 Exhibit 4.1 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK 
 General

 The following description summarizes important terms of our capital stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (our “certificate of incorporation”) and our amended and restated bylaws (our “bylaws”), copies of which have been filed by us
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For a complete description of our capital stock, you should refer to our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and applicable provisions of Delaware law. As used in this section, “we,”
“us,” “our,” and “Blackstone” mean The Blackstone Group Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its successors, but not any of its subsidiaries. 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000,000 shares, all with a par value of $0.00001 per share, of which: 

 

	 	•	 	 90,000,000,000 are designated as common stock; and 

 

	 	•	 	 10,000,000,000 are designated as preferred stock, of which (x) 999,999,000 are designated as Series I preferred
stock, (y) 1,000 are designated as Series II preferred stock and (z) the remaining 9,000,000,000 may be designated from time to time in accordance with our certificate of incorporation. 

Capital Stock 
 Our capital stock consists
of common stock, Series I preferred stock and Series II preferred stock. 
 Economic Rights 

Dividends. Subject to preferences that apply to any shares of additional series of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders
of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available therefor if our board of directors, in its discretion, determines to declare and pay dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that our board of
directors may determine. Our certificate of incorporation provides that dividends shall not be declared or paid on our Series I preferred stock or our Series II preferred stock. 

Liquidation. If we become subject to an event giving rise to our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the assets legally available
for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time ranking on a parity with our common stock with respect to such distribution,
subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of additional series of preferred stock. Our certificate of
incorporation provides that upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the holders of our Series I preferred stock and our Series II preferred stock are each entitled to receive, out of our assets available for distribution, distributions
equal to $0.0001 per share of Series I preferred stock and Series II preferred stock, respectively. 
 Voting Rights 

Pursuant to Delaware law, holders of our common stock are entitled to vote with respect to: 

 

	 	•	 	 A conversion of the legal entity form of Blackstone; 

 

	 	•	 	 A transfer, domestication or continuance of Blackstone to a foreign jurisdiction; 

 

	 	•	 	 Any amendment of our certificate of incorporation to change the par value of our common stock or the powers,
preferences or special rights of our common stock in a way that would affect our common stock adversely; 

	 	•	 	 Any amendment of our certificate of incorporation that requires for action the vote of a greater number or
portion of the holders of common stock than is required by any section of Delaware law; and 

  

	 	•	 	 Any amendment of our certificate of incorporation to elect to become a close corporation under Delaware law.

 In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that holders of our common stock and our Series I preferred
stock, voting together as a single class, have the right to vote on the following matters: 
  

	 	•	 	 A sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets, taken
as a whole, in a single transaction or series of related transactions (except (i) for the sole purpose of changing our legal form into another limited liability entity and where the governing instruments of the new entity provide our
stockholders with substantially the same rights and obligations and (ii) mortgages, pledges, hypothecations or grants of a security interest by us in all or substantially all of our assets (including for the benefit of affiliates of the holder
of the Series II preferred stock (the “Series II Preferred Stockholder”)) and any forced sale of any or all of our or our subsidiaries’ assets pursuant to the foreclosure of, or other realization upon, any such encumbrance);

  

	 	•	 	 A merger, consolidation or other combination (except for the sole purpose of changing our legal form into another
limited liability entity and where the governing instruments of the new entity provide our stockholders with substantially the same rights and obligations); 

  

	 	•	 	 The removal of the Series II Preferred Stockholder and forced transfer by the Series II Preferred Stockholder of
its shares of Series II preferred stock and the designation of a successor Series II Preferred Stockholder. See “—Removal of Series II Preferred Stockholder” below; and 

 

	 	•	 	 Any amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws enlarging the obligations of the common stockholders;

  

	 	•	 	 Any amendment of our certificate of incorporation requiring the vote of the holders of a percentage of the voting
power of the outstanding common stock and Series I preferred stock, voting together as a single class, to take any action in a manner that would have the effect of reducing such voting percentage; and 

 

	 	•	 	 Any amendments of our certificate of incorporation that are not included in the specified set of amendments that
the Series II Preferred Stockholder has the sole right to vote on. 

 In addition, our certificate of incorporation
provides that holders of our Series I preferred stock will be entitled to vote separately as a class on certain matters, including any amendment to our certificate of incorporation that changes certain terms of the Series I preferred stock or is
inconsistent with such terms. Delaware law would also permit the holders of our Series I preferred stock to vote separately as a class on any amendment to our certificate of incorporation that changes the par value of the shares of Series I
preferred stock or alters or changes the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series I preferred stock in a way that would affect them adversely. 

Our certificate of incorporation provides that the number of authorized shares of any class of stock, including our common stock, may be
increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of such class then outstanding) solely with the approval of the Series II Preferred Stockholder. As a result, the Series II Preferred Stockholder can approve an increase or decrease in the
number of authorized shares of any class of our stock without a separate vote of the holders of such class of stock. This could allow us to increase and issue additional shares of any class of our stock beyond what is currently authorized in our
certificate of incorporation without the consent of such holders of stock. Blackstone Group Management L.L.C., an entity owned by senior managing directors of Blackstone and controlled by Mr. Schwarzman, is the initial holder of the Series II
preferred stock. 

  
 2 

 Except as described below under “Anti-Takeover Provisions—Loss of voting rights,”
each record holder of common stock will be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock held with respect to any matter on which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote. 

In addition, holders of our Series I preferred stock, as such, will collectively be entitled to a number of votes equal to the aggregate
number of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units (as defined below) held by the limited partners of the Blackstone Holdings Partnerships (as defined below) on the relevant record date and will vote together with holders of our common stock as a
single class. Blackstone Partners L.L.C., an entity owned by senior managing directors of Blackstone and controlled by Mr. Schwarzman, is the initial holder of the Series I preferred stock. If Blackstone Partners L.L.C. directs us to do so, we
will issue one share of Series I preferred stock to each of the limited partners of the Blackstone Holdings Partnerships, whereupon each holder of Series I preferred stock will be entitled to a number of votes that is equal to the number of
Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units held by such holder of Series I preferred stock on the relevant record date. If the holders of common stock become entitled to a number of votes other than one vote per share or the ratio at which Blackstone
Holdings Partnership Units are exchangeable for our common stock changes from a one-for-one basis, the number of votes to which the holders of the Series I preferred
stock are entitled will be adjusted accordingly. 
 No Preemptive or Similar Rights 

The holders of our common stock, Series I preferred stock and Series II preferred stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, and, except in
the case of impermissible transfers of Series II preferred stock, which would result in the cancellation of such Series II preferred stock, are not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions. 

Transferability 

Without the approval of any other stockholder, the Series II Preferred Stockholder may transfer all or any part of the Series II preferred
stock held by it with the prior written approval of our board of directors so long as the transferee agrees to assume the rights and duties of the Series II Preferred Stockholder under our certificate of incorporation, agrees to be bound by the
provisions of our certificate of incorporation and we receive an opinion of counsel regarding certain limited liability matters. The foregoing limitations do not preclude the members or other interest holders of the Series II Preferred Stockholder
from selling or transferring all or part of their outstanding equity or other interests in the Series II Preferred Stockholder at any time. 

Removal of Series II Preferred Stockholder 

The Series II Preferred Stockholder may, upon (i) the approval of the stockholders holding at least
two-thirds of the voting power of our outstanding shares of common stock and Series I preferred stock, voting together as a single class, and (ii) our receipt of an opinion of counsel regarding certain
limited liability and tax matters, be required to transfer its shares of Series II preferred stock to a successor holder of Series II preferred stock designated by the stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of such classes, voting
together as a single class (such designated successor, a “Successor Series II Preferred Stockholder”) (the “Series II Preferred Stockholder Removal”). 

In the event of a Series II Preferred Stockholder Removal under circumstances where cause (as such term is defined in the certificate of
incorporation) exists, the Successor Series II Preferred Stockholder will have the option to purchase the Series II Preferred Stockholder’s shares of Series II preferred stock and the Series II Preferred Stockholder’s general partner
interest (or equivalent interest), if any, in our subsidiaries (collectively, the “Combined Interest”) for a cash payment equal to the fair market value of such Combined Interest. In the event of a Series II Preferred Stockholder Removal
under all other circumstances, the Series II Preferred Stockholder will have the option to require the Successor Series II Preferred Stockholder to purchase its Combined Interest for a cash payment equal to the fair market value of such Combined
Interest. In each case, this fair market value will be determined by agreement between the Series II Preferred Stockholder and the Successor Series II Preferred Stockholder. If no agreement is reached within 30 days after the Series II Preferred
Stockholder Removal, an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert selected by the Series II Preferred Stockholder and the Successor Series II Preferred Stockholder will determine the fair market value. If the Series II
Preferred Stockholder and the Successor Series II Preferred Stockholder cannot agree upon an expert within 45 days of the Series II Preferred Stockholder Removal, then an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert mutually
chosen by the investment banking firms or experts designated by each of them will determine the fair market value. 

  
 3 

 If the option described above is not exercised by either the Series II Preferred Stockholder or
the Successor Series II Preferred Stockholder, we will issue to the Series II Preferred Stockholder (or its transferee) shares of common stock having a value equal to the Combined Interest determined pursuant to a valuation of such Combined Interest
as determined by an investment banking firm or other independent expert selected in the manner described in the preceding paragraph, without reduction in such shares of Series II preferred stock (but subject to proportionate dilution by reason of
the Successor Series II Preferred Stockholder). 
 In addition, we are required to reimburse the Series II Preferred Stockholder for all
amounts due to the Series II Preferred Stockholder, including all employee-related liabilities, including severance liabilities, incurred for the termination of any employees employed by the Series II Preferred Stockholder or its affiliates for our
benefit. 
 Exchange 

The limited partner interests (the “Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units”) in Blackstone Holdings I L.P., Blackstone Holdings AI
L.P., Blackstone Holdings II L.P., Blackstone Holdings III L.P., and Blackstone Holdings IV L.P. (collectively, the “Blackstone Holdings Partnerships”) are exchangeable for our common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary adjustments for splits, unit distributions and reclassifications and compliance with applicable lock-up, vesting and transfer
restrictions. When Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units are exchanged for shares of common stock, the number of votes to which the shares of our Series I preferred stock are entitled shall automatically be reduced by the number of Blackstone
Holdings Partnership Units so exchanged. 
 Limited Call Right 

If at any time less than 10% of the then issued and outstanding shares of any class (other than Series I preferred stock and Series II
preferred stock) is held by persons other than the Series II Preferred Stockholder and its affiliates, we will have the right, which we may assign in whole or in part to the Series II Preferred Stockholder or any of its affiliates, to acquire all,
but not less than all, of the remaining shares of the class held by unaffiliated persons as of a record date to be selected by us, on at least ten but not more than 60 days notice. The purchase price in the event of this purchase is the greater of:

  

	 	(1)	 the current market price as of the date three days before the date the notice is mailed, and

  

	 	(2)	 the highest cash price paid by us or any of our affiliates for any share of the class purchased within the 90
days preceding the date on which we first mail notice of our election to purchase those shares. 

 As a result of our
right to purchase outstanding shares of stock, including common stock, as described in the foregoing paragraph, a stockholder may have their shares purchased at an undesirable time or price. 

Additional Series of Preferred Stock 

Our board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to
establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers (including voting powers), preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or
restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders (except as may be required by the terms of any preferred stock then outstanding). Our board of directors can also increase (but not above the total number of shares of
preferred stock then authorized and available for issuance and not committed for other issuance) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series of preferred stock without any
further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the proportion of voting power held by, or other relative rights of, the
holders of our common stock. The issuance of additional series of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring
or preventing a change in our control of our company and might adversely affect the market price of the common stock or the proportion of voting power held by, or other relative rights of, the holders of the common stock.

 Conflicts of Interest 

Delaware law permits corporations to adopt provisions renouncing any interest or expectancy in certain opportunities that are presented to the
corporation or its officers, directors or stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by Delaware law, renounces any interest or expectancy that we have in any business ventures of (a) the
Series II Preferred Stockholder, (b) our former general partner, (c) any person who is or was a controlling affiliate of the Series II Preferred Stockholder or our former general partner, (d) any person who is or was a director or
officer of Blackstone, the Series II Preferred Stockholder or our former general partner, (e) any person in clause (d) who is or was serving at the request of Blackstone, the Series II Preferred Stockholder or our former general partner as
an officer, director, employee, member, partner, agent, fiduciary or trustee of another person (subject to certain limitations) and (f) certain other persons designated by the Corporation (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), except with
respect to any corporate opportunity expressly offered to any Indemnitee solely through their service to us or our subsidiaries. Our certificate of incorporation provides that each Indemnitee has the right to engage in businesses of every type and
description, including business interests and activities in direct competition with our business and activities. Our certificate of incorporation also waives and renounces any interest or expectancy that we may have in, or right to be offered an
opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time presented to the Indemnitees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, the Series II Preferred Stockholder, for so long as it owns
Series II preferred stock, has agreed that its sole business will be to act as the Series II Preferred Stockholder and as a general partner or managing member of any partnership or limited liability company that we may hold an interest in and that
it will not engage in any business or activity or incur any debts or liabilities except (x) in connection therewith or incidental thereto or (y) in connection with or incidental to the acquisition, owning or disposing of debt or equity
securities of us or any of our subsidiaries. 
 Anti-Takeover Provisions 

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) contain provisions, which are
summarized in the following paragraphs, that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened
acquisition of our company. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce our vulnerability to a hostile change in control or other unsolicited acquisition proposal, and enhance the ability of our board of directors to
maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire us. However, these provisions may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a merger or acquisition of our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest
or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders. 

Common stock. Our certificate of incorporation provides that generally, with respect to any matter on which the common stock is
entitled to vote, such vote shall require a majority in voting power or more of all the outstanding common stock and Series I preferred stock, voting together as a single class. With respect to any matter as to which common stock may be entitled to
vote, depending on the number of shares of outstanding shares of common stock and Series I preferred stock actually voted, our senior managing directors, as the owners of Blackstone Partners L.L.C., the initial holder of Series I preferred stock,
and the persons to whom the shares of Series I preferred stock will be issued at the direction of Blackstone Partners L.L.C., should generally have sufficient voting power to significantly influence matters subject to the vote. Given the nature of
the voting rights of our common stock, which is the class of our capital stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), we believe based on discussions with the NYSE that the stockholder approval requirements of the NYSE do not
apply. 
 Election of directors. Subject to the rights granted to one or more additional series of preferred stock then outstanding,
the Series II Preferred Stockholder has the sole authority to elect directors. 

