund payment, if any, with respect to such series. 

Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments
made in cash which shall equal or exceed $100,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request) with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment date on which such payment
is made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the sinking fund payment date following the date of such payment) to the redemption of such Debt Securities at the redemption price specified in such Debt Securities,
resolution or supplemental Indenture for operation of the sinking fund together with any accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption of Debt Securities shall
be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.5. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the
Debt Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Debt Securities of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Debt Securities shall be applied by the
Trustee, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Debt Securities of that series at its Stated Maturity. 

The Trustee shall select the Debt Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in the last
paragraph of Section 3.2 and the Company shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the manner provided in Section 3.2 except that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Debt Securities are being redeemed by
operation of the sinking fund. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.3. 

 

 24 

 The Trustee shall not redeem any Debt Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of
redemption of such Debt Securities by operation of the sinking fund for such series during the continuance of a Default in payment of interest on such Debt Securities or of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a
consequence of this paragraph) with respect to such Debt Securities, except that if the notice of redemption of any such Debt Securities shall theretofore have been mailed in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such Debt
Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article III. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such
Default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such Default or Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of such Debt Securities; provided, however, that in
case such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment date for such Debt Securities on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 3.5. 
 ARTICLE IV 

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE Company 

Section 4.1 Payment of Principal of, and Premium, If Any, and Interest on, Debt Securities. The Company, for the benefit of each
series of Debt Securities, will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, each of the Debt Securities at the place, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein or in the Debt
Securities. Each installment of interest on any Debt Securities not in global form may at the Company’s option be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.7(a) to the address of such
Person as it appears on the Debt Security Register. 
 Principal of and premium and interest on Debt Securities of any series
shall be considered paid on the date due if, by 11 a.m., New York City time, on such date the Trustee or any paying agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium and interest then due and, in the case
of Debt Securities subordinated pursuant to the terms of Article XII, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal or premium, if any, at the rate specified therefor in the Debt Securities, and it
shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Section 4.2 Maintenance of
Offices or Agencies for Registration of Transfer, Exchange and Payment of Debt Securities. The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Debt Securities an office or agency where Debt Securities of such series may be
presented or surrendered for payment, and it shall also maintain (in or outside such Place of Payment) an office or agency where Debt Securities of such series may be surrendered for transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give 
  

 25 

 
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 office of the Trustee where its corporate trust business is principally administered in the United
States, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

The Company may also from time to time designate different or additional offices or agencies to be maintained for such purposes (in or
outside of such Place of Payment), and may from time to time rescind any such designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations described in the preceding paragraph. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such additional designation or rescission of designation and any change in the location of any such different or additional office or agency. 

Section 4.3 Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in the Office of Trustee. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in
the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.8, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to each series of Debt Securities. 

Section 4.4 Duties of Paying Agents, etc. 

(a) The Company shall cause each paying agent, if any, other than the Trustee, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.4, 
 (i) that it
will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities of any series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Debt
Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series; 
 (ii)
that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Debt Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities of such series when
the same shall be due and payable; and 
 (iii) that it will at any time during the continuance of an Event of
Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held by it as such agent. 
 (b) If
the Company shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities of any series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of
the Debt Securities of such series a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company to take such action or the failure by any other
obligor on such Debt Securities to make any payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, such Debt Securities when the same shall be due and payable. 
  

 26 

 (c) Anything in this Section 4.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at
any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by it or any paying agent, as required by this Section 4.4, such sums
to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such paying agent. 

(d) Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents with respect to any series of Debt Securities, it will, prior to each due
date of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt Securities of such series, deposit with any such paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless any such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

(e) Anything in this Section 4.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this
Section 4.4 is subject to the provisions of Section 11.5. 
 Section 4.5 SEC Reports. 

The Company shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company or any Guarantor is required to file the same with the SEC,
copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports that the Company or such Guarantor is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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 and any Guarantor’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 

Section 4.6 Compliance Certificate. The Company shall, so long as any of the Debt Securities are Outstanding, deliver to the
Trustee, on or before January 31 in each year, a brief certificate from the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Company as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under
the Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under the Indenture). 

Section 4.7 Further Instruments and Acts. The Company will, upon request of the Trustee, execute and deliver such further
instruments and do such further acts as may reasonably be necessary or proper to carry out more effectually the purposes of this Indenture. 

Section 4.8 Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company and the Guarantors may, with respect to the Debt Securities of any series,
omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant made applicable to such Debt Securities pursuant to Section 2.3, if, before or after the time for such compliance, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected, waive such compliance in such instance with such covenant, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant except to the extent so 

 

 27 

 
expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant shall remain in
full force and effect. 
 ARTICLE V 

HOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE TRUSTEE 

Section 5.1 Company to Furnish Trustee Information as to Names and Addresses of Holders; Preservation of Information. The Company
covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of each series: 

(a) not more than 10 days after each record date with respect to the payment of interest, if any, a list, in such form as the Trustee may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of such record date, and 
 (b) at such other times as the
Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and contents as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; 

provided, however, that so long as the Trustee shall be the Registrar, such lists shall not be required to be furnished. 

The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the
Holders (i) contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in this Section 5.1 or (ii) received by it in the capacity of paying agent or Registrar (if so acting) hereunder. 

The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in this Section 5.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

 Section 5.2 Communications to Holders. Holders may communicate pursuant to Section 312(b) of the TIA with other
Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Debt Securities. The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of Section 312(c) of the TIA. 

Section 5.3 Reports by Trustee. Within 60 days after each January 31, beginning with the first January 31 following the
date of this Indenture, and in any event on or before April 1 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a brief report dated as of such January 31 that complies with TIA Section 313(a); provided, however, that if no event
described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). 

Reports pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be transmitted by mail: 

(a) to all Holders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear in the Debt Security Register; and 

 

 28 

 (b) except in the cases of reports under Section 313(b)(2) of the TIA, to each Holder
of a Debt Security of any series whose name and address appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 5.1. 

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and each stock
exchange (if any) on which the Debt Securities of any series are listed. The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Debt Securities of any series become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 

Section 5.4 Record Dates for Action by Holders. If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Debt Securities of any series any
action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the Company may, at its option, by resolution of the Members, fix in advance a record date for the
determination of Holders of Debt Securities entitled to take such action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Company’s discretion. If such a record date is fixed, such action may be
sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of Debt Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders of Debt Securities for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the
requisite proportion of Debt Securities of such series Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such action, and for that purpose the Debt Securities of such series Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date. 