  
 5 

 Removal of directors. Subject to the rights granted to one or more additional series of
preferred stock then outstanding, the Series II Preferred Stockholder has the sole authority to remove and replace any director, with or without cause, at any time. 

Vacancies. In addition, our bylaws also provide that, subject to the rights granted to one or more additional series of preferred stock
then outstanding, any newly created directorship on the board of directors that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on our board of directors will be filled only by the Series II Preferred Stockholder. 

Loss of voting rights. If at any time any person or group (other than the Series II Preferred Stockholder and its affiliates, a direct
or indirect transferee of the Series II Preferred Stockholder or its affiliates (provided that, with respect to any indirect transferee, our board of directors shall have provided such transferee with written notification that this limitation shall
not apply) or a person or group that has acquired such stock with the prior approval of our board of directors) acquires, in the aggregate, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the common stock then outstanding, that person or group will lose
voting rights on all of its shares of common stock and such shares of common stock may not be voted on any matter as to which the holders of such shares of common stock may be entitled to vote and will not be considered to be outstanding when
sending notices of a meeting of stockholders, calculating required votes, determining the presence of a quorum or for other similar purposes, in each case, as applicable and to the extent the holders of such shares of common stock are entitled to
any vote. 
 Requirements for advance notification of stockholder proposals. Stockholders are only permitted to make stockholder
proposals with respect to the limited matters on which they are entitled to vote. Further, our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals relating to the limited matters on which the holders of our common stock
may be entitled to vote. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual
meeting of stockholders. Our bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. Our bylaws allow the chairman of the meeting at a meeting of the stockholders to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of
meetings, which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the rules and regulations are not followed. These provisions may deter, delay or discourage a potential acquirer from attempting to influence or obtain
control of our company. 
 Special stockholder meetings. Our certificate of incorporation provides that special meetings of our
stockholders may be called at any time only by or at the direction of our board of directors, the Series II Preferred Stockholder or, if at any time any stockholders other than the Series II Preferred Stockholder are entitled under applicable law or
our certificate of incorporation to vote on specific matters proposed to be brought before a special meeting, stockholders owning 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding stock of the class or classes of stock which are entitled to vote at
such meeting. Common stock and Series I preferred stock are considered the same class for this purpose. 
 Stockholder action by written
consent. Pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents
in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of our stock
entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise or it conflicts with the rules of the NYSE. Our certificate of incorporation permits the Series II Preferred Stockholder to act by written
consent. Under our certificate of incorporation, stockholders (other than the Series II Preferred Stockholder) may only act by written consent if consented to by the Series II Preferred Stockholder. 

Amendments to our certificate of incorporation requiring only Series II Preferred Stockholder approval. Except as otherwise expressly
provided by applicable law, only the vote of the Series II Preferred Stockholder, together with the approval of our board of directors, shall be required in order to amend certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and none of our other
stockholders shall have the right to vote with respect to any such amendments, which include, without limitation: 
  

	 	(1)	 a change in our name, our registered agent or our registered office; 

  
 6 

	 	(2)	 an amendment that our board of directors has determined to be necessary or appropriate to address changes in
U.S. federal income tax regulations, legislation or interpretation; 

  

	 	(3)	 an amendment that is necessary, in the opinion of our counsel, to prevent us or our directors, officers,
trustees or agents from having a material risk of being in any manner subjected to the provisions of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or “plan asset” regulations
adopted under the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, whether or not substantially similar to plan asset regulations currently applied or proposed by the U.S. Department of Labor; 

 

	 	(4)	 an amendment that is a change in our fiscal year or taxable year or that our board of directors has determined
is necessary or appropriate as a result of such change; 

  

	 	(5)	 an amendment that our board of directors has determined to be necessary or appropriate for the creation,
authorization or issuance of any class or series of our capital stock or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights relating to our capital stock; 

  

	 	(6)	 any amendment expressly permitted in our certificate of incorporation to be voted on solely by the Series II
Preferred Stockholder acting alone; 

  

	 	(7)	 an amendment effected, necessitated or contemplated by an agreement of merger, consolidation or other business
combination agreement that has been approved under the terms of our certificate of incorporation; 

  

	 	(8)	 an amendment effected, necessitated or contemplated by an amendment to the partnership agreement of a
Blackstone Holdings Partnership that requires unitholders of the Blackstone Holdings Partnership to provide a statement, certification or other proof of evidence regarding whether such unitholder is subject to U.S. federal income taxation on the
income generated by the Blackstone Holdings Partnership; 

  

	 	(9)	 any amendment that our board of directors has determined is necessary or appropriate to reflect and account for
our formation of, or our investment in, any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other entity, in connection with the conduct of the activities permitted by our certificate of incorporation; 

 

	 	(10)	 any amendment that reflects a merger into, or conveyance of all of our assets to, another limited liability
entity that is newly formed and has no assets, liabilities or operations at the time of the merger or conveyance other than those it receives by way of the merger or conveyance consummated solely to effect a mere change in our legal form, the
governing instruments of which provide the stockholders with substantially the same rights and obligations as provided by our certificate of incorporation; or 

 

	 	(11)	 any other amendments substantially similar to any of the matters described in (1) through (10) above or
the immediately following paragraph. 

 In addition, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Series II
Preferred Stockholder, together with the approval of our board of directors, can amend our certificate of incorporation without the approval of any other stockholder to adopt any amendments that our board of directors has determined: 

 

	 	(1)	 do not adversely affect the stockholders (other than the Series II Preferred Stockholder) considered as a whole
(including any particular class or series of stock as compared to other classes or series) in any material respect; 

  
 7 

	 	(2)	 are necessary or appropriate to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any opinion,
directive, order, ruling or regulation of any federal or state or non-U.S. agency or judicial authority or contained in any federal or state or non-U.S. statute
(including the DGCL); 

  

	 	(3)	 are necessary or appropriate to facilitate the trading of our stock or to comply with any rule, regulation,
guideline or requirement of any securities exchange on which our stock is or will be listed for trading; 

  

	 	(4)	 are necessary or appropriate for any action taken by us relating to distributions, splits or combinations of
shares of our capital stock under the provisions of our certificate of incorporation; or 

  

	 	(5)	 are required to effect the intent of or are otherwise contemplated by our certificate of incorporation.

 Super-majority requirements for certain amendments to our certificate of incorporation. Except for amendments to
our certificate of incorporation that require only the approval of the Series II Preferred Stockholder, any amendments to our certificate of incorporation require, in addition to the consent of the Series II Preferred Stockholder, the vote or
consent of stockholders holding at least 90% of the voting power of our common stock and Series I preferred stock, voting together as a single class, unless we obtain an opinion of counsel confirming that such amendment would not affect the limited
liability of any stockholder under the DGCL. Any amendment of this provision of our certificate of incorporation also requires the vote or consent of stockholders holding at least 90% in voting power of our common stock and Series I preferred stock,
voting together as a single class. 
 Merger, sale or other disposition of assets. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we
may, with the approval of the Series II Preferred Stockholder and with the approval of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of our common stock and Series I preferred stock, voting together as a single class, sell, exchange or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, or consummate any merger, consolidation or other similar combination, or approve the sale, exchange or other disposition of all
or substantially all of the assets of our subsidiaries, except that no approval of our common stock and Series I preferred stock shall be required in the case of certain limited transactions involving our reorganization into another limited
liability entity. See “—Capital Stock—Voting Rights.” We may in our sole discretion mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in all or substantially all of our assets (including for the benefit of persons other
than us or our subsidiaries) without the prior approval of the holders of our common stock and Series I preferred stock. We may also sell all or substantially all of our assets under any forced sale of any or all of our assets pursuant to the
foreclosure or other realization upon those encumbrances without the prior approval of the holders of our common stock and Series I preferred stock. 

Exclusive Forum 
 To prevent having to
litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, our amended and restated bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an
alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action asserting a
breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders or employees to us or our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against us arising under the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or
our bylaws (as may be amended or restated) or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. 

In addition, Section 22 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), creates concurrent jurisdiction for
federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. As such,
our bylaws further provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the
resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the federal securities laws of the United States, including, in each case, the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. It is possible that a court could find our
forum selection provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable and, accordingly, we could be required to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions, incur additional costs or otherwise not receive the benefits that we expect our forum selection
provisions to provide. 

  
 8 

 To the fullest extent permitted by law, any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or
holding any interest in shares of capital stock of our company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. However, investors will not be deemed to have waived
compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder as a result of our forum selection provisions. 
 Business
Combinations 
 We have opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL, which provides that an “interested stockholder” (a person
other than the corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or, if such person is an affiliate or associate of the corporation, within three years did own, 15% or more of the
outstanding voting stock of a corporation) may not engage in “business combinations” (which is broadly defined to include a number of transactions, such as mergers, consolidations, asset sales and other transactions in which an interested
stockholder receives or could receive a financial benefit on other than a pro rata basis with other stockholders) with the corporation for a period of three years after the date on which the person became an interested stockholder without certain
statutorily mandated approvals.

excess of 12 months).

 ARTICLE III. 

THE NOTES 
 SECTION 3.01 Form and
Dating. 
 (a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have other notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a
part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note
conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 (b) Global
Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in
definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent
such aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, repurchases, transfers of interests and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any
increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as
required by Section 3.06 hereof. Notes initially offered and sold to QIBs in the United States in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued in the form of one or more QIB Global Notes, duly executed by the Company and the Guarantors and
authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S will be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S Global Note, which will be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes
represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed
by the Company and the Guarantors and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note that are held by
Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream. 
 SECTION 3.02 Execution and Authentication. 

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual, facsimile or other electronic (including “.pdf”) signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be
valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence
that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

  
 46 

 The Trustee will authenticate and deliver: (i) Initial Notes for original issue in an
aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million and (ii) if and when issued, Additional Notes, in each case upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company (an “Authentication Order”) and, in the
case of Additional Notes, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate stating such Additional Notes are permitted to be incurred under Section 5.09 and are permitted to be secured as Parity Lien Debt under Section 5.12. Such order shall
specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes
authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 3.07 hereof. 
 The
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes
authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company. 

SECTION 3.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company will maintain an office or agency in the United States where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) which, if any Definitive Notes are outstanding, will be in the State of New York. The Registrar will keep a
register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in
writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
(other than a Foreign Subsidiary) may act as Paying Agent. 
 The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee in New York,
New York to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Notes Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 
 SECTION 3.04 Paying Agent to
Hold Money in Trust. 
 The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will
hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment.
While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the
Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a 

  
 47 

 
Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders
all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

SECTION 3.05 Holder Lists. 
 The
Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the
Company will furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the
names and addresses of the Holders, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). 
 SECTION 3.06 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by
the Company for Definitive Notes if: 
 (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is
unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice
from the Depositary; or 
 (ii) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default and the Depositary so
requests. 
 Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the
Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 3.07 and 3.10 hereof. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note (or vice versa) other than as provided in
this Section 3.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 3.06(b) or (c) hereof. 

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global
Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set
forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other
following subparagraphs, as applicable: 

  
 48 

 (i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note.
Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and, if applicable, the transfer restrictions
set forth in the Private Placement Legend. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 3.06(b)(i). 

(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and
exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 3.06(b)(i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must, as applicable, deliver to the Registrar either: 

(A) both: 

(1) a written order from a Participant or an indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and 

(2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account
to be credited with such increase; or 
 (B) both: 

(1) written order from a Participant or an indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and 

(2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such
Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above. 
 Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for
transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act or the Applicable Procedures, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant
Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 3.06(g) hereof. 
 (iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted
Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of
Section 3.06(b)(ii) above and the Registrar receives the following, in each case as applicable: 

  
 49 

 (A) If the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial
interest in the QIB Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and

opinion or other certification to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to such an exemption;

shall instruct the Registrar through instructions from the Depositary and the Participant or indirect Participant. The Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. Any Definitive Note issued

REQUEST OF THE HOLDER OR THE ISSUER ON OR AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE. 

  
 53 

 BY ITS ACQUISITION AND HOLDING OF THIS SECURITY, THE HOLDER THEREOF WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE
REPRESENTED, WARRANTED AND AGREED THAT EITHER (I) NO PORTION OF THE ASSETS USED BY SUCH HOLDER TO ACQUIRE OR HOLD THIS SECURITY (OR ANY INTEREST IN THIS SECURITY) CONSTITUTES THE ASSETS OF AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN SUBJECT TO THE FIDUCIARY
RESPONSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS OF TITLE I OF ERISA, OF A PLAN, INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT OR OTHER ARRANGEMENT SUBJECT TO SECTION 4975 OF THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”), A GOVERNMENTAL, CHURCH, NON-U.S., OR OTHER PLAN WHICH IS SUBJECT TO ANY FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER LAWS OR REGULATIONS THAT ARE SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO SUCH PROVISIONS OF ERISA OR THE
CODE (“SIMILAR LAWS”), OR AN ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS ARE CONSIDERED TO INCLUDE “PLAN ASSETS” BY REASON OF SUCH PLAN’S, ACCOUNT’S OR OTHER ARRANGEMENT’S INVESTMENT IN THE ENTITY, OR (II) THE ACQUISITION,
HOLDING AND DISPOSITION OF THIS SECURITY WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A NON-EXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR, IN THE CASE OF A PLAN THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO ERISA OR SECTION 4975
OF THE CODE, A SIMILAR VIOLATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE SIMILAR LAWS. 
 IN THE CASE OF REGULATION S NOTES: BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE
HOLDER HEREOF REPRESENTS THAT IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON NOR IS IT PURCHASING FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.” 

(ii) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note will bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

“THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF
THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY

 54 

 UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE
MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR
A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (55 WATER STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK) (“DTC”), TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF

ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST
HEREIN.” 
 (g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global
Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with
Section 3.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or
for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Registrar to reflect
such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an
endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes
and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 3.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 

(ii) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note
for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar
governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 3.10, 4.06, 4.10, 5.15 and 10.05 hereof). 