ARTICLE VI

Securities of that series, in any 
  

 29 

 
resolution of the Members authorizing the issuance of that series of Debt Securities, in this Indenture with respect to such series or in any supplemental Indenture with respect to such series
(other than a covenant a default in the performance of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), continuing for a period of 60 days (or 180 days in the case of a Reporting Failure) after the date on which written notice specifying
such failure and requiring the Company, or if applicable, the Guarantors, to remedy the same and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder shall have been given to the Company and if applicable, the Guarantors, by the
Trustee or to the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantors, and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding; or 

(e) the Company or, if any series of Debt Securities Outstanding under this Indenture is entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee by a
Guarantor, any of the Guarantors, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, 
 (i) commences a
voluntary case, 
 (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

 (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or

 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 

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

(i) is for relief against the Company or, if any series of Debt Securities Outstanding under this Indenture is entitled to
the benefits of the Guarantee by a Guarantor, any of the Guarantors, as debtor in an involuntary case, 
 (ii)
appoints a Custodian of the Company or, if any series of Debt Securities Outstanding under this Indenture is entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee by a Guarantor, any of the Guarantors, or a Custodian for all or substantially all of the property
of the Company, or if applicable, any of the Guarantors, or 
 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or, if
any series of Debt Securities Outstanding under this Indenture is entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee by a Guarantor, any of the Guarantors, 

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

(g) if any series of Debt Securities Outstanding under this Indenture is entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee by a Guarantor, the
Guarantee of any of the Guarantors ceases to be in full force and effect with respect to Debt Securities of that series (except as otherwise provided in this Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any of the Guarantors
denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or such Guarantee; or 
  

 30 

 (h) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Debt Securities of that series;

 (i) provided, however, that the occurrence of any of the events described in the foregoing clause (d) shall not
constitute an Event of Default if such occurrence is the result of changes in generally accepted accounting principles as recognized by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants at the date as of which this Indenture is executed and a
certificate to such effect is delivered to the Trustee by the Company’s independent public accountants. 
 (j) If an Event
of Default described in clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (g), or (h) with respect to Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding occurs with respect to the Company or any Guarantor and is continuing, unless the principal of, premium, if
any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Debt Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series then
Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company and the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the principal of (or, if the Debt Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion
of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series), premium, if any, and interest on all the Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be
immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities of that series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default described in clause (e) or (f) occurs with respect to the Company, then and
in each and every such case, unless the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Debt Securities shall have become due and payable, the principal of (or, if the Debt Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Debt
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof), premium, if any, and interest on all the Debt Securities then Outstanding hereunder shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without
any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders, anything in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities contained to the contrary notwithstanding. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series by written notice to the Trustee
may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction already rendered and if all existing Events of Default with respect to that series have been cured
or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. Upon any such rescission, the parties hereto shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder,
and all rights, remedies and powers of the parties hereto shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken. 
 Section
6.2 Collection of Debt by Trustee, etc. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in
equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid or enforce the performance of any provision of the Debt Securities of the affected series or this Indenture, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and
may enforce any such judgment or final decree against any of the Guarantors or the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series (and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of any of the Guarantors or the
Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable). 
  

 31 

 In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of
any of the Guarantors or the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of any series under any Bankruptcy Law, or in case a Custodian shall have been appointed for its property, or in case of any other similar judicial proceedings
relative to any of the Guarantors or the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of any series, its creditors or its property, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of Debt Securities of any series shall then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.2, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings
or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest (or, if the Debt Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be
specified in the terms of such series) owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities of such series, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for
reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders
thereof allowed in any such judicial proceedings relative to any of the Guarantors or the Company, or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series, its creditors or its property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of such Holders and of the Trustee on their behalf, and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby
authorized by each of such Holders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Holders, to pay to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith. 

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Debt Securities of any series, may be enforced by
the Trustee without the possession of any such Debt Securities, or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of
an express trust, and any recovery of judgment (except for any amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.6) shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of all the Debt Securities in respect of which such action was taken.

 In case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested
in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 

 

 32 

 Section 6.3 Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys or other property
collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.2 with respect to Debt Securities of any series shall be applied, after giving effect to the provisions of Article XII, if applicable, in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee for the distribution of such moneys or other property, upon presentation of the several Debt Securities of such series in respect of which moneys or other property have been collected, and the notation thereon of the payment, if only
partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all money due the Trustee pursuant to
Section 7.6; 
 SECOND: In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt Securities in respect of which such moneys have been
collected shall not have become due, to the payment of interest on the Debt Securities of such series in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the
Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities) borne by the Debt Securities of such series, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled
thereto, without discrimination or preference; 
 THIRD: In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt Securities in respect of
which such moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such series for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest
on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities)
borne by the Debt Securities of such series; and, in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such series, then to the payment of such principal and premium, if any, and
interest, without preference or priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Debt Security of such
series over any Debt Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and premium, if any, and interest; and 

FOURTH: The remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Guarantors or the Company, as applicable, its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a
record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.3. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and
amount to be paid. 
 Section 6.4 Limitation on Suits by Holders. No Holder of any Debt Security of any series shall have
any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of that same series and of the continuance

  

 33 

 
thereof and unless the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute
such action or proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity or security as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity or security shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings and no direction inconsistent with such written
request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.6; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Debt Security with every other Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any Holders, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder,
or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all such Holders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.4, each and every
Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Indenture, however, the right of any Holder of any Debt Security to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.12) interest on, such Debt Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in
such Debt Security, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 6.5 Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission in Exercise of Rights Not a Waiver of Default. All powers and remedies given by
this Article VI to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or
otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default occurring and
continuing as aforesaid, shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.4, every power and remedy given by this Article VI
or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders. 

Section 6.6 Rights of Holders of Majority in Principal Amount of Debt Securities to Direct Trustee and to Waive Default. The
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series at the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or of exercising any right, trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Debt Securities of such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this
Indenture, and that subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel shall determine that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken
or is inconsistent with any provision of this Indenture, or if the Trustee shall by a responsible officer or officers determine that the action so directed would involve it in personal liability or would be unduly prejudicial to Holders of Debt
Securities of such series not taking 
  

 34 

 
part in such direction; and provided, further, however, that nothing in this Indenture contained shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is
not inconsistent with such direction by such Holders. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all the Debt Securities of that
series waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences for that series, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debt Securities and a Default or Event
of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.2 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected thereby. In case of any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, and the Guarantors, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debt Securities of that series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.7 Trustee to Give Notice of Events of Defaults Known to It, but May Withhold Such Notice in Certain Circumstances. The
Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or if later, within 30 days after the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of the Event of Default, with respect to a series of Debt Securities give to the Holders thereof, in
the manner provided in Section 13.3, notice of all Events of Default with respect to such series known to the Trustee, unless such Events of Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided, that, except in the
case of an Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debt Securities of such series or in the making of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a committee of directors or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice
is in the interests of the Holders thereof. 
 Section 6.8 Requirement of an Undertaking to Pay Costs in Certain Suits under
the Indenture or Against the Trustee. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit in the manner
and to the extent provided in the TIA, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith
of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 6.8 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than
25 percent in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt Security on or after the
due date for such payment expressed in such Debt Security. 
  

 35 

 ARTICLE VII 

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 

Section 7.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing
or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), 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 their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

 No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, its own bad faith or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (a) this paragraph shall not be
construed to limit the effect of the first paragraph of this Section 7.1; 
 (b) prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default with respect to the Debt Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default with respect to such series which may have occurred: 

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to Debt Securities of any series shall be determined solely by
the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations with respect to such series as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to such series shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; 
 (ii) in the
absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to
the requirements of this Indenture; but 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 be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; but the Trustee shall examine the evidence furnished to it pursuant to Sections 4.5 and 4.6 to determine whether or not such evidence conforms to the requirement of this Indenture;

 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (iv) the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it with respect to Debt Securities of any series in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount 
  

 36 

 
of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of such series. 
 None of the provisions of
this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
 Section 7.2 Certain Rights of
Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.1: 
 (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
 (b) any request, direction, order or
demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Order (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Members may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy
thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company; 
 (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel, and
the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of
Counsel; 
 (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture
at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; 
 (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken
or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 

(f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee
shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, approval or other paper or document, unless requested
in writing to do so by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then 
  

 37 

 
Outstanding Debt Securities of a series affected by such matter; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
incurred by it in the making of such investigation is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such
costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding, and the reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; 

(g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents
or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder; and 

(h) if any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to a Lien in favor of the Holders, the Trustee, if and to the extent
authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such Lien, shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax
Liens or other prior Liens or encumbrances thereon. 
 Section 7.3 Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Indenture or in Debt
Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Debt Securities (except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the
same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities of any series, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate
the Debt Securities and perform its obligations hereunder, and that the statements made by it or to be made by it in a Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true and accurate. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Debt Securities or of the proceeds thereof. 
 Section 7.4
Trustee, Paying Agent or Registrar May Own Debt Securities. The Trustee or any paying agent or Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities and subject to the provisions of the TIA
relating to conflicts of interest and preferential claims may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Registrar. 

Section 7.5 Moneys Received by Trustee to Be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.5, all moneys received by
the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability
for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time to the Company upon a Company Order. 

Section 7.6 Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company covenants and agrees to pay in Dollars to the Trustee from time to time,
and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which shall not be limited by any 

 

 38 

 
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse in Dollars the Trustee upon
its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents,
attorneys and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ), including without limitation, Section 6.2, except any such expense, disbursement or advances as may arise from its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company
also covenants to indemnify in Dollars the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of this trust or trusts hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.
The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.6 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional Debt hereunder and shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. The Company and the Holders agree that such additional Debt shall be secured by a Lien prior to that of the Debt Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee, as such, except
funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, particular Debt Securities. 
 When
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(e) or (f) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
Bankruptcy Law. 
 Section 7.7 Right of Trustee to Rely on an Officers’ Certificate Where No Other Evidence Specifically
Prescribed. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.1, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering
or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established
by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the
provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. 
 Section 7.8 Separate Trustee; Replacement of Trustee. The Company
may, but need not, appoint a separate Trustee for any one or more series of Debt Securities. The Trustee may resign with respect to one or more or all series of Debt Securities at any time by giving notice to the Company. The Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series may remove the Trustee for such series and only such series by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 

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

(b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

(c) a Custodian takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

 

 39 

 (d) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series and
such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of this
Section 7.8. 
 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 of Debt Securities of each applicable series. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.6. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee gives notice of resignation or is removed, the
retiring Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of any applicable series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series.

 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Debt Securities of any applicable series may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series. 

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.6
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 In the case of the appointment hereunder of a separate or successor
Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series, the Company, any retiring Trustee and each successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an Indenture
supplemental hereto (i) which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series as to
which any such retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in such retiring Trustee and (ii) that shall 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, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental Indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such separate, retiring or
successor Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee. 

Section 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

 

 40 

 In case at the time such successor or successors to the Trustee by merger, conversion,
consolidation or transfer shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Debt Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Debt Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt Securities either in the name of
any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Debt Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee
shall have. 
 Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of
Section 310(a) of the TIA. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. No obligor upon the Debt Securities of a particular series or Person
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such obligor shall serve as Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that there
shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA this Indenture or any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if
the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA are met. 
 Section 7.11 Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the TIA, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the TIA. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to
Section 311(a) of the TIA to the extent indicated therein. 
 Section 7.12 Compliance with Tax Laws. The Trustee
hereby agrees to comply with all U.S. Federal income tax information reporting and withholding requirements applicable to it with respect to payments of premium (if any) and interest on the Debt Securities, whether acting as Trustee, Registrar,
paying agent or otherwise with respect to the Debt Securities. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS 

Section 8.1 Evidence of Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in
aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any or all series may take action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the
time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in
writing, (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2, (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such

  

 41 

 
record of such a meeting of Holders or (d) in the case of Debt Securities evidenced by a Global Security, by any electronic transmission or other message, whether or not in written format,
that complies with the Depositary’s applicable procedures. 
 Section 8.2 Proof of Execution of Instruments and of
Holding of Debt Securities. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 13.9, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations
as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The ownership of Debt Securities of any series shall be proved by the Debt Security Register or by a certificate of the Registrar for such series. The
Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 8.2 as it shall deem necessary. 