  
 55 

 (iii) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such
registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (iv) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required: 

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15

redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or 
 (C) to register the
transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date. 
 (v) Prior to due
presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”)
shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee or the Notes Custodian as its custodian, or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company,
any Guarantor, the Trustee or the Notes Custodian and any agent of the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee or the Notes Custodian as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the
registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder of Notes is entitled to take under this
Indenture or the Notes and (B) nothing herein shall prevent the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, or any agent of the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Note.

 (vi) The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.02 hereof. 
 (vii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the
Registrar pursuant to this Section 3.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 

  
 56 

 SECTION 3.07 Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or the Company and the Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note (accompanied by a notation of any Guarantees duly endorsed) if the Registrar’s
requirements are met. If required by the Registrar or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Registrar, the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and
any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 SECTION 3.08 Outstanding Notes. 

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 3.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 3.09 hereof, a
Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant
to Section 3.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the
Uniform Commercial Code). 
 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 5.01 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any
thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 

SECTION 3.09 Treasury Notes. 
 In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent,
only Notes that a Responsible Officer knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 

  
 57 

 SECTION 3.10 Temporary Notes. 

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

SECTION 3.11 Cancellation. 
 The
Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will
cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of the canceled Notes in accordance with its normal procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange
Act). Certification of the disposition of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company upon written request. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 SECTION 3.12 Defaulted Interest. 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the
extent lawful, interest on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 5.01. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. At least 15
days before any special record date selected by the Company, the Company (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company upon 20 days’ prior written notice from the Company setting forth such special record date and the
interest amount to be paid) shall mail to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

SECTION 3.13 CUSIP Numbers. 
 The
Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers and corresponding “ISINs” (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers and corresponding “ISINs” in notices of redemption as
a convenience to the Holders thereof; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption
and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 

SECTION 3.14 Issuance of Additional Notes. 

After the Issue Date, the Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 5.09 and Section 5.12, to issue
Additional Notes under this Indenture, which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance. With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a Board
Resolution and an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 

  
 58 

 (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and
delivered pursuant to this Indenture; 
 (b) the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes; 

(c) the date from which interest shall accrue on such Additional Notes; and 

(d) the other statements required by Section 3.02. 

ARTICLE IV. 
 REDEMPTION AND
PURCHASE 
 SECTION 4.01 Notice to the Trustee. 

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 4.08 hereof, it shall notify the Trustee
of the redemption date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. The Company shall so notify the Trustee at least 15 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) by delivering to the Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the provisions of this Indenture and of the Notes. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to the mailing of such notice of such redemption to any Holder and shall
thereupon be void and of no effect. 
 SECTION 4.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata
basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate or require unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of
redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note.
Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption, unless a condition precedent to redemption set forth in the notice of redemption as described in Section 4.03 has not been satisfied. 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Registrar in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes
selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. No Notes of $2,000 or less in principal amount can be redeemed or purchased in part. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples
of $1,000 in excess thereof, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased. 

  
 59 

 For purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any of the Notes redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been or is to be redeemed. 

SECTION 4.03 Notice of Redemption. 

Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail (or in the case of Global Notes, delivered electronically in accordance with the
procedures of the depositary) at least 15 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be given more than 60 days prior to a redemption date
if the notice is issued in connection with a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article IX, or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article XII. Notices of any optional redemption may, at the
Company’s option, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, without limitation, consummation of a Change of Control, an incurrence of Indebtedness and the consummation of a Qualified Equity Offering. 

All notices of redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the redemption date; 
 (b)
the redemption price (or the method by which it will be calculated); 
 (c) that, unless the Company and the Guarantors default in making
the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is to receive payment of the redemption price upon surrender to the Paying
Agent of the Notes redeemed; 
 (d) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed
and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; 

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

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

(g) the CUSIP number, if any, relating to the Notes and that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number,
if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 
 (h) if such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more
conditions precedent, any conditions for such redemption. 

  
 60 

 Notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given
by the Company or, at the Company’s written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 
 If such
redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more condition precedent, the related notice shall, if applicable, state that, in the Company’s discretion, the date of such redemption may be delayed until such time as any or all such
conditions shall be satisfied or waived (provided in no event shall such date of redemption be delayed to a date later than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission), or such
redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption, or by the date of redemption as so delayed. The Company shall provide written
notice of the delay of such date of redemption or the rescission of such notice of redemption to the Trustee no later than the Business Day prior to the date set for redemption. Upon receipt of such notice of the delay of such date of redemption or
the rescission of such notice of redemption, such date of redemption shall be automatically delayed or such notice of redemption shall be automatically rescinded, as applicable, and the redemption of the Notes shall be automatically delayed or
rescinded and cancelled, as applicable, as provided in such notice; provided that the Company shall give the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days’ notice (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) of any new
redemption date. 
 SECTION 4.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and
payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price, subject to satisfaction of any conditions thereto. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes called for redemption shall be paid at the redemption price, but interest installments due
on or prior to such redemption date will be payable on the relevant interest payment dates to the Holders of record of such Notes at the close of business on the relevant record dates. 

SECTION 4.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any redemption date, the Company or a Guarantor will deposit with the Trustee or with the
Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company or such Guarantor any money deposited with the
Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company or such Guarantor in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed. 

If the Company or a Guarantor complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, provided the
redemption price has been paid in full, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment, and the Holders of such Notes shall have no further rights with
respect to such Notes except for the right to receive the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on such Notes upon surrender of such Notes. If a Note is redeemed on or after an 

  
 61 

 
interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of
business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption is not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company or a Guarantor to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal,
from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful, on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 5.01 hereof. 

SECTION 4.06 Notes Redeemed in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will
authenticate for the Holder of such Note at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered. 

SECTION 4.07 Purchase of Notes. 

The Company, any Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Company or any Guarantor may, subject to applicable law, at any time purchase or otherwise
acquire Notes in the open market or by private agreement. Any such acquisition shall not operate as or be deemed for any purpose to be a redemption of the indebtedness represented by such Notes. Any Notes purchased or acquired by the Company or a
Guarantor may be delivered to the Trustee and, upon such delivery, the indebtedness represented thereby shall be deemed to be satisfied. Section 3.11 shall apply to all Notes so delivered. 

SECTION 4.08 Optional Redemption. 

(a) On and after March 1, 2024, the Notes will be subject to redemption on one or more occasions at the option of the Company, in whole
or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of the Notes on
the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on March 1 of the years indicated below: 

 

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2024
	  	 	103.438	% 
	 2025
	  	 	101.719	% 
	 2026 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 On or prior to March 1, 2024, the Company may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date) at a redemption price equal to 106.875% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the
redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings;
provided that: 

  
 62 

 (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (including any
Additional Notes) issued remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; and 
 (ii) each such
redemption occurs within 180 days after the date of the closing of each such Qualified Equity Offering. 
 Prior to March 1, 2024, the
Company may at its option on one or more occasions redeem all or part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Amounts, if any, to but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

(b) The Company (which, for the purposes of this Section 4.08(b) refers to a Person succeeding the Company that is organized or existing
in a Permitted Foreign Jurisdiction) may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders of the Notes (which notice will be irrevocable
and given in accordance with the procedures described in Section 4.02), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed by us for redemption (a
“Tax Redemption Date”) and all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the rights of Holders of the Notes on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect thereof), if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, the Company is or would be required to
pay Additional Amounts, and the Company cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new paying agent), and the requirement arises as a result of: 

(i) any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the relevant Tax
Jurisdiction (as defined above) affecting taxation, which change or amendment has not been publicly announced before and which becomes effective on or after the date on which the Tax Jurisdiction imposing the relevant withholding or deduction became
the applicable Tax Jurisdiction under this Indenture; or 
 (ii) any change in, or amendment to, the existing official
written position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published practice), which change,
amendment, application or interpretation has not been publicly announced before and becomes effective on or after the date on which the Tax Jurisdiction imposing the relevant withholding or deduction became the applicable Tax Jurisdiction under this
Indenture. 
 In the case of Additional Amounts required to be paid as a result of our conducting business other than in the place of our
organization, such amendment or change must be announced and become effective on or after the date in which the Company begins to conduct business giving rise to the relevant withholding or deduction. 

  
 63 

 The Company will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 60 days prior to the
earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to make such payment or withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due, and at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts must remain in effect. Prior
to the publication or, where relevant, mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee (such approval not
to be unreasonably withheld) to the effect that there has been such change or amendment which would entitle us to redeem such Notes hereunder. In addition, before the Company publishes or mails notice of redemption of the Notes as described above,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Company cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it. 

The Trustee will accept, and will be entitled to rely solely on, such Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive proof
of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described in the immediately preceding paragraph, in which event such satisfaction of the conditions precedent will be conclusive and binding on the Holders. 

(c) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 4.08 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 4.01 through 4.06 hereof. 

SECTION 4.09 Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds. 

In the event that, pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof, the Company is required to commence an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders to purchase
Notes and, to the extent other Indebtedness as specified therein, it will follow the procedures specified below. 
 The Asset Sale Offer
will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than
five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and other Indebtedness as specified in
Section 5.10(e) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and such other Indebtedness validly tendered and not withdrawn in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same
manner as interest payments are made. 
 Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company will send, by first class mail, a notice
to each of the Holders (or in the case of Global Notes, electronic notice in accordance with the procedures of the depositary), with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to
tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state: 

(a) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.09 and Section 5.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset
Sale Offer will remain open; 

  
 64 

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

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

(d) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to
accrue interest on and after the Purchase Date; 
 (e) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will
be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a Depositary, if
appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the end of the Offer Period; 
 (f) that Holders
will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder,
the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 

(g) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and other Indebtedness as contemplated by
Section 5.10(e) surrendered by Holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount
of tendered Notes and such other Indebtedness (except that any Notes represented by a Note in global form will be selected by such method as the Depositary or its nominee or successor may require or, where the nominee or successor is the Trustee, a
method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate), based on the amounts tendered or required to be redeemed (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes
in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and 
 (h) that Holders whose Notes
were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer), which unpurchased portion must be
equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 On or before the Purchase Date, the Company
will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the principal amount of Notes or portions thereof required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 4.09 (or, if less than the Offer Amount has
been tendered, all Notes tendered), and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company
in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.09. The Company, a Guarantor, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an
amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted 

  
 65 

 
by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be
transferred by book-entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the
Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date. 
 ARTICLE V.

 COVENANTS 
 SECTION 5.01 Payment of
Notes. 
 The Company shall pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes on the dates and in the manner
provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Guarantor or other Restricted Subsidiary) holds as of 11:00 a.m. New York time on that
date money deposited by the Company or a Guarantor designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due. All payments made by the Company under or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear
of and without withhold or reduction for, or on account of, any taxes, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes is then required by law. 

The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal, at a rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; and it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under
any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

SECTION 5.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company will maintain in the contiguous United States, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the
Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, where Notes may be presented for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company or a Guarantor in respect of the
Notes and this Indenture may be served; provided, however that the Company may, at its option, pay interest on the Notes by check mailed to Holders of the Notes at their registered address as it appears in the Registrar’s books.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Guarantors 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 and the Guarantors with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

  
 66 

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

The Company hereby designates the office of U.S. Bank Trust National Association, 100 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005 as one such office or
agency of the Company in accordance with Section 3.04. 
 SECTION 5.03 Reports; Financial Statements. 

(a) Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the
Company will furnish to the Trustee and the Holders of Notes (or, to the extent permitted by the Commission, file with the Commission for public availability), within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations
applicable to the Company, taking into account any extension of time, deemed filing date or safe harbor contemplated or provided for by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act: 

(i) all quarterly and annual financial and other information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries that would be
required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Company’s certified independent accountants; and 

(ii) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form
8-K if the Company were required to file such reports. 
 So long as the Company is required to file
periodic reports under Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company’s obligation to deliver the information referred to above shall be deemed satisfied upon the filing such information with the Commission using the
EDGAR system and such information is publicly available. 
 (b) If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted
Subsidiaries, and such Unrestricted Subsidiaries’ total assets (determined in accordance with GAAP) as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year exceed an amount equal to 5% of the consolidated total assets of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 5.03(a) shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes to the financial
statements or exhibits, of the financial condition of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(c) The Company and the Guarantors, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, shall furnish to the Holders and to prospective investors,
upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

  
 67 

 (d) Any Default or Event of Default arising from a failure to furnish on a timely basis any
financial information required by Section 5.03(a) (and any related Event of Default as a result from such failure) will be deemed cured (and the Company will be deemed to be in compliance with Section 5.03(a)) upon furnishing such
financial information (but without regard for the date on which such information is furnished; provided that such cure occurs prior to an acceleration of the Notes, with any such acceleration not annulled, rescinded or waived by such cure).

 (e) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee and its respective receipt thereof shall not constitute actual or
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s and the Guarantors’ compliance with any of their covenants. 

SECTION 5.04 Compliance Certificate. 

(a) The Company and the Guarantors shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after
the Issue Date, a certificate signed by an Officer of the Company and each Guarantor, respectively, which need not constitute an Officer’s Certificate, and stating a review of the activities of the Company during the preceding fiscal year has

Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

SECTION 5.05 Taxes. 
 The Company
shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such

 SECTION 5.06 Waiver of Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

Each of the Company and the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead,
or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the
Company and the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

payment of principal at the Stated Maturity thereof); or

or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; 
 (B) the Company would,
at the time of such Restricted Payment and immediately after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been

(3) with respect to any Restricted Investments made by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in any Person after

any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary (or the property or assets disposed of, as applicable) as of the date of such redesignation, merger, consolidation, transfer, disposition or liquidation; plus 

(D) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company from the issue or sale of debt securities of the Company

employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination), or from the substantially
concurrent contribution of common equity capital to the Company, with a sale or contribution being deemed substantially concurrent if such Restricted Payment occurs not more than 120 days after such sale or contribution; provided that the
amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment shall be excluded from clause (iv)(C)(2) of Section 5.07(a); 

  
 71 

 (iii) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase, retirement or other
acquisition of Subordinated Debt with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of, or in exchange for, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; 

(iv) the payment of any dividend or distribution by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries (and if such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, to the other holders of its Capital Stock on a pro rata basis); 

(v) repurchases, redemptions, defeasances, retirements or other acquisitions of Subordinated Debt of the Company or any
Guarantor at a purchase price not greater than (i) 101% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Debt in the event of a Change of Control or (ii) 100% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Debt in the event of an Asset Sale, in each case
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the extent required by the terms of such Indebtedness, but only if: 
 (A) in
the case of a Change of Control, the Company has first or simultaneously complied with and fully satisfied its obligations in accordance with Section 5.15; or 

(B) in the case of an Asset Sale, the Company has first or simultaneously complied with and fully satisfied its obligations in
accordance with Section 5.10; 
 (vi) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company held by any current or former employee, officer or director of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the
aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests shall not exceed $3.0 million in any calendar year (with any portion of such $3.0 million amount that is unused in any calendar year to be
carried forward to successive calendar years and added to such amount) plus, to the extent not previously applied or included, (A) the net cash proceeds received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from sales of Equity
Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to employees or directors of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries that occur after the Issue Date (to the extent the cash proceeds from the sale of such Equity Interests have not otherwise been applied
to the payment of Restricted Payments by virtue of clause (iv)(C)(2) of Section 5.07(a)) and (B) the net cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date;

 (vii) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of (A) Equity Interests by the Company in
connection with the exercise of stock options, stock appreciation rights, warrants or other rights to acquire Equity Interests by way of cashless exercise or (B) Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company held
by any current or former officers, directors or employees of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the exercise or vesting of any equity compensation (including, without limitation, stock options, restricted stock and
phantom stock) in order to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to such exercise or vesting; 

  
 72 

 (viii) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends or distributions to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Company or any Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company issued on
or after the date of the indenture in accordance with Section 5.09; 
 (ix) cash payments in lieu of the issuance of
fractional shares; 
 (x) any catch-up payment required to prevent any subordinated
indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from being treated as an “applicable high yield discount obligation” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code; 

(xi) the distribution, as a dividend or otherwise, of shares of Capital Stock of, or Indebtedness owed to the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary by, Unrestricted Subsidiaries; and 
 (xii) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to
exceed the greater of (x) $25.0 million and (y) 3.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, determined as of the date of each such Restricted Payment. 

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 5.07, in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one
of the categories of Restricted Payments described in Section 5.07(a), clauses (i)-(xii) of Section 5.07(b) or as a Permitted Investment, the Company will be permitted to divide or classify (or later
divide, classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such Restricted Payment in any manner that complies with this Section. 

(c) The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such designation would not cause a
Default. For purposes of making such determination, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid in cash) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments at the time
of such designation. All such outstanding Investments will be deemed to constitute Investments in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Investments at the time of such designation. Such designation will only be permitted if such
Restricted Payment would be permitted at such time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s)
or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant
will be determined, in the case of amounts under $40.0 million, by an Officer of the Company and, in the case of amounts greater than or equal to $40.0 million, by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose resolution with respect
thereto will be delivered to the Trustee. 

  
 73 

 SECTION 5.08 Limitation on Dividends and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 

(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on its Capital Stock, or
pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the priority that any series of Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary has in receiving dividends, distributions or
liquidating distributions before dividends, distributions or liquidating distributions are paid in respect of common stock of such Restricted Subsidiary shall not constitute a restriction on the ability to make dividends or distributions on Capital
Stock for purposes of this Section 5.08; 
 (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries; or 
 (iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(b) The provisions of Section 5.09(a) will not prohibit encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 

(i) (A) agreements governing the Credit Facilities, any instrument governing Existing Indebtedness or any other agreement
or instrument, each as in effect on the Issue Date, (B) agreements governing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 5.09, and (C) any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,
replacements or refinancings of the agreements and instruments referred to in clauses (A) and (B) or the Indebtedness to which those agreements relate; provided that, in the case of clauses (B) and (C), the encumbrances and
restrictions therein are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in (x) this Indenture and the Notes or (y) agreements or instruments in effect on the Issue Date, in each case as determined by the Company in
its reasonable and good faith judgment; 
 (ii) any SAR Contract or any related agreement; 

(iii) this Indenture and the Note Documents; 

(iv) applicable law, rule, regulation or order or similar restriction; 

(v) any agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person
or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

  
 74 

 (vi) customary non-assignment
provisions in contracts, licenses and leases entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices; 

(vii) any mortgages, pledges or other security agreements or related agreement permitted under this Indenture securing

agreements; 
 (viii) agreements governing purchase money obligations, mortgage financings and Capital Lease Obligations
incurred in compliance with Section 5.09, in each case that impose encumbrances or restrictions of the nature described in clause (iii) of Section 5.08(a) on the properties or assets financed thereby; 

(ix) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary (or any of its properties or assets) imposed
pursuant to an agreement entered into for the direct or indirect sale or disposition of all or substantially all the Capital Stock or properties or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary (or the properties or assets that are subject to such
restriction) pending the closing of such sale or disposition; 
 (x) customary provisions in bona fide contracts for the sale
of properties or assets; 
 (xi) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and similar agreements that restrict the
transfer of interests in the joint venture; 
 (xii) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or
property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, agreements governing Sale/Leaseback Transactions, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment) entered
into (A) in the ordinary course of business or (B) with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements; 

(xiii) restrictions on cash, Cash Equivalents or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or required by insurance,
surety or bonding companies, in each case under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (xiv)
encumbrances or restrictions with respect to property under a charter, lease or other agreement that has been entered into in the ordinary course for the employment, charter or other hire of such property; 

(xv) any agreement or instrument relating to any property or assets acquired after Issue Date in effect at the time of such
acquisition, so long as such encumbrance or restriction relates only to the property or assets so acquired and is not and was not created in anticipation of such acquisition; 

  
 75 

 (xvi) the issuance of Preferred Stock by a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company or the payment of dividends thereon in accordance with the terms thereof; provided that the terms of such Preferred Stock do not expressly restrict the ability of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to pay dividends or make any
other distributions on its Equity Interests (other than requirements to pay dividends or liquidation preferences on such Preferred Stock prior to paying any dividends or making any other distributions on such other Equity Interests); and 

(xvii) agreements governing Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the
agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced, as determined by the Company in its reasonable
and good faith judgment. 
 SECTION 5.09 Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur” or an “incurrence”) any Indebtedness, the Company will not, and will not permit any
Guarantor to, issue any Disqualified Stock and the Company will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company and any Guarantor may
incur Indebtedness or issue Disqualified Stock, and any Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that are not Guarantors may issue any shares of Preferred Stock, if the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended
four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to
1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been incurred or issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of
such four- quarter period. 
 (b) The provisions of Section 5.09(a) will not prohibit the
following (“Permitted Debt”): 
 (i) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness under: 
 (A) asset-backed revolving credit facilities (secured solely by Excluded Assets consisting of assets
described in clause (5) of such definition) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the greater of (x) $125.0 million and (y) 7.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; 

  
 76 

 (B) Credit Facilities which, if secured, are secured solely by Excluded
Assets in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $150.0 million; and 
 (C) Credit
Facilities which, if secured, are secured by Parity Liens and in aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the greater of (x) $100.0 million and (y) such aggregate amount that may be incurred such that, after
giving pro forma effect thereto, the Aircraft Collateral Value Ratio would equal or exceed 2.5 to 1.0; 
 (ii) the incurrence
by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness; 
 (iii) the incurrence by the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business and not for speculation; 
 (iv) the
incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees issued on the Issue Date; 

(v) guarantees or co-issuances by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of
Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; provided that any such guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor is of Indebtedness that is permitted to
be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor; 
 (vi) the incurrence of intercompany Indebtedness between
or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company, or any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither the Company nor a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, shall be deemed to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be; provided, however: 
 (A) if the Company is the obligor on such
Indebtedness and a Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the Notes; 

(B) if a Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the Company or a Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness is
expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor, 
 (vii) the incurrence by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of tenders, bids, statutory obligations, contracts, leases, workers compensation obligations, insurance obligations, performance, appeal and surety bonds issued for the account
of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and other obligations of like nature, in each case incurred in the ordinary course of business, including guarantees or obligations of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to letters of
credit supporting such obligations (in each case other than for an obligation for money borrowed); 
  

  
 77 

 (viii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund Indebtedness that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under clauses (ii), (iv), (ix), (x)
and this clause (viii) of this Section 5.09(b); 
 (ix) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations to finance all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property,
whether through direct purchase or through Equity Interests of a Person principally owning such property, and related taxes and transaction costs in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed (together with any
Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to clause (viii) of this definition to refinance any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (ix)) the greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) 3.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, determined as of
the date of each such incurrence; 
 (x) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary outstanding on the date on which such
Restricted Subsidiary, or assets relating to such Indebtedness, were acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or Indebtedness incurred by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to provide all or any portion of the funds
utilized to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is otherwise acquired by, or such assets are acquired by, the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that at the time such Restricted Subsidiary is acquired by the Company or on the date of such asset acquisition, as applicable, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most
recent four quarters for which internal financial statements are available, immediately after giving pro forma effect to the acquisition and the incurrence of any related Indebtedness, would be (x) at least 2.0 to 1.0 or (y) equal to or
greater than the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio determined for such four quarter period without giving effect to such acquisition and incurrence of Indebtedness; 

(xi) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment
of purchase price, holdbacks, earn outs or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the maximum
aggregate liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition; 

(xii) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument
(except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; 

  
 78 

 (xiii) the incurrence by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness consisting of the financing of insurance premiums in customary amounts consistent with the operations and business of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries; and 

(xiv) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of additional Indebtedness or the issuance by the Company or
any Guarantor of Disqualified Stock in an aggregate principal amount or liquidation preference which, when taken together with the aggregate principal amount of all other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xiv) and then outstanding,
will not exceed the greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) 3.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, determined as of the date of each such incurrence. 

(c) The Company will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness which by its terms (or by the
terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) is subordinated to any other Indebtedness of the Company or of such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such
Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor, as the case may be, on substantially the same terms as such Indebtedness is subordinated pursuant to subordination provisions that are most
favorable to the holders of any other Indebtedness of the Company or of such Guarantor, as the case may be. 
 (d) For purposes of
determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 5.09: 

(i) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness described in
Section 5.09(b) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 5.09(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, will be permitted to divide or classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of incurrence (or later classify, redivide or
reclassify such Indebtedness, in its sole discretion), in any manner that complies with this Section 5.09; 
 (ii)
notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary under an asset backed revolving credit agreement on the Issue Date shall be considered incurred under clause (i)(A) of the definition of
“Permitted Debt” and may not otherwise be reclassified; 
 (iii) guarantees of, or obligations in respect of
letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included; 

(iv) the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Company or a Guarantor will be equal to the greater of the maximum
mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) and the liquidation preference thereof; 

  
 79 

 (v) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 5.09 need not be permitted
solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 5.09 permitting such Indebtedness; 

(vi) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of
the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; and 
 (vii) the reclassification of any lease or other
liability of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as Indebtedness due to the adoption by the Company after the Issue Date of a change of accounting principles will not be deemed an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this
covenant. 
 Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest in the form of additional
Indebtedness and the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 5.09. The amount of any Indebtedness
outstanding as of any date shall be (1) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount and (2) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that
is more than 30 days past due, in the case of any other Indebtedness. 
 The Company will not permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to
incur any Indebtedness, other than Non-Recourse Debt. If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under this Section 5.09, the Company shall be in Default of this Section 5.09). 

For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of
Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of
term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the
applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such
Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being
refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 5.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a
result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.

 SECTION 5.10 Limitation on Asset Sales. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate Collateral Disposition unless: 

(i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Collateral
Disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value (provided such Fair Market Value shall be determined (x) as of the date of contractually agreeing to such Collateral Disposition and (y) in good faith by an officer of the Company or, if
the consideration with respect to such Collateral Disposition exceeds $25.0 million, the Board of Directors of the Company) of the Collateral issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(ii) at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Collateral
Disposition is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; 
 provided that in the case of any Collateral Disposition pursuant to a loss, condemnation,
appropriation or similar taking, including by conveyance in lieu of condemnation, such Collateral Disposition shall not be required to satisfy the requirements of items (i) and (ii) above. 

Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from Collateral Disposition, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net
Proceeds to any combination of the following: 
 (iii) to permanently repay, redeem, purchase, defease, or otherwise acquire
or cash collateralize the principal of any Parity Lien Debt of the Company or any Guarantor; or 
 (iv) to acquire or invest
in (including by way of a purchase of assets or stock, merger, consolidation or otherwise) Additional Assets that would constitute Collateral or to make a capital expenditure with respect to, or that is reasonably allocable to, Collateral. 

(b) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale (other than a Collateral
Disposition, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in paragraph (a) above) unless: 
 (i) the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (provided such Fair Market Value shall be determined (A) as of the date of contractually agreeing to such
Asset Sale and (B) in good faith by an Officer of the Company or, if the consideration with respect to such Asset Sale exceeds $25.0 million, the Board of Directors of the Company) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or
otherwise disposed of; and 
 (ii) at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received by the Company or its Restricted
Subsidiaries in all Asset Sales since the Issue Date, on a cumulative basis, is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Marketable Securities; provided, however, that the amount of: 

  
 81 

 (A) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted
Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the
transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or assumption agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision; 

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations (other than Marketable Securities) received by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted within 180 days after such Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received in that conversion) shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this
provision; and 
 (C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale; provided that the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, taken together with the Fair Market Value at the time
of receipt of all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) less the amount of Net Proceeds previously realized in cash from prior Designated Non-cash Consideration, is less than the greater of (x) 3.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash
Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) and (y)
$50.0 million; 
 provided that in the case of any Asset Sale pursuant to a condemnation, appropriation or similar taking, including by
conveyance in lieu of condemnation, such Asset Sale shall not be required to satisfy the requirements of items (i) and (ii) of this Section 5.10(b). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not permit any Specified Aircraft SPV to sell or otherwise transfer any Specified Aircraft,
or assign any Specified Aircraft Leases, to any of (1) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to any other Person, except as required by the U.K. SAR Contract or (2) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except as required in
connection with any equipment financing that is secured by a Specified Aircraft and related assets, each of which shall be permitted hereby. 