Section 8.3 Who May Be Deemed Owner of Debt Securities. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debt
Security, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Debt Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Debt Security
(whether or not such Debt Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to
Section 2.12) interest on such Debt Security and for all other purposes, and none of the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; and all such payments so
made to any such Holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Debt Security. 

None of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any
aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

Section 8.4 Instruments Executed by Holders Bind Future Holders. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the
Trustee, as provided in Section 8.1, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action and subject to the
following paragraph, any Holder of a Debt Security which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debt Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its corporate trust office
and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.2, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and
upon all future Holders and owners of such Debt Security and of any Debt Security issued upon transfer thereof or in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debt Security or
such other Debt Securities. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the
Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Debt Securities of such series. 
  

 42 

 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Debt Securities entitled to give their consent or take any other action required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph,
those Persons who were Holders of Debt Securities at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or
not such Persons continue to be Holders of Debt Securities 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 Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Debt Securities of such series specified in this Indenture shall have been received within such 120-day period. 

ARTICLE IX 

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 

Section 9.1 Purposes for Which Supplemental Indenture May Be Entered into Without Consent of Holders. The Company and any
Guarantors, when authorized by resolutions of the Members, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time, without the consent of Holders, enter into an Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the
TIA as in force at the date of the execution thereof) for one or more of the following purposes: 
 (a) to evidence the
succession pursuant to Article X of another Person to the Company, or successive successions, and the assumption by the Successor Company (as defined in Section 10.1) of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company in this Indenture
and in the Debt Securities; 
 (b) to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company or the Guarantors, to add
to the covenants of the Company or the Guarantors such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the Holders of all or any series of Debt Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than
all series of Debt Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) as the Members shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of such Debt Securities, and to make the occurrence,
or the occurrence and continuance, of a Default in any of such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions a Default or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture;
provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental Indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after Default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the
case of other Defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of any or
all series of Debt Securities to waive such Default; 
 (c) to cure any ambiguity or omission or to correct or supplement any
provision contained herein, in any supplemental Indenture or in any Debt Securities of any series that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein, in any supplemental

  

 43 

 
Indenture or in the Debt Securities of such series; to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Trustee, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or
questions arising under this Indenture as shall not adversely affect the interests of any Holders of Debt Securities of any series; 

(d) to permit the qualification of this Indenture or any Indenture supplemental hereto under the TIA as then in effect, except that
nothing herein contained shall permit or authorize the inclusion in any Indenture supplemental hereto of the provisions referred to in Section 316(a)(2) of the TIA; 

(e) to change or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, on, Debt Securities; provided, that any
such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series in any material respect or permit or facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities of any series in uncertificated form; 

(f) to reflect the release of any Guarantor in accordance with Article XIV; 

(g) in the case of any Debt Securities subordinated pursuant to Article XII, to make any change in Article XII that would limit or
terminate the benefits available to any holder of Senior Indebtedness (or Representatives therefor) under Article XII; 
 (h) to
add Guarantors with respect to any or all of the Debt Securities or to secure any or all of the Debt Securities or the Guarantee; 

(i) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights hereunder of any Holder; 

(j) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Debt Securities; provided,
however, that any such addition, change or elimination not otherwise permitted under this Section 9.1 shall neither apply to any Debt Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental Indenture and entitled to the
benefit of such provision nor modify the rights of the Holder of any such Debt Security with respect to such provision or shall become effective only when there is no such Debt Security Outstanding; 

(k) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of one or more series 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; and 

(l) to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 2.3. 

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any such supplemental Indenture, to make
any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such
supplemental Indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  

 44 

 Any supplemental Indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 9.1 may be
executed by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Debt Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.2. 

In the case of Debt Securities subordinated pursuant to Article XII, an amendment under this Section 9.1 may not make any change
that adversely affects the rights under Article XII of any holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or any group or Representative thereof authorized to give a consent) consent to such change.

 Section 9.2 Modification of Indenture with Consent of Holders of Debt Securities. Without notice to any Holder but
with the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.1) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such supplemental Indenture (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for any such series of Debt Securities), the Company and the Guarantors, when authorized by resolutions of the Members, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an
Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the TIA as in force at the date of execution thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Indenture or of any supplemental Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series; provided, that no such supplemental Indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Debt Security so
affected, shall: reduce the percentage in principal amount of Debt Securities of any series whose Holders must consent to an amendment; reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Debt Security; reduce the principal of or
extend the Stated Maturity of any Debt Security; reduce any premium payable upon the redemption of any Debt Security or change the time at which any Debt Security may or shall be redeemed in accordance with Article III; make any Debt Security
payable in currency other than the Dollar; impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of premium, if any, principal of and interest on such Holder’s Debt 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 Debt Securities; in the case of any Debt Security subordinated pursuant to Article XII, make any change in Article XII that adversely affects the rights of any Holder under Article
XII; release any security that may have been granted in respect of the Debt Securities, other than in accordance with this Indenture; make any change in Section 6.6 or this Section 9.2; or, except as provided in Section 11.2(b) or
Section 14.4, release the Guarantors other than as provided in this Indenture or modify the Guarantee in any manner adverse to the Holders. 

A supplemental Indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has been expressly included
solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt 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 Debt Securities of any other series. 
  

 45 

 Upon the request of the Company and the Guarantors, accompanied by a copy of resolutions of
the Members authorizing the execution of any such supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental
Indenture unless such supplemental Indenture 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 supplemental
Indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular
form of any proposed supplemental Indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 

In the case of any Debt Securities subordinated pursuant to Article XII, an amendment under this Section 9.2 may not make any change
that adversely affects the rights under Article XII of any holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or any group or Representative thereof authorized to give a consent) consent to such change.

 After an amendment under this Section 9.2 requiring the consent of the Holders of any series of Debt Securities becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to Holders of that series of Debt Securities of each series affected thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to any such Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair
or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.2 with respect to other Holders. 
 Section 9.3 Effect of
Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantors and the Holders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications
and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental Indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1and 7.2, may receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as
conclusive evidence that any such supplemental Indenture complies with the provisions of this Article IX. 
 Section 9.4 Debt
Securities May Bear Notation of Changes by Supplemental Indentures. Debt Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX may, and shall if
required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental Indenture. New Debt Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Members, to any
modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental Indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding. Failure to make
the appropriate notation or to issue a new Debt Security of such series shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 
  

 46 

 ARTICLE X 

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE 

Section 10.1 Consolidations and Mergers of the Company. The Company shall not consolidate or amalgamate with or merge with or into
any Person, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its assets to any Person, whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, unless: (a) either (i) the Company shall be the
surviving Person in the case of a merger or (ii) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person if other than the Company (the “Successor Company”), shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any
State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company shall expressly assume, by an Indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under
this Indenture and the Debt Securities according to their tenor; (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions (and treating any Debt which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary of
the Company as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction or series of transactions), no Default or Event of Default would occur or be continuing; (c) if the
Company is not the continuing Person, then each Guarantor, unless it has become the Successor Company, shall confirm that its Guarantee shall continue to apply to the obligations under the Debt Securities and this Indenture; and (d) the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or disposition and such supplemental Indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture. 

Section 10.2 Rights and Duties of Successor Company. In case of any consolidation, amalgamation or merger where the Company is not
the continuing Person, or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 10.1, the Successor Company shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had been
named herein as the respective party to this Indenture, and the predecessor entity shall be released from all liabilities and obligations under this Indenture and the Debt Securities, except that no such release will occur in the case of a lease of
all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Successor Company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all the Debt Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore
shall not have been signed by or behalf of the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of the Successor Company, instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the
Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Debt Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Debt Securities which the Successor Company thereafter
shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Debt Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Debt Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all such Debt Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
  

 47 

 In case of any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or disposition such changes in
phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Debt Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 

ARTICLE XI 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF 

INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE; UNCLAIMED MONEYS 

Section 11.1 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article XI relating to discharge or defeasance of Debt Securities
shall be applicable to each series of Debt Securities except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.3 for Debt Securities of such series. 

Section 11.2 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance. 

(a) If at any time the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Debt Securities of any series theretofore
authenticated and delivered (other than any Debt Securities of such series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.9 and Debt Securities for whose payment money has
theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company as provided in Section 11.5) or all Debt Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by
their terms to 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, and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee as trust
funds the entire amount in cash sufficient to pay at final maturity or upon redemption all Debt Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and premium, if any, and interest due or to
become due on such date of maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be, and if in either case the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect
(except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities herein expressly provided for) with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, and the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of such series.

 (b) Subject to Sections 11.2(c), 11.3 and 11.7, the Company at any time may terminate, with respect to Debt Securities of a
particular series, all its obligations under the Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of such series (“legal defeasance option”) or the operation of (x) any covenant made applicable to
such Debt Securities pursuant to Section 2.3, (y) Sections 6.1(d), (g) and (h) and (z) as they relate to the Guarantors only, Sections 6.1(e) and (f) (“covenant defeasance option”). If the Company exercises
either its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series that are entitled to the benefit of the Guarantee, the Guarantee will terminate with respect to that series of Debt
Securities. The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. 
  

 48 

 If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the
defeased series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in
Sections 6.1(d), (g) and (h) and, with respect to the Guarantors only, Sections 6.1(e) and (f). 
 Upon satisfaction
of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates. 

(c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.7, 2.9, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.1, 7.6,
11.5, 11.6 and 11.7 shall survive until the Debt Securities of the defeased series have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.6, 11.5 and 11.6 shall survive. 

Section 11.3 Conditions of Defeasance. The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option with
respect to Debt Securities of a particular series only if: 
 (a) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee
money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt Securities of such series to final maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(b) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their
opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient
to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest when due on all the Debt Securities of such series to final maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(c) 91 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 91-day period no Default specified in Section 6.1(e) or (f) with
respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 
 (d) no Default has occurred and is continuing on
the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto; 
 (e) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other
agreement binding on the Company and, if the Debt Securities of such series are subordinated pursuant to Article XII, is not prohibited by Article XII; 

(f) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not
constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; 
 (g) in the event of
the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Company has received from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the

  

 49 

 
applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not
recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had
not occurred; 
 (h) in the event of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; and 

(i) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Debt Securities of such series as contemplated by this Article XI have been complied with. 

Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Debt Securities of such
series at a future date in accordance with Article III. 
 Section 11.4 Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall
hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article XI. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through any paying agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the
payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt Securities of the defeased series. In the event the Debt Securities of the defeased series are subordinated pursuant to Article XII, money and securities so held in trust are
not subject to Article XII. 
 Section 11.5 Repayment to Company. The Trustee and any paying agent shall promptly turn

 Subject to any applicable abandoned

 ARTICLE XII 

SUBORDINATION OF DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEE 

Section 12.1 Applicability of Article; Agreement to Subordinate. The provisions of this Article XII shall only be applicable to
the Debt Securities of any series (Debt Securities of such series referred to in this Article XII as “Subordinated Debt Securities”) designated, pursuant to Section 2.3, as subordinated to Senior Indebtedness and any related Guarantee
of such Subordinated Debt Securities. Each Holder by accepting a Subordinated Debt Security agrees that the Debt evidenced by such Subordinated Debt Security and any related Guarantee of such Subordinated Debt Security is subordinated in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article XII, to the prior payment of all Senior Indebtedness and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of Senior Indebtedness. All provisions of this
Article XII shall be subject to Section 12.12. 
 Section 12.2 Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any
payment or distribution of the assets of the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, to creditors, upon a liquidation or a dissolution of the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, or their respective property: 

(a) holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive payment in full in
cash of such Senior Indebtedness of such Person (including interest (if any), accruing on or after the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, whether or not allowed as a claim against the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, in such
bankruptcy proceeding) before Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities and any related Guarantee shall be entitled to receive any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Subordinated Debt Securities from the Company, or any
payment in respect of the Guarantee from the Guarantors; and 
 (b) until the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any
Guarantor, as the case may be, is paid in full, any distribution to which Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities and any related Guarantee would be entitled but for this Article XII shall be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or
the Guarantors, as the case may be, as their interests may appear, except that such Holders may receive capital stock and any debt securities that are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, to at
least the same extent as the Subordinated Debt Securities of the Company or the related Guarantee of any Guarantor, respectively. 