(c) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale (other than a Collateral Disposition, which shall be treated as
provided in clause (a) above), the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds to any combination of the following: 

(i) to permanently repay, redeem, purchase, defease, otherwise acquire or cash collateralize the principal of any Senior Debt
of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; or 

  
 82 

 (ii) to acquire or invest in (including by way of a purchase of assets or
stock, merger, consolidation or otherwise) Additional Assets or to make a capital expenditure; 
 provided that the requirements of clause
(ii) above will be deemed to be satisfied if an agreement committing to make the acquisitions, investments or expenditures referred to above is entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries within 365 days after the receipt
of such Net Proceeds with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment in accordance with such agreement within 180 days after such 365-day period, and if such
Net Proceeds are not so applied within such 180-day period, then such Net Proceeds will constitute Excess Proceeds (as defined below). 

(d) Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale not constituting a Collateral Disposition or from any Collateral
Disposition, the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce outstanding revolving credit borrowings, including borrowings under any Credit Facility, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by
this Indenture. 
 (e) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in clauses (a) or (b) above will
be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” On the 366th day or 546th day, as applicable, after the Asset Sale (or, at the Company’s option, such earlier date), if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds
$50.0 million, the Company will be required to make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of the Notes and, (i) with respect to Excess Proceeds from Collateral Dispositions, to the extent required by the terms of
other Parity Lien Debt, to all holders of such outstanding Parity Lien Debt, and (ii) after application of the proceeds to purchase Indebtedness pursuant to clause (i) to the extent required by the terms of all other Senior Debt of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, with similar provisions requiring the Company to make an offer to purchase such Parity Lien Debt or other Senior Debt, as applicable, as the case may be, with the proceeds from any Asset Sale, to
purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and any such Parity Lien Debt or other such Senior Debt, as applicable, to which the Asset Sale Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and Parity Lien Debt or such other Senior Debt, as applicable, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the
agreements governing the Parity Lien Debt or such other Senior Debt, as applicable. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the amount that the Company is required to
repurchase, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by holders thereof, other Parity Lien Debt or such other Senior Debt, as
applicable, surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount that the Company is required to repurchase, the Trustee shall select the Notes, Parity Lien Debt and other Senior Debt, as applicable, to be purchased on a pro rata
basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes, Parity Lien Debt and other Senior Debt, as applicable (except that any Notes represented by a Note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or
successor may require or, where the nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate), based on the amounts tendered or required to be redeemed (with such
adjustments as may be deemed 

  
 83 

 
appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased). Upon completion of each Asset Sale
Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Company shall be permitted to satisfy its obligations to make an Asset Sale Offer by making such offer prior to the
consummation of an Asset Sale with part or all of the proceeds of such Asset Sale being used to fund such Asset Sale Offer. 
 (f) If the
Purchase Date is on or after an interest payment record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the
close of business on such record date, and no other interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.10 or elsewhere in this Indenture, to the extent that (A) any or all
of the Net Proceeds received by a Foreign Subsidiary are prohibited by any requirement of law from being loaned, distributed or otherwise transferred to the Company (provided that the Company and such Foreign Subsidiary shall take all commercially
reasonable actions available under local law to permit such repatriation or to remove such prohibitions) or any Domestic Subsidiary or materially adverse consequences (including any material adverse tax consequences) (as reasonably determined by the
Borrower in good faith and provided that the Borrower and such Foreign Subsidiary shall take all commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate or reduce such material adverse tax consequence to enable such repatriation to be made without any material
adverse tax consequences) would result therefrom or (B) any or all of the Net Proceeds received by a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Guarantor are prohibited from being transferred to the Company for application in accordance with this
Section 5.10 by any applicable organizational documents, joint venture agreement, shareholder agreement, or similar agreement or any other contractual obligation with an unaffiliated third party (including any agreement governing Indebtedness)
that was not created in contemplation of such event resulting in Net Proceeds, then in each case the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied at the times provided in this Section 5.10 but may be retained by
the applicable Restricted Subsidiary or applied in any other manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (h) The Company will comply, to the
extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 5.10 or Section 4.09, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Section 5.10 or Section 4.09 by virtue of compliance with such laws and regulations. 
 SECTION 5.11 Limitation on Transactions with
Affiliates. 
 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any properties or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit
of, any Affiliate of the Company involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $5.0 million (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 

  
 84 

 (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less
favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in arm’s-length dealings
with an unrelated Person or, if there is no such comparable transaction, on terms that are fair and reasonable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; and 

(ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee: 

(A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $25.0 million, an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above; and 

(B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $50.0 million, in addition to the Officer’s Certificate referred to above in clause (A), a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company approved by a majority of the disinterested members thereof (or if the Board of
Directors has no disinterested directors, all of the members of the Board of Directors); 
 provided that the requirements of clause (ii) above
are not applicable to any Affiliate Transactions in the ordinary course of business with an Affiliate engaged in a Permitted Business. 

(b) The following shall be deemed not to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of
Section 5.11(a): 
 (i) any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, any other employee compensation plan or
arrangement, officer or director indemnification agreement, severance agreement, consulting agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, and payments,
awards, grants or issuance of securities pursuant thereto; 
 (ii) transactions between or among the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (iii) Permitted Investments and Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of this
Indenture; 
 (iv) loans or advances to officers, directors and employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary made in
the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2.0 million outstanding at any one time; 

  
 85 

 (v) customary compensation, indemnification and other benefits made
available to officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, including reimbursement or advancement of out-
of-pocket expenses and provisions of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance; 

(vi) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company
solely because the Company owns, directly or indirectly, an Equity Interest in, or otherwise controls, such Person; 
 (vii)
any transaction in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee an opinion addressed to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from an accounting, appraisal or
investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or that such transaction meets the requirements of clause (i) of
Section 5.11(a); 
 (viii) sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to, or receipt of capital
contributions from, Affiliates of the Company; 
 (ix) transactions pursuant to agreements or arrangements in effect on the
Issue Date that are described in the Offering Memorandum or the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, or any amendment, modification, or supplement thereto or replacement thereof, as long as such agreement or arrangement, as so
amended, modified, supplemented or replaced, is not materially more disadvantageous to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, than the agreement or arrangement in existence on the Issue Date, as determined in good faith by
the Company; 
 (x) transactions between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any other Person, a director
of which is also on the Board of Directors of the Company or any direct or indirect parent company of the Company, and such common director is the sole cause for such other Person to be deemed an Affiliate of the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company or any direct or indirect parent company of the Company, as the case may be, on any transaction with such
other Person; 
 (xi) payments to or transactions with Affiliates on or with respect to debt securities or other Indebtedness
or Equity Interests of the Company or any Subsidiary on a similar basis as payments are made or offered to holders of such debt securities or Indebtedness or such Equity Interests held by Persons other than Affiliates; and 

(xii) transactions undertaken in good faith (as certified by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company in an
officer’s certificate) for the purpose of improving the consolidated tax efficiency of the Company and its Subsidiaries and not for the purpose of circumventing any covenant set forth in this Indenture. 

  
 86 

 SECTION 5.12 Limitation on Liens. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Lien on any property or asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens, to secure any Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary. The Lien securing any such Indebtedness which is expressly subordinated to the
Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee will be subordinated and junior to the Lien securing the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, as the case may be, with the same relative priority as such Indebtedness has with respect to the Notes or the Subsidiary
Guarantees. The Company will not, will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and will not permit any Specified Aircraft SPV, to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on the Specified Aircraft other than Liens permitted under
clauses (1)(B), (5), (14), (21), (25), or (26) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.” 
 SECTION 5.13 Additional Subsidiary
Guarantees. 
 If, after the Issue Date, (a) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall acquire or create another
Domestic Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary or an Excluded Subsidiary); (b) any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary or an Excluded Subsidiary) shall incur, Guarantee
or otherwise become obligated for any Indebtedness for borrowed money (in each case, other than Permitted Non-Guarantor Indebtedness), then, in each case, within 30 days thereafter such Subsidiary shall
execute a supplement to this Indenture providing for a Subsidiary Guarantee and deliver an Opinion of Counsel in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 

SECTION 5.14 Corporate Existence. 

Subject to Article VI, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
existence. 
 SECTION 5.15 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control Trigger Event occurs, the Company will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase
all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if
any, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following a Change of Control Trigger Event, the Company will send (including by electronic transmission) a notice to each Holder and the Trustee
describing the transaction that constitutes the Change of Control Trigger Event and stating: 
 (i) that the Change of
Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 5.15 and that all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered and not withdrawn will be accepted for payment; 

(ii) the Change of Control Payment and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 15 days and no later than 60 days from
the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 
 (iii) that any Note not properly
tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

  
 87 

 (iv) that if the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest
payment record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no other interest will be payable
to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 
 (v) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the
Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(vi) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the
Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book- entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice
prior to the close of business on the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (vii) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw
their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase,
and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and 
 (viii) that Holders whose
Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer), which unpurchased portion
must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The Company will comply with the
requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a
result of a Change of Control Trigger Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 5.15, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and
will not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Section 5.15 by virtue of compliance with such laws and regulations. 

A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Trigger Event, with the obligation to pay and timing of payment
conditioned upon the occurrence of such Change of Control Trigger Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer. 

On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: (A) accept for payment all Notes or portions
thereof properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (B) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all such Notes or portions thereof so tendered and not
withdrawn; and (C) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 

  
 88 

 (b) The Paying Agent will promptly send or wire transfer to each Holder of Notes properly
tendered and not withdrawn the Change of Control Payment for such Notes (or if all Notes are then in global form, make such payment through the facilities of the Depositary), and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and send (or cause to be
transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided, however, that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after
an interest payment record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record
date, and no other interest will be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. 
 Payment of the Change of
Control Payment for a Note properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Change of Control Offer is conditioned upon delivery of such Note (together with necessary endorsements) to the Paying Agent (whether prior to, on or after
the Change of Control Payment Date), which delivery may be in book-entry form in accordance with the Applicable Procedures for Notes issued in global form. The Change of Control Payment for such Note will be
made promptly following the later of the Business Day following the Change of Control Payment Date or the time of delivery of such Note. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.15, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer
following a Change of Control Trigger Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 5.15 and purchases all Notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, (2) notice of redemption with respect to all outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to Section 4.08 unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable
redemption price, or (3) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, the Company or a third party has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price
equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Alternate Offer. 

(d) In the event that not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes are properly tendered and not
withdrawn under a Change of Control Offer and the Company (or the third party making such Change of Control Offer as described above) purchases all such Notes, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior
notice to the Holders of the Notes and the Trustee, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of
Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes and Additional Amounts, if any, that remain outstanding, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record
on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). Sections 4.01, 4.03, 4.04 and 4.05 shall be applicable to any such redemption. 

  
 89 

 SECTION 5.16 Payment of Additional Amounts by a Foreign Successor Issuer. 

(a) In the event that the Company is succeeded by an entity organized or existing in a Permitted Foreign Jurisdiction as permitted by
Section 6.01 and if any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes (as defined below) imposed or levied by or on behalf of (1) any jurisdiction in which the Company (which, for purposes of this Section, refers to the Person
succeeding the Company) or any Guarantor that makes a payment under the Notes, are then incorporated, engaged in business, organized or otherwise resident or treated as resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision thereof or therein or
(2) any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of the Company (including, without limitation, the jurisdiction of any Paying Agent) (each of (1) and (2), a “Tax Jurisdiction” which, for the
avoidance of doubt, shall not include the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia), will at any time be required to be made from any payments made under or with respect to the Notes, including, without limitation, payments of
principal, redemption price, purchase price, interest or premium, the Company will pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each
Holder or beneficial owner of Notes after such withholding, deduction or imposition (including any such withholding, deduction or imposition from such Additional Amounts) will equal the respective amounts that would have been received in respect of
such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to: 

(1) any Taxes to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Notes
being a citizen or resident or national of, or incorporated in, the relevant Tax Jurisdiction in which such Taxes are imposed or having any other present or former connection with the relevant Tax Jurisdiction other than the mere acquisition,
holding, exercise or enforcement of rights, or receipt of payment in respect of the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee; 
 (2)
any Taxes to the extent such Taxes are imposed or withheld as a result of the failure of the Holder of the Note or beneficial owner of the Notes to comply, to the extent such Holder is legally entitled, with any reasonable written request, made by
the Company or any Guarantor to that Holder or beneficial owner in writing at least 90 days before any such withholding or deduction would be payable, to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such Holder or
beneficial owner or to make any valid and timely declaration or similar claim or satisfy any certification information or other reporting requirement, which is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the
relevant Tax Jurisdiction as a precondition to any exemption from or reduction in all or part of such Taxes; 
 (3) any Taxes
to the extent such Taxes were imposed as a result of the presentation of a Note for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder (except to the extent that
the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30 day period); 

(4) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, personal property or similar Taxes; 

  
 90 

 (5) any Taxes payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments
under, or with respect to, the Notes; 
 (6) any taxes required by sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), as of the issue date (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with) (“FATCA”), any current or future U.S.
Treasury regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA, any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and any other jurisdiction to implement
FATCA or any law enacted by such other jurisdiction to give effect to such agreement, or any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under FATCA; or 

(7) any combination of items (1) through (6) above. 

For purposes of this Section 5.16, “Taxes” means any present or future tax, duty, assessment, or other
governmental charge of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed, including any penalties and interest related thereto. 

The Company also will not pay any Additional Amounts to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole
beneficial owner of the Note to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner thereof, would not have been entitled to the payment of such Additional Amounts had such
beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of the Note. 
 (b) In addition to Section 5.16(a) above, if the
Company is succeeded by an entity organized or existing in a Permitted Foreign Jurisdiction as permitted by Section 6.01, the Company or a Guarantor, as applicable, will also pay and indemnify the Holder for any present or future stamp, issue,
registration, value added, court or documentary Taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and any other reasonable expenses related thereto) or Taxes which are levied by any Tax
Jurisdiction on or in connection with the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of any of the Notes, this Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee, or any other document or instrument referred to therein or the receipt of payments with respect
thereto. 
 (c) If the Company or any Guarantor becomes obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with
respect to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, will deliver to the Trustee on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises
after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Company will notify the Trustee promptly after such obligation arises (and in any event within five Business Days thereof)) an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that
Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officer’s Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the paying agents to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the
relevant payment date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. The Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, will provide the Trustee with documentation
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts. 

  
 91 

 (d) The Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, will make all withholdings and deductions
required by law and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Tax authority in accordance with applicable law. Upon request, the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, will provide to the Trustee an official receipt or, if
official receipts are not obtainable, other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld and will attach to each official receipt or other documentation an Officer’s
Certificate confirming that all withholdings and deductions required by applicable law have been made and the amount thereof remitted to the relevant Tax authority, and stating the amount of such Taxes paid per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding. Upon request, copies of those official receipts or other documentation, as the case may be, will be made available by the Trustee to the Holders of the Notes. 

(e) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Holders of the Notes, upon written request of such Holder of
Notes and appropriate proof of payment for the amount of (i) any Taxes levied or imposed by a Tax Jurisdiction and payable by such Holder or the applicable beneficial owner in connection with payments made under or with respect to the Notes
held by such Holder or any Subsidiary Guarantee; and (ii) any Taxes levied or imposed with respect to any reimbursement under the foregoing clause (i) or this clause (ii), so that the net amount received by the applicable beneficial owner
after such reimbursement will not be less than the net amount such beneficial owner would have received if the Taxes giving rise to the reimbursement described in clauses (i) and/or (ii) had not been imposed, provided, however, that the
indemnification obligation provided for in this paragraph (e) shall not extend to Taxes imposed for which the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes would not have been eligible to receive payment of Additional Amounts hereunder by virtue of
clauses (1) through (6) in paragraph (a) above or to the extent such Holder or beneficial owner received Additional Amounts with respect to such payments. 

(f) Whenever in this Indenture or the Notes, there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the
Notes or of principal, interest or of any other amount payable under, or with respect to, any of the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such
context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. 
 (g) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under
this Section 5.16 will survive termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture, any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner of its Notes and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor person to the Company or
any Guarantor is incorporated, organized, engaged in business or resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which such person makes any payment on the Notes (or any Subsidiary Guarantee) and any department or political subdivision
thereof or therein. 

  
 92 

 SECTION 5.17 No Inducements. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration,
whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, unless such consideration is offered to be paid or agreed to be paid
to all Holders which so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

SECTION 5.18 Specified Aircraft SPV and Specified Subsidiaries. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, permit any Specified Aircraft SPV to: 

(a) own any material assets or liabilities other than those assets and liabilities owned prior to the Issue Date or in connection with the
performance of services under the U.K. SAR Contract; 
 (b) engage in any business activities other than business activities engaged prior
to the Issue Date, or owning Specified Aircraft and entering into leases, subleases or other agreements or arrangements which grant to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries the right to use Specified Aircraft and any document, undertaking or
agreement required by the U.K. Department or otherwise reasonably necessary or desirable to maintain or enforce its rights or obligations under the U.K. SAR Contract; provided, the Specified Aircraft SPVs shall be permitted to engage in
activities (including the intercompany disposition of Specified Aircraft) required pursuant to any equipment financing that is secured by a Specified Aircraft and related assets; or 

(c) permit any Specified Subsidiary to, conduct any material business operations (other than customary activities incidental to their
organizational existence and participation in intercompany cash management activities and intercompany leasing activities, in each case substantially consistent with past practice) or own any material assets or incur any material liabilities, in
each case other than those assets and liabilities in existence on the Issue Date or as otherwise contemplated by this sentence (including, for the avoidance of doubt, performing its obligations under this Indenture) and the making and/or receipt of
additional intercompany investments permitted hereunder. 
 SECTION 5.19 Financial Calculations for Limited Condition Acquisitions. 

When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition
Acquisition, the date of determination of such basket or ratio and of any Default or Event of Default may, at the option of the Company, be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into and such baskets
or ratios shall be calculated with such pro forma adjustments as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of “Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio” after giving effect to such
Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable period for purposes
of determining the ability to consummate any such Limited Condition Acquisition (and not for purposes of any subsequent availability of any basket or ratio), and, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such baskets or ratios are exceeded as
a result of fluctuations in such basket or 

  
 93 

 
ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company or the target company) subsequent to such date of determination and at or prior to the consummation of the
relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition and related transactions are
permitted hereunder and (y) such baskets or ratios shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related transactions; provided, further, that if the Company elects to have such
determinations occur at the time of entry into such definitive agreement, any such transactions (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreements are
entered into and outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any baskets or ratios under this Indenture after the date of such agreement and before the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, unless and until such Limited
Condition Acquisition has been abandoned or such definitive agreement has expired or been terminated prior to consummation thereof. 
 SECTION 5.20
Changes in Covenants Upon an Investment Grade Rating Event. 
 If an Investment Grade Rating Event occurs and no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, then upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate to the foregoing effect, 

(a) each of the covenants contained in the following Sections will cease to apply to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries: 

(i) Section 5.07 (Limitation on Restricted Payments); 

(ii) Section 5.08 (Limitation on Dividends and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries); 

(iii) Section 5.09 (Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock); 

(iv) Section 5.10 (Limitation on Asset Sales); 

(v) Section 5.11 (Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates); 

(vi) Section 5.12 (Limitation on Liens); 

(vii) Section 5.13 (Additional Subsidiary Guarantees); 

(viii) Section 5.18 (Specified Aircraft SPV and Specified Subsidiaries); 

(ix) clause (iv) of Section 6.01(a) (Limitations on Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets); and 

(b) the following covenants will apply to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries: 

  
 94 

 (i) Restrictions on Secured Indebtedness. If the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary incurs any Indebtedness secured by a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on any asset or property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will secure the Notes equally and ratably
with (or at the Company’s option, prior to) such secured Indebtedness so long as such Indebtedness is so secured, unless the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness secured by Liens (other than Permitted Liens), together with all Attributable
Indebtedness of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to any Sale/Leaseback Transactions (with the exception of such transactions which are excluded as described in clauses (A) through (D) of Section 5.19(b)(ii) below),
would not exceed 12.5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. 
 (ii) Restrictions on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The
Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction, unless the aggregate amount of all Attributable Indebtedness with respect to such transaction plus all secured Indebtedness of the Company
and the Restricted Subsidiaries (with the exception of Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens) would not exceed 12.5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets outstanding at any time. This restriction shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded from
Attributable Indebtedness in any computation under such restriction, any Sale/Leaseback Transaction if: 
 (A) the lease is
for a period, including renewal rights, not in excess of three years; 
 (B) the sale of the asset or property subject to the
Sale/Leaseback Transaction is made within 270 days after its acquisition, construction or improvements; 
 (C) the
transaction is between the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries; or 
 (D) the Company,
within 270 days after the sale is completed, applies to the prepayment, redemption, defeasance, retirement or other acquisition of its Indebtedness or that of a Restricted Subsidiary, or to the purchase of other assets or properties which will
constitute Additional Assets, an amount not less than the greater of: 
 (1) the Net Proceeds of the sale of the asset or
property leased; and 
 (2) the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Company in good faith) of the asset or property
leased; 
 provided that the amount to be applied to the prepayment, redemption, defeasance, retirement or other acquisition of Indebtedness or the
purchase of other assets or properties shall be reduced by (a) the principal amount of any of the Company’s debentures or notes (including the Notes) or those of a Restricted Subsidiary surrendered within 270 days after such sale to the
applicable trustee for prepayment, redemption, defeasance or retirement and cancellation; (b) the principal amount of Indebtedness, other than the items referred to in the preceding clause (a), voluntarily prepaid, redeemed, defeased, retired
or otherwise acquired by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary within 270 days after such sale; and (c) associated transaction and other related expenses.

beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test set forth Section 5.09(a) or
(B) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of the Company or the Person formed by or surviving such transaction (if

after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related incurrence of Indebtedness, is (1) at least 2.0 to 1.0 or (2) equal to or greater than the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of the Company determined for such period
without giving effect to such transaction and incurrence of Indebtedness; 
 (v) in the case of clause (a)(i)(B) above, in
the event that the Person formed by or surviving such transaction is organized in a jurisdiction that is different from the jurisdiction in which the obligor on the Notes was organized immediately before giving effect to the transaction:

occurred; 
 (B) such Person has agreed in writing to submit to New York jurisdiction and appoints an agent for the service

(c) This Section 6.01 will not apply to (i) a merger of the Company with an Affiliate or statutory conversion solely for the purpose
of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction or forming a direct or indirect holding company of the Company; and (ii) any merger, consolidation or sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or

made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture and the Note Documents referring to
the “Company” shall refer instead to the successor corporation and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Documents with the same effect as if such successor
had been named as the Company herein; and thereafter, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, the Company shall be discharged and released from all obligations and covenants under this
Indenture and the Notes. The Trustee shall enter into a supplemental indenture to evidence the succession and substitution of such successor Person and such discharge and release of the Company. 

ARTICLE VII. 
 DEFAULTS AND
REMEDIES 
 SECTION 7.01 Events of Default. 

Each of the following constitutes an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes: 

(a) a default in the payment when due of interest or Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes and such default continues for a period of
30 days; 
 (b) a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional
redemption or upon required repurchase; 
 (c) the failure by the Company for 30 days after notice from the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to comply with any of its obligations under Section 5.10 or Section 5.15 (other than a failure to repurchase Notes when due), or failure by the Company to comply with its
obligations described under Section 6.01; 
 (d) the failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after
notice from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to comply with any of its other agreements in this Indenture, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee (provided that, with respect to
Section 5.03, the Company shall have not less than 120 days from the failure to comply with such Section to cure such failure); 

(e) a default occurs under any mortgage, indenture, instrument or agreement under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured
or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee exists on or
is created after the Issue Date, which default: 

  
 98 

 (i) is caused by a failure to pay principal on such Indebtedness at its
stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extension thereof) (a “Payment Default”); or 

(ii) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity, 

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such
Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates in excess of $50.0 million; provided that if any such default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded,
or such Indebtedness is repaid, within a period of 45 days from the continuation of such default beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default and any consequential acceleration
of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree; 
 (f) the failure
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $50.0 million (to the extent not covered by insurance by a reputable and creditworthy
insurer as to which the insurer has not disclaimed coverage), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; 

(g) the repudiation by any Guarantor of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or any Subsidiary Guarantee is held in any judicial
proceeding to be unenforceable against a Guarantor for any reason, except, in each case, by reason of the release of such Guarantor in accordance with this Indenture; 

(h) the Company, any Guarantor, or any Significant Subsidiary, 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 Bankruptcy Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; 

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

(v) admits in writing it generally is not paying its debts as they become due; 

  
 99 

 (i) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law
that remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days and that: 
 (i) is for relief against the Company, any Guarantor or any
Significant Subsidiary, as debtor in an involuntary case; 
 (ii) appoints a Bankruptcy Custodian of the Company, any
Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary, or a Bankruptcy Custodian for all or substantially all of the property of the Company, any Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary, or 

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, any Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary; or 

(j) the occurrence of any of the following: 

(i) except as permitted by the Note Documents, any Security Document establishing the Parity Liens ceases for any reason to be
enforceable; provided that it will not be an Event of Default under this clause (j)(i) if the sole result of the failure of one or more Security Documents to be fully enforceable is that any Parity Lien purported to be granted under such
Security Documents on Collateral, individually or in the aggregate, having a Fair Market Value of not more than $35.0 million, ceases to be an enforceable and perfected Parity Lien; provided, further, that if such failure is susceptible
to cure, no Event of Default shall arise with respect thereto until 30 days after any officer of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary becomes aware of such failure, which failure has not been cured during such time period; 

(ii) except as permitted by the Note Documents, any Parity Lien purported to be granted under any Security Document on
Collateral, individually or in the aggregate, having a Fair Market Value in excess of $35.0 million, ceases to be an enforceable and perfected first-priority Lien, subject to Permitted Liens;
provided that if such failure is susceptible to cure, no Event of Default shall arise with respect thereto until 30 days after any Officer of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary becomes aware of such failure, which failure has not been
cured during such time period; and 
 (iii) the Company or any Guarantor, or any Person validly acting on behalf of any of
them, denies or disaffirms, in writing, any obligation of the Company or any Guarantor set forth in or arising under any Security Document establishing Parity Liens. 

SECTION 7.02 Acceleration. 
 If any
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes by notice to the Company (and the Trustee if given by the Holders) to be due
and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the case of an Event of Default arising from clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except with respect to nonpayment of principal, interest, premium or Additional Amounts that have become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 

  
 100 

 Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a
notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders of Notes (except any Holder that certifies in the Noteholder Direction that it is a Regulated Bank)
(each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder of Notes delivered to the Company and the Trustee that such Holder of Notes is not (or, in the case such Holder of Notes is DTC or its
nominee, that such Holder of Notes is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to the delivery of a
notice of Default shall be deemed a continuing representation until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at the time of providing a
Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide the Company with such other information as the Company may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of
request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder of Notes is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the
Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee, and DTC shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such Position Statement and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee. 

If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company determines in good faith that there
is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company has initiated litigation in a court of
competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure
period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and
non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such
Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company provides to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the
applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Holder’s participation in such
Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder of Notes, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders of Notes that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly
provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee shall be deemed not to have received
such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default. 

  
 101 

 Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two paragraphs to the contrary, (i) any
Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default arising from clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs and (ii) a notice of Default may not be
given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly to Holders, more than two years prior to such notice of Default. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing paragraphs shall not apply to any Holder of Notes that is a
Regulated Bank and has so stated in the applicable Noteholder Direction. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to
conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture, shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant,
verify any statements in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments
or otherwise. The Trustee shall have no liability to the Company, any Holder of Notes or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction. 

SECTION 7.03 Other Remedies. 
 If an
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Note Documents. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay
or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the
extent permitted by law. 
 SECTION 7.04 Waiver of Defaults. 

Subject to Sections 7.07 and 10.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may
on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any,
on the Notes. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 7.05 Control by Majority. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will have the right to direct in writing the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it; 

  
 102 

 
provided, however that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with applicable law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to
the rights of other Holders, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. 

SECTION 7.06 Limitations on Suits. 