Section 12.3 Default on Senior Indebtedness. The Company and the Guarantors may not pay the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on, the Subordinated Debt Securities or any related Guarantee or make any deposit pursuant to Article XI and may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire (except, in the case of Subordinated Debt Securities that provide for a mandatory
sinking fund pursuant to Section 3.5, by the delivery of Subordinated Debt Securities 
  

 51 

 
by the Company to the Trustee pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.5) any Subordinated Debt Securities (collectively, “pay the Subordinated Debt Securities”) if any
principal, premium or interest in respect of Senior Indebtedness of such Person is not paid within any applicable grace period (including at maturity) or any other default on Senior Indebtedness of such Person occurs and the maturity of such Senior
Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash; provided, however, that the
Company and the Guarantors may make payments on the Subordinated Debt Securities or any related Guarantee without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of each
issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness. During the continuance of any other default with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice
as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Company and the Guarantors may not make payments on the Subordinated Debt Securities or any related Guarantee for a period (a “Payment
Blockage Period”) commencing upon the receipt by the Company and the Trustee (and if such Designated Senior Indebtedness is Debt of a Guarantor, the Guarantor) of written notice of such default from the Representative of any Designated Senior
Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a “Blockage Notice”) and ending 179 days thereafter (or earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated by written notice to the Trustee and the Company (and if
such Designated Senior Indebtedness is Debt of a Guarantor, the Guarantor) from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice, by repayment in full in cash of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or because the default giving rise to such
Blockage Notice is no longer continuing). Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in Section 12.2 and the first sentence of this Section 12.3), unless the
holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such holders shall have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, the Company and the Guarantors may resume payments on the Subordinated Debt Securities
and related Guarantees after such Payment Blockage Period. Not more than one Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to any number of issues of Designated Senior
Indebtedness during such period, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.3 for the Subordinated Debt Securities of a series; provided, however, that in no event may the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or
Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any 360 consecutive day period. For purposes of this Section 12.3, no default or event of default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment
Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days. 

Section 12.4 Acceleration of Payment of Debt Securities. If payment of the Subordinated Debt Securities is accelerated because of
an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness (or their Representatives) of the acceleration. 
  

 52 

 Section 12.5 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. If a distribution is made to
Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities or a related Guarantee that because of this Article XII should not have been made to them, the Holders who receive such distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Indebtedness and pay it over to
them as their interests may appear. 
 Section 12.6 Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until
the Subordinated Debt Securities are paid in full, Holders thereof shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article XII to holders
of Senior Indebtedness which otherwise would have been made to Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities is not, as between the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, and such Holders, a payment by the Company or the Guarantors, as the case
may be, on Senior Indebtedness. 
 Section 12.7 Relative Rights. This Article XII defines the relative rights of Holders
of Subordinated Debt Securities and holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Indenture shall: 
 (a) impair, as between
the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, and Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities, the obligation of the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, and premium, if any, and
interest on, the Subordinated Debt Securities in accordance with their terms; or 
 (b) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of
Subordinated Debt Securities from exercising its available remedies upon an Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities. 

Section 12.8 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company. No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the
subordination of the Debt evidenced by the Subordinated Debt Securities and the Guarantee in respect thereof shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or the Guarantors or by its failure to comply with this Indenture. 

Section 12.9 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding Sections 12.2 and 12.3, the Trustee or any paying agent may
continue to make payments on Subordinated Debt Securities and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such
payment, a responsible officer of the Trustee receives notice satisfactory to it that payments may not be made under this Article XII. The Company, the Registrar, any paying agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness may give the
notice; provided, however, that, if an issue of Senior Indebtedness has a Representative, only the Representative may give the notice on behalf of the Holders of the Senior Indebtedness of that issue. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. The Registrar and any paying agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article XII with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same
extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in Article VII shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article XII shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to
Section 7.6. 
  

 53 

 Section 12.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to
be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative (if any). 

Section 12.11 Article XII Not to Prevent Defaults or Limit Right to Accelerate. The failure to make a payment pursuant to the
Subordinated Debt Securities, whether directly or pursuant to the Guarantee, by reason of any provision in this Article XII shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default. Nothing in this Article XII shall have any effect on the
right of the Holders or the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of either the Subordinated Debt Securities or the Debt Securities, as the case may be. 

Section 12.12 Trust Moneys Not Subordinated. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the
proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held in trust under Article XI by the Trustee for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Subordinated Debt Securities or the Debt Securities shall not be subordinated to the
prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article XII, and none of the Holders thereof shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company, the Guarantors or any holder of Senior Indebtedness
of the Company or the Guarantors or any other creditor of the Company or the Guarantors. 
 Section 12.13 Trustee Entitled to
Rely. Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in
Section 12.2 are pending, upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to such Holders or upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior Indebtedness for the
purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Debt of the Company or the Guarantors, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XII. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to
participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to
which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article XII, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person
pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article XII. 

Section 12.14 Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each Holder by accepting a Subordinated Debt Security authorizes and directs
the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities and the holders of Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article
XII and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 
  

 54 

 Section 12.15 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee
shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities or the Company or the Guarantors
or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XII or otherwise. 

Section 12.16 Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness on Subordination Provisions. Each Holder by accepting a Subordinated Debt
Security acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or
after the issuance of the Subordinated Debt Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination
provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.

ARTICLE XIV 

GUARANTEE 

Section 14.1 Unconditional Guarantee. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article XIV to the contrary, the provisions of this Article XIV shall be applicable only to, and
inure solely to the benefit of, the Debt Securities of any series designated, pursuant to Section 2.3, as entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee of each of the Guarantors. 

(b) For value received, each of the Guarantors hereby fully, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees (the “Guarantee”) to the
Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Debt Securities and all other amounts due and payable under this Indenture and the Debt Securities by the Company, when and as such
principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms of the Debt Securities and this Indenture, subject to
(i) the limitations set forth in Section 14.3 and (ii) in the case of the Guarantee of the Subordinated Debt Securities, to the subordination provisions contained in Article XII. 