Subject to Section 7.07 hereof, a Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or any related Subsidiary
Guarantees only if: 
 (a) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue
the remedy; 
 (c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any
loss, liability or expense; 
 (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of
indemnity; and 
 (e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 
 A Holder may not use this
Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 
 SECTION 7.07 Rights of Holders to
Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the contractual right of any Holder of a Note expressly set
forth in this Indenture or the Notes to receive payment of principal of, and premium and interest, if any, on, the Notes, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 
 SECTION 7.08
Collection Suit by Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 7.01 hereof occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or a Guarantor for the whole amount of principal, premium and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes, and
interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,

VIII. 
 TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 8.01 Duties
of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and is known to the Trustee, 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 such exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

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

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

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether, on
their face, they appear to conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this paragraph does
not limit the effect of Section 8.01(b);

direction received by it pursuant to Section 7.05.

 (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or incur any liability. The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holder of Notes, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee security or indemnity
satisfactory to it against any loss, liability, cots or expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company and
the Guarantors. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. All money received by the Trustee shall, until applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes.

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

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

take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company or any Guarantor shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.

actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. When
a Default is cured, it ceases. 
 (g) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties. 

(h) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for punitive, special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

  
 106 

 SECTION 8.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, any
Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the TIA) after a Default has occurred and is
continuing, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is subject to Sections 8.10 and 8.11. 

SECTION 8.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall
not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or any Guarantor or upon the Company’s or such Guarantor’s direction under any provision hereof, it shall not be responsible for
the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other documents in connection with the sale of the
Notes or pursuant to this Indenture, other than its certificate of authentication. 
 SECTION 8.05 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to
Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note, the Trustee may
withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 

SECTION 8.06 [Reserved.] 
 SECTION 8.07
Compensation and Indemnity. 
 The Company agrees to pay to the Trustee for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder
such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company agrees to reimburse the Trustee
upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

  
 107 

 The Company and the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally indemnify the Trustee against
any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its
duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 8.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Guarantor or any Holder or
any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except as set forth in the next following paragraph. The Trustee shall notify the Company and the Guarantors promptly of any
claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense.
The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent. 

The Company shall not be obligated to reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee
to the extent such expense, loss or liability is attributable to the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
 To
secure the payment obligations of the Company in this Section 8.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, or premium, if any,
or interest, if any, on particular Notes. Such Lien and the Company’s obligations under this Section 8.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(h) or (i) occurs, the
expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

SECTION 8.08 Replacement of Trustee. 

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 8.08. 
 The Trustee may resign in writing upon 60 days’ notice at any time
and be discharged from the trust created hereby by so notifying the Company and the Guarantors. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee, the Company and
the Guarantors. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 8.10; 

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

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

(d) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

  
 108 

 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to
replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring or
removed Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring or removed Trustee, the Company, any Guarantor or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 8.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee, to the Company and to the Guarantors. 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 retiring Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. 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 8.07. 
 Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee or Trustees pursuant to this Section 8.08, the
obligations of the Company under Section 8.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 8.09 Successor Trustee by
Merger, etc. 
 Subject to Section 8.10, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes
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 Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of
the Trustee shall have. 
 SECTION 8.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any
State thereof or the District of Columbia and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, that is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State (or the District of Columbia) authority and that has a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

  
 109 

 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA
§§ 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). 
 SECTION 8.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company or a Guarantor. 

The Trustee is subject to and shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §
311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 ARTICLE IX. 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

SECTION 9.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution, at any time, exercise its rights under either
Section 9.02 or 9.03 hereof with respect to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article IX. 

SECTION 9.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 9.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 9.02, the Company and each of
the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Subsidiary Guarantees) on the
date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness
represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Subsidiary Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 9.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in
clauses (a) through (d) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (a)
the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of and premium, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due solely from the trust referred to in Section 9.04
hereof; 
 (b) the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.07, 3.08,
3.11 and 5.02, hereof; 
 (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations
in connection therewith; and 
 (d) this Section 9.02. 

  
 110 

 Subject to compliance with this Article IX, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section 9.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.03 hereof. 
 SECTION 9.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 9.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 9.03, the Company and each of
the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Article V (other than those in Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.06 and 5.14)
and clause (iv) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, any covenant added to this Indenture subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof and any covenants contained in the other Note Documents with respect to all outstanding
Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any
direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that
such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will
have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to
any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 7.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and
Subsidiary Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 9.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 9.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 9.04 hereof, Sections 7.01(c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (j) hereof will not constitute Events of Default. 
 SECTION 9.04 Conditions
to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 
 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 9.02
or 9.03 hereof: 
 (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in Dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm, appraisal firm or firm of independent public
accountants, to pay the principal of, and premium, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify
whether such Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date; 
 (b) in the case of an election
under Section 9.02 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: 

  
 111 

 (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the
Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or 
 (ii) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income
tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal
Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(c) in the case of an election under Section 9.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United
States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income
tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default
resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings); 
 (e) such Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased,
discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound; 

(f) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent
of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and 

(g) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 SECTION 9.05 Deposited Money and
Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to Section 9.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 9.05 and Section 12.02, the
“Trustee”) pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any,
but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

  
 112 

 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or
other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the
contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 9.04 hereof
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under
Section 9.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

If the Company exercises either its Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance option, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any
obligations under its related Subsidiary Guarantee and any Collateral or security for the Notes (other than the trust) and the other Notes Obligations will be released. 

SECTION 9.06 Repayment to Company. 

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

SECTION 9.07 Reinstatement. 
 If the
Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any Dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 9.02 or 9.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any
court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees will be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 9.02 or 9.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or non-callable Government
Securities in accordance with Section 9.02 or 9.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the 

  
 113 

 
Company or any Guarantor makes any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or such Guarantor, as
applicable, will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or non-callable Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

SECTION 10.02 With Consent of Holders. 

(a) Except as provided below in Section 10.02(b), the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and, if applicable, the Collateral Agent may
amend or supplement this Indenture and the Notes and the Security Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase
of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 7.04 and 7.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes and the Security Documents may be waived
with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes) in each case in addition to
any required consent of holders of other Parity Lien Obligations required with respect to any amendment or waiver under any Security Document. Sections 3.08 and 3.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for
purposes of this Section 10.02. 
 Upon the request of the Company, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to
the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 10.06 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or
supplemental indenture unless such amended or 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 amended or supplemental indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 10.02 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture by any
Holder given in connection with a purchase, tender or exchange of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such purchase, tender or exchange. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 10.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

  
 115 

 (b) Notwithstanding Section 10.02(a), without the consent of each Holder affected, an
amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 10.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

(i) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

(ii) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption
(except with respect to when notice of redemption is to be provided to the Trustee or the Holders) or repurchase of the Notes (other than the provisions of Section 5.10 or 5.15); 

(iii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; 

(iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium, interest or Additional Amounts, if any,
on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 

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

(vi) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to
receive payments of principal of, or premium, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Notes (except as permitted in clause (vii) hereof); 

(vii) waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Section 5.10 or
5.15); 
 (viii) make any change in the ranking of the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees relative to other Indebtedness of
the Company or the Guarantors, respectively, in either case in a manner adverse to the Holders; 
 (ix) modify the Subsidiary
Guarantees in any manner materially adverse to the Holders or release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or 

(x) make any change in the preceding amendment, supplement and waiver provisions. 

In addition, the consent of Holders representing at least two-thirds in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes will be required to release the Liens for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes on all or substantially all of the Collateral, other than in accordance with the Note Documents. 

  
 116 

 SECTION 10.03 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article X, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. 

SECTION 10.04 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall comply in form and substance with the TIA as then in effect. 

SECTION 10.05 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

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

The Company or any Guarantor may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to
consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver or to take any other action under this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record
date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record
date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of Notes required hereunder for such amendment, supplement or waiver to be effective shall have also been
given and not revoked within such 90-day period. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in Section 10.02(b) hereof. In such case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note. 
 SECTION 10.06 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

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

  
 117 

 Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity
and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 SECTION 10.07 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article X if the amendment or supplement does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment or supplement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and, shall be fully
protected in relying upon in good faith, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel provided at the expense of the Company or a Guarantor as conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture. 
 ARTICLE XI. 

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES 
 SECTION 11.01
Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 (a) For value received, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally fully, unconditionally and absolutely
guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes and all other amounts due and payable under
this Indenture and the Notes by the Company, when and as such principal, premium and interest shall become due and payable, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or
otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and this Indenture and, in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes, when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal,
subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity or by declaration or acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, in each case, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.02. 

(b) Failing payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to the related Subsidiary Guarantee, for whatever reason, each of the
Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. 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 Notes, its Subsidiary Guarantee, the Subsidiary Guarantee of any other Guarantor or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the
recovery of any judgment against the Company or any Guarantor, or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances (other than payment) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantors. Each of
the Guarantors hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, whether at 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 7.06, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against such Guarantor to enforce such Subsidiary Guarantee without first
proceeding against the Company or any other Guarantor. 

  
 118 

 (c) The obligations of each of the Guarantors under this Article XI 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, (i) 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 Notes or this Indenture, (ii) 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, (iii) the assertion or exercise by the Company, any of the Guarantors or the Trustee of any rights or remedies under the Notes or this Indenture or their delay in or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or
remedies, (iv) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for the Notes, including all or any part of the rights of the Company or any of the Guarantors under this Indenture, (v) 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 Notes 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, (vi) 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, (vii) 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 Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees or this Indenture in any such proceeding, (viii) 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, (ix) the unenforceability of the Notes, the related Subsidiary Guarantees or this Indenture or (x) any other circumstances (other than payment in full or
discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the related Subsidiary Guarantees) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. 

(d) Each of the Guarantors hereby (i) 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 and (ii) covenants that its Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of such Subsidiary 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 its Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any of the Guarantors, such Subsidiary 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 such Subsidiary Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made. 

(e) 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 Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees shall have been paid in full or discharged. 

  
 119 

 SECTION 11.02 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc. on Certain Terms.

 No Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person (other
than the Company or another Guarantor), whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor, unless: 
 (a) the Person formed by or surviving any
such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor or another Guarantor) shall execute a supplement to this Indenture providing for a Subsidiary Guarantee and such Security Documents as shall be required to maintain a perfected Lien on the
Collateral owned or held by such Guarantor and deliver an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the foregoing in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and 

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists. 

Upon any such consolidation or merger of a Guarantor and upon the execution by the successor Person of a supplemental indenture, executed by
the Trustee, providing for a Subsidiary Guarantee, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. 

SECTION 11.03 Limitation on Liability of the Guarantors. 

Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by
such Guarantor pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the
obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary 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 its Subsidiary Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent
transfer under federal or state law. 
 SECTION 11.04 Release of Guarantors from Subsidiary Guarantee. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, each Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and relieved of any
obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and any Security Documents to which it is a party, and its Capital Stock will be released from the Liens of the Security Documents: 

(a) in connection with a sale or other disposition (including by way of merger or consolidation) of (x) all or substantially all of the
assets of such Guarantor or (y) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor after which such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary, in each case, to a person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Net
Proceeds of such sale or disposition are applied in accordance with Sections 4.09 and 5.10; 

  
 120 

 (b) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article IX, or upon
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article XII; 
 (c) if the Company designates such Guarantor as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that such designation is conducted in accordance with this Indenture; 
 (d)
provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor; 

(e) at such time such Guarantor ceases to be an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness the incurrence of which resulted in or would result
in the obligation of such Guarantor to guarantee the Notes under this Indenture; or 
 (f) such Guarantor becomes (or is eligible to become
upon its release) an Excluded Subsidiary or an Immaterial Subsidiary; provided, however, that this clause (f) shall not apply to any Foreign Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor on the Issue Date. 

The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any release of a Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee and other Note
Documents, as applicable, upon receipt of a written request of the Company accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that the Guarantor is entitled to such release in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. If
the Guarantor is not so released it shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, on the Notes, subject to the limitations of Section 11.03. 

SECTION 11.05 Contribution. 
 In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors hereby agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Subsidiary
Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor (as applicable) in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses
incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes or any other Guarantor’s obligations with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes. 

SECTION 11.06 Execution and Delivery of Guaranty. 

The execution by each Guarantor of this Indenture (or a further supplemental indenture) evidences the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor,
whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set
forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor. 

  
 121 

 ARTICLE XII. 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 SECTION 12.01
Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 (a) This Indenture and the other Note Documents shall cease to be of further effect with respect to
the Notes (except that the Company’s obligations under Section 8.07, the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations under Section 9.06 and the rights, powers, protections and privileges accorded the Trustee under Article VIII
shall survive), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes and the other Note Documents, when:

replaced or paid) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

delivered to the Trustee for cancellation: 
 (1) have become due and payable, or 

(2) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 

(3) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and, in the case of clause (1), (2) or (3) above, the
Company or a Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as funds (immediately available to the Holders in the case of clause (1)) in trust for such purpose cash in Dollars,
non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm, appraisal firm or firm of independent
public accountants, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes for principal and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due and payable) or for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, to
the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be; 
 (ii) the Company or a
Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by them hereunder with respect to the Notes; and

proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the
Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this
Article XII to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in
Section 12.01 which are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 12.01. 

SECTION 12.03 Reinstatement. 
 If
the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any Dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 hereof by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with
Section 12.01 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company or any Guarantor makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company or such Guarantor, as applicable, will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money or non-callable Government Securities held by the Trustee or
Paying Agent.

Collateral Agency Agreement and collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Notes Obligations of the Company or any Guarantor hereunder. 

SECTION 13.02 Security Documents; Post-Closing Perfection. 