(c) Failing payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee, for whatever reason, each of the Guarantors will be
jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately , subject, in the case of the Guarantee of the Subordinated Debt Securities, to the subordination provisions contained in Article XII. The Guarantee hereunder (other than the Guarantee of
Subordinated Debt Securities) is intended to be a general, unsecured, senior obligation of each of the Guarantors and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all Debt of each Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right
of payment to the Guarantee. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be full, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Debt Securities, the Guarantee (including
the Guarantee of any other Guarantor) or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Debt Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against
the Company or any other Guarantor, or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any of the Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that in the
event of a default in payment 
  

 58 

 
of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Debt Securities, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings
may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to Section 6.4, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against such Guarantor to enforce the Guarantee without first proceeding
against the Company or any other Guarantor. 
 (d) The obligations of each of the Guarantors under this Article XIV shall be as
aforesaid full, unconditional and absolute and shall not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (A) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension,
indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Company or any of the Guarantors contained in the Debt Securities or this Indenture, (B) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of the
liability of the Company, any of the Guarantors or any of their estates in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any applicable Bankruptcy Law, as amended, or other
statute or from the decision of any court, (C) the assertion or exercise by the Company, any of the Guarantors or the Trustee of any rights or remedies under the Debt Securities or this Indenture or their delay in or failure to assert or
exercise any such rights or remedies, (D) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for the Debt Securities, including all or any part of the rights of the Company or any of the Guarantors under this Indenture,
(E) the extension of the time for payment by the Company or any of the Guarantors of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of the terms and provisions of the Debt Securities or this Indenture or of the time
for performance by the Company or any of the Guarantors of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal of any thereof, (F) the modification or amendment (whether material or
otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the Company or any of the Guarantors set forth in this Indenture, (G) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets,
marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Company or any of the
Guarantors or any of their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of the Debt Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture in any such proceeding, (H) the release or discharge of the Company or any of the Guarantors from the performance or
observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (I) the unenforceability of the Debt Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture or (J) any other circumstances (other than
payment in full or discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. 

(e) Each of the Guarantors hereby (A) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event
of the merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any of the Guarantors, and all demands whatsoever, (B) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee may be transferred and that the benefit of its
obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee without notice to it and (C) covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the
Guarantee. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to the Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever,

  

 59 

 
including without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any of the Guarantors, the Guarantee shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or
returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and the Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made. 

(f) Each of the Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders and the Trustee against the Company in respect of any amounts
paid by such Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, provided, however, that such Guarantor, shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all of the Debt
Securities and the Guarantee shall have been paid in full or discharged. 
 Section 14.2 Execution and Delivery of
Guarantee. To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 14.1, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that a notation relating to such Guarantee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A, shall be endorsed on each Debt
Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer of such Guarantor, or in the case of a Guarantor that is a limited partnership, an
officer of the general partner of each Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that the Guarantee set forth in Section 14.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Debt Security a notation
relating to the Guarantee. If any officer of any Guarantor, or in the case of a Guarantor that is a limited partnership, any officer of the general partner of the Guarantor, whose signature is on this Indenture or a Debt Security no longer holds
that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Debt Security or at any time thereafter, the Guarantee of such Debt Security shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Debt 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. 
 The
Trustee hereby accepts the trusts in this Indenture upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. 
 Section 14.3
Limitation on Guarantors’ Liability. Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder of a Debt Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by
such Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders of a Debt Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee and
the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and to any
collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under the Guarantee, not result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee constituting a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Federal or state law. 
 Section 14.4 Release of Guarantors from Guarantee.

 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Guarantee of any Guarantor may be released upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 
  

 60

Agreement”) are currently the holders of the entire outstanding principal amount of the Notes. 
  

	2.	DEFINED TERMS. 

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Note Purchase Agreement.

  

	3.	AMENDMENTS TO THE EXISTING NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT. 

Subject to Section 5 of this Amendment Agreement, the Required Lenders and the Company hereby agree to each of the amendments to the

Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Issuer’s and its Subsidiaries’ collective interests in Proved Reserves expected to be produced from their Petroleum Properties during the remaining expected economic lives of such
reserves. Each calculation of such expected future net revenues shall be made in accordance with the then existing standards of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, provided that in any event (a) appropriate deductions shall be made for
severance and ad valorem taxes, and for operating, gathering, transportation and marketing costs required for the production and sale of such reserves, (b) appropriate adjustments shall be made for hedging operations, provided that Swap
Agreements with non-investment grade counterparties shall not be taken into account to the extent that such Swap Agreements improve the position of or otherwise benefit the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) the pricing assumptions used in
determining net present value for any particular reserves shall be based upon the following price decks: (i) for natural gas, the quotation for deliveries of natural gas for each such year from the New York Mercantile Exchange for Henry Hub,
provided that with respect to quotations for calendar years after the fifth calendar year, the quotation for the fifth calendar year shall be applied and (ii) for crude oil, the quotation for deliveries of West Texas Intermediate crude oil for
each such calendar year from the New York Mercantile Exchange for Cushing, Oklahoma, provided that with respect to quotations for calendar years after the fifth calendar year, the quotation for the fifth calendar year shall be applied, and
(d) the cash-flows derived from the pricing assumptions set forth in clause (c) above shall be further adjusted to account for the historical basis differentials for each month during the preceding 12-month period calculated by comparing
realized crude oil and natural gas prices to Cushing, Oklahoma and Henry Hub NYMEX prices for each month during such period; provided that in calculating the Present Value of Proved Reserves, Proved Undeveloped Reserves shall not be taken into
account to the extent that more than 30% of the Present Value of Proved Reserves is attributable to Proved Undeveloped Reserves.” 

3.2. Section 1.01 of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new definitions into
such Section, in their proper alphabetical order, to read as follows:

fees and expenses incurred on or about the closing of the First Amendment in connection with the negotiation, execution and closing of the First Amendment in an aggregate amount not to exceed $4,000,000, minus (c) all noncash income added to
Consolidated Net Income; provided that EBITDAX (and any defined term used herein) for any applicable period shall be calculated on a pro forma basis for any acquisitions or dispositions during such period, as if such acquisition or disposition had
occurred on the first day of such period and, concurrently with such determination, the Issuer shall furnish to the holders of 

 

 2 

 
the Notes audited financial statements or other financing information with respect to such business entity demonstrating to the reasonable satisfaction of the Required Lenders the basis for such
computations.” 
 ““Consolidated Interest Expense” is defined in
Section 5.12(a)(iii).” 
 ““Consolidated Net Income” means with respect to the
Issuer and its Subsidiaries, for any period, the aggregate of the net income (or loss) of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries after allowances for taxes for such period determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles; provided that there shall be excluded from such net income (to the extent otherwise included therein) the following: (a) the net income of any Person in which the Issuer or any Subsidiary has an interest (which interest does not
cause the net income of such other Person to be consolidated with the net income of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), except to the extent of the amount of dividends or distributions
actually paid in cash during such period by such other Person to the Issuer or a Subsidiary, as the case may be; (b) the net income (but not loss) during such period of any Subsidiary to the extent that the declaration or payment of dividends
or similar distributions or transfers or loans by such Subsidiary is not at the time permitted by operation of the terms of its charter or any agreement, instrument or Governmental Requirement applicable to such Subsidiary or is otherwise restricted
or prohibited, in each case determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; (c) the net income (or loss) of any Person acquired in a pooling-of-interests transaction for any period prior to the date of such transaction;
(d) any extraordinary gains or losses during such period and (e) any gains or losses attributable to writeups or writedowns of assets, including ceiling test writedowns and impairments of long-lived assets.”

or (b) any entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative functions of, or pertaining to, any such government.” 

““Governmental Requirement” means any law, statute, code, ordinance, order, determination, rule,
regulation, judgment, decree, injunction, franchise, permit, certificate, license, rules of common law, authorization or other directive or requirement, whether now or hereinafter in effect, of any Governmental Authority.” 

3.3. Section 1.02 of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following at the end thereof:

 “Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of determining compliance with the
financial covenants contained in this Agreement, any election by the Issuer to measure any portion of a non-derivative financial liability at fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification
Section 825-10 or any similar accounting standard), other than to reflect a hedge of such non-derivative financial liability (including both interest rate and foreign currency hedges), shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made
as if such election had not been made.” 
  

 3 

 3.4. Clause (b) of Section 4.04 of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “(b) As of June 2001, there are no
statements or conclusions in the Reserve Report included in the Offering Memorandum provided to the Purchasers regarding reserves which are based upon or include misleading information or fail to take into account material information known to the
Issuer regarding the matters reported therein, it being understood that such statements and conclusions are necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates and forecasts, and the Issuer does not warrant that such opinions, estimates and
forecasts will ultimately prove to have been accurate. Such reserve data has, in the judgment of the Issuer, been properly compiled from engineering tests conducted in accordance with prevailing industry standards.” 

3.5. Section 4.05 of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating in its entirety the
first and second sentences thereof to read as follows: 
 “None of the financial statements and other financial or factual
information included in the Offering Memorandum (excluding estimates, financial projections and pro forma financial statements) contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained therein not misleading as of June 2001. All other financial and reserve information, financial statements and other documents (excluding estimates, projections and pro forma financial information) furnished by the Issuer to the
Purchasers in connection with the Notes and this Agreement and set forth on Schedule 4.05, taken as a whole, do not and will not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made.” 
 3.6. Section 4.10
of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

“Section 4.10 The Issuer and each Subsidiary has valid and defensible title to it material (individually or in the
aggregate) Petroleum Properties and good, valid, defensible and indefeasible title to its other real and personal property, including all such properties reflected in the audited balance sheet for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, except
as sold or otherwise disposed of in compliance with this Agreement, in each case free and clear of all Liens except Liens expressly permitted by Section 5.10. Each lease under which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is the lessee which is
material to the business or operations of the Issuer or the Issuer and its Subsidiaries considered as a whole is valid and subsisting and is in full force and effect.” 

3.7. Schedules 4.05 and 4.15 of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entireties as set
forth on Schedules 4.05 and 4.15, respectively, attached hereto. 
 3.8. Section 5.01 of the Existing Note Purchase
Agreement is hereby amended by (a) re-lettering existing clause (h) thereof as clause (i) and (b) adding the following as a new clause (h):

Base Notice (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) (or similar borrowing base notice under any successor agreement) received by the Issuer; and” 

3.9. Section 5.09 of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 “(a) The ratio of (i) Present Value of Proved Reserves plus Adjusted Cash to (ii) Indebtedness
and Other Liabilities shall at no time be less than 1.75:1 (the “Asset Coverage Ratio”); in addition, for so long as any Bank Credit Agreement is in effect and the Borrowing Base therein is being calculated, at no time shall
Indebtedness and Other Liabilities exceed 115% of the Borrowing Base then in effect; provided however, that if at any time the Borrowing Base shall cease to be calculated under any Bank Credit Agreement, then (x) the ratio of
(i) Indebtedness and Other Liabilities as of the end of any fiscal quarter of the Issuer (commencing with the fiscal quarter ended immediately preceding the date Borrowing Base is no longer being calculated) to (ii) Consolidated EBITDAX
for the period of four fiscal quarters ending on such date shall not be greater than 3.00:1 and (y) the Asset Coverage Ratio shall no longer be calculated hereunder. 
  

 4 

 (b) The Present Value of Proved Reserves will be determined and adjusted
periodically as follows: 
 (i) The calculation of Present Value of Proved Reserves will be determined from the
most recent Reserve Report. 
 (ii) Upon any sale by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of any Petroleum Property
including but not limited to a sale of a lesser interest such as a royalty or a net profit interest to the extent the sale of such lesser interest is not considered to create a Lien (other than the sale of hydrocarbons after severance occurring in
the ordinary course of the Issuer’s business), the calculation of Present Value of Proved Reserves shall be reduced, effective on the date of consummation of such sale, by an amount equal to the Present Value of Proved Reserves attributable to
Proved Reserves included in such sale. 
 (iii) Immediately upon acquisition or development by the Issuer or any
Subsidiary of any Petroleum Property owned directly by the Issuer or any Subsidiary and not reflected in the most recent Reserve Report, the calculation of Present Value of Proved Reserves shall be increased in an amount equal to the Present Value
of Proved Reserves attributable to such Petroleum Property.”