(a) Promptly after the date hereof, but in any event no later than on the Post- Closing Aircraft Liens
Perfection Date, the Company and the Guarantors will execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent the following documents, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent: (i) fully executed and

Parties; (ii) lien search results with respect to Registered Aircraft-Related Collateral in the International Registry (Priority Search Certificates issued by the International Registry) and the records
and registries maintained by each applicable authority in each Jurisdiction of Registration of the Registered Aircraft-Related Collateral, each as of a recent date showing that the title to such Registered Aircraft-Related 

  
 124 

 
Collateral belongs to the Company or any Guarantor free and clear of any Liens (other than the Permitted Collateral Liens); (iii) evidence of all registrations with the International Registry
necessary or appropriate to create and perfect the Liens granted by such Security Documents with respect to the Registered Aircraft-Related Collateral; (iv) filing opinions of counsel or other customary
evidence of the completion of all applicable filings or recordings of such Security Documents and other necessary documents with the applicable aviation authority necessary or appropriate to create and perfect the Liens granted by such Security
Documents, and any other filings or notices required to be made with any other government authority or registry in the Jurisdiction of Registration of the respective Registered Aircraft-Related Collateral,
(v) certificates of insurance issued by the Company’s or the applicable Guarantor’s broker, (x) describing in reasonable detail the insurance maintained in respect of the Pledged Aircraft, (y) naming the Collateral Agent as

any and all rights of subrogation with respect to the Collateral Agent and the other Parity Lien Secured Parties, (vi) a written legal post-recordation opinion of the Company’s or the applicable
Guarantor’s aircraft title counsel in the relevant Jurisdiction of Registration of the applicable Registered Aircraft-Related Collateral with respect to enforceability, creation, perfection of the
foregoing Liens; provided that in certain Jurisdictions of Registration, where the Company or the applicable Guarantor’s aircraft title counsel is not permitted to deliver such an opinion to the Collateral Agent by operation of law, the
requirement of this clause (vi) may be satisfied if the Collateral Agent is able obtain such opinions from its aircraft title counsel for the applicable jurisdiction and (vii) evidence of payment by the Company of all premiums, search and
examination charges and related charges, filing or recording taxes, fees, charges, costs and expenses required for the recording of the Liens referred to above. Promptly after the date hereof, but in any event no later than 60 days after the Issue
Date, the Company and the Guarantors will provide perfected Liens upon the Collateral other than the Pledged Aircraft and Registered Aircraft-Related Collateral to the extent that after the use of commercially reasonable efforts (as determined in
good faith by an Officer of the Company), the Company or the applicable Guarantor is not able to provide such perfected Liens on the Issue Date (other than Collateral the Liens on which can be perfected through the filing of UCC-1 statements), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Note Document, the Company and the Guarantors need not provide such perfected Lien on the Issue Date. 

(b) For all purposes of the foregoing and any other provision of the Note Documents, if a Pledged Aircraft is operated by a lessee and is
registered in Canada, the Collateral Agent’s Lien on such Pledged Aircraft and other related Registered Aircraft-Related Collateral shall be deemed to be a perfected Lien in respect of the airframe only
if the international interest created by the mortgage granted by the owner of the Pledged Aircraft in favor of the Collateral Agent is registered at the International Registry. The perfection of a security interest in the remaining Collateral that
constitutes a Pledged Aircraft and any other related Registered Aircraft-Related Collateral registered in Canada will be deemed to be perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement, naming the owner of
the Pledged Aircraft as the debtor. 
 (c) In respect of Pledged Aircraft, no party to any lease thereof shall be required to subordinate
its interest in such lease to the Collateral Agent’s Lien or shall be required to consent to such subordination whether on a local registry or on the International Registry or otherwise, and the parties to any such lease may, but shall not be
required to, file any such lease in the local or other registries at their option or register their international interests and other interests on the International Registry based on any such lease and related instruments. 

  
 125 

 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Note Document,
if, after the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, the Company or the applicable Guarantor is not able to deliver any curative documentation that would support the removal from an aircraft title opinion of exceptions to title to Pledged
Aircraft or Registered Aircraft-Related Collateral by the Post-Closing Aircraft Liens Perfection Date by reason of a title defect, the Company and the relevant Guarantor
shall not be obligated to deliver any such curative documentation, to the extent that the potential reduction in value with respect to all Pledged Aircraft and Registered Aircraft-Related Collateral as a
result of such title exceptions does not exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate (1) based on the impact on fair market value of such title exceptions as they relate to the airframe constituting the relevant Pledged Aircraft and (2) with
respect to Engine title exceptions, the fair market value of such title exceptions as they relate to each affected such Engine constituting the relevant Registered Aircraft-Related Collateral. The term
“fair market value” as used in this clause (d) shall be as defined in the definition of Aircraft Collateral Value Ratio. 

SECTION 13.03 After Acquired Collateral; Further Assurances 

(a) From and after the Issue Date and subject to certain limitations and exceptions, if property (other than Excluded Assets) (x) is
acquired by the Company or any Guarantor (whether acquired by an existing Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor (including a newly created or acquired Subsidiary), acquired from an Affiliate or a third-party seller or under
contract for purchase or construction on the Issue Date) or (y) ceases to constitute Excluded Assets, in each case, that is not automatically subject to a perfected security interest under the Security Documents, then the Company or Guarantor
will, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 90 days after such property’s acquisition or it no longer being an Excluded Asset or such person becoming a Guarantor, grant Liens on such property in favor of the Collateral Agent
(and, to the extent such grant would require the execution and delivery of a Security Document, the Company or such Guarantor shall execute and deliver such Security Document on substantially the same terms as the Security Documents covering
Collateral owned by the Company and Guarantors on the Issue Date). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company and Guarantors shall not be required to grant Liens on aircraft and property of the type that would be Aircraft-Related Collateral acquired
following the Issue Date. 
 (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company and each of the Guarantors shall do or cause to be done
all acts and things that may be required, or that the Collateral Agent from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that the Collateral Agent holds, for the benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, duly created and enforceable
and perfected Liens upon the Collateral (including any acquired property or other property required by this Indenture or any Security Document to become, Collateral after the Issue Date or Post-Closing
Aircraft Liens Perfection Date, as applicable), in each case, as contemplated by, and with the Lien priority required under, the Parity Lien Documents, and in connection with any merger, consolidation or sale of assets of the Company or any
Guarantor, the property and assets of the Person which is consolidated or merged with or into the Company or any Guarantor, to the extent that they are property or assets of the types which would constitute Collateral under the Security Documents,
shall be treated as after-acquired property and the Company or such Guarantor shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to cause such property and assets to be made subject to the Parity Liens, in
the manner and to the extent required under the Security Documents. 

  
 126 

 (c) Without limiting the foregoing, at any time and from time to time, the Company and each
of the Guarantors shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such Security Documents, instruments, certificates, financing statements, notices and other documents, and take such other actions as shall be reasonably required, or that the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request, to create, perfect, protect, assure or enforce the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred, in each case as contemplated by the Security Documents for the benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties;
provided that no such Security Document, instrument or other document shall be materially more burdensome upon the Company and the Guarantors than the Parity Lien Documents executed and delivered (or required to be executed and delivered
after the date of this Indenture, including pursuant to Section 13.02) by the Company and the Guarantors in connection with the Issue Date. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Note Document, Liens on the Collateral will not be required to
be perfected if such Liens cannot be perfected by filing of UCC-1 statements (including with respect to commercial tort claims), the recording or filing of aircraft security agreements (or the making of
registrations on the International Registry) or supplements thereto, or the delivery of certificates evidencing Capital Stock or promissory notes. The pledged Capital Stock owned by the Company and the Guarantors shall only be required to be pledged
pursuant to Security Documents governed by the laws of the State of New York. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Note
Documents to the contrary, neither the Company nor any Guarantor will be required to grant a security interest in, and the Collateral shall not include, any Excluded Asset. 

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

(g) Aircraft Substitutions shall be permitted after the Issue Date so long as the Company or the Guarantor that is the owner and pledgor of
the Eligible Aircraft being substituted satisfies the conditions with respect thereto, as if such Eligible Aircraft had been a Pledged Aircraft on the Issue Date or the Applicable Post-Closing Aircraft Liens
Perfection Date, as applicable, contemporaneously with the consummation of such Aircraft Substitution and takes such other actions in connection therewith as would otherwise have been required to be taken pursuant to this Article XIII and the
Security Documents had the substituted Eligible Aircraft been a Pledged Aircraft on the Issue Date or the Applicable Post- Closing Aircraft Liens Perfection Date, as applicable. 

(h) To the extent any grant of security required hereby would require the execution and delivery of a Security Document, the Company or such
Guarantor shall execute and deliver such Security Document, together with related certificates and opinions with respect thereto, on substantially the same terms as the Security Documents covering Collateral owned by the Company and Guarantors on
the Issue Date or the Applicable Post-Closing Aircraft Liens Perfection Date, as applicable (in the case of aircraft and Aircraft-Related Collateral, with such changes
as may be necessary, advisable or appropriate to reflect the Jurisdiction of Registration of the applicable aircraft). 

  
 127 

 SECTION 13.04 The Collateral Agency Agreement 

This Article XIII and the provisions of each other Security Document are subject to the terms, conditions and benefits set forth in the
Collateral Agency Agreement. The Company and each Guarantor consents to, and agrees to be bound by, the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and to perform its obligations thereunder in accordance
with the terms therewith. Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance of the Notes (a) agrees that it will be bound by, and will take no actions contrary to, the provisions of the Collateral Agency Agreement, (b) authorizes and instructs the
Trustee to enter into the Collateral Agency Agreement and (c) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent on behalf of each Holder to enter into the Collateral Agency Agreement as Collateral Agent on behalf of such Holders. 

SECTION 13.05 Release of Liens in Respect of Notes 

The Collateral Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral will no longer secure the Notes or any other Notes Obligations, and the right of the
Holders of the Notes to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral Agent’s Liens on the Collateral will terminate and be released: 

(a) upon payment in full of principal, interest and all other Obligations on the Notes or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
pursuant to Article XII or Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article IX; 
 (b) upon release of a Subsidiary
Guarantee (with respect to the Liens securing such Subsidiary Guarantee granted by such Guarantor and to the extent the Capital Stock is no longer owned directly by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, immediately after giving effect to the
transaction or transactions giving rise to the relevant Subsidiary Guarantee release, the Liens on the Capital Stock of such Guarantor); 

(c) in connection with any disposition of Collateral to any Person that is not (immediately before or immediately after such sale, transfer or
disposition) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is permitted by this Indenture (with respect to the Lien on such Collateral); 

(d) as to any Collateral that is the subject of an Aircraft Substitution or is a Relinquished Engine or that becomes an Excluded Asset; 

(e) as ordered pursuant to applicable law under a final and nonappealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or 

(f) in whole or in part, with the consent of the holders of the requisite percentage of Notes in accordance with the provisions described
under Article X. 

  
 128 

 In addition, the Collateral Agent’s Liens on the Collateral will terminate and be
released in accordance with Section 7 of the Collateral Agency Agreement. 
 Each of the releases described in clauses (a) through
(e) shall be effected by the Collateral Agent without the consent of the Holders or any action on the part of the Trustee, but upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such release complies with the
terms of this Indenture. Upon compliance by the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, with the conditions precedent required by this Indenture and the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall promptly cause the released
Collateral to be released and re-conveyed to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be and shall timely execute such releases of Liens and aircraft security agreement supplements as are required by this
Indenture and the other Security Documents to evidence such release. 
 SECTION 13.06 Collateral Agent 

(a) The Collateral Agent will hold (directly or through co-trustees or agents) and, subject to the
terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement, will be entitled to enforce all Liens on the Collateral created by the Security Documents. 
 (b)
Except as provided in the Collateral Agency Agreement or as directed by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Collateral Agent will not be obligated: 

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

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

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

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 

6.875% Senior Secured Note due 2028 

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise
indicated. 
 1. Interest. Bristow Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on
the unpaid principal amount of this Note at 6.875% per annum. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing [ ], or if any such day is not
a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of
original issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date, except in the case of the original issuance of Notes, in which case interest shall accrue from the date of authentication. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, at a rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; and it shall pay
interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any, (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the
extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders
of Notes at the close of business on the February 15 or August 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in
Section 3.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal and interest, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, at the corporate trust office or agency of the Trustee, or, at the option of the
Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of
and interest and premium on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which hold at least $10 million principal amount of Notes and shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent at least five
Business Days prior to the Interest Payment Date. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the corporate trust office or agency of U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the
Indenture, in Hartford, Connecticut will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

  
 A-4 

 4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under the Indenture, dated as of
February 25, 2021 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under
the Indenture). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. In the event of a conflict between this Note and the
Indenture, the Indenture shall govern. 
 5. Optional Redemption. The Notes are redeemable as provided in Section 4.08 of the
Indenture. 
 6. Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory
redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes or repurchase the Notes at the option of the Holder. 
 7. Repurchase at
Option of Holder. 
 (a) If a Change of Control Trigger Event occurs, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change
of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following a Change of Control Trigger Event, the Company will send a notice (including by electronic
transmission) to each Holder and the Trustee describing the transaction that constitutes the Change of Control Trigger Event and setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by Section 5.15 of the Indenture.

 (b) On the 366th day or 546th day, as applicable, after an Asset Sale or a Collateral Disposition (or, at the Company’s option, such
earlier date), if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Company will be required to make an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Indenture to all Holders of Notes and as provided therein, certain
other Indebtedness. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled
“Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes. 
 8. Notice of Redemption. Notice of optional redemption
will be given at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be given more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if
the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held
by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption, except as provided in the Indenture. 

  
 A-5 

 9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without
coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not
exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period
of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 
 10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated
as its owner for all purposes. 
 11. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes and
the Security Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer
or exchange offer for, the Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, tender offer or exchange offer for Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents may be amended or
supplemented with respect to certain matters as specified in the Indenture. 
 12. Defaults and Remedies. If any Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the case of an
Event of Default arising from clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 of the Indenture, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders of the Notes rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default
(except as provided in the Indenture) have been cured or waived. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. 
 13. Defeasance and Discharge. The
Notes are subject to defeasance and discharge upon the terms and conditions specified in the Indenture. 
 14. Trustee Dealings with
Company. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not
the Trustee. 

  
 A-6 

 15. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member,
partner or stockholder or other owner of Capital Stock of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Indenture or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

 16. Authentication. This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose
until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee, which signature shall be conclusive evidence that this Note has been authenticated under the Indenture. 

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

18. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company
has caused “CUSIP” numbers and corresponding “ISIN” numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption. Reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect
in or omission of such numbers. 
 19. Governing Law. THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES WILL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 20. Guarantees; Security. The Company’s obligations
under the Notes and the Indenture will be guaranteed by the Guarantors as provided in the Indenture. The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees and the Indenture are secured by Liens on the
Collateral as described in the Indenture, pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Security Documents, each as defined in the Indenture. 

21. Successor Corporation. In the event a successor assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture,
pursuant to the terms thereof, the Company will be released from all such obligations to the extent provided in the Indenture. 
 The
Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:
